Episode 24 - Michael's Haul

Ok it is official I am just going to stop saying I am saving for my trip. I have never seen so many deals before lol :) Well I went to my Michael's today and with a $40 budget I came out with $85 worth of stuff? How does it happen so fast? but I will say on a good note everything but one item, I got on sale so that is good and I only got stuff I needed/wanted :) So here is the video with everything I bought, oh but I didn't show it in the video I bought 6 spools of ribbon as well they were 3 for $1... I did also fully intend to buy my "Simply Charmed" Cricut Cartridge but they did not have it in stock at my Michael's (probable a good thing they didn't lol)

Episode 23 - Cardstock Storage

Ok so as I said in a previous post, here is how I store my cardstock to easily find what color I am looking for... Hope this helps some of you :) I personally have found it to be the best way for storing it, it makes it so compact and neat.


Episode 22 - Coupon Holder

Ok so I have a new video up for you... I made my mom a coupon holder to add some organization to her never ending coupons lol :)... I bought the chipboard from Joann's in the 4"x6" and the 8.5"x11"... the envelopes can be any size you want depending on what you plan to store in it, I didn't even think about it til I started filming the video. I am going to make another one and turn it into a mini album, I will definitely post pictures as soon as that is done and maybe a video of some of the process :) So anyway here is the video super, super simple. If you would like an actual tutorial please leave a comment and let me know :) Have a great day and Happy Crafting! :)

P.S. I am still trying to figure out how to make the videos a little louder.

I broke my craft free promise again lol

Well I just slipped up yet again on the trying not to buy any crafts until after my trip lol :) I have been to Michael's twice this week, I know, I know but I had 2 50% off coupons and 2 40% coupons I couldn't resist lol... now I am finding all kinds of things I want and with great prices too :) so I figured since I am trying to behave I would at least share my finds with you :) Although I am off to Michael's again next week with 5 50% off coupons, The ad had a ton of great deals in it, Card stock is 40% off, All Scrapping Storage is 50% off, Stamps, Stickers are 40% and Paper Punches (which are personally my favorite) are 50% off... and also Cricut Cartridges will be $39.99, come on how can you not buy stuff lol... ok well on to some of my finds :) First is the new Cricut cartridge I have had my eye on for a while now they finally have it on Craft-e-Corner one of my favorite websites (they offer free shipping with any order) The cartridge is called "Simply Charmed" Oh my goodness just some awesomely cute cuts on there kinda like Create and Critter but not only animals :) The next thing a stamp set that Kwerner used in one of her videos and I thought it was awesome! the Jumbo Lowercase Stamp Set from Amazon although it is for kids she said to use it for cards, I thought what a great idea :) Ok and now the biggest thing I would love to buy is this awesome desk, much bigger than mine and has a built in file holder which is the perfect way to store cardstock (I will show you how I store mine now) Ok as always have a great day and Happy Crafting! :)

New Video :)




Hi everyone, I have a new video up :) although it is called a haul it isn't really :) why I put that I don't know?... I just mentioned a few items I found around town and really that's it lol... Also the sound is kind of low, I think this is due to the way I was filming... The camera was quite far, I had it attached to a shelf on my wall... so you may need to turn up the volume, I will try to get better for you on that :) Ok so the card is a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card... using an awesome stamp from Micheal's $1 aisle ( you gotta love the $1 aisle lol ) the stamp says "just batty about Halloween" so cute :) the patterned paper is from target :) Also sorry the video is a little choppy the camera shut off while I was filming so I lost cutting out the scallop circles but I think you should get the gist lol, If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment or email me :) as always have a great day and Happy Crafting!

New Video ;3



So it's not the best video in the world but... I really wanted to show you these buttons I found on Joann.com... They are called Buttons to cover and when I saw them they reminded me of the iTop so I thought why not give them a try for only $1.50 for 6... well my opinion they are a nice substitute for now... Here is the link to the brand I bought (Link) but they have other brands as well so you might want to check them out too... I am trying to keep from buying anything until after my trip... my family and I go on a yearly vacation to TN... I am really looking forward to it so I am trying to save up but I have already broken down once and bought some craft stuff from Generation Crafting but I am back on track and have not bought anything for the last week lol... I made the junque journal for movie tickets and random memorabilia from trips I take and am getting ready to take it was and is far from being done but I will try to add some pictures of it as I fill it up more... Now for the links mentioned in the video... Whitney on youtube as WhitneyFletcher and Robyn from MyPinkStamper... Well I think that is all and here are the pictures of the junque journal before I added the two pockets... Have a great day and Happy Crafting!!!
