A place to showcase my crafts and talk about it...what's better than that? I hope to inspire and encourage others to create things for themselves, friends and family.
Happy Thankful Friday! We had a little different week this week. DS3 and DIL took a quick trip out of state and we had the girls for a couple of night/days. And that is what I'm thankful for this week.
It was a lot, I'm not going to lie, but I'm thankful that we are able to do this for them. The fact that we are not only close in distance but in relationship too. Not many people have this type of relationship with their grown children and we are so blessed that we do.
What are you thankful for this week? Let me know in the comments!
I'm so glad I kept this Covid scrapbook collection from CTMH because the backsides are fabulous. I love themed collections because this is usually the case when papers are double sided.
I wasn't looking for a specific color scheme since the book jackets are all sorts of colors so this colorful collection also worked for that reason!
I also had a blast stamping all the embellishments for this layout for my daughter and my Summer Reading Marathon photos & memories.

Sketch is from Scrapbooking the Day Away which is an all things scrapbooking website. There's two types of memberships. One is free and the other is paid. Go check it out if you're looking for a scrapbooking community, challenges, inspiration, tutorials, tips and tricks!
This is page two of a back-to-school double spread that I made earlier. It is very similar which is perfect for a coordinated look.
When Echo Park had a warehouse sale, I really stocked up on their sticker sheets. I figured I have plenty of paper in my stash that would coordinate without buying complete kits/collections. Guess what? I do!!
I love how this layout and the coordinating one turned out. You can watch the process video for the left side HERE .
Now check out the process YouTube video for the layout above (and the left side of this two page spread)!
Happy TGIF and Happy Thankful Friday! This week I'm thankful for time spent with my family. I know, I know...isn't that all the time? Yes and no. Earlier this week, my son who lives in So. California was here with his girlfriend.
They just returned from a trip and shared lots of photos and some exciting news. We had four days and three nights of full family fun which included one new restaurant, two birthdays, and three unicorn drinks.
It was a great long weekend and great family time!

I used to love playing with paper dolls when I was a little girl and I'm not sure if I ever outgrew it. These Julie Nutting stamps are so fun to play with and this time I decided to use them for paper dolls.
After stamping the doll and a couple of outfits, I decided to use clear packing tape to "laminate" each of them. I did this by placing each figure on the sticky side of the tape and then sandwiched it with another piece of tape.
I burnished and trimmed each piece before adding a piece of magnet to it.
Be sure to watch the YouTube process video.
And if you're looking for budget friendly craft supplies (aren't we all??), check out the Jenlee Schoolcraft website. You'll find new and gently used items. Use my first name, Dorlene for 10% off your order.
One of the nicest things about Cricut Design Space is that there are so many great projects that are on there. I searched for a 50th anniversary card and found one I wanted to make. The card was created by Theresa Donnelly originally but I made some changes.
Perfect. I cut all the elements and then couldn't for the life of me figure out how to fold it. It took quite some time to figure it out but eventually I did.
This is why I decided to film it. If you decide to make one, see below for the DS file and watch the YouTube process video to help you!
