Hi. I made my own doll greeting cards. I made a standard doll and attached a back to it. I left the inside blank so that I could write my own greeting inside the card.

Bloom Where You're Planted Arts and Crafts
Hi Everyone!
This is a little project I made this week. It is a top from an old cigar box that I was working on in the past. I lost the hinges to the cigar box so I decided to make something with the top and the bottom. I made something to hang on the wall.
I also made a little doll with a round body to put in the picture. On the back, I made a pocket and put three little tags in there. The paper I used was "The Spring Fling" Collection by DCVW. I altered two large white buttons to make them more decorative. In the future, I may do a video about how to dress up plain buttons .
God bless, Chan

How to Make Dolls I'll Fly Away Angel Dolls
Hi Everyone!
I just made some new paper dolls. These are Angel Dolls. They were made the same way that I made the other dolls except these dolls have wings on them. They are very easy to make and inexpensive.
I used pizza boxes and TV dinner boxes. I also added handmade envelopes to the backs of them for small cards or tags. You can also use the back of the angel to put gift cards in as well.
God bless, Chan

How to Make Dolls
Hi Everyone!
I have a little paper crafts project that I want to share with you. Its a simple arts and crafts project that I made out of a pizza box. It is a cardboard doll. Its very simple to make and would be great for easy crafts. You can make them in any size, shape, or color.
You can even change the hair color and eye colors also. This would also be safe for kids crafts because you don't have to use hot glue for this project. Another thing is that it is very inexpensive because you are using recycled crafts. You can use any type of thin cardboard. Save your pizza boxes and TV Dinner boxes. They are great for making these handmade dolls. This would also be great for creative crafts because you can take the doll and dress it up anyway you would like to. This is also great for scrapbooking because you can use scrapbook paper. Maybe make a miniature doll to include in your scrapbook or with a greeting card to a friend.
God bless, Chan

Crafts Make you Feel Happy
A few months ago, someone left a comment on one of my Youtube videos about how crafts can help people work through depression. The comment made me think about how arts and crafts might help people get through the hard times. It is a proven fact, that when people have hobbies, they are happier people. So I guess having something to do in your spare time can really help. Making crafts or showing others how to do crafts can help a depressed person add sunshine to his or her day.
Scrap booking is an excellent way to help with depression. Make a scrapbook of happy and cheerful things. Use bright colors like yellow, light blue, celery green, pink, and lilac. Let the colors lift your spirits. Add pictures of family members and friends who bring joy to your life. You could include pictures of an event where you had a good time. Pictures of weddings, family vacations, and holiday celebrations are wonderful to use for an uplifting scrapbook. Imagine a blue, water themed scrapbook filled with pictures of your cruise vacation that you took last year. Include some cruise ship embellishments. This would also be a great place to store brochures or ticket stubs. Then when you're feeling blue, you could look through your scrapbook and remember the good times you had in the past.
I have also found that sharing my crafts with others has added to my happiness. Start a channel on Youtube and upload videos about your crafts. A standard web cam is sufficient enough to get started. To enhance your videos, start a blog. You can get a craft blog going in no time. They are free at blogger.com and wordpress.com. Add pictures of your crafts to your blog. Upload some videos about creative crafts, kids crafts, easy crafts, summer crafts, and Sunday School crafts. Valentine's Day, Christmas, and Mother's Day are also excellent topics for craft videos. However, I would wait until right around that specific holiday to upload the video. You will get more views because everyone will be looking for ideas at that particular time.
You can also join some craft networks like Lil Scrap of Heaven and Scraps of Color. Once you set up your Youtube channel and your blog, sooner or later someone will probably invite you to join one of these networks. This is where the real fun begins because of the swaps and contests. You'll also get inside information on new products and crafting techniques. Craft networks are excellent for providing an artist exposure for his or her work.
Later on, you may want to specialize in a particular field of interest like papercrafting, recycled crafts, crocheted crafts, or mixed media. Eventually, you will have a lot of craft friends. You will not feel anymore depressed because you will be so busy with all the swaps and contests. A busy person is a happy person. This will lift your depression and you won't have time for sadness. There is a large handmade craft community waiting to welcome you with open arms.

A Birdhouse Picture Album
Hi. This is a project that I made out of white poster board. I call this a picture album birdhouse. I used prima marketing Fairy Flora paper and Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden.
This would be a great project to use for baby showers, birthdays and holiday gifts. I was think the other day that this would also be great for anniversary gift. You could put pictures of the couple all through the birdhouse and you could write an anniversary message underneath one of the flaps.

Altered Toilet Paper Roll
Hi Everyone!
This is a little decorative chair that I made out of a toilet paper roll and cardboard from a Little Debbie Cupcake box.
I used paper roses, lace, scrapbook paper, and little embellishments I got on ebay.
God bless, Chan
