🎙️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! ✨

"Let’s make the Little Gem!

But the challenge here is, make it for yourself. It’s yours to add in whatever you like. Use it to hold pictures of fond memories, maybe journal about them too. It can be like a memoir, or a happy book for a quick smile

For mine, I’m going to write a haiku poem on each page, and add some photos to go along with them.

For years, I’ve been into these short poems called Haiku. As an example, here’s the most famous one:

Old pond

A frog jumps in

Plop

Few words to invite the imagination.

The Little Gem will be a nice trinket to showcase my favorites of these poems."

I made the Accordion Style Mini as a gift, and she loved it! She almost cried-happy tears of course. My day was made ✨ I used Paper Studio Family Paper Crafting Kit for this. You can see the full-flip here 😁

Besides a fun new class project dropping in September 😉,is there any podcast topics you’d like me to cover? These episodes give me a place to really expand on a specific topic, compared to a tutorial where we just get down to business.

I’d love to know what you want to hear.

What questions do you have or topics would you like me to talk through in detail?

Let me know in the comments! Love you guys 🤍

She’s packaged up and ready to be gifted today :)

Project share will post in a few days—I love it!

Currently working on a gift for someone. I’m making the Accordion Mini Album. I will be doing a fabric wrapped cover. This is for a sweet gal who sells melons with her family at the farmers market every Friday, we buy from them every week. She has been giving us a discount these past few times, so I had to make her something to say thank you. ( we have gotten to know her a little, she loves her cute little dog, so I’m making a dog themed album with some floral papers in a classy style- so off I go! ) 🌸🐾
