ArtSmarts! by Carol Heppner
Family Cookbook
Scrap and Stamp Arts Magazine
November, 2006

My new article, ArtSmart's, in Scrap and Stamp Arts will show you how to create your own family cookbook. This is NOT your mother's cookbook. Have fun using rubber stamps to create these wonderful pages that will sure to be a hit with everyone. Family photographs are used to help readers match the recipe with those who made the delicious dishes. The article includes a pattern for you to enlarge.

The cookbook from the article was given to my mom and she has it on display. Family members love looking at it. I'll be making these as Christmas gifts this year, but that's just between you and me. I don't want to spoil the surprise!!

Easy Heart Wall Pockets

Polymer Cafe

Fall, 2006

Can you use a cookie cutter? Ever make cutout cookies?? That is how easy it is to make these beautiful heart pockets. While I used polymer clay to create these, you can use paper clay or another air-dry clay.

The article has photograph, step-by-step instructions to help you make these in a jiffy. Just be warned, they are so fun to make that you'll want to make a lot. They are so easy, even the kids can help!

These would be wonderful teacher or hostess gift for the upcoming holidays. Teachers: if you use air-dry clay, they would be great art projects for your class. Instead of using a chain with charms, you can use a ribbon as a holder.

My Italian Famliy History
Legacy Magazine

Fall, 2006

Years of research helped me discover my Italian family and you can read the highlights in Legacy's Fall issue. Learn how you can create miniature books to hold your family history and how to alter cigar boxes to hold those books.

I found that when I would show my family my research, they were not interested. However, as soon as I started creating these little gems, they loved looking at the information.

There are several different techniques used in making these books and boxes, you can then take those

learned techniques and apply them to other art projects!
