Studio Craft Club

Wow - I really need to get back into blogging again. I have been totally remiss on posting anything this year. I will certainly try to change that.
I started a new club "Studio Craft Club" I have been having a blast! We have been making items from Close To My Heart along with other miscellaneous items. A girls just gotta be crafty - right? I made wooden blocks that the ladies decorated with words "Fall, Fun, Family", "Live, Love, Laugh" etc - they were all just beautiful. One of the months we even made Snowmen! They were so adorable! And even though everyone has the same items to work with - no two projects are alike!
This month we used the Art Philosophy and Artiste cricut cartridges to make all types of flowers, rosettes, leaves, swirls, butterflies and banners to decorate grape vine wreaths. I have to tell you - I have the most creative friends. They all turned out amazing. Just check them out -

Aren't they just gorgeous? I told you they were talented ladies.

There were a few items left over after class - so what do you do with them!? Well, I need a spring wreath for my door and just look at them, sitting on the table telling me, no, challenging me to do my best with what was left. Well I do like a crafty challenge and all in all I think my wreath turned out pretty good with just leftovers. The only thing that I cut out to finish my wreath was the 'Welcome'.

Happy Stamping/Crafting

Pretty, but kind of plain ~

Oh my - I have been having a blast with my gold leaf! It is just as fun and just as messy as all that glitter that I love too! :~}

Here is a little pumpkin that I decorated with gold leaf. I like that it looks old and a little tattered - fits me. I used my CTMH Artiste cartridge and added some pumpkin leaves. I crumpled them up and added some gold leaf to them too. It just added so much to the pumpkin!

I put it on the table and decided it needed more!

Much better with the Fall colors

More gold leaf???

Noooo - just more!

So I got in my closet, found my fall leaves and berries, set the pumpkin on top and voila! I like it so much better.

I hope you like it ~

Here it is on my wall

I was so inspired by several fellow consultant's Christmas wreaths that I just had to make a fall wreath - I used CTMH Artiste and Art Philosophy cartrtidges some folded pinwheels along with a shiny ribbon to hang it. This was really fun to make - I hope this will inspire you to make your own wreath.

ps. . . I'm sure you will all be more careful with your hot glue than I was - ouch!!!

And here it is on my door
