 Hello Everyone! We have finished our turkey and have now gotten through Thanksgiving! Now it is time to start our Christmas shopping, planning, including our card making! So what a better time to start my 2018 Christmas Series, right?!? LOL Well let's get started then,,, first up we need to focus on the basics... There are so many techniques and gadgets out there, sometimes it is just overwhelming... The only items you need to create beautiful cards are pattern paper, scissors, a pen, a ruler and the mist important item... your imagination!  By just using a paper pad from your local craft store you can create many cards in one shot... Most paper pads have a couple of sentiment pages which is perfect if you did not want to invest in stamps!  Even if they do not have those pages you can certainly write you sentiment yourself! Just grab a pen and go to town! If you think you do not have nice handwriting, just go slowly when you write and you will be surprise! Have your curiosity! Just click on the video below to see all the crafty details! When you are done watching the video, and want to see more, CLICK HERE to go to my YouTube Channel ...

But all is better and I am hopefully back on a normal schedule! Anywho, I have decided to start a series called 'Simplicity in Card Making'... In this series I will go over how to use up that stack of pattern paper we have all horded over the years. ...and yes this includes both the 6 x 6 and the 12 x 12 papers! This is the first, in what I hope to be MANY more videos! Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and Share what you create today!

Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably made it and collected it. I simply find so much joy in working with my hands and seeing a happy customer with one of my creations. There’s nothing better! But I also love helping people become stronger and seeing them find THEIR happy through THEIR creations.
