Today’s prompt was about crowns and queens. We were given 3 sayings to inspire our layout. 1. Her courage was her crown and she wore it like a queen. 2.… Read More »
There are several things that I’m learning about traveler’s notebooks as I’m using the first ones I created. They really are fun to use. I like having a place where scrapbooking meets journaling in a pretty relaxed way. I may be the only person that looks at my traveler’s notebooks, but I enjoy going back ever few days… Read More »

I will confess that I was a little unsure of the stamp set included in this month’s Create and Inkspire card kit. I love the value I’ve been getting in these kits! This one came with some beautiful specialty papers and cardstock, a two step stencil, and some rub on luster paint. The papers are so nice, I… Read More »
Every now and then, I like to create a clean and simple (CAS) card just to show myself I can. I LOVE CAS cards and I aspire to create all CAS cards. It often never works that way because I like all the things!! I love techniques and embellishments and layers way too much to confine myself to… Read More »

Last week I shared a card that I created with an underwater scene created by Patricia Alvarez from Kinda Cute by Patricia.

The digital image that I played with this week for the Scrapping 4 Fun Challenge is a really fun image!

Yesterday was day 21 of the LayOut A Day (LOAD) challenge at Scrap Happy for October 2020. The story prompt was to show a best fishy catch. This is an easy one for me.

I’ve done a really good job of using up my craft stash over the last 10 months. I’ve actually got some empty shelves and drawers in my craft room! I have been telling myself for years, that I just needed time. I kept saying that I wanted to keep the stuff I wasn’t using because I would enjoy… Read More »
I have only purchased one or two new fall stamp sets this year. I had purchased a couple sets last year that I didn’t use enough, so I decided that I didn’t need more fall sets until the ones I have got plenty of use. I decided to experiment with two card sketches today. I was playing with… Read More »
Now that I’ve really gotten back into scrapbooking full swing, I decided that it’s time to beef up my stash of some items that I’ve never kept in my stash. If you saw my last video, you know that I’ve been making my own scrapbook kits out of a few new papers and a lot of older materials… Read More »
The Scrap Happy LOAD challenge prompt for today was about family in the military or to use stripes on the layout.
