I have been having so much fun learning to create boxes. As I was creating a box a few weeks ago, I 'saw' it as a Gingerbread House. And to make it more fun, Chris from Pazzles just shared an adorable Gingerbread House Box over at the Pazzles Craft Room, so be sure and check it out as well.
Here is the one I did
Crafting with my Pazzles in all forms is where I find my happy place.

It is time for the Holidays
Thursday, November 25, 2010
What do you have on your gift list? I started thinking about what I would like this year and realized, I have it. As many of you know, I have had a Pazzles machine since they first came out. I started out with the Pro machine and had a Mini as well. I also had a Mighty (Pazzles sent me to learn, since I was traveling for them at the time and needed to be able to answer questions). Now I have an Inspiration. It is my favorite. Yes, I still have the other ones, but they are in boxes and sitting in storage, because my Inspiration does EVERYTHING all of those did and more.
I bring this up, because of the wonderful Promotion that Pazzles is running. If you have been wanting a Pazzles Inspiration, but have been unable to get it, now is the time. If you click here, you can see how to get your own Inspiration for $99* or $199*.
Here is an idea for those of you that have the Inspiration, but would like to have the Pazzles Craft Room. Why not sign up for the Craft Room for yourself and give the Inspiration to a friend, sister, daughter, mother, daughter in law, etc for the $99* or $199. Click here and make everyone have a Happy Holiday.

Need your Help
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. For those of you that get emails of my blog, do any of you have the ones from a few weeks ago when I did all the classes? If you do, can you forward them to me at klo@scrappingusa.com
We have recovered the classes, but I'm working on getting them all titled, etc again and hoping that having that will make it a bit easier.
Thanks so much, Klo

Stork and Baby File
Saturday, June 12, 2010
I had the great opportunity to teach a one on one class to a very sweet lady from Kansas named Jackie. She came up on Thursday and we worked on Thursday evening, Friday day and Saturday morning. She was awesome and learned so much. One of the things I taught her was to create a paper piecing. She created on her computer as I created on mine and we worked through each step, anyway, here is my finished project and the files I created. I hope you enjoy them.

Adding the Special Touches with Chalk and Ink
Thursday, May 27, 2010
Here is a video on how I chalk and add details to give a dimensional look to my paper piecing. I did Cinderella from a color book I downloaded off of the Internet. I am not actually showing you how create the cutting file, but I am sharing the finished file with you. Just follow the link after watching the videos. Sorry for having a Part #1 and Part #2, unfortunately I can only upload 10 minutes or less, and this was 14 minutes. Thanks!

Oki one Kanoki
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Many of you have met my sister, Diane at the shows I have been do. She is an artist and has taught Adobe Illustrator at FIDM aka Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (downtown LA) for 10 or 12 years...can't remember which, but it has been awhile.
Of course, I cut him out on my Pazzles Inspiration. Doesn't he look so cute next to my drums that I got in Africa last fall? Of course, the metal carrots are there for spring....or WAIT, maybe I will say that is what he eats...YES, that is the answer, that is why they are there...LOL
Now, I have added a few things to my living room that I got from Africa and I want you to be sure and NOTICE the lion and giraffe that is on top of the cabinet. Don't they look authentic?
This makes me happy, and I think I'm going to keep adding to my wall as I GROVEL and BEG for more characters from Diane, check out her art at www.dianepacker.com

New Tutorial
Hi everyone,
at the class on Sunday night, we were talking about using fonts without having to install them. Well, I was talking to Chris at Pazzles and she was actually in the process of putting one together and she just added it today to the Pazzles Craft Room. It is a FREE video and very well done. Because it is so well done, I won't be doing one on my blog, but will send you there.
It is under the Ka-Ching heading for todays blog update...or you can just go to Videos and The Fundamentals and it is there... it is at Pazzles Craft Room
