Tis' the season to get crafty, fa la la la la, la la la la! We had a blast with this fun paint party! Reindeer Lights a Social Artworking Party was a huge hit! We had several different ages and as you can see they all created beautiful masterpieces. 
Social Artworking makes things easy. You provide the location the guests and the treats (who doesn't love treats) and your consultant provides everything that else that you need in order to host a fabulous Social Artworking event. Think... Bridal Showers, Birthday Parties, Holiday Parties, GNO, Date Night, and the list could go on and on!
Below is a quick video sharing the fun times that these kids had at this party!

Mom & Me Paint Party with SocialArtworking and Walnut Hollow

7/27/2017

Have you ever heard of Social Artworking? This is our second event we have hosted and they both were a true success! We created a darling Vintage trailer with banner on a large wood round from Walnut Hollow. We used the " Happy Camper" template, this can be found under Social Artworking Junior. The great thing about Social Artworking that is a step above the rest is that for every painting there is a template. Meaning there is an instruction sheet, tracing paper, and the image. By tracing the image onto your surface this cuts out the guessing game and takes your project from stressful to stress free!
Picture
You will see below that all of our guests had an amazing time. The kids had just as much fun as the adults. Midge was our fabulous instructor for the evening. She goes through and answers several questions through the video. (This was recorded previously on FB live)
 When you go to our Social Artworking events all of your supplies are provided for you! Paint, Brushes, Image, and let's not forget about our fabulous instructors! Not Local? Thats alright, find a consultant in your area Here or you can order HERE for your own DIY Style Party!

We love our Cricut! And we love Cricut Design Space! We know that getting a Cricut Explore Air 2, and pulling it out of the box can be scary! However, Cricut has made it even easier in Design Space with "Make it Now projects". We are often asked, "is it easy to create a Make it Now project in Cricut Design Space?" The answer is absolutely! There are so many different projects to choose from. The great thing is that you can go into your Design Space and choose one of the many options. It will then take you to another screen with all of the info you need to create that project. But.... you can even take it one step further by using the Design from the "Make it Now project" and turning it into a " Make it your own project." That is what we did with this beautiful project you see above.
Watch the step by step tutorial on how we took a "Make it Now" project titled Fancy Clutch and turned it into this fun " Make it your own" Composition Notebook. Be sure to follow us on YouTube and IG and watch us on FB Live each and every Monday at 11:00 am MST!
We hope that you enjoyed today's tutorial! Thanks again for watching!

Supplies needed:
* Composition Notebook
*Cricut Sticker Paper
* Cricut paper Trimmer
* 1.0 Gold Cricut Pen
* Gold Washi Tape
* Cricut Scissors
* Cricut Explore Air 2

Be sure to get your supplies today {HERE}

* Blue Straws- Qty- 11 cut at 3"

We created the Freedom Cut out on our Cricut using Pic Monkey (font Coffee Break) and uploading our image into design space.  You can get the image here and upload it into design space.
