Today you begin to fill the pockets of Dad's tool belt by spelling the word D-A-D using common tools that every Dad can recognize. Make the treat even better by backing each tool with one of his favorite candies. A sweet treat for a sweet guy, what father can resist that message?
This week we are focusing on the men in our lives with a tool belt gift set. Each day this week we will add another element to the belt and by the weekend your belt will be complete and ready for gift giving.
Introducing our latest Cutting Collection, Camp Out. This outdoorsy collection features nine paper pieced images and titles plus a dimensional Sleeping Bag Invitation. Use this Collection to create designs for a camping themed party, a family reunion, or cards and gifts for your favorite outdoorsman. Once the adventures are over, document your memories and your photos on a scrapbook layout.
This month we are going to do something a little different. Instead of giving a project or subject, we are going to give you a color challenge. I researched the trending colors for 2013 and found four fabulous palettes at the Sherwin Williams website. Your challenge for the month is to choose from one of the palettes. Whether you love the moody colors from Midnight Mystery palette, or the earthy tones from Honed Vitality palette or the bold pastels from Vintage Moxie palette or the bright and vibrant colors from High Voltage palette, have fun creating your project, layout or card using the palette of your choice. I look forward to seeing your creations. When loading your project to the Challenge Folder, please put which palette you chose in the description. Be sure and post your project here in the June Challenge Folder. Don’t forget, the winner is chosen by random drawing, so everyone has the same chance to win. If you don’t remember what the wonderful challenge prizes are, go take a look on the Challenge Page and see what you will pick if you win. Not sure how to post to the Pazzles Challenge Folder or any other Pazzles Album? Here are the instructions to teach you.
Summer to me means camping, fishing and plenty of sunshine. The best place to find all three is down on the lake enjoying the day with friends and catching sun rays on the boat. Maybe you are lucky enough to enjoy tropical beaches where you live. If so, your friends here at Pazzles are very jealous!
We are going to create a fun and simple project for tracking and documenting a special goal or we have set in our lives. Whether it is training for a marathon, planning a garden, decorating a room or some other goal or event we want to be able to track, this will be a fun and creative way to keep track of your progress. Join us starting Sunday at 7pm, Monday at 5am and 1pm (all times are USA Central, Chicago Time). If you are not sure what time that is in your location, go to the World Time Conversion site to see what time you will join us. To join, simply go to Klo’s Classroom, then Enter Classroom and sign in as a guest.
Do you have a favorite paper crafter that always catches your eye? Someone who's style is enviable and you can recognize their work in a lineup of projects? In the next few months we will be highlighting different styles in our Goodie Bag posts. We'll identify several of the most popular styles and help you to discover your own personal style. We'll offer tips to make your style stand out and maybe inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Today we are talking Vintage and Shabby Chic style. This style is defined as soft, aged, weathered and used. Its beauty lies in the reuse of old, aged items whether they are truly vintage or modern replicas.
I will admit I'm a cat lover. So when it was time to attend a friend's baby shower, I couldn't resist making this fun little kitty cat bag to hold my goodies. I enjoy taking a simple file from the Craft Room library and turning it in to a project. You can create a box out of almost any cutting file.
This past weekend we received a message from a Craft Room member on our Facebook page asking how to make a round monogram. During our conversation she mentioned that round monograms are really popular. Some are even cutting them out of vinyl and putting them on their toenails! She just couldn't quite figure out how to make her own.
The sun is beginning to shine here in the UK, and the summer holidays will soon be upon us. I came across this gorgeous Teardrop Trailer file in the Craft Room Library and thought it would be ideal to transform into a small gift for someone going on their holidays.
Congratulations to dana for winning the May Challenge. Her version of the Mortarboard Money Holder Envelope fit the May theme of Graduation perfectly.
Memorial Day weekend in the United States means the beginning of Summer here. (Sorry to our Australian friends, who are just heading in to Winter!) Coats are put away for the next few months, gardens are planted, and barbecues are planned. It is time to welcome summer! Whether you are still scrapbooking the last season, or busy preparing for the warm months ahead you can use this layout to quickly get your photos into your album.
Just a reminder there is no class this week. I hope you will take some time to watch some past classes or videos. Spend an hour with your Inspiration and learn or create something.
We all love sharing things with friends whether it’s the latest projects we’ve created, a great coupon in the paper, an idea, or even a secret. It’s nice when you have someone to fall back on and even better when that friend shares in the excitement of something you love too, like crafting! When it comes to friends with an Inspiration it’s nice to know that we can give them a call and ask questions on different materials they may have cut, and what settings worked best for them.
Hello all! This project uses the Craft Room Library’s Round Handle Box.
What is the connection between subway art, washi tape, and walls? In today's Take Two video tutorial, Michelle and I show you how to go large with washi! We are going to show you how making your own Wall Washi allows you to create projects that would not be possible with the average thin washi strips.
Need a quick way to take ordinary lunch sacks and make them extraordinary? The Lunch Sack Gift Bag Cutting Collection will be a big hit with your giftees, and that’s even before they see what is inside!

Summer is upon us here in Idaho and that means school's out for summer! My kids have spent the last nine months with their fabulous teachers and I wanted to do something special to say thank you. To show my appreciation I created this Rainbow Pencil Holder Gift Box for today's project so we can make teachers everywhere happy.
Just a reminder there is no class this week. I hope you will take some time to watch some past classes or videos. Spend an hour with your Creative Cutter and learn or create something.
Just a few more days remain to get your May Challenge entries in. This month's theme is all about graduation. The challenge for this month is to create a project, any project with the word graduation in mind. Which definition of graduate will you use? Let's take a look at what the Pazzles Design Team came up with for this theme!

We hope you had fun playing along with us for National Scrapbooking Day, we know we did!
It's almost the end of the school year for a lot of kids and teachers and it is time to make all those teachers feel extra special. I wanted to make some very special teacher cards. Inspired by a quote that I found online, I created this card.
Have you discovered the many used of washi? Here in the Pazzles office we are wild for washi! It is such a fun addition to almost any project and comes in a variety of designs. My favorite part is the fact that you can tear it to different lengths and the messy edge is OK. (I like permission to be a bit messy- it validates my penchant for making clutter when I create.) It can also be layered and because most washi is transparent you get an hombre look by adding layers.
