Good morning! I have a new tutorial for you. I decided to list all of my videos for this paper collection so that you can see all of the fun things I have done with it.
These are design team projects for Country Craft Creations, and I'm using the gorgeous collection by Graphic 45 called "Season to Celebrate". I hope you like them!
The first one is my latest project I just shared today. I used leftover paper and scraps to make these stunning tags that you can use on their own or add to the previous project I just made.
Below is the first project I made and it is a big one, and sooooooo wonderful. It is a yearly folio project with a box to store the folios. You can add your memories throughout the year!
The video below is a full walk through of the folio and box project I made.
I also put this link to the design team package haul video I did, just in case you want to see that too.
I have a list of the supplies I used. Please check out Country Craft Creations and get all of your supplies for this and more!

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.
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.
OHHHHH, you have to check this out. This is what I made with leftovers from my first design team project using this gorgeous collection by Echo Park. Chilling with my Snowmies is SOOO DARN CUTE! I just can't stand it. This is a great project, a quick 6 x 6 board book with lots of fun little ways to use up your scraps! There is a lot of links and info in the the video description, so please check that out!
It's been so busy I don't know whether I'm coming or going...but here are my latest videos for you!
This first one is my latest design team project for Country Craft Creations. I love how this turned out. It has so many cool elements that you won't believe!
I posted my December Crafty Goals video. It is loaded, I mean LOADED with projects I have made. There are links to the inspiration/tutorials in the video's description so you want to check that out!
And, I have this tutorial for two styles of gift cards available.
SO MUCH CRAFTING TO DO! I hope you enjoy the videos. Stay crafty, my friends!

Hi all and welcome back! I have a project that has taken a while to do but so worth it. I created a recipe album with Carta Bella's "Roll With It" collection and you are going to love it. I made it big and it is full of pockets so that you can add memories, pictures, recipes...it will be a keepsake for your family for many many years to come.
This album is 7 3/4 x 8 1/2, has a 3 1/2" spine, and has 6 pages total. There is plenty of room to add many photos and recipes. In the video's description box I will have a list of videos I mention in the tutorial, a cut guide for chipboard and cardstock (the measurements for the patterned papers will be discussed in the tutorial), and links to products that I used for the project. Thanks so much for watching!!! If you have any questions please let me know because I am always available to help if you needed it.
I have a new tutorial on my YouTube channel that I think you’re going to love. This is a great box that will not only hold.4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Greeting cards, but it is big enough to be a great gift box to hold all sorts of items.
This is a Country Craft Creations design team project using Photo Play’s Holly and Ivy collection. I had scraps left over that I wanted to use, and came up with some fun ways to use them as well as the leftover cutter parts.
I hope you enjoy it. Please read the video description for information and a coupon code for shopping at Country Craft Creations!
I have a tutorial for you, in two parts, that you will LOVE! Christmas is coming, Santa Claus is on his way, and we need to be ready for all of the fun!!!
Part 1 will go over the covers, pages and the pull tab reverse waterfalls. Part 2 will go over the patterned papers and the decorations, along with some hints and tips. Both will have walk throughs for you.
There is a ton of information, including a cut guide, in the video descriptions, so please check them out.
And just in case you missed the haul video, you can see it here.
I'll list the items I received below with links. Run to the store and get your items !

Welcome! Today I have a fun project for you! I redid a previous tutorial I made back in 2023 with these Christmas papers I received in Country Craft Creations Mystery Boxes. I have wanted to do this for a very long time.
The papers I used this time are from Simple Stories, Hearth and Holiday from 2022. I love them! I also decided to add a few fun things to the original design I did with Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Berry Fields Papers.
I added a pocket and a gatefold insert...
a pull tab reverse waterfall...
and an additional pocket on the inside front cover.
