Alter a Dollar Tree Perpetual Calendar

 This is soooooo cute!  You have to see what I did with Dollar Tree perpetual calendars...They are so adorable!

I used Echo Park paper I had in my stash, and some other odds and ends. I think you'll like them...Inexpensive to buy and uses up stash items!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Catching up...AGAIN!

 Hi all, I have had some whirl wind time here in my neck of the woods.  I am, again, catching up on my blog posts.  I am so sorry for being delinquent in my posting.  I have sooooo many irons in the fire...I'm hoping after this post I will be back to being more regular with my posting.  

I went to a Country Craft Creations Retreat in Utah, and man-oh-man was that a blast.  If you haven't been to one and are interested, check out this link for information.  You will love it.  It is way above and beyond any kind of scrapbooking event I have ever been to. There are also VIRTUAL retreats you can do...It's so much fun!  

I am busy working on my next design team projects...I have an envelope album, a new (to me, and it is soooooo cool) binding for a mini album, a desk organizer book and a note holder in the works.  If you haven't seen the papers I am using...here is the video share.

Below is a video where I showcased several smaller projects I made using tutorials from other great crafters in the YouTube Universe.  I have links to their tutorials in the video description.

And some more projects in this video, again, the links to the other crafters tutorials are in the video description.

This was a fun one!  I did a Dollar Store Craft and made this amazing junk journal...You have to see what I did to make this fun Halloween Journal!  Check out the video below.

Below is my offering for week #11 of #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022.  Check out this Double Vertical Stepper Card!

Last, but not least, just today I added a very short video to share what this Tag and Envelope Flip Album turned out to be...It was super fun and I used a ton of scraps!

Thanks for all of your support and your patience with me as I do my catch up's.  I will be better...I just had so many things going on.  I appreciate all of my followers and hope that my crafts make you happy.

Stay Crafty, My Friends!

Word Block Decor Project, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 Good morning!  I have a quick project to share while I’m finishing up another one. It’s another “dollar store” project, and it’s quick, easy and fun!  (And it’s a scrap buster!)

Please visit Country Craft Creations for your supplies and I’ll see you soon with another project!

Hi and welcome back to the blog. Today I have a fun project that includes repurposing some Dollar Store boxes and a mini album. I have a video tutorial showing the whole process.

I'm using the exclusive paper collection "The Music Box" from Country Craft Creations. Its a very beautiful paper collection and I loved making this project with it. I will have a full list of supplies and links to them so you can check them out and/or purchase them from Country Craft Creations.

During the video I will go step by step to tell you how I made the project. Because I am using a premade box, and because your box may differ in size, I am not going to give a cutting list for the cardstock or patterned paper for it. I will, however, list the papers used for the mini album that I put inside the album. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the project! SUPPLIES USED: Dollar Store Boxes. Mine had outer dimensions of 6 3/4 x 4 3/4 with sides 1 3/4" tall Chipboard, 1 - 12 x 12 Measurements to cut will depend on the size of your box Brown Artisan Cardstock, approximately 8 sheets of 12 x 12 total Silver Mirror Cardstock Patterned Paper: The Music Box, I used an 8x8 pack, and used approximately 18 sheets.

Fall crafting!

 I made a cute fall project using Dollar Store items.  I found two plain wood truck signs ready to paint, and painted them.  I put a crate in-between the trucks to hold the cute scarecrows and the sunflowers.  It was so easy to make and fun to do.  I don't have a lot of fall decorations, but for less than $10 (the sunflowers were actually on sale from Michael's) I have this cute decoration!  I love the whole truck decor idea, and if you can see in the background of the first picture, on my mantle I made one from a Silhouette file I bought.  I usually decorate it for the seasons, but haven't broke out what fall things I have.  

What are you going to do to decorate for fall?

Stay crafty, my friends!
