Here’s a pic of me setting up the last Peek & Seek game. It’s been so cloudy we haven’t had the chance for another sunny dramatic photo shoot. Once he comes back out to play—we will too. Hoping soon, because it was a blast to do! ❤️

✂️ Scrappy Mad Libs: The Day My Bone Folder Went Missing!

Hi Friends!
We’re back with another round of Scrappy Mad Libs, and this one might hit a little too close to home! 😂

I have a silly story about a mysterious day in the craft room when a bone folder suddenly disappeared (you’ll hear it soon 😉), but first, I need your help filling in the blanks!

There are 13 prompts — things like a craft supply, a feeling, or even a funny sound — and I want each of you to pick one number and comment below with your most ridiculous answer.

Once all the numbers are filled, I’ll plug in your words and read the full story aloud on a video post. I can already tell it’s going to be a good one! 😆

✨ Example:
“#3 — sparkly glue stick!”
“#8 — KA-THUNK!”

🗒 The Prompt List:
1 Adjective
2 Craft supply
3 Tool you can’t craft without
4 Number
5 Verb ending in -ing
6 Something you might lose in your craft room
7 Type of paper
8 Funny sound
9 Verb
10 Emotion
11 Favorite drink
12 Thing you say when you find something you lost
13 Noun

(Be sure to check the comments before you post so we don’t get doubles!)

🎉 What Happens Next:
When everyone’s answers are in, I’ll reveal our community story in a video post right here on this channel… hehe!

CLASSROOM UPDATE • CHAPTERS 🎉

Hey friends!

I wanted to share an update about something new I’m working on in the classroom. ✂️

This year, I’ll be slowly adding chapters to every part of each class. It’s a big project and will take some time, but I really think this could be a helpful tool for you!

You’ll be able to jump straight to a section you need to re-watch in a much simpler way, instead of scrubbing around to find a certain demonstration.

I always suggest watching each class from start to finish first — the chapters then make it easy to find specific steps later.

Thank you so much for being along with me through this new classroom update. I’m excited to keep improving ways to make our crafting simple and fun!

Big hugs ❤️

Hey Friends! I’m teaching in person in Central California on March 21st 2026, and I would love to see you there!

We only have 5 seats left, and registration closes on January 31st… so if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the perfect time to jump in!

We’ll be creating a fun project that I’ll be teaching only at this live event — plus we’ll all be enjoying chai tea, snacks, lunch, and lots of laughter together!

This is not a beginner class, so you’ll want a bit of mini album experience. If you’ve made about five YBM projects, you’ll fit right in! ❤️

Reserve your seat here!

I can't wait to craft together with you in person!

🎄 The Merry Mini Challenge ✨

Hey friends! 🎄✨
Let’s kick off a quick + crafty holiday challenge! I loved seeing everyone’s projects for our November challenge — you all blew me away! So I thought it’d be fun to keep that creative spark going with a little “easy-win” project we can all squeeze in between the festive hustle.

For this one, we’re making the newest soft-cover mini album flipbook! It’s fast, adorable, and perfect for using up those scraps. I can’t wait to see your renditions pop up in our community — every twist and idea you bring inspires all of us.

Let’s make something cute, simple, and satisfying this season! Ready to play? 🎁✨

✨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! 🙌🏼)
