Window sheets are not just for shaker cards. They can also be used for an entire pouch. Instead of using cardstock try using a piece of window sheet. Just make sure to have matching or complementary shreds to go inside. They can be so cute with the right contents to match. So next time you buy a gift or some candy make sure to match your ribbon or tag too.
Happy Crafting!

Today’s technique is more of a tip. Do you ever get stumped? Do you feel that your creative mojo is just gone? Here is my technique or tip for you today…copy the catalog! There are so many great ideas, projects, and cards in the catalogs that they need to be used. Don’t be scared to copy. Just give credit where credit is due.
Happy Crafting!

The boxes are in! Stop by today during open time to grab your box. I will also be up in Yucca Valley mid week to deliver boxes.
If you are wondering…I am only off for Spring Break on Friday. This is mostly a normal week for me. So there will be open times today and Live will still go.
I think it’s time for a promotion. What do you think?
Since it’s Tax Day Deadline tomorrow let’s have something related to this. I will refund your tax on any order over $25 placed today or tomorrow. Please use host code F2FBQT3X to help Sandy. This order will be closed by 6 pm on Tuesday. This does not count for Club.
Please remember that the retiring list is up. Here is the link…Retiring List
Below is what has already been sold out. Please don’t wait to contact me on what you need to finish that list.

I have been going to the gym pretty consistently for the last year. I am not saying this to get accolades, but I have learned something in the process. You must rest. On most rest days between workouts I don’t just sit idle, I stretch. After tearing down my muscles through a workout I stretch to get back in alignment and ease some of the tightness or tension.
How does this relate to crafting? I would encourage you to stretch. Make sure you are trying something new so you are stretched. Keep your brain active. Do different techniques so you keep your ideas fresh.
What will you learn today?

The retiring list has been released and there’s quite a bit on it. Personally, I have 56 stamp sets on the way out. So, here’s the link for this infamous list…Retiring List.
If you would like to order online please use host code F2FBQT3X to help Sandy out. If you prefer to order in person please do so before Monday at 9 pm. This will help Sandy and ensure the fastest avenue for you to get your product.
The new catalogs will be coming out next month. If you have ordered from me in the last year you will receive a catalog for FREE. If you would like a catalog but you haven’t ordered from me recently please contact me. There is still no cost but I need to know that you are still interested.
Without anything else to add I will you leave you as I always do.
Happy Crafting!

I am sure you have heard the saying that it’s not the big things that will break you, but instead all of the little things that add up. Well, today we are going to look at this from a positive outlook.
What if you smiled more?
What if you mailed the card?
What if you called who was on your mind?
What if you didn’t say something because it wouldn’t help the situation?
What if you said thank you more?
What if you focused on being more grateful?
You get the point, right?
How would your outlook on life change if you simply focused on the positive and being grateful?
This is something I am constantly working on. And I can tell you I have one specific friend that is the queen of gratefulness. Just listening and being around her is amazing. Her attitude is contagious. Her facebook page is Larissa’s grateful page. I would encourage you to follow her. I have served with her and she is real and has been through it, just like you.
So, on this Friday I hope to give back to you with a resource and a way to re-charge.
Happy Crafting!

I finally have an original thought. I don’t believe I have actually seen this idea anywhere. I used the Fruit Basket Stamp Set with coordinating mini punches to create a slot machine card. I am so excited that it is an original.
Here is the link to view the tutorial…https://youtu.be/F5cVU4Y1iq8
And here is the photo of the finished card. Enjoy!

Sometimes fruit are just that…fruit. But today these fruit will become lucky. When stamping with the set “Fruit Basket” I see a card with the front of a slot machine on it. Stay tuned until tonight when I create this lucky card on the Live. Join me at 7 pm for this basket of fun.
Happy Crafting!

Have you ever tried gluing little pieces on to a piece of cardstock and it peeled up? Or the corners just keep curling? Then take all those little pieces and glue them down, but don’t worry about the curling. Instead take that piece and run it through an embossing folder. The pressure will smooth both pieces of cardstock in to one seamless piece.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Card Class week if you haven’t heard.
There’s still time to RSVP for Thursday or Saturday sessions.
As a bonus I will have the swaps available to photo or for you to say that we should create them in a class.
The boxes have been ordered for the Rubber Rummage Sale. I ordered a few extras so please let me know if you are interested in selling.
I think that’s about all for now. I have to go clean my room.
If you would like to order online please use host code F2FBQT3X. If you prefer to order in person contact me.
Have a great start to your week! Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
