Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

      I have had a project like this on my mind for months and finally got around to working on it!! I am really happy with how it turned out... It is however the second attempt though! 😂 I mis-measured and had it practically together before I realized it so had to start over.      Here is a look at how it looks empty so you can see the matting inside. It's just plain seeing as it will be full of projects so no need for anything fancy. It is just for me and as of yet there is no tutorial because I apparently can't measure so good 😂 some of the parts are a little crooked! I have been asked for a tutorial by a few crafters so I may think about doing one in time... what do you think?      If you have been following me lately, you know I am all about the Bees 🐝! The slogan for the town I live in was changed a few years ago but it will always bee the same to me... The Land of Rape & Honey.      I have already made a few Bee T...

      My favorite color is orange but I absolutely love the Simple Stories Vintage Lemon Twist Collection! I decided to use it on the NEW 2 Day Folio PLUS - Folio #2. I quite enjoy making this style of Memory Book and love to share with others!      I created an Etsy Shop and have a few tutorials as well as finished albums & folios for sale. I have also made my own Art Glitter Glue Bottle Bling Charm Dangles that you can find in my Etsy Shop as well.      This Folio will hold quite a few photos for its size and depending on the size of the photos, cropped 8" x 10" and below. Finish the Folio measures 8" x 10" x 1 1/4".      There is a Tutorial for the Construction of this project in my Etsy Shop ! There is also a Full Project Share Video on my YouTube Channel but I have added it here as well 😊 Products Used:     - Simple Stories Vintage Lemon Twist Collection Kit     - Simple Stories Vintage Lemon T...

     Every time I make a new 2 Day Folio or decorate an already existing 2 Day Folio, it becomes my new favorite! 😂  Here is the latest of the 2 I have done of 2 Day Folio # 7. This one I call Country Harvest Folio and it is done with an updated Cutting Guide. I had to expand the spine and change how the cover flap fold in. I didn't want to confuse anyone so I did Version 2 of the Cutting guide. You can see the Project Share Video for this project by clicking the image below, or go directly to My YouTube Channel to see all my Project Share Videos.

2 Versions of 2 Day Folio #4       I haven't posted to my blog in a while so I thought I would try and catch up in one post. I have done a few projects this summer, not many new constructions but I have done a few versions of a couple projects. If you follow me, you know that I love to do my 2 Day Folios! I can't believe I have done 9 different ones... WOW!! I sure hope I have more in me!!! This is the latest version of my 2 Day Folio #4 - Version 3 There will be another version of this project to come because I am doing a class on November 5th using this Construction. Funny thing was, this was my least favorite construction! It sat in my craft room for months without being completed, now it is one of the most popular ones.  This version is using Simple Stories Vintage Christmas Lodge. I always have 2 packages of any collection because most of the time I use some of the second package. Especially when packages come with cut apart sheets, those are usually what I like...

      I think now that I am back in my craft room, I am feeling how much I missed it not big in there from October of 2021 to May 2022! I am on a roll now that I am crafting again... work is totally getting in my way 😂      I took a couple vacation days this week and next weekend it the long weekend so I will get to play again and hopefully complete another project!!      This one is one of my 2 Day Folios that I started after making a series done by Vanessa Peter of Scrappin' It Up called Forever & Always! She made it so easy to fall in love with constructing these awesome projects.        Anyway... this one I am calling The Best Place To Bee Folio and I just uploaded the FREE Tutorial video to my YouTube Channel . Check it out for lots of FREE project tutorials!! The paper I used here on this one is a digital collection and I absolutely LOVE it!! It combines my 2 favorite things right now, Bees and Gnomes! I now hav...
