May Craft

Hello all! I am beginning to prepare for our craft in May! (You can all cheer now) I have several options that I have been considering. I need some feedback, so please leave the feedback in the comments on this post.

Option 1:
This will likely be a little more expensive but I'm not totally sure. Just saying that right off the top. Basically, what it is is two sheets of metal with bevelled edges that end up being wall hangings. You decorate letters that spell our the word "Family" and hang them on your wall between the two sheets of metal. Then we would make some of those marble magnets and you use the magnets to hang up pictures of your family and friends on the metal sheets.

Option 2:
We could order a patriotic kits from this lady who sells the CUTEST kits. Click here to check out some of the patriotic kits she has sold in the past:

What do you all think?

March Craft: Etched Love Messages

Ok, here is my idea for our project in March: I want to do some glass etching that will make it so you can all leave sweet messages for your family or spouses that you can change according to need.  I found this awesome print/idea which is what has inspired the project (just so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about) at this address; just click here!  But we are going to take the beautifully inspired idea and make it our own by creating our own statements, sizes, etc. 

The cost should be pretty minimal (about $5 or less?), and I'll get back to you on exacts (I'll probably just amend this post, so pay attention ladies!).  The date that has been set is March 26th at 12:30, since that is when I got the least objections.  If you still want to do this project and can't be there, just let me know!  I'll try and post a tutorial of my own on here, though it might not happen until after the craft day itself due to time constraints.

I can't wait to see how this all turns out!

Digital Scrapbooking

At the last craft day, we chit chatted about digital scrapbooking.  I just wanted to post some of the sites you can get completely free kits. 
Computer Scrapbook
Digital Diva Designs (click the Freebies link on the left side for the free stuff)
Mix And Match Scrapbook
Shabby Princess
Scrapbook Flair
DigiScrapDepot
Digital Scrapbooking Free
Free Digital Scrapbooking
Peppermint Creative (make sure you're on the Free page, they have a lot to purchase)
Manda Girl (templates are free, elements and papers aren't typically)

I'm sure there's tons more, but these are the ones Ashely and I have checked out.

Pendants

Some of my pictures didn't turn out great, and I realized I didn't get a picture of a finished product!  Oops!  So, if anyone wants to take a picture of theirs, feel free to post it!

Pendant Supplies

Hi ladies. Here is a list of supplies we'll need for the craft. I will be getting everything, however, if there are some things that some of you have, please let me know. Also how much of whatever it is you may have.

*Mini magnifying glass (1 1/2" in diameter)
*Artwork (everyone will have to bring their own, just print it off)
*Contact Paper or Sealant
*Diamond Glaze
*E-6000 adhesive
*Aanraku bail
*X-acto knife
*Self-healing mat to cut on
*Pencil

Also, I was thinking of doing this either Feb 19th, or Feb 26th. Let me know on when people can make it and if they are wanting to participate. As soon as people let me know if they have anything, the sooner I will be able to tell people what a possible cost will be to this. Don't worry, it wont be much either way =)

February Craft

Hi ladies. Ashley here. So hopefully you all know by now that I'm in charge of February's craft. Originally I was planning on doing something dealing with Valentine's Day. I hope you all don't mind if I change my mind. You have no idea how hard it is to come up with a Valentine craft other than cards or mailboxes. If it's not one of those two then it's probably a kids craft. Anywho! So, here is an idea that I wanted to pitch to you all of what we could do. It's a pendant and I also love the way this lady worded her tutorial. Very enjoyable to read. Let me know what you think as well as when is your best availability date.

Labels

Hey everyone!

Meghan here. So, I'm setting up the blog and I had a suggestion! Whenever you type up your blog, if you could add a label such as "kid craft", "recipe", or "gossip!" (hehe) that way we would have a box with all of our labels and if we just wanted to come on here and find a recipe we would just click on the label "recipe" and ALL of the posts that we labelled "recipe" will pop up. 

The label box is just below where you type up your post and to the right. 

Let me know if you need any help! Thanks!
