Box of crafty goodness from ClearScraps!

Hello All! I'm back to show off the goodies I received in my ClearScraps guest designer box. I have to create at least one project each month from March until June. I honestly wasn't sure what Susan would send other than a mini album or two, since she noticed that those are my go to...And yay, there were two included in my kit:






I got a wide scallop mini plus a mixed acrylic and chipboard "Cutie" album. But in addition to those, I was delighted to find these chip images:





Plus this ship lap shape:



Isn't that shiplap awesome?! And wood so very sturdy. My mind was going through the possibilities as soon as I laid eyes on him. I also got a curious wood piece. It's house shaped, and I am still thinking what to do with it.


It's large and with the slats, stands on its own once assembled. I had a thought about my craft club in Ocean Pines that we always leave a small spiral out for people to sign in but don't really call attention to it. I was wondering about turning this into a welcome/please sign in piece, but I'm not certain yet. Stay tuned though, as that's part of what this blog will be, my journey in the new position as guest designer. Want to pick up the clearscraps goodies for yourself? Visit their site here.

And now it's time to get to work. I will be balancing writing, crafting and photography over the next few months. I can't wait to explore the creative energy. I saw another phrase on social that made me smile...You are the artist of your own life, so don't hand the paintbrush to anyone else! I love that. It's easy to scroll and like or love someone else's work. Don't let it keep you from creating yourself.


Get in there and get crafty!  Kel :)

Easy Flip Folio

 Hi All--I have been seeing so many flip folios and junk journals in social media that I thought I would offer a quick tutorial in case you want to create one yourself. Supplies: 3 sheets of 11x17 cardstock (I got some from Amazon), your bone folder, paper trimmer, scoreboard if you have one, double stick tape and the designer papers or cardstock you wish to use to decorate your folio. I haven't finished mine yet since I've been swamped with special orders from my shop, but I will come back and post those photos when I'm finished. So here are the 12 steps to your own flip folio! Sheet One Step 1) fold into thirds by scoring at 5 and 5/8 inches Step 2) fold at score lines. cut off the bottom inch of your folio. This forms the base. Sheet 2 Step 4) Cut into 3 sections of 5.5 x 11 inches Step 5) take one sheet, cut off 1.5 inch on the short side, score a half inch flap opposite of that (and apply double stick tape to it) leaving you with a sheet measuring 9x5.5 Step 6) take 1 ...

Sweet Symphony Wide Scallop Mini Album Hello All, Kelly here with my very first post. I hope I get it all just right, but if I don’t please comment and let me know! I don’t know about you, but I love the minis. They are my favorite project to work on…primarily because I can capture an event or a trip in a small package. I often use them as part of my seasonal décor. It’s fun to trot out a themed mini on my coffee table because friends and family pick it up to skip through it. So for today’s project, I’m using the  wide scallop album , which is such an adorable size! Since the album measures 3x8 inches, an 8x8 pad is just perfect for this project. I had saved this one for just the right project. So, I started by finding alternating pages with blush and black, I love that layered look in the waterfall of the scallop. I then traced and cut the bases with my trusty Fiskars and cutter bee scissors. Then once I have my pages cut, I plan and play with them before gluing. This is work at a...
