I have a quick share today! I just received the April Not 2 Shabby Shop subscription kit. As soon as I opened it, I just had to play with it! Isn’t that small blue gingham check fabulous with the strawberries? This month there were 3 stamp sets included in the kit. One of the stamp sets is always… Read More »

The theme for the new Scrapping 4 Fun Challenge is Anything Goes Christmas/Winter. The sponsor for this challenge is Dies R Us. I created a Christmas layout featuring the decorations I put up this year. I kept them fairly minimal because storage space is a premium here and I don’t want to have every space stuffed with… Read More »
Participating in a month long layout a day challenge is really quite a challenge! I’m enjoying it immensely and I am loving all the scrapbooking that I’ve been doing. I don’t think I’ll ever give up stamping and cardmaking, but I am finding that right now, I’m really loving the scrapbooking. Scrapbooking was how I got involved in… Read More »
The October Main Scrapbook kit that I purchased from the Hip Kit Club this month has been a blast to play with! I’ve already created 3 layouts and I’m going to create another one today. I’m so happy with the variety of papers, chipboards, thickers, and die cuts that I got in this kit. I love that they… Read More »
Or craft with complete strangers! I signed up for a couple of Altenew’s Virtual Workshops just for the fun of actually interacting with someone other than my husband. We’ve been blissfully married for 35 years, but sometimes I like to spend some time with other crafty peeps. Just hearing other crafters chatter while you create a card feels… Read More »
Do you love free things? I love free things. Last weekend, Whimsy Stamps had a Virtual Stamping Weekend on Facebook because they had to cancel their actual live event that was scheduled due to a pandemic. It was a lovely weekend with lots of videos, live videos and chats, lots of games and contests, challenges, and freebies! Keep… Read More »

Another fabulous card kit with some new products that I had not planned to try showed up on my doorstep. What’s a person to do? I had to play with the kit and the new Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks. I had not planned on purchasing them because I already have a hearty collection of alcohol inks and… Read More »
My Monthly Hero is a card kit from Hero Arts. I have Hero Arts stamps that are at least as old as my children. My daughter is 26. I’ve been a Hero Arts fan for a long time. One of the nice things about them was that you could purchase them in your local craft stores. Remember that… Read More »
I’ve made no secret about the fact that I really like to experiment with my craft goodies. I love trying new techniques and seeing what I can do with them. I’ve taken a lot of classes over the last year and they have been a great launching point for me to really try some things on my own.… Read More »
Here is a truth about me: I’m a craft kit junkie. There. I said it. I’m a sucker for a good bundle too. Include a freebie or free shipping and I’m all yours. But in my defense, I find that card kits and bundles have introduced me to new crafty products and tools I might not have tried… Read More »
