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!

✨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!

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 ❤️
