This quick episode is all about inspiration to shop your stash and looking for multiple uses for the products you already have.  Inspired by a layered stencil set, I am seeing things with a new perspective.  Don't miss my hot tip on changing out your stencil background from a white cardstock panel to a soft pale blue!

It finally feels like Fall here in Florida (not sure how long that will last so I am making the most of it)!  Let's create scrapbook pages about the season and Halloween by focusing on how we perceive them through our five senses: sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch.

It's time for another review of my 26 in 2026 list!  I'm excited to report some big wins and I'm a little surprised by what's been a challenge this year.  If you enjoy goal setting, planning, or a juicy chitty chat this episode is for you!

As I move into the Fall season, I am taking some time to enjoy summer favorites one last time.  I'm picking fun and easy transitions like color palettes to acknowledge the change at my craft table.

I'm fired up!  I've got a whole new energy for my favorite hobby.  I've found a way to combine two of my favorite things and now I have a supportive community for both.  Listen in and discover how your paper crafting hobby can fuel your dreams.

"The happiest days are when babies come." Today was a terrific reminder that you cannot imagine just how good life can be.  We all face struggles, hardship, and grief.  Dark times come to everyone, but the light is just ahead.

The Universe has been teaching me a lesson in uncertainty this month.  It started with a bang (literally, the whack of metal on metal when someone hit my car).  Add to it insurance, car shopping, rental car issues, new job growing pains, baby watch and a whole host of other things up in the air.  It's time to get comfortable with uncertainty.

It's the start of the month and I'm excited to share July's Big Three with you.  I'm ready to shake things up, try something new, and ramp up my creative energy.  I'm sharing how June went out with a bang and how Toastmasters inspired the card of the week.  You don't want to miss this episode!

We often talk about backing up our photos and getting them printed.  In this episode, I am sharing a quick and easy tip for getting your digital images organized.

Oops, I did it again...I got sucked back in to the world of intricate die cuts and paper craft projects that take an hour.  To be honest, I am loving it.  My cardmaking style has been all about quick and easy for a while now, but I got tempted by a Spellbinders car themed release and I can't get enough!

Lots to catch up on this week including my favorite new dies from Spellbinders, June's big three, and my theme for this summer.  I've got something for all my paper crafting buddies - junk journalers, scrapbookers, card makers, and planner girlies!

I'm inclined toward complexity.  I love the layers, the depth, the extras in a lot of cases.  The one place I'm finding I don't need them is my craft table.  My crafty goals are simple: one - have fun, two - celebrate connection.  I send simple cards 98% of the time because what I value most is sending the message that someone is important to me.  I don't need to spend hours on a card or scrapbook page to say that.

How does baking a fancy cake relate to my experience at my craft table?  My creativity experiment reminded me of the basics of my preferred work style and even the importance of keeping my energy up with music.  Most important of all, it reinforced the message of focusing on the effort, the sentiment, and the emotion instead of perfection.  Listen in for the details!

This Spring just seems to be passing so quickly.  I don't want to let my days rush by and find myself on a hamster wheel.  I want to use my paper crafting hobby to support my dreams and goals.  One of the ways I do that is by playing a game called the Big Three.  Each month I plan three things that light me up and get my creative jiuces flowing.  Then I scrapbook those events.  I get the joy of anticpating them, the joy of the experience, and the joy of documenting the memory in my album.

These days my favorite project is my Toolbox Journal.  It's the place where I track my progress on my goals (including my 26 in 2026 list), a commonplace book, and a place to keep notes on all I am learning this year.  I am especially interested in science backed behavior change.  I am currently working to create a layout of evidence that I can do hard things such as finding the right auto mechanic, taking care of my oral health, and finally taking my left over paints to the tip.
