Gilded Paper Trees


Being Christmas tree obsessed, I had to make these gilded paper trees after I saw the tutorial from @silhouette.inc yesterday. #handmade #christmastreeoftheday

Sometimes swatching colors is funner than actually painting

#craftingwithfriends


I get together with friends once a month and we each take a month to teach a card technique. This was my month and last night I showed them how to make this "Block Card".

Clarice


Have you ever done one of those Facebook memes and the result was kinda spot on, but you didn't want to share it on Facebook, but you wanted to keep the silly results for your own record keeping because they're fun and goofy and why not? Well...that was my thought process here. Plus my current obsession with lettering.

It's Just a Little Pocket Mouse


When you're going about your day and you see a cool word or two and you have to stop everything because you think it will look cool written with your favorite brush pen. #craftgeek #letteringdork

Practicing brush lettering


I've been playing around with my handwriting since I was 8 or 9. I would doodle my name in big bubble letters and dot my i's with hearts or stars. Yes, I was that girl. My 6th grade teacher had some calligraphy pens in his art supplies and I played around with those a bit. But in middle school...oh wait, it was called Jr. High back then, I stopped and just wrote for necessity, not so much for fun. My penmanship was still relatively neat, but aside from silly notes to friends and doodles in the margin, the creativity from my lettering was gone. But over the years, I'd flitter back to different calligraphy styles now and again. And this is one of those times. I'm having fun getting back into paying attention to pen strokes. I use brush markers, not a paint brush. I have, but there's more control with a marker. Turns out the favorite pen that most 'modern' calligraphers use are Tombow pens, ones I've used for card making for over 20 years. I haven't used them in a while, so I'm thrilled that they've found a new life in my new-again hobby.

New Addiction


The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Can't stop pixel art-ing.
So easy to do. Just search pixel art, or Hama bead designs, or post-it note art. This was from a post-it note art search from an office that did their walls in superhero murals. Original post from designboom.

11.7 Trek

I haven't taken a lot of crafting classes lately. Mostly because of guitar. That doesn't mean my paper crafting has taken a back seat, well not really...maybe just a little...but I've chosen to spend my ducats on lessons instead of crafting. Besides, I pretty much know most the techniques and have all the supplies for crafting.

I've known Debby Schuh since 2006. She lives in New York and tries to come to the Bay Area a few times a year. I missed her this spring and summer, but finally caught up with her this Saturday. Doris and I had dinner with her before her evening class.

She taught a beautiful travel album, which I'm hoping to use next year if we go on another road trip.

12.2: CTOTD

What does CTOTD stand for?
Well, I noticed that I've been posting a lot of Christmas trees on my instagram account, so I decided on the title "CTOD: Christmas Tree Of the Day". Which made me wonder if I can take a snapshot of a different Christmas tree every day till the 25th? Challenge accepted!

Today's tree was spotted on my way to the Habitat office. It's in the courtyard of the office building where I take my guitar lessons.

In other Daily December news, I started my Christmas cards...
Who can resist that little smile?

Putting together a bunch of little Rudolphs.

Not exactly sure where I'm going with these yet...
