This week over at Heart2Heart , it's all about HEARTS!!!! Since it's Valentine's week, I'm going to show you a couple of cute projects I created for my latest Kids Kraft Klass!  This one had 11 (ELEVEN) kids at it, ages 4-11.  What a BLAST it was!   First, I had the kids create this HEART wreath!  I used a tutorial from THIS blog , and it was really easy for the kids to make.  The hardest part was stapling all the hearts together (meaning, hard for some to actually push the stapler all the way down!)   I used a variety of papers to create this wreath, including Laughing Lola, Lollydoodle, Sarita, Timberline (these 4 are current ), Dream Pop, For Always, Footloose, Lucy,  & Chantilly (all retired).  Though the tutorial says to use glue dots.... 11 kids x 9 hearts = way too many glue dots!  So we stapled the papers to make the heart shape & stapled them together.     Stop by tomorrow to see what else we cre...

I held my All You Can Create Card class last weekend. Here are several of the cards we created: Celebrate Today:  Dakota Papers & The Party Is On (Hostess Stamp Sets) Thank You:  Sarita Papers & A True Thank You, Artbooking Sew Special:  January Stamp of the Month, Babycakes papers,  Chevrons- Proplayer Papers , Charming Chevrons Stamps, Chevron Bling  

How often have you had to look up someone's birthday or anniversary?  How often do you have to transfer those special dates from one Calendar to the next??  What a pain!  I have a solution to help you keep them all in ONE place, a perpetual calendar, that you re-use year after year!! EVENT CALENDAR I love these event calendars !!!  I have had mine for a couple years now, but sadly it was not fully decorated.  I had done a couple months, but the rest was left plain.  NOT ANYMORE!  I finally got around to completing the whole calendar.  Not only that, but I made 10 (TEN) of these!   You would think that decorating a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2 " square would be a piece of cake.... not so much!  I tried to add as much glitter & glitz as I could, without making the pages bulky! January:  Frosted papers , Winter Wishes (Hostess Exclusive Stamp set), Silver Shimmer trim & Silver Glitz Glitter Gel February- For Always , Cr...
