I have two new layouts to share. Both will be in the June issue of the Simple Scrapper member magazine, SPARK. (You can download a free issue here!) I was looking though my photos and found two that looked similar and that happened to be taken in the same month…only 8 years apart. I realized […]
I just love the grass cutting dies but I try not to spend money on ALL THE THINGS. So I figured out a way to get the same look with my Silhouette machine. And I’m sharing a freebie with you at the bottom of this post so you can do the same! I had this […]
My son was George Washington for a program at school. This layout is about how I created the costume with about a days notice from the teacher! I bought a consignment-shop suit jacket, sewed some ruffles on a shirt, and made a fleece white wig and ta-da we have a George Washington. I had two different […]
A couple of days ago I posted a freebie PNG to use as a template for making clouds and waves on your cards. Unfortunately I don’t have the designer version of Silhouette Studio so I can’t make an .svg file BUT it’s very easy to take a PNG and make it cut-worthy. Here is my […]
While making more cards using my cloud stencil (see yesterday’s post), I saw that this little whale would look cute going across the frame window. Once you have clouds down, it’s very easy to make waves. Just start from the bottom of the paper and go up. I use a heavier hand with the ink […]
I admit it, I love a corny joke. Since there are so many “funny” jokes involving animals, I joined my stamp sets and my jokes for some “punny” cards. Enjoy! Click the image to go to the Etsy product page for the answer to the joke.
If you follow my Instagram account you may have seen all these layouts before. But I wanted to share them again because they are featured this month in the Simple Scrapper member magazine, Spark. I was so honored when Jennifer Wilson asked if they could use the layouts as inspiration for the templates/sketches exclusive to Simple […]
Hello again! While I’ve been *kinda* regularly blogging over at my other blogs, this one here has been very much ignored. But I’m planning on making this right here my main blog to share my projects, freebies, etc. We’ll see how I do. And here it is for May 2017, a free mini kit for […]
I’m a big fan of Digital Design Essentials kits so when Gena started a new blog devoted to challenges, I jumped in. To play along, you simply subscribe to her email newsletter (no longer available), download and use the free templates she sends out, and post your completed layout. Here is my layout using one […]
(This post contains affiliate links for Simple Scrapper – We help scrapbookers focus on what matters most.) This week I am participating in the Simple Scrapper “Start Fresh” event. The event itself is short but the preparation it brings should carry me through the year. This class was kinda meant for me as I get […]
The other day I was reading a new post on the Scotty Girl Designs blog and was really moved by her willingness to talk about her struggles with depression. I’m not sure if it was sympathy, admiration or a connection but I was drawn to creating a page using her kits. I suppose the melancholy […]
Anita from Anita Designs came out with a gorgeous kit last week. I quickly found this baby photo of my youngest son and started to use the kit along with a template from Scotty Girl Designs to make this page. I didn’t have a story to tell, just wanted to play! And, well, that baby […]
I have done more scrapping this month then my entire scrap “career”. I think it’s been all the inspiration over at The Digital Press where I help with their Facebook and Pinterest pages. I’m very grateful this year to have been able to work for them and also for Simple Scrapper. I have often been overwhelmed with […]
I am very, very slowly catching up with this year’s Project Life album. Very slowly. This is week #34 which was back in August. KIT: Cloudy With A Chance of Happiness collab by Amanda Yi and Cornelia Designs

Before Your Story is a 6-week, online course. [I’ve updated links in this post to go to Jennifer’s website, Simple Scrapper as her class is no longer available at […]
In which I share my opinion on the “pinning handmade products on Pinterest as DIY” controversy. Jane* is a crafty person and she luvs Pinterest. She also loves perusing through all the gorgeous handmade items for sale on Etsy. She finds things she likes, says to herself “I can make that!” and pins it to […]
