This album is SO AMAZING! These exclusive papers are so incredible that I created a book that totally keeps all of the paper images intact and gives room for photos to create an incredible family heirloom!
Because of the nature of this unique tutorial, I have created a guide to be a companion to the tutorial. It can be found at this link. I don't normally do a guide like this, but for this album, I thought it would be better and would assist in the tutorial. I want your project to come out perfectly!
Here are links to the products from Country Craft Creations:
Twas the Night, please note that I used the 8 x 8 paper pack
Artisan Cardstock: I used Brown for the base color and two sheets of Olive, but Kraft, Natural, and Black would also work.Gold Mirror PaperHeartfelt Creations Small Festive Poinsettia Die.

I created these fun notebooks for every month using the gorgeous paper collection "Remember the Time" from Country Craft Creations. This is a quick tutorial and fun to do, and will show you how to do the pamphlet stitch if you aren't familiar with it.
I made some more junk journals and wanted to share.
I had inspiration from Cori Dahmen who did a great tutorial on a hidden binding, and I had to try it. That video is here.
I also used a lot of goodness from a collection from Your Creative Studio. That site is here.
I did two books in this tutorial, one is from policy envelopes and one is made from a mini composition book. I hand dyed my papers with coffee, and the tutorial I used for that is here.
I found these half sized composition books at my local Office Depot and they are so much fun to alter. Come check out what I did using leftovers from my Echo Park "Fall Fever" paper collection!
Here is Part 2 of this fun tutorial. I will share the binding and the way I decorated and used my patterned paper. The papers, "Fall Breeze", are exclusive to Country Craft Creations, and can be found here.
In case you missed Part 1 of this tutorial, you can click on it below to be taken to the video.
Come check this out! Seriously, this is pretty cool. I found a tutorial on a straw binding for a mini album. It was so intriguing that I had to try it. I did tweak the construction, and it turned out amazing. If you want to see what gave me the inspiration, the original tutorial it is here.
I'm using the paper collection "Fall Breeze" by Country Craft Creations for this project. This paper collection is amazing!
I have to do another catch up post because I just flat didn't do a blog post. I'm so sorry! It's been busy, but here we are and it's
HALLOWEEN!
So Trick or Treat and here's what I've been up to.
First up, I did a design team project for Country Craft Creations. This is a great explosion gift box using the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Scoreboard. The papers are from Echo Park and are called "Fall Fever". The papers and the scoreboard are both available at Country Craft Creations.
I also used the papers to make this fun flip album using envelopes. This turned out so cool!
I received another amazing box from Amanda at Your Creative Studio. This one is vintage camera and it is AMAZING! This is the unboxing, and the new junk journal tutorial is coming soon!
I had this project waiting in the wings for a while. It's a great way to use scraps...I made this cute Meander book and scraps from previous design team packages.
These projects are shares of some amazing little tutorials from other great creators out there. There are two new little projects, and links to the other creators are in the video descriptions.
I also did a recap of the projects I made for #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022. These cards look so amazing on my haunted desk.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you soon with other projects.
I was given a box of beautiful goodies, “Flowers”, from Amanda at Your Creative Studio, https://ycvstudio.com/ and I made the absolutely cutest little project.
Have you heard of the nano sized traveler’s notebooks? Neither had I but I discovered it and decided to make one. I love this little pocket sized notebook. Come check it out!
I just posted a tutorial for you that I think you will like. It's quick and easy and will help you keep organized, and who doesn't like that?
I love paper and organizers and notepads, this project is perfect. I was "challenged" in a way by my friend Cheryl to help figure out a tutorial by another amazing crafter, Mrs. Brightside, on YouTube. Not only did I figure it out, but I also did it in two other sizes!
This project goes together very easy. I show how to make the one 5x8 size book in the tutorial. Because I did it in three sizes, rather than try to type out all of the measurements in the description, I did a chart, so you can just it to make any of the three sizes. Click the link below to get the Google Doc.
In the tutorial I am just making the base o the notebook. In the examples I share, I'm using my design team package from Country Craft Creations! The Echo Park Winter Collection is an older collection that I had leftovers from. The Halloween paper is from my stash and is very old (I had it out for all of the #sandys13frightsbeforehalloweenprojects I have been doing).

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.
I have been sick and trying to catch up on what I need to do. I have so much going on! There is the design team, the #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022, I'm doing a retreat in a week and the October Craftology kit for Country Craft Creations! PHEW!
I'm including a couple of videos in this post...I hope you don't mind!
I have my new September Design Team Package from Country Craft Creations. I received Echo Parks "Fall Fever" and Country Craft Creations "Fall Breeze". They are spectacular, and the colors...OH MY! Come check out the goodies I received!
Yesterday was the 9th week of #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022, and I made a Corner Folded Open Gate Card...this is fantastic! The tutorial is here...
I also shared a quick Magic Movie of my tag and envelope flip album. This is actually the second one I made, I will be sharing the first soon, but I had to share because this one used the scraps from my last Design Team Package using Carta Bella's Hocus Pocus paper collection. Check out this quick share!
I think that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a spooktacular day!
It's week #8! Can you believe it??? We are having so much fun with #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022 and I have yet another card for you that I have seen and wanted to try out. I have had a lot of comments that people haven't seen the cards that I am showing, so I'm glad I am bringing them out to you.
This card has been around for a while, there are many tutorials. I'm not sure where it originated. For this tutorial I'm using "Oct 31" by Fancy Pants, and "Spooks" by SEI. I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thanks for coming by!

Hi all, and welcome back to my Haunted Craft Room!
Today I have tutorial #3 using Carta Bella's "Hocus Pocus" paper collection. This is a design team project for Country Craft Creations, https://countrycraftcreations.com. I made this fun folio that features a tuck tab closure and three ways to use your Sizzix Essential Mini Album Die set by Lori Whitlock https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/products/sizzix-thinlits-dies
I hope you enjoy this tutorial. From the scraps I have leftover I have another surprise...but you have to wait until my next video!
Below are the cutting guides and the links for the products I used. I used some cardstock that coordinates with the paper collection for the album die pages, and the patterned paper as well. The cardstock listed below is Artisan Cardstock from Country Craft Creations, https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/collections/artisan-cardstock. I used light weight chipboard for the cover, https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/products/chipboard-light-weight-12x12-sheet.
The paper collection, Hocus Pocus by Carta Bella is here, https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/products/chipboard-light-weight-12x12-sheet#/cd9f1be9-5b7d-494c-9001-d53b43632e20/fullscreen/autofilters=true&filter[brand][]=Carta+Bella&page=1&query=hocus+pocus&query_name=match_and&rpp=20

Hello, everyone, and welcome! This is week #7 of the #sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022 collaboration and I am having so much fun bringing you all of the fun cards. Today we have a card that I first saw on Instagram, but there wasn't a real tutorial, so I did some searching...I found a tutorial and inspiration on YouTube by Sam Calcott. She has a tutorial here. https://youtu.be/CCR4t6GB7jQ
I love this card, and the wow factor is amazing. I already have some ideas on altering this design! I'm using papers by Echo Park called "Bewitched", from 2018, and "Bewitching Hour" by Country Craft Creations, from 2021.

This is a design team project for Country Craft Creations using Carta Bella's "Hocus Pocus" paper collection. Today I have made a cute candy bowl. This is PERFECT for using for your Halloween Candy and would make a great container for a fun gift for that someone spooktacularly special!
I did use the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Score Board to make this in the video, but I also show you how to make it with a regular score board as well.
In the video description I have all of the information for the cutting and the supplies with links to the products.
Hello, my crafty and spooky friends...welcome back to
#sandys13frightsbeforehalloween2022
!!!
I have a great treat today. I resurrected an old old old tutorial I did on this blog back in May of 2011! I created this card design for a swap I was in. I did a tutorial on the blog but never did a video...well here it is!! I can't wait for you to see it!
If you are interested in viewing the original blog post it's here...
I hope you enjoy the tutorial and my recreation of this amazing fold that makes a fantastic card and/or gift card holder. It can be used for so many occasions! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fangtastic day!
This is a fun one! A lenticular picture has an image when you look at it one way, and a different one when you look at it the other way. It’s fun and easy!
I’m using “Bewitching Hour” from Country Craft Creations, http://countrycraftcreations.com! Check it out and let me know what you think. Have a great and spooky day, my friends!
