12 DAYS OF DIGIS - Collab

Good morning, everyone!

Beginning today, I am jumping to a new track from our normal routine. 

For the next twelve days, I'm taking part in a collab between DearJulieJulie and CaraBrandonCreations. Each lady has created a 12 Days of Digis digital kit. Links are in the descriptiob box of the video as well as here below the video.

There are several of us elves helping with the collaboration. 

Each day we will take that day's numbered page from Julie and from Cara, mesh them together into beautiful creations. By the end of Day 12 we'll have plenty of lovely embellishments to fill a journal. I am doing mine as a 2-page spread each day so that on Day 13, we'll be doing a walk-through of the completed journal!

Then on Day 15, I'll begin my December Junk Journal Challenge. 

I do have the Pink Christmas that I still want to do but things got off track. I didn't get to work on things as I'd hoped while I was traveling.

Good news!

Kassie delivered beautiful twin girls on Saturday night between 11 and 11:30 p.m. Malina Ray came in first then Neomia Marie twenty minutes later. Everyone is doing well.

I have to brag on Kassie for just a moment. 9 months pregnant, due any day and this woman cooked her first ever Thanksgiving dinner for 6!  Talk about a can-do attitude! 

Okay. here's the introduction to the #12daysofdigis2020:

Here are the links to the two kits:

SHOUT OUT SATURDAY - Short and Sweet

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I'm still not home. I'm hiding outin a hotel trying to get some serious words written on the book before I head for home.

Today's video is short and sweet - Sweet because I show the SWEETEST TIME bundle from Stampin' Up! Okay.. it's more of a show and tell, but check out this fun bundle and order yours so when we're ready to play on December 5th, you can play along! Link for the bundle is in the description box of the video.

FRIDAY FREEBIE - Junk Journal Organization

Good morning, crafty friends!

Thank you for your patience while I spent time with Kassie and Matt. I've enjoyed getting to know the man she has chosen to have her children with, as well as his three from a previous marriage. As you read/ watch this today I am on my way back home. I'm stopping tonight to totally unwind and hopefully work on my writing. I stayed an extra day at Kassie's but I still want to be home by Sunday so that Bob and I can celebrate Thanksgiving before he heads back out on the boat Tuesday.

Today's video is all about how I have decided to organize the supplies for each current junk journal project. I'm using the ScrapRack tote that I bought over 15 years ago when I first met Tiffany Spalding and fell in love with The ScrapRack system.

Bob filmed the flip-through for me so that we could get the camera up high enough for you to see everything. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.

 

Creative Blessings!

TEN MINUTE TUESDAY - Life Is Beautiful!

 Good morning, crafters!

Quick post before I dive back in to working on my  novel. I'm at a hotel but need to check out in about 3 hours. Before I do, though, I want to get more words written as I won't have another chance until Thursday.

For this week's card, I'm using Life Is Beautiful. I finally decided I needed a bare tree stamp, This makes a perfect fall card as most of the leaves are gone from the trees here. I've listed the dimensions below the video.

SKETCH – SC283

MONTHLY CHALLENGE - Let's Make A Tassel

 Good morning, crafters!

Quick post this morning as I get ready to leave for a writer's retreat. 

I made the first of the fifteen elements... a tassel.

I wanted to make ROUND  paper beads but the process was too long for a single video so I'll come back to that technique.

Instead, I made a chipboard, charm, a paper charm and a strung bead charm.  Here's the video.

I'll see you back here tomorrow for Ten Minute Tuesday.

Creative Blessings!

SHOUT OUT SATURDAY - Mini Challenge in the Challenge #1

 Good morning, crafty friends!

We have another beautiful day in the Ozarks. Bob and a friend of ours is helping to get the new cover on the greenhouse, I've been doing some laundry. 

Okay, I've been up since 4:30 LOL 

I've finished the mini challenge, glued trim into the baby albums, put some stuff away, folded laundry, got loads of laundry in various stages and dry-canned twelve jars of baking soda. To say I'm ready for a nap at 10:15 a,m. is an understatement. Just not going to happen.

Last night when I filmed this video I had started on the 6 required elements for the Mini Challenge in the Challenge #1. Those are what I finished this morning and will be showing you those on Monday as well as making the tassel.

Here's the video:

I'll see you back here tomorrow for Stampin' Up! Sunday when we will be making Christmas cards.

Creative Blessings!

FRIDAY FREEBIE - My Kit for the #nftjjc

 Hi everyone!

Coming in way late today. Since we were gone all day yesterday, I didn't get the video recorded until this morning. Of course, after my 'free' time on the bandwidth so this fifteen minute video took 5 hours!!!! yeah, I've been behind on recording all week. That's changing. I'm going to record tomorrow's video right after supper - if not before and have it ready to go at O-dark-thirty tomorrow as it should. 

Here's a walk through of the items I'm using for my November Favorite Things Junk Journal Challenge:

I'm either doing the Mini Challenge #1 for tomorrow's video or one of the elements for the journal. I hope you'll come back and see!

Creative Blessings!
