First Snow for November! ...I mean Show!

Ha Ha Ha! It's really beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! We have a bunch of Holiday crafts for this first November show...

Jenny Floro is back with a trio of snowmen holiday décor! They are super fast to make and can be used for different things.

 

Then, we welcome to the show Pua Cockett from Mapunapuna BFC. Pua shows us her wreath making technique to make a festive design!

Lastly, we have Erika Pascual from Pearl City show us how to make some really cute snowman ornaments that look like snow globes!

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you got more treats than tricks last night!  Here's wishing you a very fun and crafty November!

November's First Show!

Yes, there are some states that are already experiencing their first snow, unbelievable! But here, it is our first Joy of Crafting show for November and we are getting ready for the Holidays!

First, we are lucky to have Diane Morinaka from our Mapunapuna Ben Franklin Crafts store. She is a master at floral arranging and has created something very special in our Frosty Pastels theme. It's not a wreath but a Swag Wreath! Great idea and so beautiful!

Next, we welcome Esme Infante back to the show! Esme tells us all about the history behind her Mom's Islandwide Craft fairs and that cute little clown mascot. We also do a little crafting and make some Countdown Your Goal Frames, perfect for gifts!

I wrap up the show with an "old school" project, Pom Pom Bear Ornaments. It's back to basic crafting!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to see the show! Happy Crafting!

November's second Joy of Crafting Show

We're right in the middle of the Holiday crafting season and we've got a show with some fun ideas!

Our first guest is Kari Foteff from Strathmore, the people who make all of those great artist paper pads. Here she shares a new item, Artist Tiles. Perfectly square paper pads for your favorite media.

Then, we have Deborah Irvin back from Market City BFC. Deborah dresses up a cute wreath for Santa's Helpers!

Lastly, I'll show you how to make a simple Santa favor box. You make it with mostly punches and it's perfect for parties or little co-worker thank yous. Here's the project sheet.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!

JOC First November show

Wow! November is already here and we have two new shows this month. On this first show we have some of our favorite crafty people on. We started out with Diane Morinaka, our floral designer at the Mapunapuna BFC. She did a beautiful Holiday wreath with lots of glittery golds.She always makes it look so easy!

Next, we have our favorite Paper Crafter, Cheryl Miyashiro. This time she did her own version of a Waterfall card and made it into a cute Mini Album featuring her and hubby.

She used Hero Arts Christmas Clear Designs to embellish her pages and cover. Really cute!

 Our last guest is known all over the world for his One Stroke and faux finish painting. Frank Dumlao is not only talented but he is also a very giving person, always sharing his skills and ideas. We just LOVE him!

On this show, he showed us how to use gesso, gold leaf sizing and glitter to create your own glitzy ornaments. Just in time for your Holiday Tree decorating!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope the show gets you into the Holiday Crafting spirit!
