Lesson 21 - Make & Colour a Christmas Scene

Todays lesson has been thought up and made by my sister Xena, she has been helping me come up with lots of projects for you all and this is her first, I hope you love it!

Xena had the idea to colour, cut out and put together a fun Christmas scene using some of my illustrations, you can use this as a front for a card or as a decoration in the house. Your can see Xena's version in this preview...

Thank you for joining us for this weeks lesson, if you would like to share your pictures please leave us your links or post your pictures over on my Facebook page, we'd love to see, and we will share some of them in a future inspiration post :o)

Lesson 1 - Making an Origami Frog

Todays lesson is how to make an Origami Jumping Frog!

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, making 3D shapes and sculptures using just folds with no scissors and glue. For origami it is best to use quite thin paper as its easier to make clean folds - printer paper or pretty pages from magazines or packaging are great to use!

This is what you will be making in this weeks lesson...


The download includes a square of Froggy paper for you to get started as well as full picture and written step by step project instructions!

Thank you for joining us for this weeks lesson, if you would like to share your origami frogs please leave us your links or post your pictures over on my Facebook page, we'd love to see, and we will share some of them in a future inspiration post :o)

We hope you'll pop back next week for lesson 2!

Introducing Crafty Kids Academy & Craft Academy!

Crafty Kids Academy is a brand new concept from me and my talented design team!

We will be bringing you tons of crafty things to make and do! as well as great competitions and challenges. The projects will be at all levels of difficulty, from beginner to advanced and suitable for a wide age range from teeny weenys to teens :o)

I believe its very important to start young and encourage creativity in everyone no matter what their age. I was lucky enough to come from a creative family and am truly grateful for that experience.

This is to be an interactive experience so we encourage you to give us feedback, ask questions, show us your projects and suggest things you would like to see - we will be glad to take them on board!

We have also created Craft Academy - come along and check it out for more advanced projects.

We have some fantastic sponsors on board and there are a few more exciting additions and other things to come and we will be announcing them over the next few weeks - we hope you'll pop back next Friday for the first 'lesson'! :o)
