Class member Jasjot sent these pics of paper roses and paper shirt decorations she made with her kids and students. Way to go!

           

Well, here it is the end of May and we are still quarantined. Let's all pray that the craft classes at Holy Name resume soon. In the meantime, I've uploaded easy crafts that you can do at home on the "easy crafts" page. Take care and stay safe and healthy!

Unfortunately, the March class was cancelled due to concerns about the corona virus. We all want to stay safe and protect our loved ones. While we're all housebound and bored there are plenty of things to do at home, like cleaning the house or rearranging the closets... NOT! Let's do something FUN! Go to the "easy crafts" tab in the top navigation to get ideas for all kinds of fun craft projects you can do at home.

A class member sent me this idea: decoupage a prayer candle. You'll need Modge Podge, a paintbrush to apply it, scissors,and a prayer/religious candle or any candle in a glass jar. You can use cut-out images, printed napkins or guest towels, or tissue paper for your design. You also can decoupage jars, cans, boxes, and almost anything. There's a downloadable Modge Podge crafts idea booklet on the "easy crafts" page.

Note: You can make your own version of Modge Podge by mixing 1 part water with 3 parts Elmer's white glue, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're desperate. It isn't as durable or shiny as real Modge Podge.

Stay healthy and crafty!

I'm always buying new cutting dies for my paper crafting projects and recently I scored some really adorable dies and border punches which I'm eager to use for the class. You can be sure I'll be using the super-cute bunny dies for the upcoming Easter project I'm cooking up!

As you can see, yesterday's cake slice box class brought out the creativity in everyone. Beautiful job, guys!

Hope you'll join me on January 16th to make this sweet Valentine's Day card!

I couldn't wait to make this snow globe card using new dies from eBay and the plastic dome from Stampin' Up. Wishing you all blessed holidays!

I originally had a different design for the holiday cardmaking class but changed it to this one.

November's class will be held on the 25th, 1:00 -- 2:30. Right now I have so many ideas for holiday projects I'm having trouble picking one for the class!

These are two of the artistic boxes our class participants made today. Way to go!
