Easter Explosion Box, FREE TUTORIAL!


This adorable project was shown to my by one of my crafty friends, Lori. She found this video by Tata Dginette and it was so adorable I had to try my take on it. The video is in French and is on Facebook. I tried to find it on YouTube with no luck, although I saw a few others that were very similar. So, I watched and tried to figure out the dimensions and here is what I came up with.

It is easy, very easy, and all measurements are in the video. I hope you like it. Please let me know if you have any questions about it. And please do check out her video. Her project is so cute! Thanks for watching, and remember to stay crafty! #explosionbox #papercraft #scrapbook #eastercrafts 🌺My social sites: Youtube Instagram Facebook Pinterest Blog 🌺This video was made with iMovie for iPhone and music used was provided by the iMovie app. Canva used for thumbnail, dividers and end screen creation.

What can you do with a grab bag? Let me show you and give you a FREE TUTORIAL!


I went to my local Craft Warehouse the other day and found a grab bag that they literally just put out.  It looked loaded so I purchased it.  It was full of all sorts of items left over from displays they had made. 

I brought it home and decided to see what I could do with it.  I came up with an altered larger version of cards from one kit and then....


I made two versions of the Never Ending Album, one of the versions is a NEW DESIGN!

Want to see the tutorial???


The video above is the unpacking of the grab bag...


And this one is what I did with two of the card kits I bought.  I made altered sized cards and two mini albums.  I hope you come and see what I did!  I would love it if you would!  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have fun and remember to stay crafty!

Today I have a fun box of goodies to share!!


Hello again! Journalsay has reached out to me and asked if I'd like to try some of their items and share with you all. Today I want to share the box of goodies I received. I was able to pick the items out, and since I'm a Halloween junkie I went for the Halloween/Gothic/Magic collections that they carry. I also got some great "tools" including scissors, binding rings and cutting mats. The images on the papers and stickers are FANTASTIC!  

I hope you enjoy all of the items I'm sharing, and if you are interested in seeing these and other items they have available go to their site. Journalsay I plan on making some projects and coming back to share them with you in the near future.

Thanks for watching, and have a crafty day!!!

It is FINISHED!

 Come and see my Country Craft Creations Design Team Project using 

49 & Market's Whispering Way!



The pages are graduated in size, mimicking my recent fascination with different size pages in an album and my Two Page Wonder idea.


Some pages have simple interactions...


Some have some older ideas, such as a slider closure and my Stacked Waterfall.


But I also have some other ideas, such as explosion pages...


and pop up elements.


The pages on the left has a new slider page idea and the one on the right has a quad pocket.


I have the full playlist below, so you can see everything from the Haul Video to the Final Walk Through after decoration.  I really hope you like it, I love love love how it came out!
