I used some of my June Counterfeit Kit, Butterfly Garden, but also added some paper for a couple of backgrounds and several stickers. It feels good to use up stash I've had for a while as well as my stamps that I do not get out often enough.

June Counterfeit Kit Challenge
A while back I found a blog called the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. Every month they pick a kit from one of the current Kit Clubs to “counterfeit”. Then each person on their design team, called Master Forgers, curates a kit from their own stash based on this kit. As a papercrafter, I have found that...
Sending Cards
I’m back again with a few cards I recently made for family that we have been unable to visit due to the Coronavirus and our “shelter in place” regulations. Normally we would be in San Antonio celebrating birthdays this weekend with Scott, his mom & one of his nephews having birthdays the first week of...
Picture Overload
Do you ever feel like you are drowning in pictures? Since our move I have not really had time to scrapbook and I usually need at least 3 to 4 hours of uninterrupted time to feel like I am making any real progress. I am definitely feeling “picture overload” right now. When I am scrapbooking,...
Scrapbooking Family Traditions
How many of your family traditions are tied to food, the holidays or both? For me, the one that stands out is Pumpkin Bread. My grandmother made pumpkin bread every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, I understand that usually when you make bread it is in loaf pans. But not my grandmother, she made it in...
Making changes
So this first picture is the reason why I have been MIA lately. This small town girl didn’t last long in the big city. After so many years of living in my hometown, Scott got used to wide open spaces as well. Scott’s job is not living up to expectations and neither one of us...
Rolling Cart Organization
Today I’m going to talk a little bit more about organizing, specifically my rolling cart organization. I have found that people seem to either love organizing or hate it. I love it! My job as a secretary almost demands it, but it also seems to come naturally to me. I’m sure a few of you...
(inter)National Scrapbook Day 2019
Since we are coming up on National Scrapbook Day 2019, I thought I would talk about crops & retreats. There are lots of differing opinions on Scrapbook Crops. Some people absolutely love them (me!) and some do not, for a variety of reasons. A few reasons for attending would be to have uninterrupted time to...
Too Many Scrapbooking Supplies
Scrapbooking Supplies – Paper Edition Today, I am going to talk about scrapbooking supplies. How many of us have too much stuff? Now I do not think this is news to anyone, but if you are struggling to make what should be simple decisions, maybe the problem is there are too many choices. I know...
Contemplating Scrapbook Album Sizes
There are quite a few album sizes, but the main one most scrapbookers start with is 12×12. I also started scrapbooking almost 20 years ago with Creative Memories and there weren’t as many choices. So that is how I ended up with my scrapbooks in a state of confusion. Why confusion? Well, mainly because I...
