A Post with lots of Links:

So, yeah, with it being Christmas time, I have had NO time to do any posting of projects that I have done lately.  I am hoping that after the first of the new year I'll be able to get right on that.  I don't plan on being one of those bloggers that do a post a day, but I hope to post at least once a week.  We'll see how that goes.

[I made this bag for my sister and a smaller one just like for my 4yo daughter.]

Anyhow, with all the Christmas crafting going on, I thought I could at least post links that will help you find crafts to do... or give you good reading material for ideas to file away for "when you have time."

I realize sending you to these other sites could be detrimental to my business (of being a new Stampin' Up demo), but I really do love these sites!

[This is the card I made my mom for Mother's Day this year (2010).]

Here goes:

Paper Pleasing Ideas -- this page lists a ton of FREE tutorials for different projects

Valita's Designs & Fresh Folds -- Valita has some AWESOME projects that you can do... from origami to paper punching to stamping. Check her out!

Dawn's Stamping Thoughts -- Dawn is one of my favorite Video Tutorial Resources. She is upbeat, explains clearly what to do and is just FUN!

Me, My Stamps & I -- Chat is one of my favorite people to CASE!! I LOVE her cards.  I also love her playlist, so if I have a bunch of work to do in my craft work, I usually pull up her site and let the music play.

KWernerDesign -- I just recently found this site and I really like some of her work, but best of all is the color inspiration shared weekly.

Stamping with Stacey -- again, I am new to this blog, but she has great color challenges.

Pink Buckaroo Designs --  another new one to me, but I was drawn her site by this one project.

Mel Stampz -- just plain good stuff.  Great templates, tutorials and a wonderful variety of links to more great templates and tutorials.

Little Birdie Secrets -- another new to me site... loving her ideas and tutorials!      

Clean and Simple -- just what it says... clean and simple card maps/recipes for making quick and easy, clean and simple cards for any occasion!

Northern Girl Stamper -- Shannon has some beautiful creations on her blog.  I've not gotten to spend as much time on her blog as I would like, but there are tutorials and other intersting thing.  The best thing about Shannon's blog-- the diversity of projects. I love it!!
