It's been a minute...

 I have been busy creating and for some reason I have neglected my blog.  I have a wrap up post for you today.  I have done a bunch of videos and I wanted to make sure that you see them if you want.

So, here it goes.  Here is a list of the videos  I have done lately.  I hope you enjoy them.

First, I did a bunch more junk journaling items and even an album.

I was also fortunate to receive two more items that are amazing, 3D printed organizers for your craft room.  They come from One Stop Apothecary Shop and they are amazing!

I also shared what I made for #christmasinjulypss  These projects turned out amazing!

My video on my July Makes and August Picks for #paperstashsmash is below.

And then we are doing a #halloweeninaugustpss project...I love this paper!

And to wrap it all up, for Country Craft Creations, I created, or should I say recreated, a project I made last year, and it is so cool how the paper can really change the project.  Come see what I did!

I know this is a lot and I am very sorry for the delay.  I do hope you check out these fun items and tutorials.  Lots of information is in the video descriptions so please check them out.

Have fun and stay crafty!

I made a fun 7 Gypsies Junk Journal!!!

I have had this journal kit from 7 Gypsies in my stash for 20 years!!!

I finally put it together.

Then I filled it with the most amazing bits and pieces from 7 Gypsies that I have been hoarding and loving for so long.  I am so happy that I finally made it and used my items.

This made the most beautiful journal with lots of room still for photos and journaling.  I do hope you like it as much as I do, and I hope it inspires you to make something from your stash that you have been saving for just that right project.  

I've learned a big lesson...USE YOUR STUFF!!!

ALBUM REMAKE with a FREE TUTORIAL!

 This is a fun one!  I remade an album I designed in January of 2025 for Country Craft Creations and used more of the Fresh Picked Collection to do it with.  It really turned out amazing and I think you will like it.

In the video description are the links for everything I used in this album and the links for the FREE TUTORIAL for it.  It's so much fun to remake albums in different papers, it gives it a totally different look!

Have fun and stay crafty!

My Travel Album is complete and the FREE tutorials are available!!!

Oh my goodness, this paper collection is so much fun and it goes perfectly in this project.

Part one of the tutorial series will go over how to cover the Graphic 45 Travel Album Cover and some options I came up with for it.  I think the paper collection "Fresh Picked" by Country Craft Creations is just perfect with this!

Part 2 is live now and will go over what I did with the inserts...they are NOT your average inserts.  I tried to come up with several different ways to enhance and expand the inserts, making them even more functional in your Travel Album.

I do hope that you go check these out!

I have all of the links to the products I received in my design team package are in the video description boxes.

Have fun and stay crafty!
