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 »
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 »
Last week I shared a card that I created with an underwater scene created by Patricia Alvarez from Kinda Cute by Patricia. I added one of her pelican digital images to the top and created a twist on her underwater scene. Today, I have a Hills and Lake background that Patricia just created and I added her Elf… Read More »
The digital image that I played with this week for the Scrapping 4 Fun Challenge is a really fun image! I had so many ideas for how I might use this as a Thanksgiving decoration that I actually printed it in several sizes. I finally decided on the one I would share when I was looking through my… Read More »
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 bet there are a few thousand pictures of people holding fish or fishing rods in my house. My husband’s YouTube channel and his… Read More »
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. 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 »
Just a quick share today! I am on day #16 of the Layout a Day challenge and so far, I’m keeping up! I’m also using the fall gratitude journal that I created in August. Needless to say, all the pages are decorated with a fall theme no matter what the story prompt and the technique prompt is, but… Read More »
Have you tried digital images or digital products yet? I’ve become a huge fan of digital images. I know that I’ve said this many times, but they require no physical storage space, they can be resized to fit the needs of your project, and they are inexpensive! I’m now learning how to do all kinds of things with… 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 »
