I just like makin' stuff
Hi friends! We’re all quarantined in this together, so I thought I’d do my part by making a fun freebie x-stitch pattern for you. Hope this serves as an enjoyable distraction. Click the link below for the PDF pattern.

Happy crafting!
Junk journaling (aka, my new favorite thing).
I’ve recently found joy creating junk journals and I love the endless variety of ways they can be created and constructed. This special 22 page journal was created using the Vintage Flower Sellers’ printable kit by Kelly’s Crafts by Kelly on Etsy. I also used lots of recycled materials and odds and ends to bring it to life.
You can view the entire tutorial on my YouTube channel.
I’ll show you how I created and bound this special book. 🙂
It’s also available for sale in my Etsy shop here (only one available).
Thank you so much for crafting with me! Please subscribe to my blog and YouTube channel for updates! Happy crafting! xoxo
Welcome! What a “lucky” day to be here! I have a fun YouTube video detailing the step-by-step process for making this fancy vintage-inspired St. Patrick’s Day card and folio.
I love vintage style everything, but these colors really are some of my favorites to work with.
This special greeting card is also fully embellished inside with pockets, banners, tags, and more!
Here’s a printable collage I made for you, if you’d like to make this card as well (or just play with some fun St. Patrick’s Day ephemera):
For some of the other products used, please check out the following photo links:
Hope you have just as much fun with this card and tutorial as I did making it.
Please keep in touch, and thanks for crafting with me today! xoxo

I love using vintage looking accents in my cards and scrapbook pages.
I’ve learned several ways to dye my ribbons and trims, using various ink and paint brands and am happy to share this trick with you!
Here are some examples of cards I’ve made using my hand dyed seam binding:
Here are the supplies used in the video:

When I found this Bo Bunny collection that had my name as the collection title, I just had to pick it up! I love the French country look of this yellow and blue paper pad:
I used lots of yellow/blue/white flowers from 49 and Market. I love their flowers, since many of them come with greenery as well.
I love working with collection pads when making scrapbook layouts and cards because I know I’ll have lots of coordinating papers to choose from, making craft time super efficient! 🙂
I have these, along with lots of other premade scrapbook pages, available in my eBay shop.
Please let me know if there are other collections or products you’d like to see highlighted in future blog posts. Thanks so much for stopping by!
