Favorite Links

This page is dedicated to some of my favorite links. I hope to get this growing because I have so many great web pages to share.


Blogger Backgrounds, etc.

This blog has really cute backgrounds, great headers, awesome tutorials, and much more!

A beautiful collection of "shabby chic" background images (also find free buttons, banners and other website decorations).

www.blogdesignsbydani.com
Dani is a digital designer too and I believe she used to design blog backgrounds and accessories for people. However, she has decided to stop and spend more time with her family. But, she has decided to leave the website up for people to come and use her free blog accessories and use her tutorials on how to make your own blog accessories (which is what I am into)! She is an extremely talented designer and a wonderful teacher!



Misc.
www.joggles.com
This website offers so many different types of tutorials as well as buying a ton of supplies online there. She sells so many different types of craft supplies (mohair,scrapbook supplies, ink, paper, jewelry findings, fabric, etc.) I could go on forever on what she sells. She also offers a wide range of online classes too. Check it out.

www.polymerclayexpress.com
This website is a artisan/crafters dream! I can get most of the things I need here when it comes to making my dolls. They don't sell fabric or mohair but pretty much everything else. They also have tutorials on various things and I think they are going to be offering classes soon. They also have excellent customer service and cheap prices. It is almost near a one-stop-shop! :)

Amazon
Need I say more! There are so many things you can get here. I haven't found one thing I was looking for that wasn't on Amazon. Also, if you buy something that is coming from Amazon-the shipping is absolutely amazing. I receive my items faster than anywhere I have been.

CreateforLess
This online craft store is another one that sells just about any type of craft or art supplies one could need and they are pretty good on their prices too.

MisterArt
This website is fantastic. They offer extremely low prices (probably the lowest anywhere on certain products). Plus, if you join their membership for a cheap price yearly, you get EVEN BIGGER discounts on EVERYTHING. I haven't found any other website that sells the products I have been looking for cheaper than MisterArt. This website reminds me of a smaller version of dickblick.com. If I can't find it on MisterArt then I go to dickblick but if Misterart sells it then it is cheaper than anywhere (especially if you are a member). They also have fast shipping.

Paper crafts & printables, scrapbooking crafts, art crafts at Canon.com
Canon offers a ton of free printables on a variety of things. It is free too. It is called creative park. A must see!

Miniature printies-www.printmini.com
This website has an overwhelmingly variety of miniature dollhouse prints for free that anyone can print for personal use only. They also have a dollhouse scale calculator that is a MUST when creating your own miniatures and wanting to make sure they are in scale. I use it all the time.

Photo editing/Digital Scrapbooking

This website is absolutely fantastic! Hummie is the ladies name that owns the website. She is a fantastic designer in digital scrapbooking. She has a fantastic store on her website that has her kits for sale along with several other designer's kits. They are so reasonable in price too. She is one talented lady! This is the best group when it comes to having a support group to go to for inspiration and help. It is a little mini digi family! Here is the best part about this website, she is dedicated at teaching aspiring and beginners that want to learn digital scrapbooking. She not only teaches you step-by-step, lesson-by-lesson on how to digital scrapbook with photoshop elements but she also teaches you how to create those realistic elements and supplies so that you can become your very own designer!!! I highly recommend this website!

A fantastic website that sells digital scrapbooking kits, etc. by many many different talented designers. They also sell a fantastic digital scrapbooking software called "Mymemories Suite4" They have a great affiliate program for energetic bloggers! Plus, they have a great selection of freebies and a $1 section too. They also have various kinds of tutorials on digital scrapbooking.

www.fotoflexer.com
This site is a great for your basic and beyond photo editing. It is easy to use and has a ton of options for editing.

Adobe Photoshop Elements
This is for advanced people who are able to use all of the bells and whistles. It is super easy to use though for people who are just starting out. They have several different ones from beyond basic editing to professional (Hollywood style) editing! I love it. They do offer a 30 day free trial and it doesn't ask for your credit card. It just stops after the 30 day period. Pretty neat!

Gimp
This site is a free version of adobe photoshop elements. It has just about the same amount of things as photoshop. It is free and easy to use. 


More to come......I have so many to share but I am running out of time.......

Free Minecraft Chore Chart & Award System with Printables

Hello, When it comes to chores in our house, it becomes a CHORE to get them to do chores-pun intended! They would rather play Minecraft all day long or just play all day long! Not only do they NOT want to do chores but they also think they should bet a toy everyday and in-between that comes candy every time we walk into the store. I had to figure out a system to get them to do their chores and make it a bit fun too. They need to learn responsibility in this world because you have to work for what you want. Yesterday, my 10 year old says, "mom, can I have this new star wars lego toy? It only costs $99." I said, "uh, no but you can save your chore money and buy it that way." He says to me-just as serious as he could be, "all you got to do is go to the bank and take it out or write a check and get money anytime you want." um.....yeah.....it doesn't work that way. The bank does not just give you money, you have to earn it and then put it in there....

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Papercraft

Plants vs Zombies Papercraft (Gargantuar) Hello all! I wanted to share a paper craft that I made with my oldest son for his 11th birthday last weekend. He is so sweet, he said that all he wanted for his birthday was a paper craft of his favorite character from PVZ Garden Warfare, Gargantuar.  He and I searched and searched and found a fantastic designer that designs paper crafts of all kinds. Visit his deviantart site HERE . His name is Jeff and his Deviantart name is Jepi12. Not only are his designs the best I have seen but he is absolutely wonderful to work with. He responds to messages quickly and really helped to make my son's birthday the best it could be. You have got to check out his designs. He has a design for everyone! Here is the design of Gargantuar that we did and then I will show you our finished project. My boys and I made the paper craft together. Here is a picture of the Gargantuar. Click on the picture and it will take you to Jeff's site. ...

Minecraft Sword Tutorial Using Wooden Blocks

The boys LOVE Minecraft and have gotten me hooked on it too! Here is a tutorial that my boys and I did together and it was so easy! I got the idea off of youtube from username, "Ihascupquake" She does a bigger version of the sword and I changed a couple of things. I also do mine a little different than she does her sword as far as color, size, etc. I've got many more tutorials of Minecraft goodies. Minecraft bingo, v-day cards, and many more that I want to share with you. This sword is made using 1/2 in wooden blocks that are painted and then glued together. The tutorial on youtube was made using 1 inch blocks I believe. I wanted to make sure they would like it and it didn't take as long as it did when we did the 1 inch blocks. Plus, it was a perfect size that the boys could choose if they wanted it hung on the wall or some other way. I have to say that sometimes our crafts that we make always end up with me making the rest of it while the kiddos go play but t...
