Meeting the Wasn't The Meeting That Wasn't

Designer Claude Campeau does a stunning job and tells the whole story of “the Meeting that wasn't…” without one! As she so ably puts it, “Because my son did not want to visit Santa, I knew I wasn't going to have a physical reminder of their meeting. I didn't want to wonder later on what had happened that year, so I decided to document the story so that I would never forget.”

Holiday Cheer Tag

Holiday Cheer Card and Tag

Cheerful and bright, this dome-top card and circle gift tag are super quick and easy to create. The Santa, reindeer, and word squares were cut from Christmas patterned papers and used as the background for five of the inchies, while the remaining seven inchies take full advantage of being dressed in assorted holiday rub-on images. Descriptive words were then cut into word blocks and adhered with foam tape onto appropriate squares. Metal charms and green satin ribbon complete this festive duo.

Color Trends for Winter

Color Trends for Winter

Color is an important element of life. Somehow it has the power to affect, and even direct, our emotions. There are an infinite number of colors (or shades), and you can capture their emotional impact in your style and your projects to enhance the overall appeal. snowflakeThere's no argument that where fashion leads, home decor and crafting follow.
