Hello, friends!

I've always loved Gina K. Designs supplies, so when I saw a few new YouTube videos by Gina pop up in my Subscriptions feed, I had to check them out.

I not only liked her tips how to line up coordinating stamps and dies, but I loved the new products she presented in the videos as well (Glitz Glitter Gel was my favourite product I think). So I decided to share one of the videos here with you.

Enjoy and have fun crafting!

Story time! Grab a cup of tea (or your beverage of choice) and take a trip down memory lane with me. It will be a short trip, only about 2 years. Two years ago I was unemployed, and while we had our online shops and this page is my one true passion, sometimes you just need something that pays the bills. What I really needed was A Job. I was also a member of one of the most amazing, supportive networking groups in Fort Worth.

In January, 2017, I was at our monthly networking group, where the leader of the group gave us a task to create our “vision” for the year. Me: A job. I need a job. The group leader (Toni Allison, an amazing leader and mentor. We'll get back to her in just a minute when we travel back to the present day :) ) : Be more specific. What kind of job? What do you want to do? Where do you want to work? How much money do you want to earn? She had me write down on my sheet every detail of what I wanted. My protests of, “It doesn't matter! This job doesn't exist!” were unimportant to her. Write it down anyway. (At this point in the story, I should tell you that one of Toni's mantras is: “Write it down. Make it happen” And she isn't wrong!) So I wrote down: Email specialist at JCPenney headquarters in Plano, TX, earning $x a year. Now, I had already checked, and no, this position didn't exist at JCPenney. I took this 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper home and kept it where I could see it every day. I added the JCPenney logo to it, and kept watching the job boards. Within 2 weeks, almost to the day, a new position was posted: Email Specialist. By April, the job was mine!

Now let's hop in our DeLorean and travel back to the future... errr, the present. Yes, I still work at JCPenney, and I've joined yet another wonderful group of networking ladies at my company. As Women's History Month and National Craft Month (both March :) ) come to a close, I once again created a vision board – this time to honor creativity, art and crafting. And Toni leads a wonderful Life Purpose Vision Board course, that if you're in the Fort Worth area, can change your life! I know she helped change mine. :) ~Kat

🧧 Happy Chinese New Year, Friends! 🧧

The year of the 🐷 started yesterday, but there's still plenty of time for crafts inspired by the Chinese New Year since festivities last from the evening before the new year begins until 🏮the Lantern Festival🏮, which is held on the 15th day of the year.

Have you always wanted to celebrate this occasion, but didn't know where to begin, or how to decorate in style? Then let yourself be inspired by the attached video.

( NOTE: The video was uploaded in 2018, so the 5th project is meant for the year of the dog.

If you like working with Silhouette, this short video by them explains the difference between the Silhouette blades.

(In the original tweet, they also mentioned that they were going to add Kraft Blade to a video soon. That one should cut through felt and shouldn't require a stabilizer to cut fabric.)

Today, we're posting a video review that's a little different from the ones we posted for all the other pencils. Why? Because we've heard a lot of complaints about how easily Prismacolor Premier colored pencils break and wanted to know whether this problem still exists. And we were happy to find out that one of our favorite colored pencil reviewers, The Art Gear Guide, has posted a video review on YouTube that focuses on just that - sharpening.

You can read a more detailed REVIEW HERE: http://www.theartgearguide.com/home/prismacolor-premier-colored-pencil-review

But to give you at least some information: Prismacolor Premier pencils are permanent and the biggest set you can currently get contains 150 shades (and for a much better price than the 132-pc set used to cost some time ago)!

So if you ever wanted to get these pencils and didn't do so because of the breakage problem, watch Harry's video to find out what could help you to prevent that problem.

These pencils are probably the most expensive brand and range on the market. They're permanent, are supposed to have an exceptionally high lightfastness and the biggest set you can get contains 76 shades (or 80 if you're willing to pay more for a wooden box set).

Hello, everyone! We're back with our colored pencils series and today, we're going to introduce you to Derwent Procolour pencils.

(The company also offers Artists and Coloursoft colored pencils, but their Procolour range seems to combine the best features of the aforementioned ones, so that's why we ended up choosing the Procolour range.)

These pencils are permanent and the biggest set you can buy contains 72 shades.

They look really good and we would love to test them out ourselves.

••• And what about you? This Derwent range is very new so we think not many people have had the chance to work with these yet, but if you have, let us know in the comments. (Or tell us about your experience with Derwent Artists and/or Coloursoft pencils.) •••
