It all began over 15 or so months ago. It seems like yesterday. The PRODUCTS are as great today as they were back then. I feel super blessed to be a part of such a talented group of DT Members. I wanted to post a positive post as this week has been a difficult one for me. Struggling with High Blood Pressure and at the same time struggled with my computer getting my videos to post properly was a challenge. smiles Today I actually did 3 separate edits and 3 separate voiceovers that took much of my day. huge smiles I did a HAUL video from Shopping last Friday and now I will do another Tuesday Haul video next because I needed to get away from another stressful computer situation and simply SHOP.  To keep a sweet spirit and great attitude while praying for an answer was easy. I just asked the Lord to keep me safe as I jumped in my F150 and went on a HAUL Shopping Spree and enjoyed a lovely visit with Brenda the owner of Stamplicity. I came home yesterday with enough supplies to keep me busy for some time. teehee I was now ready to face another computer issue. Apple Support stayed on the line with me to get things sorted out today. I will post the Haul video soon. smile Thank you for your prayers and thank you to Apple Support when I needed them. What a Blessing.

Haul # 1 and a little shared surprise for you to enjoy!

Good evening my friends. I do hope everyone is having a great start to their week. I am sharing this fun-filled tutorial with you as a Part 1. The reason for sharing this small haul is I can't wait any longer for other orders to arrive so I could do the tutorial in one video. You know how excited I get when I purchase even the smallest order. I have gone so long without ordering and as you know I have been shopping in my stash for months. I thought it was high time I order some things I have wanted and some I had needed.

You know I needed an Electronic Die Cutting Machine after selling my Gemini. I ordered it in hopes of having it to share with the large cutting dies that came first. hahaha Well, I came home today and sitting on my porch was the wonderful machine I want to show you. I have a few things arriving this week so I will try to wait until they arrive and do the entire haul then. I don't do many haul videos due to the fact I wanted to pull from my stash to create and use what I have before buying more.

To bring you up to date LDRS Creative has a new Release out and everyone is so excited to show you the projects that were made with the Release. Please check some of the Release Product Creations here.

1.     New Release with Angie Hunt of LDRS Creative

Oh, Ballet from Scrap Mir Collection PICTURE ENVELOPE JOURNAL

Good evening my friends and as always a warm welcome to my Craft Room. I was inspired by a Youtube project I watched and decided to create my own version of a 2 large and 2 small Envelope Journal that could house picture memories. In another tutorial at Christmas, I showed you the beautiful papers that my friend EMMA mailed me from France. Emma asked me to create projects using the beautiful Collections from SCRAP MIR. The paper Collection I chose to use in this Envelope Journal was the lovely " Oh, Ballet 12 X 12, 8 X 8 paper packs, ephemera, chipboard cutouts, metal buttons and so much more in this one collection.

This project I used the 8 X 8 papers and matching cutouts to create my Picture ENVELOPE Journal.
