October's #craftygoals Video is Live!

 I have been reflecting and decided to try a new way of thinking about my goals.  Come and check out how I am going to try to go from brain storming to a more structured way of thinking about my lists of things to do in my craft room.  

I appreciate your watching.  Please check out the other ladies involved in this crafty adventure.

Bon Voyage Mini Travel Journal Tutorial!

 This is so fun and so quick and just full of possibilities!  Come check out my latest tutorial for Country Craft Creations!  This is a great companion piece to go with my Suitcase Tutorial I just posted recently.

Then, in case you missed it, I also posted a video for #craftygoals2023.  I went over some amazing projects that I did over the past month...and there's a mini tutorial in the video on how I transformed a Happy Planner!  

Thanks so much for watching and I hope y'all have a crafty day!

Weekly Roundup for January 30th through February 3rd, 2023

 I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to update this blog, but here's what I've posted and I hope you do stop by and check these videos out.  I have been super busy this week!

First of all, I did this unboxing video for a Your Creative Studio subscription box called "Bake".  I used it in my recipe junk journal that I recently shared and I love the items that were included in the box!

This is a design team project for Country Craft Creations using their exclusive paper collection "Schoolhouse Memories".  I made a great keepsake box using my We are Memory Keepers Explosion Scoreboard, and made a folio using the 4 x 6 Folio kit from 49 and Market that I bought from Country Craft Creations.  You have to check this out!

I also posted a followup for the #craftygoals2023 collaboration that I'm involved in.  In the video I talked about how it went for me in January and a few of my February goals. 

Also for the Country Craft Creations design team, I created the 5th project using Heartfelt Creations "Friendship Rose" collection.  I combined a Dollar Tree heart wall hanging with a few leftover bits to create this lovely wall decor piece.

Finally, I used those amazing and wonderful Target doilies to create this fun album with a "Polaroid" theme inside...you have to see how quick and easy this project was to make!

Thanks so much for all of your support and for watching the videos.  I'll be back soon with other projects and other tutorials.  Until then, stay crafty, my friends!!

New Year, New Plan, #CraftyGoals2023

 Hi, and welcome to the #Craftygoals2023 collaboration! This is a new adventure I'm starting with a group of crafty women here on YouTube and in Instagram. We are going to share with you how we are making our crafty goals come to life through the year. There will be different topics along the way, and follow-ups to share how we did, what works and what didn't for us, and maybe some hints and tips that will help you.

We are posting on the 1st of every month throughout the year. Please check out the links below for the crafty creators who are participating, and please like and subscribe so you can be notified of all of the posts.
