Playing with my Silhouette and just released the Goddess as a self-study class!

No one warned me that using a Silhouette cutting machine can become such an addictive habit!  I have been working on learning how to use and design in the Silhouette software program and am still going through some learning curves.  Thankfully there is quite a supportive community of Silhouette users out there that have been very helpful with my learning curve.  I decided to join a few Facebook groups that focus on Silhouette paper crafts and decided to enter a card making challenge in the Silhouette Card Making and Paper Crafts Facebook group.

Sabine Harris created the challenge and so generously shared her files to make a front fold pop up card, a tower card, and a flamingo image for a bonus challenge.

Since I am not a seasoned paper crafter it took me a bit to figure out the cards and how they are put together.  It was such fun though and learned new aspects of the Silhouette software program by creating my own versions of each card.

How to Make a Watercolor Journal Coloring Book Gift

 
Watercolor Coloring Journal by Marla L. Niederer

Since I woke up to a heavy frost this morning, I started to think about the winter holidays and  thought I would share with you a tutorial on how to make a Watercolor Journal that I made as a gift for my granddaughter last year. If you like to make some of the gifts you share during the holidays, it will give you some time to make this journal.

 Since my granddaughter is young I added several pages in the journal that she could just color with the watercolors I included in the gift.  Feel free to use the images below to trace for your watercolor journal if you wish.
