Elfin Stocking by a So So Sewer

by CraftyPaws | Aug 25, 2016 | Altered Items, Shabby Chic, Vintage

I am not much of a seamstress. I am basically self taught and after a horrible sewing machine accident that had a needle completely piercing and stuck in my right index finger I was a little gun shy (to say the least). However, when a dear crafty friend asked folks to...

Whimsical Holiday Cards for Seniors

by CraftyPaws | Aug 22, 2016 | Cards and ATCs, Cutsie, Vintage

A crafty friend, Myra (YT: craftyrats), is collecting holiday cards that she is going to be distributing to seniors during the holidays. I love supporting wonderful crafty causes like this, but I also thought (hoped) it would jump start me a bit on my holiday card...

by CraftyPaws | Aug 15, 2016 | Art Journaling, Shabby Chic, Vintage

Hands down, taking a couple of Sandy Allnock’s classes this weekend is the most SUMMER FUN I’ve had yet (I told Sandy that too!). Today I spent 4+ hours learning various techniques to use with Ken Oliver Color Bursts. We practiced a whole bunch on small...

It has been nagging at me that I never completed the chunky charms collection of The Greeting Farms Hatters girls that I started a while back (video tutorial HERE). So when I was able to buy a perfect display hanger at Joann’s for 50% off, I took it as a sign...

Shabby Chic Vintage Spring Card

by CraftyPaws | Mar 27, 2016 | Cards and ATCs, Shabby Chic, Vintage

I had a beautiful old piece of 12″ x 12″ designer paper (sorry, I have no idea where it is from) that had sparkly embossed vintage images of birds in a bird cage and butterflies. The paper was so special that I thought that if I just fussy cut, matted and...
