Details of swap:  It's Summer!   Everyone is pulling out their shorts, capris, sandals, flip-flops, and swimwear!   Its time to "cute up" those ankles with a bit of jewelry!   

Each participant of this swap should create 2 anklets to send to their partner.   Anklets can be in any style, made of whatever materials that strike your fancy!  Be creative!  Have fun, and thats all there is to it! 

I am also adding a request of your ankle size in inches.   Generally, anklets are 9" long (correct me if I am wrong here!), however some of us have a bit more ankle than others (myself included) and this way people will have the best fit!

I know about a month ago....or maybe a little longer there was a topic about starting a new craft supply swap.   However, I never saw an actual listing in the swaps section so I assume that the ones who were interested in organizing such a swap must have gotten busy as of late.   I am still interested in having such a swap, and maybe in keeping it as a shoebox sized container.   Maybe tie it in with spring cleaning?   I know my craft bin(s) need to be gone through like mad, and it being spring and all....


So who else in the mood for a Craftster Spring Cleaning swap? 

Summer is just around the corner and with everyone getting out their shorts and sandals it would be a good time to get an anklet swap going....anyone else?   

I made these for my cousins for Xmas.  I cut the chain, wire-wrapped the beads, and bought the charms.   All in s. silver (of course!), with either swarvotski, chinese, or chech crystal and some glass.  My cousins loved them and I knew I had to post them! 

For my 2005 graduate cousin.  Her school colors are maroon and white.

Okay, so I want to try my hand at Jordy bags, and and idea for an upcoming dog show raffle is to attempt a silohette of certain dog breeds as an applique on the outside of the bag in the same pattern as the bag's lining (bag's outside is solid color).  My question is, how do I do an applique without the edges becoming unraveled?  I'm pretty new to sewing in general, so do the typical cotton prints tend to unravel?  Or do I have to stick to felt for appliques? 


-Lost.

Has anyone seen 1,000 Journals (www.1000journals.co m)?  If so, you know how hard it was to get your hands on a journal.  So, I have an idea.  How about a traveling Craftster journal?  I have a blank one I can mail out, I would just need to get some interested folks and a list going.  Hopefully this one can make it back home and I'll set up a webpage for it.


So, anyone interested?

I made these for a friend of mine who just brought a daughter into the world last week. ^_^  Just a bit of craft paint and those Jolee's scrapbook do-dads, and viola!  So fun, and I want to make more!

I've checked both of these books out at my local library, and absolutely love them.  TONS of pictures, and most of the projects need very little in the way of instructions (I.E. - pretty darn easy).  Where instructions are needed, they are easy to follow.

I'm fairly new to the site...and to heavy duty crafting.  Recently I got an awesome new printer and can print images to decopauge with.  Question is, is there an adhesive that won't smear the ink?  Or would this be more of a "try as you go" approach?
