Rolled paper Boxes
I'm a sucker for magazines. It's hard to throw them away. The other day I finished reading my beloved Entertainment Weekly and instead of tossing iti n the recylcing bin, I made crafts from it! Here is a rolled paper shrine box, I also used my Crafty Chica papers to make a little box.
I'm a mommy, wifey, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. I love chocolate, coffee, and I collect Chihuahua stuff. I have a new product line! I write a syndicated craft column. Two new books: CRAFTY CHICA'S GUIDE TO ARTFUL SEWING (Feb. 09) & WAKING UP IN THE LAND OF GLITTER (novel, 2010). I make a line of Chicano Pop Art with my hubby and we have sold it all over the country since 1990. Doing my best to live in the moment and savor it all!

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
