Don't mind the mess, we're just having some fun!
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday November Card Fun post. Back in November of 2010, I headed to YouTube to find some inspiration. As soon as I saw the name Jennifer McGuire, I knew I was in the right place! Let’s take a look at what inspired me—and see if you…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Card Share post. Ya know how sometimes a new technique is so exciting that you just have to put everything else aside to try it? That’s exactly what happened one evening in July of 2011. Even though I didn’t have the exact supplies, I dug…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday 3-D Tag post. Back in April 2010, I decided to step way outside my creative comfort zone and try the StampTV 3-D Tag challenge. While the experience was definitely interesting, I won’t lie—it was also a bit stressful because I had no idea what I…
Welcome back to the craft room! In today’s Vintage Floral Card with Distress Watercolor project, I’m creating something special for my sister. Since I’ll be mailing a larger item along with the card, I needed a bigger card base than usual. A 5″ x 7″ card is perfect for this project and gives me room…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Tic Tac Toe post. I always loved playing tic-tac-toe as a child, so when this card challenge came around, I was all in! Since I was still relatively new to card making at the time, I didn’t have a ton of supplies to choose from….

Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Ink Smooshing with 3 Unexpected Colors post. I love all of my Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads, but choosing color combos can be a challenge. No matter how often I search Pinterest for inspiration, the palettes rarely work for me—I’m usually missing one or two of the…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Crinkle Embossed Backgrounds to Card Fronts post. I had so much fun discovering how beautifully the WausauPaper Crinkles cardstock took to embossing—I couldn’t wait to turn those textured backgrounds into cards! Even though the backgrounds were freshly made, I took the opportunity to dig into my stash…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Thank You Daisy post. Seventeen years ago, when I began my blogging journey, there was absolutely no posting schedule. It was seriously hit or miss when inspiration struck and I found time to craft and share it. Recently, I went through my original blog to…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Masculine Cardmaking with Limited Supplies post. I don’t know about you, but creating masculine cards never feels easy to me. It probably doesn’t help that my craft stash is filled with florals and delicate designs—definitely more suited for feminine cards. When it comes to stamps and dies,…
