It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way that it is not intended!
Have you ever lost a stamp? Especially the photopolymer or clear ones? I know I have.
So the system I use so they don’t get misplaced is that I use the front of the case as somewhat of a holder until I can put the stamps back inside the case. Otherwise I have stamps on the floor, the bottom of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines, or any other place you can name.
Where do you put your stamps if they don’t make it inside the case? Please tell me in the comments.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday!
Sometimes what you intend to come out just doesn’t, am I right? I was creating a three layered tag. I liked each layer but not when they were put together. So instead I separated them out to create a card front.
What have you pulled apart to make something else? Please take a moment to answer in the comments. I’d love to hear.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Have you ever said yes when you really wanted or meant to say no? Why is that? Was it out of guilt? Commitment? Loyalty? Those are all great words but if your insides don’t match your outsides then there is sure to be conflict.
I used to be one of these people and no one ever saw my conflict unless you were very close to me. And by very close I mean Joel and maybe one other friend.
As I started to read books and heal from past trauma I learned that is was okay to say no. In fact it was very therapeutic to not do something that I felt shoved in to. Then I could truly bring energy, joy, and enthusiasm to the role. If I had not given a true answer then after the façade wore off then my no would eventually rise to the surface.
So how do you say no without feeling guilty? I had to practice. So, of course, I seemed to be given endless opportunities to say no. Now sometimes I failed and said yes and other times it would be a maybe. But as time marched on I began to learn how to say that two letter word…no…more easily.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Have you noticed your attitude follows how you act? If you are stingy and protective you tend to be more reserved in your personality. If you are giving and not so guarded then you tend to be more laid back and easy going.
Did you know that giving releases oxytocin (not to be confused with the medicine) in your brain that helps you to feel happier and generally better about the life you are living?
Now it doesn’t have to only be money. You can give your time or talents too. All will make you feel better about life.
If you are wondering where I am getting all of this from…please go read the entire article at https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/importance-of-giving-back.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Did you know that hot glue can be used to create a seal on your envelope? Just put a bunch and then put your favorite flower or stamp in the pile of glue. Yes, I said stamp. Just be prepared with a tweezer in case it gets “stuck” in the glue.
To accent the hot glue further use a paint pen to highlight some accents. Please note that the hot glue must be cooled off to do this step.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! If you want a different look, cut it!
For this card I took the mat and a Snips and cut the edge wavy.
What other ways can you trim a mat to make it look different?
Happy Crafting!
