Don't mind the mess, we're just having some fun!
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Gift Card/Money Holder post. Sometimes the best gift is simply cash or a gift card. The year I made this project, I wanted to treat my mom to a full year of lunches at the Senior Center. Cash or gift cards deserve pretty packaging, so…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Elegant Black & Silver Embossed Card post. The other day I had a completely different card idea floating around in my head. To test it out, I headed straight for my cardstock scraps… and ended up pulling out a TON of black cardstock! Seeing that pile made…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday 2011 Final Card Designs post. Back in the day, I really had a lot of fun creating different cards for Christmas. Rather than make a single card design multiple times, I spread my wings and just went for it. I can’t remember the last time…

As crafters, I think we all reach a point in our creative journey where we look at everyday objects and immediately imagine how they might work in a project. Back in 2011, when I created this challenge card, it took…
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…
