What to do with completed projects

I make a lot of projects. Like A LOT of projects. They run the gamut from scrapbooks and faith-based projects, to old planners, traveler’s notebooks, mini-albums and cards. I really do get so much enjoyment from each finished project, but they can really pile up quickly. I used to always imagine that my kids wouldContinue reading “What to do with completed projects”

Setting Creative Goals in the New Year

Happy 2022! It has certainly been a while since I have been over here on the blog. December was a crazy month, and with 12 inches of snow to kick off January, 2022 has already been pretty eventful around here. I am hoping and praying that all of you had a wonderful holiday season andContinue reading “Setting Creative Goals in the New Year”

“Summer Goodbyes” Memory Keeping Process

Goodbyes will always be hard. Goodbyes in the midst of a global pandemic that has the world turned upside down are especially hard. Recently, my parents made a big cross-country move, leaving the Northern Virginia area and making their way back to Texas. I decided to work through a little of the sadness of themContinue reading ““Summer Goodbyes” Memory Keeping Process”

Embracing Crafting Mistakes

We all make them.  Nobody is perfect.  Yeah, yeah, we hear that all the time.  Yet, when we go on social media, we see perfect lay-outs with crisp white backgrounds.  We see crisp stamping and clean lines.  And, all those things are great, but they are not the real world.  Glue gets out of controlContinue reading “Embracing Crafting Mistakes”

Creating Pockets for Your Traveler’s Notebook

Pockets, pockets, pockets!  I am loving this trend of creating interactive elements in travelers notebooks and pretty much any paper crafting project.  It captures the essence of why we create our crafts in the first place.  They are meant to be used, interacted with, and appreciated.  I love creating pockets in my TNs because IContinue reading “Creating Pockets for Your Traveler’s Notebook”

“Life’s Short, Eat the Cake” – Art Journaling Process

Okay, I can’t help it. It’s my birthday month, and I have cake on the brain.  Not to mention that Mother’s Day just passed…yet another opportunity for cake. But, to be brutally honest, with swimsuit season just around the corner, cake has not felt like a great idea.  I feel like I may be becoming more andContinue reading ““Life’s Short, Eat the Cake” – Art Journaling Process”
