The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Sunday, June 03, 2007Old school photo album Is it a crime that sometimes I prefer photo albums to scrapbooks? I love the simplicity of taking an expressive photo and making it stand on its own for the whole page. No fancy paper, no flashy decorations, just a classic photo and maybe an adjective for a caption. The concept is fast, easy and has that cool minimalist spirit. I was inspired to make this album after I bought a new camera and started taking pictures of my daily adventures. Small blank journals are easy to find and very inexpensive. What made this project even more fun was that I used the Epson PictureMate Snap(found at most electronic stores) - it's a computer-free photo printing station that is as big as a lunchbox. You just pop in your memory card and the pictures come up on the little foldout screen, press print and you're set. A photo album in minutes!

About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
