The success of the results it off in the middle of insufficient twists and turns.

I know this was not the color you were looking for, and I know you may not want to hear this (when I hate my hair I do not want to hear how much others like it because it does not matter because I have to live with it), but I think this color looks GORGEOUS on you! REALLY! It looks like cinnamon! It is the color that I hope to go to once I start getting grey (mine is a medium brown with lots of red and gold highlights from the sun). I have never died my hair before, so I am nervous. Your face looks somuch more luminous in the picture! Glad to hear that Alexa is doing better – YAAY!

JUDY: Did you just make a SLIT, with your hobby blade, as instructed in the photos/directions? Should be a VERY snug fit! No slipping through! I have all I can do to get my card in there! If you are concerned you can always make a belly band as I did on my post here http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/10/09/1-2009-holiday-tags-my-timeless-template-money-holders/

Again if you made just a slit (with the proper punched hole size) a gift card should not slip out

As for the TEST “copy” paper doesn’t hold like cardstock, so keep that in mind too

Pretty! I purchased a few templates today. A question on the gift card holder with the slot (the first one of the set, I think). I always assemble a “test” project first to see how it will go together. Well, if I put a gift card in the slot, it just falls down out the bottom, there’s nothing to keep it in. What am I doing wrong?!? Thanks.

Love the keychain! Like you, I like various crafts and I just finished making a bracelet last week. I want to try working with Polymer Clay too, but some info I read about it got me freaked out a bit especially the part about not using your kitchen oven; I can’t remember exactly but it was something about the fumes. So I ended up returning all but two bars of clay I had bought. I still want to try it one day but only if I get a toaster oven. There is a great video on FiskarsTV by Lisa Pavelka-she makes a very cool polymer clay necklace. Also, check out this video youtube. If the link doesn’t work the channel is called NCWholesaleBeads and it’s how to make a beaded bracelet. http://www.youtube.com/user/NCWholesaleBeads#p/a/u/0/FAHrNkjfjfc Also, I highly recommend you go to google, do a search on TV Weekly. Then click on tvweekly.com and a screen will pop up with 4 options. Click on watch now Plum&Verdigris which is the channel all about jewelry. All the videos are great but check out the videos by Tamara Berg. She has some episodes on some of the basics; chain basics, wire basics, knotting basics, etc. And I really like the necklace in her episode Pretty in Pink. Hope this helps.

Lauren,
I think you did a great job with the key chain. I have beaded in the past, but I like to stamp more. I do like blng so beading adds that. I am a girly girl so I love all things pretty and you sure do that!!
