CAPTURED MOMENTS BLOG

This month’s Kit Terrifc Klub comes from Kaisercraft’s “Hunt & Gather” Collection. Something a little different this month to “mix things up”! Tiffany is cranking out this month’s page layouts as I write so those images will come a little later. I promised to get the Kit’s contents on for you and I am now an entire day late! So, here it is!

Hunt & Gather, Search, front side

 These papers are all double sided and beautiful! The nice part about this kit is it can go very outdoorsy, hunt and gather, but it can also be a rustic feminine, so you have the best of both and the versatility to use it many ways! Read the rest of this entry »

Kaisercraft’s “Hunt & Gather” is this month’s Kit Terrific Klub! Tiffany decided it was time to shake it up a bit and give KTK members something pretty different!

Hang on… I’ll get the whole kit posted tonight… have to get my 8 year old to bed first!

Check back in the AM!

The 2nd in a series of class offerings, pretty much unrelated to paper crafting, is one of my passions… Porcelain Dollmaking!

I started making antique reproductions porcelain dolls in 1984 and have continued to keep my hands in this art ever since. One branch of dollmaking that allowed me to be very creative (reproduction dollmaking is very strict as you might imagine) was the “Modern” dollmaking branch. With “modern” dollmaking, basically, anything goes. I fell in love with a number of modern doll molds but I was really crazy about these small, beautifully designed fairies and I have since created hundreds of these playful nimphs!

Here is a close up of one fairy.

The possibilities for these fairies are endless and no two can be the same! This class has been scheduled for Saturday, March 31st beginning at 10am and running until 3pm. The class fee is $85 and includes everything you will need. I have set aside the full day allowing as much time as anyone needs. Most likely, the workshop will wrap up earlier than 3pm.

The fairy shown here is not depicted in a Jar. I will post images of our “Captured Fairies” soon. The fairy itself, however is the same fairy used. What this workshop will entail is as follows… Read the rest of this entry »

Tiffany and I thought it would be fun to bring in some non paper-crafting classes and workshops into the store just for a change of pace. Both of us have done a number of interesting crafts/arts that we can offer up once in a while. Here is the first in a series of this type of non-scrapbooking class offering.

Wool Felting is a fun and relaxing craft. Felting is used to embellish clothing, bags, shoes, really anything, but here, we are offering a beginning class, showing all the basics in felting, to create a frame-able piece. The cute little snowman looking toward the sky is just the beginning of what may become a favorite past-time for you. (2nd to scrapping, of course!)

The Felted Snowman, how cute is he?

This class is scheduled for Saturday, February 18th from 10am until noon. The class fee is $22 and includes all needed materials to complete the felted snowman, it does not include a frame.
