I have been MIA...But here's a catch up post!

 I am so very sorry.  I don't know why I haven't been here in so long.  Are you all still with me???  I hope you are...I have been busy, both in the crafty room and out of the crafty room...I just don't know about me sometimes... 😜

Today I thought I would just add the links to the videos I have done.  I hope that you follow me on YouTube and Instagram (links are below) so that you have already seen them. But just in case you haven't, here's what I have been up to lately.

First up, are my projects I made in August with papers I received from Country Craft Creations.  These are my design team projects, and I made a bunch of them!  I started with a desk organizer, made cards with a folio to hold them, and finally a mini album.

I also made this cute folio with the Lil Cowgirl paper collection, exclusively at Country Craft Creations.

This Loaded Tag Tutorial is part of my #paperstashsmash project and it is fun and easy and uses up all of those scraps!

Then I did this video...I thought I was done with trying new crafts, NOPE!  This is fun and easy and relaxing, and I have decided I really like to do it!  Have you tried Diamond Dot Painting?

Finally, just today, I have made this video sharing the unboxing of my newest Ieebee goodies, and I share the amazing things I made with them.  It's amazing what you can do with a bit of washi tape and wax!  

All of the videos have links in the descriptions, guides, etc.  Please check them out and have some fun with your crafting!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Country Craft Creations Design Team Project, Using Carta Bella's "On the Farm". Let's make a Tag Shaped Album with Tag Shaped Features!!!

This one is so cool and so much fun!  This is my March Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations.  I'm using Carta Bella's "On the Farm".

I started by having an idea for a tag shaped photo album...

Then I decided to see how many ways I could incorporate tag shaped features...

There are tag booklets, tag pages, tag waterfalls, tag belly bands...

Seriously, this album is LOADED WITH TAGS!

Come and see how this is put together, it is soooooo easy!

The walk through is below...

And the tutorial is here...

I hope you like it!

In both videos there is information on ordering the supplies I used in this project.  In the tutorial video I have written a cut guide for the chipboard and for the cardstock.

Have fun, and stay crafty!

Two fun and quick tutorials for you!

Hi!!! I have two tutorials for you that I have posted in the last two days and I think you'll like them!

The first is the pen holder idea I came up with, inspired by another creator on YouTube "Medieval Mirage".  The link to the video she did that inspired me is in the video description box.  This is a fun tutorial, is extremely useful, and uses scraps.  What can be better than that??

And this tutorial is a pictorial on how I made 6 different tags for journals.  In the video I have pictures of the drawings with instructions on how to make them.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Thanks for watching and have a very crafty day!

Love Letters Configuration Tag, Card, Album Tutorial

Hello and good morning. Here is a tutorial for you that I think will be fun for you to make. I have created another configuration project for you. This can be used as a tag, a card and an album. I'll show you how to create it all, including an envelope to put it in!

This is my design team project for Country Craft Creations. I'm using "Love Letters", although I also did examples with "Love is in the Air" and "Here Comes the Bride". It's had to say how much paper you will need, as I used scraps for the single tags, and only one sheet of cardstock for the tag and one for the envelope. For the album I used about 8 sheets of patterned paper, and 4 sheets of Kraft Artisan cardstock for the base album. I also used My Colors cardstock, 2 sheets of Frosted Rose. This is a fun project and I hope you enjoy it! Tag base: 1 = 12 x 12, For an album you will need to make two of these Envelope: 1 - 12 x 12 For an album you will also need: Connector/Spine: 1 - 2 1/4 x 8 1/2 (For 1/4" spine) or 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 (For 1/2" spine) Waterfall: 1 - 3 1/8 x 10 3/4 1 - 3 1/8 x 9 3/4 1 - 3 1/8 x 8 3/4 Pocket: 1 - 6 x 3 1/2 Love Letters Artisan Cardstock, Kraft My Colors, Frosted Rose Seambinding: Pink and Beige Small Magnets

Have fun and stay crafty, my friends!
