Getting ready for gift giving?
If you like giving gift cards or the gift of a brand new year by giving hand made/altered calendars .... you will not want to miss October's Project of the Month. This month's project was cooked up by Kitchen Sink Crew Member, Lisa Somerville. Lisa found these fun clear, plastic cases (which can be now be found in the KSS store), and quickly came up with two great gift ideas using these cases. There are two sizes to choose from: Business Card size & 4"x6" Photo size.
The ladies who attended KSS's workshop in Georgia this past September, got a sneak peek of Lisa's gift card holder project and got a chance to make their own using the business card size clear case.
Using the 4"x6" photo size case, Lisa has come with a wonderful calendar that is sure to make the coming year brighten up anyone's desk! :) Here is one of the calendar samples that Lisa has created. How fun is this!?! ... and the case can open up and stand upright.
It is time for a new KS Crew Challenge and our KS Crew Hostess this month is, Angela! Angela has cooked up a challenge where we not only get to push our creativity... but we get to count too!
Angela's KS Crew Challenge #18 - Easy as 1, 2, 3: Use only 1 Pop Dot, 2 Embellishments (of your choice), and 3 different stamped images.
You can use as many layers as you'd like, but please don't use more than the items listed. Want to use ribbon? That counts as one embellishment, but...you can use as many different types of ribbon as you'd like. Make sense?
Check out what the KS Crew has cooked up to get you started.

KS Crew Member, Julie Masse has a spectacular way to give a gift this Harvest & Holiday Season. It is also September's Project of the Month! You may remember Julie's clear box that she created to hold her altered wooden blocks (July's POM) using the Multi Step Berries set (found here).
Lucky for us, Julie is sharing her clear box creation with us! You'll find her fabulous tutorial HERE.
For Julie's Sept. POM, she used the new KSS set, Multi Step Pumpkin, to decorate her clear box ... isn't just the cutest?!! Want to know what's in side? Well, you'll have to go to Julie's blog to see. All I can say is... it makes the sweetest gift that is sure to warm some one's heart!
Thank you so much Julie for sharing your wonderful project with us! :)
