Last April CPC Project and Blog Candy Giveaway!

Well, the month of April went by really fast and here is the final project, Wedding Ensemble Part 1, designed by Sonya for Craft Project Central.  I can't wait to see Part 2. 

Blog Candy Giveaway....

Now the fun begins... my first blog candy giveaway.  I will be offering a FREE Craft Project Central subscription for any ONE month of your choice.  You have now seen all the projects for April and don't forget that the January, February and March projects are also still available.

To enter this drawing, please leave me a comment by Friday, May 7, 8 pm PST and let me know your favorite color.  You can probably guess what my favorite color is... PURPLE.  I will be sad to see Lovely Lilac and Almost Amethyst retiring in July.

I will use random number generator to select the winner. Thanks for stopping by.

More Great April Projects at CPC

Here are two more great projects from Craft Project Central.   Have you started your recipe book yet? Here is a great recipe page designed by Shelby.

This is another cute project designed by Michelle.  I'm sure a special teacher would love to receive this "desk."

One Layer Card Challenge

Here is what I created for Kristina Werner's One Layer Card Challenge. It's a very quick and simple card that is 4"x4".  I wanted to incorporate the colors (Wild Wasabi and Pink Piroquette) that will be coming back in the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.

Two-step Stamping Technique at CPC

When I first became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I found how easy it was to use the two-step stamping technique to create great cards, especially with Stampin' Up! exclusive stamp sets.  If you want to learn more about this technique, Jacque has created a technique page for Craft Project Central.  Remember, there are stamp sets on sale right now till the end of April that are great for this two-step stamping technique.  Visit my website under promotions for details of the sets on sale.

More from Craft Project Central

Here are two more great projects from Craft Project Central as well as the April Bonus project.  These projects will work well as gifts for Mother's Day!  Now I have to decide which one to make or both. Jane designed the "Mother's Day Album in a Tin."

Stampin' Up! New Colors

I'm so excited to see Stampin' Up! announcing the six new colors (Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Marina Mist) earlier this week.  Crumb Cake was previously known as Kraft.  SU renamed the product and added the ink.  Along with the new colors, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, and Wild Wasabi are amongst the retired In Colors that are coming back (so glad I didn't sell them when they retired and now I can dig out my old samples).  And you can see that Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, and Soft Suede will continue in the new 2010-2011 catalog.

And sadly, there will be colors that will be retiring.

Birthday Card Organizer - Project 4 at CPC

This is the latest project I designed for Craft Project Central.  I personally need this birthday card organizer so I won't forget anyone's birthday.  Each file folder has a place for you to write the names of  your friends/family members birthdays.  Plus, you can store your handmade cards so that you can use them when the time comes to send out the birthday wish.  Here's another view of the organizer closed.

Craft Project Central - Project #3 (Tea Party Tags Tote)

You will have to check out this clever way of holding your gift tags. This great project was designed by Jacque and you can find it when you sign up at Craft Project Central.

Free Project at Craft Project Central

For the month of April, we have the "Bella Bleu Wallet" as our free project at Craft Project Central.  This is a unique way of presenting a gift certificate, money, gift card, and more. You can find the complete instructions under the News! tab at CPC.  If you missed the March free project, you can also find it here too.  Thanks for your support and visiting CPC.

Easter Card and April CPC Projects

A little slow on the post last week with Spring Break and a big work project.  So, it's catch up time.  I hope all of you had a great Easter.  Here is a cute Easter card my friend, Sharon, made for us.  Unfortunately, you can't smell the bunny in person.  It has a sweet, chocolate smell.

Are you looking for more creative ideas?  Well, here are the first two April projects at Craft Project Central.  This cute little baby album, created by Naoko, makes a great gift for the new mom, grandparents, or make it for your baby.

Another cute punch art... Brenda created this cute "Bear Bag with Matching Cards." With the instructions for both projects, you can always change the color scheme and images to meet any occassion.
