Do you live in a place that celebrates May Day? In our neck of the woods, we make May baskets. They are small and usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone's doorstep. The kids love ringing the doorbell and running away. Here are some of the projects we've made in the past few years. This was one of my favorite May Day projects. We made a cone out of scrapbook paper and filled it with pixie sticks. We made the pixie sticks look like flowers by adding some punched sca... more » -
When people ask me what products got me excited at CHA, I always mention the button and shape studio from Epiphany Crafts. It's difficult to tell what it does by looking at the contraption so I had them do a quick video demo on the product. I think you'll like it! ... more » -

She's also half of the team behind Fresh Nest Design. Erin made a slide show tutorial so you can see how to make this great card and teacher gift box. You can find the links at the bottom of this post for the free downloads. Download the card here and the box template here.... more » -
The guest blogger today is Nova, Glass Half Full Gal. We follow each other on twitter and have all sorts of crafty conversations! Nova's so crafty she did about 8 different crafts before settling on this one. Enjoy! I love to reuse and recycle. Though, where we live in the country a convenient recycling program. So, I'm bigger on reusing items. I think everyone can come up with a use for empty paper towel holders. The most common is probably binoculars. My son has created them on ... more » -
This tutorial was made possible by Craft Sassy. I had a chance to try out Crafty Sassy for myself and make my own darn scrapbook paper. I thought I was going to be all fancy and take my own high resolution pictures but I was too lazy and found some online here. I used two different images and made two 12 X 12 single-sided pages and two 6 X 6 single-sided pages. The process was easy and while a little spendy compared to your typical scrapbook paper, I can see how this service could r... more » -
I used to store all of my paper punches on a shelf. This quickly invited all the little hands in my house to play with them. They are sturdy enough that I was never worried that they would break, it was just a pain to try and find them again somewhere on my floor. I wanted to mount them somehow on the wall. A few months ago we remodeled our bathroom and we had a leftover towel bar. We decided to install the towel bar in my craft room because it is the perfect thing to hold my Stampi... more » -

Over the next few days I'll be helping Raesha, at My Love, host a virtual stamp workshop. She does the hosting...I do the workshop. Over the next two days, I'm going to show you how to make these two cute items. The one on the left is a box and the one on the right is a pouch to hold a baggie of goodies. I wanted to show something that was quick and easy to make that would most likely use most of the same supplies you already have. Today I'll show you how I made the pouch on the right... more » -
Making your own envelopes can be a great way to add just a little something extra to cards, invitiations, or even just a handwritten letter. I can assure you that they are easier to make than you might think. Gather up your supplies.
