Today, I want to share with you not only a super easy sewing project to make for Christmas gifts but also to make for various organizations that are looking for pillowcases to be donated to children in need. I know when I had left my first husband, my daughter received her very own pillowcase from a quilting organization at the Woman's Abuse Shelter. Since then, the Quilt Guild I belong to collects them along with a local quilt store. Since that time, I have made special pillowcases for Jen which came especially handy when there would be "sleep-overs" as not to get her pillow confused with others BUT also a great wrapping instrument for gifts.  I now make them for Lily and this is her "special" pillowcase that I made to put her Christmas presents in this year. Supplies: 3/4 yard main fabric 1/4 yard contrast fabric for cuff  trim the salvage away on both the main fabric and the cuff fabric   TIP: at the same time make sure the widt...

One of our exciting announcements in 2014 was starting our new Mini Card Kits, which you can order through Scrapping for Less. We will be continuing with these kits in 2015. Crafting can be fun and cheap especially with our kits that are $15.00/ free shipping in the US, International shipping extra. It is perfect for all levels of scrapbookers! So whether you are a newbie or an experience scrapper, these kits has everything you'll need to create fast and easy projects. All you need to do is get out your scissors, paper trimmer and adhesive. Why card kits? A couple reasons, one is getting fabulous papers and embellishments from popular Scrapbooking Companies, without buy a ton that you never use and letting it all just sit in the drawer.   The second is cost. I am a frugal scrapbooker and affordability is always high on my list.  It is not always easy to spend $30- $50 on a kit.  Our kits will be $15.00 which INCLUDES shipping! And la...

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here with a technique that may be new to some of you.  Those who use it call it the knock-out technique. Here is an example of what the knock-out technique looks like: Silhouette Knock-Out Design Technique To create my example, I first typed out the "Happy New Year" in black using a thick font (I used Impact).  The line spacing will need to be adjusted to make the lines closer to each other. Then I typed 2015 in blue using the font Arial.  The colorful confetti was purchased and downloaded from the Silhouette store. Design #17667 from Silhouette Store I color filled the confetti and placed around the 2015 text. Step 1 - design  Next place the 2015-confetti design on top of the Happy New Year text and duplicate - you'll need two copies of your design for this effect. Step 2 - place 2015-confetti design on top of Happy New Year and create an extra copy. Highlight the top design and choose "crop".  You'...

Hi there, Cristina with SBC here with you to share a PL layout I did. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. It all came so fast so I hope everyone enjoyed some good quality family time. Today I will be sharing a PL layout I did of my daughter at the beach. I really wanted to incorporate some color photos with the black and white. I really like to use both color and black and white pictures, I think it gives it some character. With this layout I used: Project Life - Midnight Core Kit Authentique - embellishments MayaRoad - Ribbon Heidi Swapp - Gold and Pink color mist I wanted to give one of the cards some extra color, so I splattered some of the color mist onto it.
