Winter Craft Season is upon us! This is the best time of year to pull out your old scraps and materials, and start making hand-made gifts and decorating your home. Whether you are hosting
a holiday party or looking for cute stocking stuffers, we hope to inspire you with creative ideas, projects and gifts for your loved ones.

...In You!
The holidays can be stressful and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be! You don’t have to spend a lot of money to celebrate the season, but rather go through your craft closet to see what materials you already have. Whether it’s extra floss, ribbon or buttons lying around the house, put them to good use and decorate ornaments, create your own gift tags, or jazz up your tree.

...In Our Kids!
Fill your house with holiday spirit by including the children in your holiday crafts! Children love to decorate their own stockings, make Christmas cookies and create their own holiday decorations.

...In Our Designers! Tara Reed
Tara Reed has been a crafter all of her life. From finger-paints and craft kits, to cross-stitch, quilting, scrap booking and of course… stamping. In 2001 she took her passion for art and crafting and started working as an artist designing scrap-booking products and then as a Contributing Editor for Simple Scrapbook Magazine. Tara encourages crafters to find inspiration in a variety of places, and use stamps to create Christmas cards and fun gifts for the family. Tara is
a delightful designer for Janlynn, and we suggest you take a look at her beautiful line of stamps here.
