✨Note about the Notepad Holder Class!✔️

Everyone’s style is going to be different but I thought I’d share this. If you don’t mind having that base cardstock pocket construction being in 1/8” in and matted onto your cover base—then this method is an easy way to get everything adhered on, all in one shot. Everything’s united as one piece so I was super excited to share this! ( for those of you who already figured this out…lol—High Five! 🙌🏼)

✅ Our Scrappy Mad Libs Story is Complete!

🌟 The Day My Mini Album Took Over My Craft Desk!

I thought I was having a calm, Cattywampus morning in my craft room… but no.

I pulled out my Mini Album ready to create, and chaos struck almost immediately.

I grabbed my trusty Bone Folder and cut Fourteen and Two Thirds pieces of paper before I realized I was Celebrating the wrong Vellum the entire time!

Then, out of nowhere, my Paper Poinsettias fell on the floor and made a huge Pspspspsps.

I tried jumping over the mess, but all I could feel was Elastic and a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, a handful of Popcorn calmed my nerves, and I grabbed my leftover Pipe Cleaners to fix the disaster.

Somehow, despite the madness, the mini album looked amazing — a true masterpiece of creativity… and chaos! 😆

❤️ I love how each of you added your own touch to this silly story! Should we make another round soon? Maybe “When My Bone Folder Went Missing”? 😂 Comment below if you’re in for round two!

What’s your go-to pair?

Is it even papercrafting if you don’t have a small army of scissors?😋

Challenge completed! This was so fun🤩

It was so cool to learn to cut a frame using paper trimmer. I was struggling with it in my previous projects using a cutter🥲Thanks to you Francės Long 🤗

This is the Slim Folio with an extra pocket on the spine for extra pictures and storage. This album was sooo much fun. I resisted the urge to add a shaker on that tall frame in the back cover. I need to stop being so obsessed with shakers!!! I'm constantly looking for fun confetti. 🎉

A friend wanted 2 softball scrapbook for her daughters for Christmas. I played softball a really, really, really long time ago in high school. Like way before the softballs were this neon yellow 🥎. Which doesn't color match with much.

I found this PhotoPlay paper and it's cool, but the black pages are kind of shiny. I've never worked with paper like it before.

There are so.many fun things in this album. Fun to explore.

Hi Friends,

I’m so happy to be here with you for this special one. 💕 This project came to life through a fun community collaboration! I reached out to three of our active friends here in our community and asked if they’d like to share a sketch idea for an interactive page, then I would teach it in class—and they absolutely ran with it!

✨Introducing our three amazing Concept Queens: Veronica Hebard, Lee Zenko , and Syreeta Thomas

Each of them brought such unique inspiration to the table, and I had a blast turning their sketches into a reality. I really hope you love it you three! I cannot wait to see yours--and everyone else's renditions!

Come watch the full album walkthrough and class here

Thank you again Veronica, Lee and Syreeta for this unforgettable opportunity to connect with you ❤️
