Do you realize what a fantastic resource our Craft Room Library is? The images there are not just for cutting out of paper. They can be used in so many different ways! Today's 15 Minute Project is the perfect example of how versatile the designs are. In a very short amount of time you can make some amazing Spooky Transformations to photos of family and friends.
Remember the movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?" I thought of it when I was contemplating what to write in today's blog. I think it is a pretty good description of the current state of my collection of cutting mats. Some are good because they are new. Some are bad because they are so heavily scored I can no longer use them and some are ugly but are still quite usable.
This collection pulls together the best of the season in this fall-inspired set of titles, cute characters, beautifully detailed images, and even a dimensional gift box.
Set one of these at each guest's plate with their name on it, or make a giant one that says Happy Thanksgiving for a decoration. When shaken, the leaves in the globe will move around and fall from the tree.

How many of us have scraps of paper that we keep to 'use someday?' With your Pazzles Inspiration, you can use your scraps up easily, saving money in the process. Using up your scraps is simple with the Inspiration Studio Software. The placement of the image on the screen coincides with the placement on your mat. This wonderful video on line guides will help you place your paper precisely on the page.
My best friend recently got on a plane for a three-month stint in a foreign country teaching English. All I can think is how much I'll miss her, even though I realize how selfish that is. This experience is something she's wanted to do for so long, it's a small miracle that it actually happened. I try to focus on how short the trip actually is and that she'll be back soon! With her trip in mind, I made this shaped owl card.
You have got to love tags! The are such a simple idea and yet they can add so much to a project. Tags can stand alone on a gift or be the accent to a card or page. They can be made plain and simple out of solid or print cardstock or they can be over-the-top with layers of paper and dimensional flowers. Whether the tag is basic or elaborate they all start with a simple shape. Maybe that is why we love them....they are so uncomplicated.
You may have seen this cute little Candy Corn Bug in the New Images folder. When I designed him, I immediately knew that I was going to have to include him in a project. He is just too precious to pass by! I backed his wings in vellum to give them a fairy-like feel. This Candy Corn Bug Box project is probably not quite a 15-Minute Project, but it is really close! It depends on how much inking and decorating you want to do.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. My grandpa Clyde would take us grandkids for a Saturday drive through Yellowstone National park since it was only an hour away from where we lived to look at all the Quaking Aspen trees changing colors. I was always amazed how those beautiful green leaves could change to the most vibrant reds, oranges and yellows I have ever seen. I always loved the orange leaves best because they would be so bright they were almost neon!
Have you seen an image you loved but didn't know what to use it for? Have you ever wanted to put together a project but didn't know how to pull all the pieces together? I would guess that most of us can answer those questions with a resounding "Yes!" We all struggle with designing from time to time. It is the reason why we are attracted to paper lines that coordinate and stamp sets with several pieces. They help us envision what the next step in the creative process will be. That is why beginning this Friday, we are adding a new category in the Craft Room Library called Collections.
Ready for something new? We are! For the first time ever, we are releasing our quality cutting files in other file formats for download directly from our store. This is great news for people who aren't members of the Craft Room or who don't own a Pazzles Inspiration or Pazzles Creative Cutter Pro, Mini, or Mighty.
October 6th is the seventh annual World Card Making Day! I've gathered some of the best challenges, contests, and giveaways for our fans who are card-makers. I hope you can spend the day crafting—I know I will!
No Classes this week. I am at my scrapbook convention in Grand Island, NE. Wish you were here with us, we are scrapbooking around the clock and have a lot of fun. While we are away this week, be sure and go check out some of the past classes or videos, or spend the time making the fabulous Haunted Village.
I have to admit that I am a little sad that this Haunted Village project has come to an end. It has been a lot of fun to work on. The team effort has been worth it and we all want to do group projects more often. It has also made me grow in my dimensional engineering skills!
Way to go, Brenda Janssen! You just won a $75 Gift Card from Pazzles. We'll send it your way in the near future. Everyone give her a round of applause. Remember that there's been a deadline extension on the Pazzles Cruise–sign up by October 10th for the best prices!
If you're anything like me, you've been collecting ribbon to use in your projects. And, if you're anything like me, you have two techniques for it. (I know, I'm boring in the ribbon department!) It seems like all I ever do is use my ribbons as a border between different areas of my project, or to tie a sentiment tag to my cards. I know I can do more and get out of my ribbon rut! For this Goodie Bag, I went looking for new and exciting ways to use ribbon. I hope you're sitting down, because I found over 100 different things to do!
Thinking of buying some accessories or cuttables for your Pazzles Inspiration? Now you can do it in style because we've redesigned our online store! We've upgraded the technology as well so that you have a wonderful experience shopping.
There's no emergency like a chocolate emergency! Make this 15 minute gift box and you will never be caught unprepared again.
