Creative Summit Event

If you know me you know I love online classes/events. However there is something I love more...FREE online classes/events. Just heard about this one through Heidi Swapp's blog (she's participating). Sounds great with tons of fabulous teachers and I've already signed up!

Tim Holtz 12 tags Day 1

I decided to take part (partially) in Tim Holtz's 12 tags of Christmas blog event. It is where he creates 1 tag a day and shares it with everyone on his blog. I actually had never heard of it until a friend of mine mentioned it a couple of months ago. I like it because even if you don't have his products you can still adapt it to make your own version. For example I basically only have his inks, no stamps or dies. Instead I will be using my Cricut machine.
This is my version of Day 1 which I absolutely loved!
carts used:
Blackletter font from my Gypsy device
Christmas solutions cartridge for the holly leaves and greenery.
Art Philosophy  for the "pinecones"
Tags, Bags Boxes for the actual tag using TH distress cardstock
pearls, white paint, acrylic drops, glitter, white crinkle ribbon from my stash
Snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder

Love the sparkle!

Christmas planner

At the GiversLog.com they have a fantastic printable Christmas organizer that is broken down week by week and starts all the way back in October. If I followed it like I did last year it would have helped me to not be so frazzled and running around this year. Oh well better late than never. It is adorable, helpful and you can cut it out and carry it around with you in your purse. Luv!

Chase Charity Giveaway

Chase Bank is giving away $3 Million (picture me doing my Dr. Evil impersonation here) to 100 charities this weekend. You can vote through Facebook. It says you can vote 10 times for 10 different charities but I am asking that you send 1 of your votes to Scrapbook Royalty. It is a group that raises money through scrapbooking and craft related activites and then gives it away to charities. They put on alot of events throughout the year and like many charities are in need.

Big Picture Classes SALE!

Big Picture Classes is having a fantastic 50% off sale of all their self paced classes to celebrate their 6th birthday. For those who don't know they are a site that hosts online craft/scrapbooking classes where you have permanent access to the class. This is why I keep taking them, I never have to worry about getting busy and not finishing a class because I will have it forever. I have loved all the classes I've taken.

Not into scrapbooking? How dare you! Just kidding, they also have a number of photography, DIY and even a meditation class available in their self paced section. The self paced section basically means you will not have 1 on 1 communication with the teacher like the workshop section. The self paced classes are pre planned and recorded so when you buy it you have all the contents of the class instantly. In the workshop section classes feature live interaction with the teacher and other students and material is released week by week.

Sale ends on the 20th of this month!!!
