HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 Oh my!  Can you believe it's 2025?  I can't.  Time is flying by and the holidays were a blur.  Between work, being sick, the holidays, and prepping/participating in a Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Hop...all of the sudden its January!  WOW!  I hope you all have had a great holiday and are renewed and refreshed for the new year and all of the fabulous things to come.

I am going to link a lot of things for you today.  Yes, I'm doing another catch up post.  I am hoping this will be the only one I do this year!  

First, I would like to share the latest Country Craft Creations New Years Eve Crop that we did.  

There were so many fabulous projects, I had so much fun with them.  I am still working on the projects and will share them as I complete them.  I have a full play list for this event and you can find it here.  

I have done some other videos...here they are...


This alubum is so cute and it really used up a lot of scraps from the paper collection I have been using up all year in my #craftygoals2024 card making project.  I love what Debbie of Project39 Mini Albums did with it.  


It is that time of the year...What kind of planner set up did you come up with?  I found my dream planner with Magic Witch Souvenirs printables.  She is on Etsy, and the printables are FABULOUS!


And who doesn't love a quick and fun one page wonder?  Check out what I made with Crafty by Toni's Inspiration


And, as you all know, I love me a good repurposing...So I decided to repurpose a calendar into a new notebook and try out my new We R Makers stack cutter.  That cutter is amazing!!!  


I did the last of the 2024 #craftygoals2024 videos recapping December...and introduced a new collaboration, which is really a morphing of the old one.  Welcome to the Paper Stash Smash Collaboration!  You have to check this one out.  It is an awesome concept and I am so excited to be a part of it.


Finally, this is my latest design team tutorial for Country Craft Creations.  I made this folio project that will be a year round joy for years to come.  I used the Graphic 45 collection "Season to Celebrate" and it turned out just amazing.  There are a ton of links in the video description and also a link to a cut guide to assist you with your project.  I do hope you enjoy it!

That's  the catch up.  Thanks for reading and watching, and I am excited to see what 2025 brings to all of us.  

Stay happy, stay healthy and stay crafty.

I'VE BEEN BUSY!!

I'm so sorry, I have another catch up video.  I don't know where the time goes!  I have been so busy with design team projects and with craft fairs, and with work...I just don't have enough time in the day!

Here's the latest videos I have done.  I have a #craftygoals2024 video for May, two recipe projects, a video on what I did with the button dangles I have recently been obsessed with, and two shares of a design team package and a Virtual Retreat Package!

I hope you enjoy the videos and forgive me for being "late" for posting them.  

Stay crafty, my friends!

OOPS, I did it again...Let's Play Catch Up!

Hi all and welcome!

I have been pretty busy and realized I forgot to post these on my blog, so I'm doing a catch up.  If you haven't seen these on my YouTube Channel, I have done some great projects and I can't wait to share them with you.  


This one is using my leftovers from my design team package from Country Craft Creations.  I made goodies for my flip book!


This video shares some notebooks I have been making in preparation of a craft fair I am doing in May.  Notebooks!  


Here's an idea I had, making a removable cover for a mini composition notebook.  It is AWESOME!!!  


April 1st I did my #craftygoals2024 video...you have to see what I did.  I shared several things that I made, and not all of them are made of paper!


Today I shared the prototype project I made when working out the design for my Explosion Box with a Base tutorial...this was for the design team (Country Craft Creations).  

I am sorry I didn't publish these here before, but better late than never, right?  

Thanks so much, and stay crafty, my friends!!!

Horizontal Never Ending Mini Album Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

I thought I'd post this for a fun Friday night project. This is perfect for a quick project, quick gift, and also for a craft fair quickie project that will use up your scraps.  


This is a variation of my never ending album, and I quite like how it turned out. I used scraps of past design team packages, Simple Stories Boho Baby and our very own Country Craft Creations Bon Voyage! I hope you enjoy this fun project!!

Bon Voyage can be found here, https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/#cd9f/fullscreen/m=and&q=voyage
