Now for my project:
I have used the Snowman Mini Album file from the Creative Kuts store for just $3.  


I loved every minute of creating this file.  The face of the snowman is coated with snow tex, which you can find at your local craft store.  It does take 2-3 hours to dry but the result is worth the wait.  A combination of Christmas pattern papers from Recollections, MAMBY and DCWV paper packs and coordinating colored cardstocks were used..  I added photo mats to pages 3, 4 and 5.  Popped the star on page 3 of the album with 3d pop dots, inked all edges with cat's eye color box inks.  Cheryl taught me the dry brush blush routine for the snowman's face. 

Below is a close up of little bits and pieces from my project.

My 1 yr Creative Kuts Anniversary & CK Freebie Too

Hi, hope you've got a great holiday weekend planned, I certainly hope to get in my craft room after all the craziness has stopped. 

Can't believe that today makes for 1 yr that I discovered Creative Kuts.  Oh my did I hit the jack pot.... 

I had purchased SCAL in May of 2011 feeling intimidated by it I didn't touch it until early November.  The very first paper piecing company I came upon was CK.  My very first BAP project was the Build A Turkey.  It was a two stepper BAP.  You created the feathers first, post an image to the fan page as well as send an e-mail letting CK know you had finished step one to receive the second step, the turkey.

Here is an image of my first BAP.


I made 3 by that Wednesday and sent one for each of my son's kindergarten teachers.  They both used them as a table center piece during their turkey feast.

Mind you. it was my very first, and so there is no inking, no popping and no white on the eyes.  Cheryl is probably cringing at the thought of no definition.  haha!  But she knows I love her :-) 

Now you can just imagine how super excited I was when Cheryl asked me to become her admin.  The rest of the story, well, you all have witnessed it as a fellow CK follower.

Now for the blog candy:
1. Be a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this post.
2. Go to the Creative Kuts Posts Group Page, join if you aren't a member.
3. Become a fan of CK at CK fan page.
4. Send an e-mail to wanda@creativekuts.com asking for the Build A Turkey file.

Thank you for following my journey.
