TIP 1/3 - I just folded back my strip piece - then cut along. I do recommend first makers of this class to modeling after the class project would be best ;)

New flap closure idea! 💡 Challenge almost complete!

Cardstock is here and ready to go. All I need to do is stick to my painting schedule and get this new baby boy Paper collection out to you all! 🤩📦

I'm being sneaky and peeky 😆 Who's ready to start creating fun & simple layouts to go in a nice big book!?

some old skool games!

This past Thursday we visited the original Michael's where I bought my first ever Fiskars paper trimmer. Not if you know the story of how I purchased my first set of tools and how I got started on this crafty life journey. I actually made a whole podcast episode about it. You can watch it here. It was amazing to see the store after so many years and revisit the connection I had to it. The paper trimmer I use in every tutorial has been the same for 11 years now. He's my favorite!

Coming up early next week I'll have layouts 6 and seven posted and ready to watch. I'm having a blast with this series and I'm excited to see your take on these designs! Soon to complete all 9... then comes the best part... sticking them into our nice big book! Share below your progress! ⬇️

Over this summer we hiked in one of our favorite places in Central California. The Pinnacles. We had a blast and... I had to take my oppurtnity with these social friends! He took my whole 🍌 banana at the end!! 🤣
