Jack in the Box Ornament Freebie

This happy elf was inspired by one I made long ago for my first craft show when I was kid. The original was made as a soft sculpture in nylons and plastic canvas. Those were the popular crafts at the time.. gives you an idea how long ago it was. :) This one however can be printed from your home computer on heavy cardstock. Enjoy and Merry Wishes!

Fall Inspired Paper Crafts

Happy Fall y'all! Been working on this mushroom dollhouse playset for quite awhile and happy to share it with you. Meet Lucky the gnome! She loves to spin wool and knit items from the yarn she makes. She even has her own craft cart to sell her goods to the other gnomes in the neighborhood. Twin foxes keep her company as well as her friend Red who runs the windmill and plays the ukulele.

I also designed this awesome gnome log race car playset with car that really can zip around.

New Alice in Wonderland Printables

I just couldn't stop with the Alice Kawaii Playset I designed. My mind kept racing with other ideas to expand the Alice in Wonderland Collection. I thought my head would pop with all the ideas ... kinda like this little Alice animation I did. :) What if I had a paper tea set with a topiary place card where you could turn the roses red!  How about some tea cups that held cupcakes!! And I have to have some puppet favors to go with the party!! Maybe a googly eyed Chesire Cat and a Door Mouse that peeks out tea pot. Well I designed in ALL! Plus a few other goodies for the most fantastic Alice Paper Printable Craft Collection ever! The entire collection can now be purchased at a reduced price bundled together exclusively in my shop!

New Printables for 2012

 As I look at my 2011 list of goals I realize I did pretty good. Didn't quite get to all of them but I did finish my main goal, a professional website with a cart. For 2012 I plan to focus on printables. Above is an addition to my Alice in Wonderland collection. This Alice Party Set will feature a very fun paper tea set and wonderful pocket watch invitation.

I'm also working on a cute bird collection. I just finished the paper shape of the little bird below. The collection will include a cuckoo clock, birdcage and bird house.
