I have a NEW design team project for COUNTRY CRAFT CREATIONS!

 For the month of June I worked with Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Woodlands,    and it is FABULOUS!

This is the perfect paper for a vacation, for anything really.  The colors are amazing and the images are adorable.  The FOX is just too cute!

The album is 8 x 10, has a 2 1/2" spine and 4 loaded pages.

Here are the videos I have using this collection.  There is a lot of information in the video descriptions, including links to go get the items I used, and even a cut guide for the chipboard and cardstock I used in making the album.  

Please do watch the walk through video, as I have information not included in the tutorial.  Sometimes I find things "after the fact".

Thanks for watching, and supporting myself and Country Craft Creations!  Stay crafty, my friends!

Country Craft Creations has an amazing store, so please visit the store .  We have an amazing Facebook Community as well, so please check it out as well.

It's been a minute...

 I'm so sorry.  I am trying so hard to keep up on everything and lately it seems like my brain is scattered in 12 different directions and I don't know what I've done, or what I'm doing.  I need to do an update, so here it goes.  Thanks for your patience and sticking with me.  I'm sure you all have already seen these things...I know blogs are kinda the last thing people look at these days...but I do want to keep this going.  I hope you do too.

I'll list several videos that I have done...I do hope if you haven't seen them that you have some time check them out.

For these videos I will share some extra fun projects that I have done with my craft room and for the #paperstashsmash collaboration I am in.  I made a ton of fun things and got involved in a fun project making cards for Veterans.  

Tomorrow I'll do a round up of the projects I have done for the Country Craft Creations design team I'm on.  I do hope you stop by and check them out.  

Thanks for watching, and I will see you soon.  Stay crafty, my friends!

A bit of an update...

 I'm sorry, things have been busy...

I have a new design team package and did a video haul, you can see it here.

I am using an amazing collection, Photo Play's "Travel Junque" and it is fantastic.  It's perfect for any vacation adventures you want to document.

In the package I also received the new Country Craft Creations Card Fronts featuring the Country Bunny collection and it is so very sweet!

I made a Do-Si-Do notebook/journal with it, and have a tutorial that is quick and easy...another way to use the card fronts!

Have you seen the NEW Country Craft Creations Card Fronts??? I received the Country Bunny Card Fronts in my latest design team package and I thought of a different way to use them today. I really hope you like it. It doesn't take a lot of cardstock, I did use 4 card fronts to make two notebooks, and I added some Country Bunny Paper, a Country Craft Creations exclusive paper, to add some pockets. I used the pamphlet stitch in this project and will show you how to do that. All measurements are in the video as there really aren't many. Have fun!

Origami Tag Wallet and More!

I have a tutorial for a fun origami tag wallet and more items using what’s left of my Country Craft Creations design team package using Coco Paradise by Photo Play. This is a fun and easy project. All of the measurements will be in the tutorial. I promise it’s really easy! The origami wallet has several different different things that you can do with it to vary it if you choose.
