Howdy!

Welcome to my blog! I don't know yet how this all goes, but thought I would give it a try. I have been making mini scrapbooks and cards for about 1 year now. I have learned so many things along the way and hope to share them all with you.

I must say when I first started making mini scrapbooks, I hadn't the slightest clue what I was doing. All I knew is I wanted to make beautiful scrapbooks that everyone would ohh and ahh over. I watched a lot of tutorials on youtube, day after day, and after some time I was ready to cut, tape and glue everything! Well, that didn't turn out at all how I had planned. My very first mini scrapbook fell apart! I was so embarrassed, I wanted to cry! I had used some cheap double sided tape to adhere the pages to the binding. Big Mistake! So I took the scrapbook apart and decided I had to do it the right way. I went to my favorite craft store, purchased some double sided super tacky tape and started all over. If there is one thing I have learned through all of this it is to NOT cut corners. If you watch/read a tutorial and it calls for a certain thing...use it. There are some things you can get away with using a homemade or cheaper version (ie: sprays, embellishments, inking) but not adhesives.

I am by far a pro in the paper crafting world and I am still learning. Many, many times I have failed and have had to start all over. With my projects, I hope that I will be able to inspire at least one person to grab hold of their creative side and make something beautiful and interesting!

Follow along with me on this insane, yet rewarding, journey!
