🥳New Class Project On The Way! ( despite the construction site behind me—you can’t see from this angle…lol. Bathroom remodel is coming along! Laying the last of the floor tile today ) Swipe to see photos of how we’ve been living in our bedroom for the past month lol 🤣 ( last photo will be the wall tile for the shower ) i’m so looking forward to this project being finished. It’s our biggest undertaking yet. And none of it would’ve been possible without all of you….really. I can’t wait to show you the before and after. I love you all so much! ❤️🥹

While working on the September LITTLE GEM Challenge I started the Layout Folio—My Sister and my Brother In Law will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on October 16th! I wanted to make them something special as a keepsake—this was easy and fun to create! The paper is SIMPLE STORIES—Simple Vintage Junk Drawer—all the pictures I down loaded off her Facebook page and had printed—they were high school sweethearts —they met when she was a Sophomore —15 yrs and he was a Senior —17 years—they were 19 and 21 when they married. I think she will be so surprised!

For the Little Gem-Tember Challenge, the challenge was to make it for me. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers.

For my album, I used Stampin’ Up!’s Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper.

🎙️New Podcast Episode!

When crafting brings people together: With Cheryl

I got to sit with Cheryl Torbet and chat about her incredible decades of creativity, from stamping and card making to mixed media and hand-bound journals. We talk about how craft retreats spark lifelong friendships and how our creative lives take us to the most wonderful places. You’ll love this one :) Tune into the episode here! ✨

This is my second attempt at the beginners mini album. I think I got the pages correct this time. It was fun to do.

I made the fall album with a thought to Thanksgiving pictures and recipes that can be passed on. Love this template!!

How small is too small to keep? I use little snack bags to keep my scraps from each paper collection. The pieces range from a quarter inch wide and up. I think to myself, "I should keep that little blue piece because it would be the perfect size to embellish a picture." But I'm going to have more small pieces when I make the next project and do I use what I saved or what I just cut? 👀
