My Crafting Era - Hobby Haven layout

Hello....today I have a scrapbook layout for you! 

For my December workshop, I was playing with the Hobby Haven DSP and had some fun with it. This one is all about crafting. If you look closely at the DSP, it has all kinds of craft items on it: sewing machines, embroidery, cross stitch, yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks, to name a few. It is a super fun, crafty page to document all your crafty endeavours.

Thanks so Very Much - AHSC 662

Hello! 

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season and is getting some time to rest and recharge as we head into the new year! I got some time to play in my craft room today, so that made me happy. 

I decided to pull out the Floral Impressions papers I have and play with that for today's sketch. I love Christmas, but I have been working on Christmas projects since the end of September, so I am so ready for the change to more colours and options in what I create with.

Magic and Wonder - AHSC 657

Hello! This week, I have two cards for you for the AHSC. I was making some cards for craft shows, and at the same time, trying to finish up some paper packs, I was able to finish off the retired Close to My Heart Christmas Story. While it felt great to finish off the paper pack, it was kind of sad because I loved that paper. I had small scraps and they were perfect for this week's sketch, so I used them up to finish off the paper pack.

May Thanks - PP Fall for Toile- AHSC 649

Hello! I am back, and today I am playing with the September Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! I like to experiment with it a bit and create my own cards using the contents. I cut the card bases in half to double what I can get out of the kits and bring in some fall-themed stamps from my stash! This is the Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin. 

I did take some creative license by adding the circle to add my sentiment. The background was dark, so the circle allowed the sentimet to stand out more.

You're Simply Incredible - AHSC #647

Good Morning!

I am back with another card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This sketch is great for making a quick, easy card that looks fabulous. 

For this card, I pulled out some leftover paper from the Toadstool Gardens paper pack. I used the You Are Remarkable stamp set. I just love this flower, and the sentiments that are in this stamp set are so great; it is one of my all-time favourites.

Hi There - AHSC 646

Hello! I am back, still trying to get back into the back-to-school routine with 2 in High School at different high schools, they keep me hopping for sure! 

So I was doing some cleaning and came across a very old paper pack from my CTMH days called Tickled Pink, and I had so little left, not enough for a layout, but I could get a few cards out of it, so I got playing, and this is one of the cards I came up with for some of the smaller scraps.

Boho Vibes Workshop Layouts

I fell in love with this paper the moment I saw it, and although it was 6 x 6, I just knew I needed to create a layout with it! It was fun to make these pages, though working with 6 X 6 inch paper for a 12 X 12 layout does pose some design challenges at times, it is very possible to create great pages with smaller papers! These were designed for my August 2025 Scrapbooking Workshop and I cant wait to share them with my group of ladies who create with me each month! 

If you are in Southwestern Ontario and would like a kit, feel free to email me at crzy4scrapbooking @ yahoo. com for more information on how to order!

Happy Scrapping!

Hello Spring - Happy Birthday

Good morning! I am back with another card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC). I created this card using the Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin card kit. I love receiving the kits for easy cards, but I always find that I do my own thing with them rather than making the cards they design.

Weekend Adventures

Anyone who knows me knows that I love spending time at the cottage; it is quiet, peaceful, and just so relaxing. Anytime there is a paper that is geared towards the outdoors and being at the cottage, I am all for it! Stampin' Up! made my heart skip a beat with these papers, they have cottage written all over them!
