i love the step-by-step, photos with written directions format. it makes it so easy to follow the instructions for any given project. they have lots of categories of guides too. in addition to arts and crafts how to’s, you’ll find projects for fashion, home decor, beauty as well as lots of great recipes for main dishes, side dishes, desserts and much more.
i also have a link on my sidebar at the right to all my published guides. i add new ones frequently. you can also follow me on snapguide if you’d like.
i hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and are making your lists, shopping and indulging in some holiday treats!
i was adding a new project to the Clearsnap Blog and i mentioned my vintage Christmas collection. i thought i’d post some pictures of my treasures here.
i have SO many items in this collection that my house isn’t big enough to put it all out anymore, so i have to pick and choose the best and brightest.
i try to create separate little vignettes: angels, elves and santas and snowmen with a few of my handcrafted items mixed in…
stay tuned for classes for the new year, starting with the Valentine’s Altered Book class! {i’m working on finalizing the details}
also, please visit me over on the Clearsnap Blog! i’d love to see your comments!
i know i don’t always post a lot of projects on my website, but that doesn’t mean i’m not busy MAKING THINGS! LOL!
right now i have a few projects scattered around the web and i’d like to share them with you…
first, a pendant that i created for GRAFIX was selected as the project of the day – 4/3/2013 – by Crafts n’ Things Magazine. they sent out links to the project in their april newsletter as well as listed the project on their facebook page.
you can view the BUTTERFLY PENDANT here: CRAFTS N’ THINGS FACEBOOK PAGE {https://www.facebook.com/craftsnthingsmag} just scroll down to 4/3’s posts and you’ll see a BIG pic of a butterfly pendant! i’d appreciate it if you’d give it a “like” or leave a comment!
there is also a YouTube Video that shows how to make the pendant step-by-step on the Grafix YouTube Channel: BUTTERFLY PENDANT {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chs7sjS2ckI}
Grafix also included two projects i designed for them on a header on their website: GRAFIX IDEA HEADER {http://www.grafixarts.com/Ideas/}, the mosaic pendant at the lower left and ther CREATE decor piece that runs across the header. i made a video showing how to make the CREATE piece too; it’ll be out soon!
and lastly, the new 2013 CLEARSNAP CATALOG {http://www.clearsnap.com/catalog.cfm} is out and they have REALLY outdone themselves artistically! the catalog is GORGEOUS and is filled with wonderful projects from some very talented designers. i am very excited to have my work shown along with theirs:
pg.4 … chalk tins
pg.16 … watermark shadowbox
pg. 30 … word frame and imagine decor piece
pg. 41 … color catcher card
pg. 47 … sprinkles card
pg. 48 … colorbox scentz card
well that’s it for now! if you visit the ClearSnap Blog — and i hope you will as it’s a great source of info and inspiration — please leave a comment or two! i’ll know you visited and ClearSnap will know i have VIEWERS! LOL!
