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!

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. While I’ve had a significant number of family members serve in the military, including my dad, I don’t actually have any pictures of them in uniform. I’ve only ever actually seen one photo of my father in… Read More »
If you have been following me for a the last few months, you know that I’ve been stash diving lately! In an effort to use up some very old patterned paper and release myself from the guilt of having that pile on a shelf that I’ve never used in years, I started a traveler’s notebook. I really wasn’t… Read More »
I have been using my patterned paper stash like there is no tomorrow. I probably shouldn’t word it that way given that it is still 2020! I actually took yesterday off from all creative endeavors. I was honestly exhausted from participating in a 3 day virtual crop event. I create 10 scrapbook layouts, participated in 5 Zoom sessions… Read More »

Today’s layout prompt was a favorite old movie and the technique prompt was to use the movie poster as inspiration. The very first movie that I ever remember seeing in the movie theater was Swiss Family Robinson. I remember that my grandmother and two of my uncles were there with my mom, me and my sister. I remember… Read More »
