Another One Page Design

Hello all my crafty friends!!!

It took a bit of thinking and a few sheets of scrap card stock to come up with this design.  Each page is created with just one sheet of paper.  It makes this project super material friendly....

Be sure to check the Hobby Lobby tab for the complete supply list and the details of this class.

I have a really cute bonus project for all of you....check my Facebook page....

Folio Flip Book

Hello all my crafty friends!

Folio books...flip books....folio flip books...snail mail books....there are probably a gazillion different names for these little books I am seeing everywhere right now.  I decided to go with the simple approach to create something in just a couple of hours.

How cool would this be if you stuffed it full of crafty goodness to share and mailed it to a  friend?   I know I would be super excited to find this in my mail box.

 Be sure to check the Hobby Lobby tab for all the details....see you soon!

File Folder Mini Album

Hello all my crafty friends and Happy New Year to you!

I am so far behind in getting this out to you.  I was pretty sick the entire month of December and was still working the "other" job.  Needless to say, it took a darn long time to get healthy again! 

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that a flu shot is probably a waste of time and money.....I got the shot...got the flu TWICE!!!!  LOL

Anyhow......I have done file folder minis in the past and I have to say it is actually one of my favorite materials to work with.  It's sturdy, neutral in color and super cheap!   This mini is a bit different.....I really like the construction of it......

Be sure to check the Hobby Lobby tab for supplies and details.....and  I hope to see you soon!

Christmas Mason Jar

Here it the finished project.  I still have room...actually just two spots....don't wait too long....

Paper peak

Hello all my crafty friends.....

Here is a peak at the paper for the upcoming Christmas Mason Jar class......I did receive the rest of my order so I will get to work on the sample project.  Don't wait to reserve a spot!

Rose Quartz Journal

Hello all my crafty friends!

Up next at Hobby Lobby is this gorgeous journal project.  The Rose Quartz paper by Prima is so pretty.....this was really fun to put together. 

Be sure to check the Hobby Lobby tab for all of the details and a supply list.

Copyright and designs

Hello all my crafty friends!

I know that Youtube, pinterest and the internet in general can be a really confusing place when it comes to artistic license and copyrights.

I could go into a huge long explanation, but it really is simple.

When I design something the design itself belongs to me.  If I  share it, alter it or publish it, it still is my design.  Basically that means that nobody else has the legal right to sell my design in any form.

Considering that I generally am making books, what the heck is she talking about right?

Mini albums.....I cannot copyright the actual mini album concept....no one can.  Junk journals cannot be copyrighted.  Mixed media and so on.  When I make a mini album and decide what size the page is to be, what attachments and how it folds or unfolds....that is my design.

However, when I share a design with you....that design still belongs to me and cannot be sold, shared or other wise put out into the retail market without my consent.

Can you make books for sale?  sure...just not my designs.  Can you use techniques I have taught you?  Of course....just make sure it is in your own design and not mine.

So why are we talking about this again? 

It has come to my attention that some of my designs are being reproduced for sale. This is wrong on so many levels.

I don't do what I do to get rich.....LOL!  I do what I do because I like to share my  love of the design process.  I don't give a workshop/class so that you can learn how to build it and then copy it for sale.

Please respect my artistic copyrights and my business and just don't do it.

Thanks for hearing my rant and I hope to see you very soon!
