🚨 At long last 🚨 The "September Project" Fall Is In The Air Landscape Folio #1      I have FINALLY finished the "September Project" that I was supposed to have finished in September of 2023!! So just a couple months late! But better late than never, Right!! 😂       I am so happy to be back in my craft room and going strong! This was to be just a 1 project kit but because everyone who purchased the kit had to wait for so long, I have decided to turn it into a small series of at least 3 projects.      Pictures really don't do it justice but I wanted to show you my favorite page(s) that I designed as a layout & closure for the section.      We purchased the Graphic 45 Hello Pumpkin Collection and used about 1/2 of what we purchased. The 12" x 12" Mail Collection, the 12" x 12" Patterns & Solids Collection and the 8" x 8" Paper Pad. I used 10 sheets from the Main Collection and 5 sheets each from the other Patterns ...

  Pop Out Slider Card      I am having so much fun with this card! It is super easy to make, you can likely bang out 5-10 a day as long as you know how you are decorating! I of coarse don't plan that far ahead and I don't like to have too many of the same card so I do a couple a day 😊       This is my favorite one thus far, just a nice "Hello" card. I have done, I think 5 or 6 different cards of this design just using different pattern paper. I have a 💩 ton of this paper so I think I will make a few more with this collection.       This collection is the Echo Park Coffee & Friends Collection. I am always looking for coffee things, pretty paper, stamps, dies, ephemera etc. and this one is so universal... I think I still have at least 5 full packages! LOVE this collection!!       If you like this card, head over to my Facebook Groups, Cards @ Home  and ask to join! There will be questions to answer ...

  I'm Back In My Craft Room!!!                I can't say it enough... I am so happy to be back in my craft room! It has been a rollercoaster for my Daughter and I over the past year and a half! I am glad to have her home and to be back in the crafty spirt!      Here is an absolutely gorgeous Interactive Fun Fold Card! It is called the Double Concertina Inter-Lock Card and I believe the original designer and or creator is Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Crafts. I love her fun fold cards, she is a super creative crafter and I wish she lived on this side of the big pond!! That and her cards are a little bigger so are great for that special someone you make a card special for.       I have done 4 of these cards now, this one was for a Friend and she absolutely LOVED it, I did one for my Daughter's Birthday, I did up a step by step instruction sheet so did one for that and then I did it with my Cards @ Home Facebook gro...

      So it seems August is Blog catch up month for me! I get crafting and forget to do the little things that I like to do to keep my fans updated!! My apologies!!  A look at 1 Recipe Page or Insert      This was supposed to be another Cinch Book but it seems I got a little carried away... AGAIN! I made it a few paged too big so it got WAY to chunky to be bound! So... I am going to make a box to house it and a couple extra inserts and recipe cards.       I made 6 pages or inserts now and each one has spots for 26 recipe cards, 4 of which are digitally added with the digital collection I used. The Grandma's Pantry Collection my Nitwit Collections. If you choose to make the project as I did, you will have a recipe box that will hold at least 154 special recipes.       I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for the box part of this project so hopefully I can get at it soon so I can post it. I'm certain I will...

      I wanted to support my local Scrapbook Store that I frequent in Dalmeny Saskatchewan called Scrappin with T so I thought I would try something new... I am doing a Tri Monthly Kit Club that is open to anyone in Canada as long as you are willing to pay the shipping for a Canada Post Flat Rate Box.       The kit includes the supplies to make the project, a PDF Cutting Guide and Video access to a NEW project made just for that Months kit. Prices vary depending on the Collection we choose for that month but so far it seems to be going well! I have made a proto type for the actual project and am currently working on the actual Kit Club Project that I hope to have finished next weekend.       Here is a look at the Proto Type Project for the 1st Tri Monthly Kit Club - July Project...      I call this style of Memory Book my 2 Day Folio because when I started making them, I could get one pretty much finished in a weekend...

 Boy have I been slacking on my blog!!! I guess its time to start catching up 😊      I have finally done a Christmas In July Project! I am not much for planning anything but I kind of did for this one. My friend found a Cinch Machine for one heck of a deal, she got the machine for $4 CAD and 6 sets of 3/8" coils for $1 a piece I think she said! She wasn't entirely sure what it was but knew it was a fun crafty tool so she got it. When I seen it up on her shelf I asked her if I could play with it and she said sure, so it came to live at my house and this is what happened...      So the first one I made was the Cinch book but then I realized that there are a lot of crafters out there that may want to make this but don't have a Cinch Machine so I made it into a Mini Album!! I used a digital collection by Nitwit Collections called Gnome for Christmas. Such a cute collection and has so many cute Gnomes... as you can see!!  The above photo is of the 1st...
