Critter Boxes

Today is the last day to order from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog. 

My critter boxes have been doing well at the Branson Mill Craft Village.  Here are a few that I've made in the last couple of days.  I'm now also making kits that are available to purchase for these critters.  All you need to put them together will be some strong adhesive (Tombow Liquid Glue or Tear N Tape, both from Stampin' Up!).  It's also nice to have a bone folder and a chalk marker for some of accent points.  

When you purchase the kits, you will get a written tutorial with lots of photos to help you put it together.  Let me know which critter you would like and whether you want it made or in a kit!

I still have to make more Angry Bird, Fox, Raccoon, and Frog.  Right now, I only have one Frog made up but I have four Frog kits available to purchase.  I also have four Penguin kits available to purchase.  

Remember that I have a tab at the top, Crafts for Sale, that you can click on and browse through what I currently have for sale.  And I do take custom orders!

Paper Towel Roll Scrapbooking Classes

Here are snapshots of Judy making her Paper Towel Roll Scrapbook.  If you would like to schedule a specific class, send me an email!  I love to share my love of crafting and would love the opportunity to teach you some new things.

I hope you will join me in making crafts with items in your home!

New Corner Bookmarks

Here are some cute corner book marks I made.  I love how they turned out and the Not Quite Navy cardstock is retired.   Not in Branson?  Don't worry!  If you see it here and want to purchase it, just let me know.  

Let me know what you think of these.  Are these something you would like to learn how to do?  Should I put them as an item for the Four Item Gift Class?

I look forward to hearing from you!

More 3 X 5 Notepads

Here are some new 3 X 5 Notepads that I have available for purchase.  These are made so they are refillable -- I suggest you give an extra pad when giving as a gift so the person getting this knows it is refillable!  

I used magnets from my refrigerator since I now have a stainless steel one and I had too many magnets for the sides! This is going to be another item that you can select as part of the 4-Item Gift class should you decide to take this class!

Sweet Treats

Here are some Sweet Treats I made rather quickly on Friday last week.  With my Four Item Gift Class, I demonstrated how to make these cute little pouches.  Well before I could get the ones from Wednesday finished and bagged, someone wanted to buy them.  

Now I had none for my shelves to sell!  So I worked to get these all done.  I love how they turned out with the variety of colors!

I packaged these up in sets of three and now have them available at my store.  

I will post class photos tomorrow, but for today, enjoy these Sweet Treats!  And remember, they hold also hold cash or gift cards as well as candy!

Sweet Treats - Four Item Class

Here are the two finished Sweet Treats I made with Linda and Judy on Wednesday.  The sweet treats didn't stay very long as someone bought them before I was finished making them!

Come back tomorrow for more Sweet Treats!

Four Item Gift Classes

If case you didn't know, you can select four different items from a list of items I posted here.  This class will last about 3 hours depending on how difficult the items are you choose. And how much chatting we do in class!

Here are some pictures of Linda and Judy working on two of their four projects.  

Just let me know in advance which four items you would like to make so we can schedule your class today!

Critter Bears

If you are following me on Twitter, you may have seen this first photo on Saturday.  I love these little critter boxes and today's share is the Bears that I made.

I used my Hearts Framelits as well as my circle punches and the smallest oval punch.  For his tongue, I used the word window punch.  

Next up is the owl and then I need to make more frogs and raccoons!  I'm so glad that visitors to Branson enjoy these little critters.

Drop me a line if you have any questions on how to create this little bear!

New 2016-2018 In Colors!

If you haven't already seen these in person, stop by Desiree's Craftroom at the Branson Mill Craft Village!  These colors are absolutely gorgeous -- pictures don't do them justice!

First, a photo of all five In Colors.  Can you guess the names of the new colors?  No looking up in the new catalog if you have one already.  

Here are close ups of each color.  I am in love!!

Don't have a new catalog?  I have some for sale for $5.00, or if you placed a $50 or more order with me in the last six months, you can stop by my store at the Mill and pick your copy up today!  Don't want to pay $5.00 for your catalog? Simply place an order with me over $50, and you can get your free catalog!  

If your wish list is long (meaning over $99 worth!), you can sign up to be come a demonstrator and get free shipping plus you get to choose $125 worth of product for $99!  What's the catch?  NONE.  You don't have to do home parties.  You don't have to sell the product (it really sells itself).  And if you don't want to purchase any more product (who doesn't want more??), you don't have to.  Simple as that.  If you want to remain a demonstrator, to get the 20% off of all products, all you need to do is purchase (or sell to others) $300 in each quarter.  That's three months to meet the quota.  Again, if you don't, no big deal, you just won't get the 20% off of your purchases!

Inspiration from Home

These cards are the regular size, 5-1/2 X 4-1/4, but I thought these would be so cute to send to those that you haven't heard from in a while.  Remember the commercials, Phone Home?  Well, here's your phone!

These are cut out with our new Cricut Explore, using the marker to write the cord and "Hello".  I then placed a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, 5-1/4 X 8, scored at 4", inside.  I adhered the back first and then the front.  That way, the inside stayed still while I added adhesive to the phone pieces!

I will have these for sale in my store, Desiree's Craftroom, so be sure to let me know if you'd like some of these and what colors!  

Here is one that I saved because the paper slipped on the mat.  I simply cut where the piece down to 4 X 5-1/4 and adhered to a Thick Whisper White Cardstock that measured, you guessed it!, 5-1/2 X 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4.

You don't have to use white for insides, but remember it must be a light color to make writing and reading easy on the eyes!
