CAN'T WAIT TO PARTAY WITH YOU GIRLS!
The fun begins at 6 pm Central Standard time...that's when I will be on my blog chatting and preparing the goodies for our all night crafting event!
DO pop in to say hello and chat a while! All you need is an email address and the ability to type! I'll be posting an itinerary to let you know when we'll be doing what...so stay tuned!
Be sure to have your Coca Cola and chocolate "at the ready" for we will be needing it about 3 a.m.! Invite your friends!
And for those of you who don't know yet: here are a few of the projects I'm planning to work on:
I will share with you my process for creating a Happy Camper Vintage Camper tag! This tag swap was WILDLY popular, and now YOU can make one for yourself!
SUPPLY LIST FOR VINTAGE CAMPER TAG:
chipboard
cardstock
scrapbook paper
glue stick
pop dots
embellishment for wheels (flowers, buttons, sequins...anything!)
Another of my popular swaps was the Wild West Tag Swap...so we will be making a Cowboy Tag! (I will be having a cowboy tag swap in January, so here's your chance to sign up early and get started on your tag!) I will be sharing several ADORABLE vintage cowboy images that YOU can use on your tag!
SUPPLY LIST FOR COWBOY/COWGIRL TAG:
chipboard
cardstock
scrapbook paper
glue stick ribbon
stamps, stickers or printed words: COWBOY, COWGIRL
Another swap that acquired more comments than anything else I've ever written or done on my blog: GNOMES! We will be making this adorable gnome (I will share the pattern with you...it is a compilation of SEVERAL die cut cartridges)
Or you can simply print this little guy on cardstock and cut him out. (But wouldn't it be more fun to have your own original pattern?)
SUPPLY LIST FOR GNOME:
cardstock and/or scrapbook paper
glue stick
gnome pattern
I will also do a tutorial on how to make your very own kitschy gnome shadow box for Valentines Day!
You can either try to find some of these little plastic gnome creatures on Etsy or Ebay, or you can "craft along" with me and make paper gnomes that will be equally adorable!
SUPPLY LIST FOR GNOME SHADOW BOX:
small cardboard box
cardstock
adorable valentines day scrapbook paper
embellishments: small flowers, buttons, stickers, acetate words
glue stick
glue dots
pop dots
gnomage
AND THEN (for those who will still be with me at 3 or 4 a.m. New Year's Day) I will be having a giveaway!
Behold the fabulous:
A tiny gnome and a tiny gnome book!
A classic Gnome Tome!
A new book of Sukie Iron Ons...SO adorable!
(Only comments left during the hours of 12 Midnight and 6 a.m. will be entered into the drawing...so you will exponentially increase your chances of winning if you stay with us!)
Let me know you plan to attend! I'll add your name to a New Year's Eve Craft Along Party Roster and post it on my sidebar! WOOHOO! An all nighter! It's gonna be a BLAST!
More soon!
