I have had this journal kit from 7 Gypsies in my stash for 20 years!!!
I finally put it together.
Then I filled it with the most amazing bits and pieces from 7 Gypsies that I have been hoarding and loving for so long. I am so happy that I finally made it and used my items.
This made the most beautiful journal with lots of room still for photos and journaling. I do hope you like it as much as I do, and I hope it inspires you to make something from your stash that you have been saving for just that right project.
I've learned a big lesson...USE YOUR STUFF!!!

THIS WAS SUCH A FUN PROJECT! I had scraps in the grab bag that I was wanting to make an album with, but how? I sat and came up with this fun idea.
I used what I had and made a sort of pyramid album with the pieces of papers that I had, and incorporated the die cuts as photo opportunities and pages.
I made 4 pages and used scraps to add pockets to hold the variety of cutaparts that I had. The Heart die cuts will make great photo and journaling spots.
All of the pages have pockets that hold the gatefold sides closed.
Here is the album "opened" so you can see, it's loaded with space and it is so pretty! Please come and see all of the fun in this one.
There is a lot of information in the videos description box,

Hi all! I was asked for a tutorial on how I made my recipe box, so I'm here to share it. The TWIST is that I made the box the same BUT used a partial card kit I got in a grab bag, and transformed it into a cute BABY ALBUM!! I wanted to show how versatile this little box can be.
All measurements are in the video, since there aren't many. I will go over everything in how to make this, including altering the paper in a Simple Stories Card Kit to cover this. It is so fun and a great way to repurpose your stash. This is a great stash buster, and fun to make.
Videos I mention in this video:
Craft Warehouse Grab Bag Share This is where I got the partial card kit, and several other items.
Grab Bag Projects This features a new way to make the cards into a bigger size and I made two Never Ending Albums, all using card kits.
Recipe Box Walk Through/Talk Through This is the recipe box that I shared first and what inspired this tutorial.
Thank you so much for watching, and remember to always stay crafty, my friends!

I'm excited to share what I made and what I plan on using next month. I didn't make my goals, and some things were added, but that's OK! Things and plans change, but I will endeavor to persevere and work on it next month!
I have a bunch of links that I mention in the video. Also, remember that this year we are using the playlist for this group so that you have "one stop shopping" for all of our #paperstashsmash videos. This makes it super convenient to see all of the videos and have them all in one place!
Thanks for watching, and remember to stay crafty my friends!!!

I’m using papers from Echo Park, Little Lumberjack, and this turned out sooooo cute! It only took 2 sheets of patterned parts and the rest of the interactions are from scraps.

Hello, and welcome to my channel. Today's tutorial was inspired by some mini's I have done with the inspiration of Tiffany of Let's Get Scrappy. Today I have a new size and an idea for a folio inside the mini. I used scraps from my #paperstashsmash papers, and also scraps from Echo Parks Little Lumber Jack for the other. These are too cute and feature MINI POLAROIDS!!! I can't stand all of the cuteness in one place! :)
Her original tutorial is here, https://youtu.be/ddJWnyaaAaY?si=UGvWkvlATrBRD9sw
I made some using her tutorial for my Christmas Craft Fair, and that share video is here, https://youtu.be/uvU8pmO_5tg
All of the measurements are in the video, so get a pen and paper. It's really easy and fun and makes adorable gifts.
Stay crafty and I will see you soon!

Can you believe that it is already 2026? I can't, but I'm ready for it. Last year was quite challenging and I am so hoping that 2026 brings a better time for my family, my work and just life in general.
I have been neglectful of my blog...and I am sorry. I know that a lot of you follow me on YouTube and Instagram, even on Pinterest...but I know some do rely on the blog as well.
My goals (I refuse to say resolutions, HAHA) for myself include a lot of things, but one of them is to revamp and upgrade this blog. I want it to be amazing for you all, and a place you can come for lots of information and fun crafty things. So, that being said, I will endeavor to redo my blog, update it and keep it current. Please wish me luck with this!
I have a couple of videos out so far in January. Please come and check them out.
First up, I have been a part of Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Crop event. This is so much fun and it is FREE! Click on the video and see the Groovy layout that I created for this retro themed crop. In the video's description you will find links to all of the free tutorials that the designers did. I loved it so much and had a blast ringing in the new year with the retro designs and paper selections.
Next, I did the #paperstashsmash video, recapping December, sharing my plans for January, and also sharing news and updates the 2026 #paperstashsmash! I love being a part of this group. The creators are amazing and the ideas are endless! In this video's description I have links to all of the creators channels, and also have links for our playlists (2025 and 2026) so you won't miss a thing.
Finally, today I posted this new version of my Book of Boxes series I have been doing with Dollar Tree Jewelry Gift Boxes. They are fun to work with and you can make so many different gift boxes with them. I have four versions in this series, and the information and links are in the video's description,
Thank you so much for hanging in with me and supporting my creative effort!
You are all amazing and I couldn't do it without you!
