Portrait of Fifi

by CraftyPaws | Jun 30, 2014 | Doggy Projects, Drawings

I wanted to do a special doggy portrait for a YT friend, Amador (YT: Amadoreros) to thank him for being him. When I first started crafting on YT, he was super supportive, encouraging and kind. He participated in my first challenge and made me an incredible name sign....

PAWS and Enjoy the Journey LO

by CraftyPaws | Jun 29, 2014 | Clean and Simple, Cutsie, Doggy Projects, Layouts

I can’t adequately express how thrilled I am that Dee, the owner and creator of DiemondDies.com, asked me to be a guest Design Team (DT) member. They have high quality, well-priced, gorgeously detailed dies and I can’t wait to dig in and make more projects...

“BFF Huggles” PL Card – free digi!

by CraftyPaws | Jun 26, 2014 | Cards and ATCs, Clean and Simple

Two weeks before I turned 30, I freaked out. I was not married, I did not like my job, and I did not like the city I was living in (funny, now, because I am living in that city again and loving it!). When I was in high school, I had dreamed up what my life would be...

Napkin Decoupaged Clothes Pins

by CraftyPaws | Jun 25, 2014 | Altered Items, Shabby Chic

Another quick and easy embellishment to craft are altered clothes pins. You know, the wooden kind that no one seems to use anymore with dryer machines so readily available, but that they sell in hardware stores and dollar stores everywhere. I’d never tried this...

Bumble Bee Paper Clips

by CraftyPaws | Jun 24, 2014 | Altered Items, Cutsie

Ever want to just add a little somethin’ somethin’ to a card, a layout page, or even just a gift bag? How about embellishing a large paper clip? I’ve only done this once before, but it was so fun and the results were so cute that I thought I wanted...

Puzzle and Doggy ATCs

by CraftyPaws | Jun 22, 2014 | Cards and ATCs, Clean and Simple, Doggy Projects, Shabby Chic, Vintage

What I’ve realized about myself is that I generally do better with direction, whether self-imposed or guided by others. I think my projects are better when I have a clear idea that I want to try or when I am working on a challenge with lots of specifics. I...
