Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

I am so excited about this awesome card!       I was watching videos this morning on YouTube as I usually do while I'm having my morning coffee and I found the Video Tutorial for this awesomeness !! It is by Country Craft Creations which is one of the many Channels I follow... I have become a bit of an addict 😂      Rather than saying it a dozen times... you can find all the info on the products I used to make this card in the description of the YouTube video of my card . Here is a better look at the front of the card.

A Retro Recipe Book!      This is now the second Recipe Book I have made using a Composition Book from the Dollar Store. I bought a few while I was there because they are so much fun make and it comes together so fast!! This is the kind of project that you can start and finish completely all in 1 day!      This one is decorated with the Authentique Paper Delicious. Not normally my style of paper as I like bright and colorful, not so much Retro or Vintage. This project is make to give away on my Facebook Business page so I thought if I used a paper that "I" didn't like so much, it would be easier to give away 😂 Now that it is done... I still don't want to give it away!        I used some of the ephemera that comes in the package to decorate the front cover as well as one of the cut aparts from one of the sheets. This is also a technique I haven't done much of but I think looks really nice and makes an eye catching cover.      It is going to end up being pretty bul

Love this Christmas Shaker Album!! This album was done for a swap in my Facebook group Together We Are HappiLeaStamppin. I have other tutorials for group members only but this one doesn't have a tutorial... yet!      You can kind of see on the spine of this album is a charm dangle... these are things that my Daughter and I have made a few of and this is the first project that I added one to. I have always liked when I see them on albums in other YouTube videos I  have watched and I thought I would try one for myself. I even used some of the Charms Stampin' Up! had to dangle from the charm! 😃      This project took a fair amount of paper... you will want to have at least 24 to 36 sheets of coordination papers to do this. You can use less DSP if you use regular Card Stock but I like the look of the DSP so I like to use it more.      In this particular project, I used 3 different Stampin' Up! DSPs to decorate the album and just Card Stock for the "Place Photo Here"

Something I decided to do to try and boost my followers on my YouTube Channel and on my Facebook Business Page! I like to give things away and I thought it would be fun to try something that would give me something to remember all of those who support me. You will find all the information you need to know to join in the Challenge on my YouTube Video.

I can’t believe I never thought of this before...  I have thrown out so many!! Yup, this beautiful ornament is made from garbage!! 😃 You read correctly... GARBAGE! I am never throwing anything away ever again!! This is made from the ring of the double sided tape we all love to use! Whether it’s Tear & Tape, Scor Tape or Red Liner tape... DO NOT throw away the ring anymore!! I also used the Poinsettia Dies and various sizes of Circle Dies along with Real Red Braided Linen Thread and the Braded Pearls. Most are in the Poinsettia Place Suite. The shaky shakies are just from my stash.      This is going to be the Prize that I will give away at the end of October on my Facebook Page!!

My Daughter and I have ventured into something new and exciting!! Glue Pretty Bottle Bling Pins    We all love the Art Glitter Glue but are always loosing that little pin on our crafting table!! You see all these beautiful colorful toppers and by the time you get them... they cost a small fortune.      That was what is was for me seeing all the videos on YouTube and Facebook that all the amazing and talented crafters post and so many of them had these cute little suckers... I wanted one but by the time I got it to Canada, It was twice or 3 times as much as the charm.  I decided to get what I needed to make my own and of coarse there was lots left over so I made up a few more!! I posted them in various groups on Facebook and managed to sell a few! I only had a hand full so I went and got more beads and recruited my Daughter and her half sister (who is staying with us for the summer) and they made about 60-70 more and I thing about 50 have sold. These are just a coupple examples but ther

This is such an awesome little project! I absolutely Love Kathy King and her amazing style of projects and matting! She has been my Mini Album Idol ever since I started following her on a daily basis! I hadn't purchased the tutorial yet when I made this so it is sized a little different than in the tutorial but I now have the tutorial so I won't struggle as much when I make it again! 😉      I made this one with a beautiful Stampin' Up! Suite called World Of Good. I didn't use all the elements in the Suite but it is definitely worth getting the entire Suite if you are going to purchase any of it! This was given as one of my monthly give away projects and the recipient absolutely loved it! I love making all these projects but I have never been much of a memory keeper so I end up giving most of them away as give aways or as gifts.   Product List  154140 $141.00 154091 $65.50 152491 $20.00 153600 $15.00 104199 $6.7

     I have been working on a new, Not So Mini Album for a little while now! It is the biggest project I have done on my own so far! It has been a challenge but I am getting it done. It is taking a some time to complete because I am also writing the cutting guide as I go... I am not a planner so I am putting it together as I go... making a few boo boo's but learning how to fix and avoid them next time!      Here is a look at the cover of the POCKET FULL OF HAPPINESS MINI ALBUM !       I am super excited about this one but I am finding it is taking way more pretty paper than I anticipated!! I was holding off on matting until I knew I had enough paper and silly me thought 2 packs would be enough... Good thing I had others that will kind of match! I am not quite done but when I am I will know how many sheets of paper it takes. Not all packages have the same number of sheets so I like to go by sheet.      The main collection I am using is one I got from Scrappin with T - Moose Ja

💖💖 I absolutely LOVE this album!!! 💖💖      This is the project I just completed on Wednesday! It took me a little longer to make because I went through an "I don't like this" for a couple of days! I fixed the parts I didn't like and I was much happier with it, I was then happy to put pretty paper on it!      I have made a Cutting Guide for this project and it is posted in my group on Facebook, Together We Are HappiLeaStamppin. I will be doing my first set of live classes for this project starting tomorrow (Saturday April 18th) at 1:00pm CST. If you like it and are not already part of the group, head over to Facebook and search for the group. There are questions so please answer them to be accepted. 😊        This album is inspired by the Chibichibi & Milo album "FAMILY" Folio Style Album that you can find links for in my previous blog post. It is a really fun project to make and can be done in just a few hours! It usually takes more time
