45 Cards From One Paper Pack Fall Is In The Air Echo Park

I am off to use as much of the paper as I can and see how many cards I can get out of one pack of Echopark paper. I love the colors in this pack. This pack came from the echo park warehouse Box sale that was purchased just a few months ago.

Crafty Christmas Collab 2019 Week 2 Heart Garland with the Cricut

@bourboncreekcrafts #GlueMatters

Here is the announcement video with the paper flip through: https://youtu.be/Khz502LmBkw

And here is week 1: https://youtu.be/u9XUz5NkeRM

Bourbon Creek Crafts started this challenge and her channel can be found here https://bit.ly/31UrnzC Where she will have a list of all the other crafters that are taken part in the challenge!

This project is simple but so elegant on a tree or mantle. I used the cricut to do the cutting for me. But you could totally use a heart shaped punch and any type of paper you desire. Or you could draw the shape out and make a paper template and do as I used to do in the 90’s and… Cut. Each. One. Individually.

Or you could be like me and grab this file that I saved for ya and make your own in less than an hour. The file is free even if you don’t have access…. And can be found at this link: https://design.cricut.com/#/design/181699546

I used a ruler with washi tape on it to mark the spacing… As I explain in the video.

Unboxing The Canon EOS M50 By A Newbie

Having a camera that will do what I dream up…. Has always been a dream of mine.

If you haven’t watched the prior video where my husband surprises me with this camera… Feel free to watch it here https://youtu.be/3UkLnDwwInk

Here is the Camera Canon M50 https://amzn.to/35BOTVb

The video we filmed the unboxing on was my cell phone. A simple Samsung S7 with a massively broken screen. I look forward to learning this camera… For now, I am waiting for lessons from my friend.

Follow us along on our journey. Because things are happening and we are filming them along the way. Look for the unboxing video coming soon.

Tuesday Morning and Michaels Haul and My Husband is 2

I love going to Tuesday Morning. In reality I miss popping into shops as I am going about my day. The wink and smile to the store employee that recognizes you and says hello…

I miss that.

Regina B Look what I found??!!!!! I totally started laughing inside the store. It was priceless. And I had to buy it because well…. You would have wanted me to right???

Crafty Christmas Collab Week 1 Hot Cocoa Packets With The Cricut

There is nothing that warms my heart more then to sit around a table full of artists that are showing off their work and what they do and make… Which is probably why I love the YouTube community so much. Because while they are hundreds of miles apart from each other they are still sitting around sharing what they are creating.

And this collaboration with a bunch of artists is exactly that… We are challenged to make 4 projects with one paper pad over the next 4 weeks….. And share it all through Instagram and YouTube!

My heart is totally full!!!!

Here is the announcement video with the paper flip through…. https://youtu.be/Khz502LmBkw

Bourbon Creek Crafts @bourboncreekcrafts started this challenge and her channel can be found here https://bit.ly/31UrnzC Where she will have a list of all the other crafters that are taken part in the challenge!

I love a good challenge but I really love these cute cocoa packets for my granddaughter to hand out at school. If you want to make them… Here is the link to the Cricut File: https://design.cricut.com/#/design/new/projects/user-project/179797433?category=My%20Projects

You will need to have cricut access for the cut. Everything was used that was free with the access membership. Cricut peeps no what that means. 😉

Fuel Your Story My Birthday Surprise

#Celebrate #Canon #DreamBig

My husband as always blew me away….

Here is the Camera Canon M50 https://amzn.to/35BOTVb

Everyone should have a spouse that treats them as if they are the most special person in their universe.

This entire video was filmed on the Samsung S7… Some of the ‘special effects’ are actually the camera freaking out. So I just rolled with it.

Follow us along on our journey. Because things are happening and we are filming them along the way. Look for the unboxing video coming soon.

November Card Challenge is here with 1 paper pad and all the Christmas Cards I Can Make!

Christmas cards are huge in our family. We send out triple digits and we sign each one and we use this moment to love on people. Our people… The #ChosenFamily in our world.

One way we find time to do this is to create it as an event. It is normally done on black Friday when everyone is shopping or that following Saturday. We mark it out in the calendar and are intentional with our time. It’s that important to us.

We make dinner together and set the Christmas Music to our favorite tunes. We light candles and create an event to sit down with fabulous pens that write smooth and take the time… To relax, and celebrate!

The paper pad I got at Michael’s but it doesn’t appear to be there… So Amazon is selling it here… https://amzn.to/33oGLW4 Oh goodness I may never leave a pad of paper I remotely like sitting in the store again!!!!!
