Classes-December 25 and 27
Just a reminder, there will be no classes this week or next week. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and I will see you in the New Year. PLEASE NOTE: The Marathon of Classes will be January 6,7 & 8, 2012. (the original date was going to be January 13-15, but they will be running an update on the class site during that time). During the Marathon of Classes, we will have classes going on 24 hours, with 2-3 hour breaks between each class to either sleep or get the project from the previous session done. Some of the things that you will want to have on hand if you plan to work a long with us is the rubber that is used with the rubber stamps and rhinestones, (if you don't have the rubber stamp kit, I'd recommend it, but it is not required) the foam cling for rubber stamps (this comes in the rubber stamp kit), vinyl, stencil material, cardstock, pattern paper and basic crafting supplies. I am planning on doing some different things with the accessory tools as well (pen, piercing, embossing, engraving, distressing and pastry), but have not figured out the details on those yet, so may only get to part of the tools during the actual marathon.
December Challenge WINNERS
WOW...WOW...WOW! That is what I consistently said for the December Challenge as I watched each entry posted. It has been so amazing to see all the wonderful things that people have been doing with the 12 Boxes of Christmas. I cannot explain to you how amazing it has been to see so many people participate. There were a few people that did every single box and there were some that did just one, regardless the response has been fabulous. It has been fun to see those from our Pazzle veterans to Pazzle beginners actually making their very first projects from the boxes. The amazing part is that every single box is absolutely terrific.
Classes-December 18 and 20
My apologies first for not having this post yesterday, I'm still fighting this silly sickness and my days have been a bit mixed up. Sunday Class-We will be sharing some ideas for things to do throughout the holidays using your Pazzles. Tuesday Class-This is the last class before Christmas and the day before Chanukah/Hannukah starts, so we will be answering any last minute questions that you may be trying to have prepared for your special holiday.
December Challenge
DON'T FORGET, we EXTENDED this Challenge through December 21, 2011 to give you more time to get them done. Read below for more details! Be sure and check out the AWESOME Entries so far (there are almost 100) and REMEMBER, the winners are chosen by RANDOM Drawing. December’s Challenge is going to go hand in hand with the 12 Boxes of Christmas. The challenge will be to make boxes with us as they are posted each day.
Sleigh Box
This cute Sleigh Box was inspired by the Christmas Villages that I see in many different stores. I have always loved the scenes in the winter movies of the sleighs dashing through the snow. The shape of the sleigh is especially appealing to me
Classes-December 11th and 13th
Sunday-We will be going through all the 12 Boxes of Christmas. (even though we will only be to Box #11) We have had a lot of people asking questions about score lines, etc. So we will go through them to show you how to make adjustments if you need to. If you want to follow along in this class, be sure to download all of them prior to class. This way those of you that haven't finished them up for the Challenge because of questions can have them answered. Remember, we have extended the challenge to the the 20th and you can entire one time with every box (that is up to 12 times). Plus there will be 12 winners. Tuesday-We will learning to create our own Etching Cream templates using Vinyl. We will go through the entire process. If you have never been to a class before, this is a great week to start.

Sunday's class starts at 8:00pm CST (Chicago Time) Tuesday's Class starts 1:00pm CST (Chicago Time)
December Challenge Reminder
Well, the first six boxes for the 12 Boxes of Christmas have been posted and the response to them has been AWESOME. It is so exciting seeing all the boxes showing up in the December Challenge folder. I just wanted to put up a reminder for those that make have missed it, about the December Challenge. It is going along with the 12 Boxes of Christmas. Be sure and take a minute to go read about it again if you missed it. Remember, there are going to be 12 winners for this challenge. Also, remember it is by random drawing, so everyone has the chance.
Fold Over Box
Here we are already on day 4 of the 12 boxes of Christmas! If you haven't already make sure to check out days 1-3 of our boxes; you really don't want to miss them! December seems to go by so quickly and no matter how much planning and preparing we do, there always seems to be a gift or two that you really need in a hurry! That's why this box is so perfect, it is a very simple box and so fast! It literally takes one sheet of paper and some ribbon. It would be great to hold a pair of socks, a handkerchief, gloves or anything that just needs a quick wrap.
December 4th and 6th Classes
Sunday-We are going to show you a really cool technique that will help you create a 'see through' title. We are going to be using some different open type fonts, plus we will show you how to create your own open fonts. If you go HERE, you can see an example of the type of titles we are talking about. It is the word Exploring. They are a lot of fun and will add a really nice pop to your scrapbooks, cards or even wall art. Tuesday-There is NO CLASS. If you haven't had a chance to come to a class, this will be a really fun one to start with. It is easy enough for beginners, but has enough punch for more advanced students. To join the class, just go to Klo's Classroom and enter the classroom. Enter as a guest and enjoy learning with us. Classes start on Sunday at 8pm CST and Tuesday at 1pm CST
Decorative Gift Basket
For several years we have celebrated the Christmas season with you by doing a series of 12 projects based on a theme. Two years ago we did the 12 Tags of Christmas and last year we did the 12 Ornaments of Christmas. Make sure to check out those projects because they are still just as awesome as the day they were posted! This year we really wanted to "wow" you with our 12 days of Christmas project series. After much debate we settled on doing the 12 BOXES of Christmas. We know how much you love dimensionals and we also know that they can be pretty intimidating to make. So let us help you out this season with 12 boxes that will leave your guests and recipients "ooing" and "awwing" all the way in to next year!

Autumn Layout Project
I absolutely LOVE Autumn. I love the colors, I love that it is getting cooler, I love that it means Winter is just around the corner for me and that I will be able to 'hole' up and do some crafting. I can take NO CREDIT for this layout, it was completely done by my best friend, Stephanie aka Simply Steph (whom many of you have met at different conventions around the country). When I saw it, I knew it had to be a project, because it is so beautiful. So I asked Stephanie if I could use it for my project this month, and to my joy, she said YES. I hope you enjoy and love it as much as I do.

First off, where on earth did October go? Sunday's class is going to be the Print and Cut class that was cancelled on Tuesday due to internet problems here.

October Challenge
I am so excited about this months challenge because it came about because of yesterday's class of creating a Treat Box. The Challenge is to use the Treat Box Base file and create your very own fun Treat Box. The ONLY shape you cannot use for this challenge is an actual pumpkin, because I want you to stretch yourself and come up with another fun shape that will create a cute box.
Classes October 2 and October ...
Sunday's Class is going to be a fun project. We are going to make a Pumpkin Treat Box. If you want to do this with me, you will just need to have some cardstock and adhesive to put it together. I will personally be using orange, green and brown cardstock. I may also have some 'accent' pieces like ribbon or brads, so if you want some matching things like that, have those available as well. Tuesday's Class is going to be a repeat of Sunday's Class. We may try a few different 'looks', but it will be the same basic concept. I hope you will join me for the classes. If for some reason, you are unable to make it, be sure and check out the archives on the Klo's Classroom page. Sunday's Class will start at 8:00pm CST and Tuesday's Class starts at 1:00pm CST.
