Vinyl Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

Thanksgiving is still a week away, but today we put up our Christmas Tree at the Pazzles Office. It's the perfect kind of tree, no falling needles and no need to water it, because it's a vinyl wall tree! We are thrilled to introduce you to our Christmas Tree Advent Calendar. It may seem a little early for a Christmas Tree, but we wanted you to have plenty of time to get this project completed before December 1st. This advent calendar is the perfect project for a weekend of crafting.

Did you know that Craft ...

Elf on a Ledge

We haven’t even made it through Thanksgiving yet and I’m already looking forward to setting my tree up. In fact I will have it set up this weekend. With that in mind, I’ll need a good elf to keep an eye on friends and family when they come to visit—after all, I need help determining who’s been naughty and nice. This little elf will be just the thing I need.

Inking and Chalking Tips

Cutting out amazing images in any color, shape and size: isn't that the magic of the Pazzles Inspiration electronic cutter? I can cut paper shapes and combine layers, colors and textures to create a visual feast for the eyes. If you stop with the paper and glue you have a great project. However, if you want an amazing project you need to move beyond the paper. You can add depth and character by inking or chalking the paper to add shadow and highlights. Suddenly, like magic, the flat pieces of paper have curves and dimension.

Birthday Snapshots Scrapbook Layout

We saw that quite a few of you voted for scrapbook pages when we asked what images you wanted to see in the Craft Room Library. We will happily create some complete scrapbook page cutting files in the future, but for today we wanted to showcase a layout made by pulling some existing files from the Library!

No Classes: November 11 and ...

I am sorry for the delay in getting this posted, as mentioned in last week's class, I was going to try and teach from my hotel room, but my connection is not reliable, so there will be no classes this week.

Pilgrim Hat and Bonnet

Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little partial to miniature things made of paper. These Thanksgiving Pilgrim hats are no exception. I think they are so sweet and I can't wait to make a dozen of them. They would be so cute on each child's plate at the kid's table; a hat for the boys and a bonnet for the girls. Or, attach the hat version to a headband for a fun photo prop.

Circle Of Crafters Medallion

Celebrate culture with international paper ...

I'm fascinated by other cultures. I love to learn about traditional festivals, clothing, food, and—of course—crafts! I blame being a military brat. When I was a kid, my family packed up and moved every three years. I've lived in five different states and one foreign country, which has given me a bit of wanderlust. World travel is something I aspire to do someday, perhaps when I retire. But in the meantime, I will satisfy my globe-trotting urges by celebrating foreign culture! Today's Goodie Bag will cover some international paper crafts... and maybe some tutorial links!

Hope Shines Through Card

I made this card at home for a challenge project on another forum, but Michelle loved it so much, she asked me to show it off here! I'm happy to oblige. It's a really easy 15 Minute Project using one of the Sunray Card files I designed.

Today's Tips and Tricks blog will show you the ins and outs of the search feature in the Craft Room Library.

October Challenge Winner

My apologies for the late announcement on this, but I'm sure that cgmerek will be happy to know that she is the winner of the random drawing for our October winner.
