While I was waiting for little sweetness to be born, I decided to make some new Halloween blocks. I needed a distraction as the days ticked past her "due" date.  Plus, I'm embarrasingly fickle and seem to change my decor every year. 

 

I really like the fresh and graphic look this one has. There were some really great papers out this year.  A friend and I sat in the middle of the scrapbook isle deciding on papers.  It was quite a site with my huge 9 month pregnant belly!  I'm not quite sold on that ribbon over there.  I think I'll do some tweaking today. 

This spider is kindof creepy.  And glittery. 

And I had a lot of fun adding jewels to everything.  See the black jewels on the buttons and the little jewels on the shoes?  I tried to give the kitty a little something too, but she wasn't liking it. 

See last years blocks here.

"Let It Snow" Blocks

**KITS NOW AVAILABLE!  For more info, CLICK HERE. **

For gifts this year, I made some "Let It Snow" blocks for some of my sisters.  I think they turned out pretty cute!  Two of my sisters don't really care for the vintage images that I usually do, so I custom made them a little snowman for the last block.  I hope to make a set for me too, but will include a vintage snowman image to complete my set.

 These pictures aren't the best since I hurriedly snapped a picture before quickly wrapping them to be delivered.  I do like the way the snowmen turned out.  This year, I'm planning on doing a little Winter decorating.  It's fun to have something crafty to think and work on while I wait for Valentines.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

This year, I have had a great time designing and teaching my craft classes.  After my last class, I decided to not continue on due to the store closing that I was teaching at.  My darling niece called me up one day and begged me to make her a set of blocks for her shelf for Christmas.  I'd been asked before by others and had come up with a few ideas, but nothing that I was too excited to finish since I wasn't holding the classes anymore.  But Kaylin had the best idea and I couldn't say no.  She requested a nativity scene and we settled on the words "Behold Him".  I think that it turned out elegant and beautiful and I'm thankful for the opportunity to design it.

The blocks look great without any decoration, but I wanted to add a little something.  The simple green poinsettia was my choice.  I love the way it turned out.

Bit O' Luck St. Patrick's Day Blocks Class

This week, I'm teaching my St. Patrick's day blocks class.  I made these blocks because I was tired of not being able to find any nice St. Patrick's day decorations.  I was scrolling through my pictures tonight and found these picture that I shot back in January.  I forgot all about it!  Ah yeah, it's time to freshen up the shelf. 

I'm teaching this class Tuesday, March 1st from 6-8pm at the Centerville Robert's and Friday March 4th at the South Jorday Robert's.  If you are in my class, I can't wait to see ya.  If you would like to sign up for the class, I would love it!  Go to Ribbon Scissors Studio website to sign up.  If you are out of town and would still like the kit, it's listed in my Etsy shop. 



*Note:  I did mix the embellishments up a little after I took that photo. It now looks like this:

I briefly mentioned before that the store that I work at is closing it's doors.  It's been a sad, sad thing to lose this store.  I've met so many lovely customers that have become my friends that I will miss.  I'm not sure if I'll ever get over not having the latest and greatest scrapbook goodies at my fingertips.  I love me some pretty papers and embellies!

But fear not!  The teachers have gotten together and we have formed our own studio.  Welcome to Ribbon Scissors Studio!  I'm very flattered to be a part of this lovely and talented group of ladies. 

We are having an open house next week.  Come!  I would love to meet you! 

My first class this year will be these vintage inspired "Be Mine" blocks.  See what fun I have had with them here.
