Country Craft Creations Bonus Design Team Project, Roll With It Recipe Album Tutorial

 Hi all and welcome back! I have a project that has taken a while to do but so worth it. I created a recipe album with Carta Bella's "Roll With It" collection and you are going to love it. I made it big and it is full of pockets so that you can add memories, pictures, recipes...it will be a keepsake for your family for many many years to come.

This album is 7 3/4 x 8 1/2, has a 3 1/2" spine, and has 6 pages total. There is plenty of room to add many photos and recipes. In the video's description box I will have a list of videos I mention in the tutorial, a cut guide for chipboard and cardstock (the measurements for the patterned papers will be discussed in the tutorial), and links to products that I used for the project. Thanks so much for watching!!! If you have any questions please let me know because I am always available to help if you needed it.

Stay crafty, my friends!

I'VE BEEN BUSY!!

I'm so sorry, I have another catch up video.  I don't know where the time goes!  I have been so busy with design team projects and with craft fairs, and with work...I just don't have enough time in the day!

Here's the latest videos I have done.  I have a #craftygoals2024 video for May, two recipe projects, a video on what I did with the button dangles I have recently been obsessed with, and two shares of a design team package and a Virtual Retreat Package!

I hope you enjoy the videos and forgive me for being "late" for posting them.

I have some updating to do...

 Once again, I have fallen a little behind on the blog...but here is an update to what I have been up to.

This is my latest video.    It will be in parts, and it is using the magnificent collection, "Bountiful Blessings" from Country Craft Creations.  It's actually a remake of an old album I made before I was a designer for them.  I have updated it and revised it and I think it will be better than ever!  There is a lot of information in this video's description, so check it out and stay tuned because I have more on this one on the way.

This is a quick video on a project I made on a whim.  I raided my supplies and used a Dollar Tree heart shaped wand with a wooden spool and created this beauty!  Spooky, isn't it??

Here's an idea for a Halloween Treat Box that is quick and easy to make...check out how you can use up some scraps and make a fun little goodie container.

Then I have this video with a tutorial as well.  I used two separate kits from Your Creative Studio.  I altered an old 7 Gypsies notebook and then did a tutorial on my never ending album with some amazing tropical papers.  

I hope you enjoy these videos!!

Stay crafty, my friends!!

Recipe box project

 This last week has been mentally and physically brutal. My Ace is doing well, he is home from doggie ICU but still a sick pup. He is slowly getting better. Thank goodness my mom came to babysit while we had to work. (And work this week was so hard!!!). She is an absolute angel! 

 I tried to work on design team projects but my brain wasn’t able. I do have my next one ready to film, I think Monday. But I couldn’t work on the third. Sometimes to take my mind off of things and rest it a little I do tutorials from other designers. I decided to work on Jennifer Palmer’s Recipe Box. She is an amazing designer with Country Craft Creations.

https://youtu.be/ERROrChHG5c

It’s big enough to hold 8 1/2 x 11” printouts!!!

I had the perfect papers in my stash, and used Black Artisan Cardstock. When I was done I made a quick mini file with the leftovers.

 I had so many scraps I decided to make some patchwork paper sheets. Now I have 6 more 12x12 papers to play with!  I did a tutorial on how to do that here. 

https://youtu.be/qiQwWg3KGSE

Anyway, long story but I just wanted to share. Please check out her tutorial!  I love this recipe box!  

PS:  I think the mini file may become part of a larger project I see in my future...notes are sketched!  😎
