Has anyone else noticed that 2024 is simply flying by and September’s just around the corner? As a crafter I’m acutely aware that holiday season is fast approaching. In Canada Thanksgiving comes first in early October, followed by Halloween and finally Christmas. For me this manic crafting season is a great opportunity to get rid of card, paper and embellishment scraps that tend to accumulate when you’re not paying attention. So for today’s Christmas card project I decided to fall back on a ... VIEW POST

Make It Masculine With Trucking Along
Despite my best intentions, after three surgeries it’s been much harder to get back into papercrafting than I’d imagined.

More are on the way, but in the meantime here’s a simple card I designed using just the stamp set and without a truck in sight. TRUCKING AND ... VIEW POST
