Craft Room Inspiration: Christmas Samples Part I

I find lots of inspiration in my own craft room and every once in a while I love to post pictures to inspire everyone else.  Recently I removed and packed away all my card swaps and class projects and updated everything with Christmas themed cards and swaps.  Enjoy the tour and I hope this inspires you!

My craft room is my garage and I share the room with a refrigerator and stand up freezer.  So why not decorate them and make them part of the craft room!

These are the many projects and swaps from meetings and classes...  lots of goodies!

Throwback Thursday: Top Note Penguin Christmas Tags

This was a WOW swap I made for a stamping meeting a few years ago.  I made Christmas tags using the Top Note Die Cut and made a box with a clear cover to hold them.  The penguin was made with the Owl Punch.

Monthly Stampin' Up! Classes

I've been hosting monthly Stampin' Up! classes for over 10 years.  I started with classes at work in a conference room after work with 6-7 girls and then it just got to be too much for me to lug everything back and forth to work.  And I would feel so bad if I forgot something.  So 4 years ago I moved my stamping classes to my home studio and it's been wonderful.  I can't believe it's been 4 years already.  It was my first class at my house so I wanted it to be special.  I made these cute water bottle covers for everyone and with every class since, I usually give out a free gift and a special treat.

Technique Tuesday: Flower Soft on Images

Flower Soft was one of those real "trendy" items that crafters started using, but then it sort of died down.  It would great with this flower set and makes for an interesting technique.
