After having so much fun putting together the Pazzles Express Train Engine in this week's class, we have decided that each evening at 7pm CDT (Central Time Zone) we are going to have a mini class on the assembly of each part of the Pazzles Express. Tonight's class will be for yesterday's train. Wednesday's class will be for today's part, etc. This will allow you time to get everything cut and ready, so that you can follow along. If you missed the assembly for the Engine, you can watch it here.

I love to add unique, cool design elements to my scrapbook pages and projects. Our collection today is both unique and cool and I think you will find many ways to use these. Tatum has designed the Origami Titles Collection to be used as layering pieces on layouts and cards, or they can stand alone as tags. The folds and flaps on each of the titles look even more amazing when you use double sided patterned paper or cardstock to construct them.

With the launch of our 12 Days of Christmas Pazzles Express, we are going to be teaching you to assemble the engine to help you get off to a great start. Also, as we assemble, we will be talking about and showing techniques of creating your own 3D projects. If you want to assemble a long with me, I recommend getting it cut out prior to class. So join us for the Pazzles Express and start the holiday season off with a big CHOO CHOO 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.

Fall reminds me of pumpkin patches, beautiful warm colors, and pumpkin rolls. Every year I like to make pumpkin rolls and slice them to be packaged as gifts. I love that my Inspiration makes it so easy to be able to put together a cute box in no time, to make these sweets extra special. I saw the Cupcake Favor Box in the library and thought this would be perfect! I simply enlarged it a bit more. To decorate my box I used several cutting files which can be found in the Craft Room Library.

I came across some great cutting files in the Pazzles Library and was inspired to create a fall card. I needed something quick and cute, so I decided to use the print and cut technique. To create this card I used the Fall Days Title, Wood Grain Overlay 4x5, and the Banner Tag cutting files. I used Crystal Effects to give the wood grain more detail, as well as Stickles glitter on the Fall Days Title.
Today's sketch is perfectly timed to help you out with that stack of freshly printed fall photos. I've included an option for a 5 x 7 photo or two smaller 3 x5 photos. Attach a few of the leaves to the tree, then sprinkle the rest along the bottom of the layout. When I'm using sequins or small embellishments and want them to look random, I actually do sprinkle them on the page and then glue them down where they land. It helps achieve that truly random look.
All aboard for the Pazzles Twelve Days of Christmas celebration. The fun will start this Friday as we announce the theme of this year's projects and give you the first file. If you'd like to play along with us this year, we have just a small supply list you may want to gather. Pazzles Pen Tool Gold Pen (for use with the Pen Tool) Three Sheets 12" x 12" Gold Metallic Cardstock Assorted Christmas Colored 12" x 12" Sheets of Cardstock (about 20 red, green, black, yellow)
I love to play with paper. That should come as no surprise to those of you who have been visiting this blog for a while. I know you like to play with paper too, or you wouldn't be stopping by today. If it was socially appropriate I would probably cover my walls with squares of patterned paper so I could look at it all day. This cool Kaisercraft 3D Wall Art Kit is the next best thing. The base of these kits is made of wood rather than chipboard so once you have created a masterpiece, it will stand the test of time. The sturdy base makes it perfect to stand on an easel or hang on your wall.
An unfortunate side effect of having an amazing Craft Room stuffed with project tutorials and cutting files is that sometimes it is hard to think of something new to make for a project. I was playing around with making a dimensional bird cage that wasn't looking quite right when I suddenly realized it looked more like a lantern. I added some snow and holly and they finally looked just right. These winter paper lanterns are a happy accident that I would love to share with you.
Just in time for the holidays! Do you ever need a box or bag to be larger than your 12 x 12 paper? I am going to show you how to take existing files and make them larger so that you can make bigger bags and boxes for your holiday gift giving. Don't miss out! Join us starting Sunday at 7pm, Monday at 5am and 1pm (all times are USA Central, Chicago Time).

I like to browse my local Hardware store and find great bargains to use with my Pazzles Inspiration Creative Cutter. The other day I found these glass hurricane lamps including the candles, on sale! There were only two left, at a great discounted price, so I snapped them up. The lamps were lovely but rather plain, and I thought I could make them look more special with a touch of vinyl using my Pazzles.
