The weekend is finally here! We hope you have had an enjoyable (or at least productive!) week and hope even more that your weekend is wonderful! If you are setting aside some time to feed your crafting addiction this weekend, make sure you take some time to learn and be inspired here at the Craft Room. We have so many wonderful things going on here, you don't want to miss out!
Pop Up books are all the rage with kids. They seem to keep them completely occupied from start to finish. This book captivated me and that is why I chose it as this week's Fabulous find. Just like Catherine's book, I start many of my images from shapes and turn them into things.
We have had a lot of fun sharing our thoughts and observations with all of you through our Monday morning breakfast topics. However in anticipation of new upcoming blogs, we are retiring the Breakfast Topic blog. Thank you to all of you who have read and shared with us these past few months! We are sorry to see this topic go but are very excited for some new things coming up in the not too distant future! So keep an eye out for those new blogs and thanks for reading!
It is Valentine's Day weekend and we hope that you are able to share it with the people that you love! Once you have overdosed on candy hearts and had a good cry over a romantic comedy, let us show you a little love in our own way by sharing all of our Pazzles Craft Room treats with you! Here's what happened at the Craft Room this week!
When we look through magazines this time of year we see the colors pink and red. We also see hearts, cherubs and roses everywhere. There is no doubt in our minds that something is in the air and chances are its Valentine's Day. This week's Fabulous Find goes to someone whose work often melts our hearts.
I liked Chris’s breakfast topic last week. It really made me start to think about all the communities I am part of. It’s amazing how technology can link so many lives together. It’s nice to think that because of the Inspiration we have a community of users here that inspire, share and help stimulate creativity in all of us.
Busy week? Maybe even a busy weekend with the superbowl? Well if you aren't a Superbowl fan and need to sneak away for a while, there is plenty going on here at the Pazzles Craft Room!
Tri Shutter Cards Each week, as Thursday comes closer, I get more excited about what project I am going to pick next. There are so many wonderful ones to choose from! This week's fabulous find goes to Catherine with her Tri Shutter card. I love this pattern and there are so many fun ways to use it.
As I sat in church Sunday morning, I felt deeply grateful for all the people there. I was reminded of all the different communities I belong to. My thesaurus uses words like neighborhood, kinship, unity, identity, and cooperation to describe the word. My family, of course, is my primary community but there are many others I belong to. My small town of Kuna where we have lived for over 30 years is a community. The people I worship with constitute another community I belong to. We have a common belief and have a bond that has developed from that. (There are a lot of relatives there too!) The Pazzles office is a very important community in my life. The people there are like family to me.
We are down to the last few days in January and heading in to the second month of the new year already! How time does fly! If time has been flying for you too and you haven't had a chance to come by the Craft Room lately, here is what you have been missing!
Dimensionals are so much fun. With Valentine's day just around the corner we are always looking for something fun to give. That is why I wanted to shine some attention on this piece by Angie. I have chosen the Pillow Box for this week's fabulous find because, let's face it, what is there not to love about it?
I have to say...I am officially addicted to fonts! There are just so many of them out there for absolutely free. I even found a site where they have turned hundreds of people's hand writing in to fonts. So fun! Even though I have hundreds of fonts on my computer (and growing!), I still find myself gravitating back to certain fonts.
Is the winter blues getting you down yet? I know that around this time of year I am always ready for winter to be over! All the fun winter holidays are over, and I am tired of not seeing green. I want something new! If the winter blues is getting you down too, you can always find something new here at the Craft Room! Sure it's not exactly spring, but there certainly are fresh and new things popping up everywhere!
There are so many reasons to give gifts: anniversaries, a new job or (one of my favorites) the birth of a new baby and, of course, birthdays. Anyone can bring a pack of diapers or a toy but it takes talent to make a personal gift.
The new year is in full swing and we have made all of our New Years resolutions. The diets are under way, we’re hitting the gym hard and we have all promised to make this year be all about us! 2010 is all about putting us first. I have always been one to keep my house spotless and keep up on the laundry to make sure that the kids are taken care of. Running kids around from place to place, helping out down at the school and working a full time job—I stay pretty busy. I love to join and host swaps that I sign up for online.
We hope that 2010 is off to a great start for you! We know that here at Pazzles we just can't seem to get enough of the Pazzles Craft Room! We hope you come back frequently to see all the new things that we are adding here! There is always something new in the Pazzles Craft Room!
The new year is upon us and birthdays are starting all over again. It seems we are all trying to find different ideas and layouts for the perfect card. I like to look all over the web for some of the best designs. I am always on websites seeing what is the latest craze. This week’s Fabulous Find winner, Toni,
Coming into the New Year it’s out with the old and in with the new. Which leads me to my next thought…what is new? There’s got to be some new products out there that you are all using. What are they?
We have just finished our first week in 2010! While we all struggle to keep those resolutions make sure to take some time to enjoy yourself and to catch up here at the Pazzles Craft Room! If you haven't had a chance to swing by the Craft Room lately, here is what happened this week!
I love this two page layout entitled 10 things I love about you.
