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 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 »

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.

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 »

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 »
