Don't mind the mess, we're just having some fun!
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Handmade Christmas Ornament with a Cardstock Flower post. Have you ever looked at a clear plastic ornament and thought, “This could be something really special?” Today I’m turning one into an elegant handmade Christmas ornament featuring a delicate Helleborus flower made entirely from cardstock. I’ll show you…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Handmade Christmas Gift Tags with Holly Sprig post. And welcome back to another Christmas in July craft! Today we’re getting a head start on our handmade Christmas gift tags with a beautiful oversized design featuring a stamped holly sprig that’s colored with Copic markers. I’ll also show…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Double Z Fold Card project. Sometimes you find a fun fold that’s impressive enough to wow the recipient, yet simple enough that you actually want to make it more than once. That’s exactly how I feel about today’s Double Z Fold Card. Not only does it offer…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Very First Videos post. I have always been painfully shy and introverted, and that has had a major impact on my life over the years. Even back in 1998, when I first started blogging and sharing my tatting patterns online, putting myself out there felt…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Tabletop Flower Garden post. I don’t know about you, but I love paper flowers!

Of course, that brings up two common challenges—how to decorate vellum and how to attach it securely without the adhesive showing. In…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Copic Hair Color post.

Although I’ve used it several times before, this was my first time bringing it to life with…
Thanks for joining me for today’s Flashback Friday StampTV Color Challenge! Back in June 2012, I jumped into another fun challenge—this time featuring my favorite color: purple. This one was a no-brainer for me—I instantly knew which stamp and medium I wanted to use. While the original blog post link is no longer active, I’ve…
