A couple of videos to share!

 

I recently made a couple of projects you have to see.  This first one is by Nicole of MadeFromScrap one YouTube and she did an amazing folio that I made twice.  You have to see how these turned out, and then check out the link in the video description to see her quick and easy tutorial.  You will love it!

This one is by Karolina of KarolinasKrafts, on Youtube.  She did a tutorial of a 4 x 4 mini album that I adore.  It came out too cute and I am just so happy with it.  I'm keeping this one for myself to use as a 2025 journal of things I want to do in this year.

Thanks for watching and stay crafty, my friends!

Explosion Scoreboard Gift Box with Attached Lid, A Tutorial!

 Hi all! This was a request by a subscriber of mine, @mgobluebo and I am so excited to be able to share this tonight. She specifically requested using the scoreboard to make a 2 x 2 box. This will work with all 7 of the box sizes/lid sizes you can make with this scoreboard. The only adjustment is that you will cut the lid cardstock 1/8" smaller, but still use the same lid line to score with. It makes for a tighter lid for this type of box.

Here is my comprehensive scoreboard video with links to printables that you can view if you would like to. What to do with your Explosion Box Score Board https://youtu.be/pGCKys5ln4s?si=Phk2an3estR7DYm-

I hope you enjoy, it is quick and easy. As always, if you have any questions please let me know. I appreciate your support. Stay crafty, my friends!

What I did with Graphic 45's "Season to Celebrate" Paper Collection!

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!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 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.  

There were so many fabulous projects, I had so much fun with them.  I am still working on the projects and will share them as I complete them.  I have a full play list for this event and you can find it here.  

I have done some other videos...here they are...

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.  

Stay happy, stay healthy and stay crafty.
