I'm baaaack!!!


Guess who’s dusting off the keyboard and diving back into the blog world? (Spoiler: It’s me!)

Life has been full, busy, and beautifully messy, but one thing I’ve missed? Sharing my love for scrapbooking, creativity, and memory-keeping with all of you. There’s something magical about turning moments into something tangible—pages filled with stories, laughter, and love. So, I’m bringing this blog back to life, ready to inspire, create, and connect. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just love a good DIY project, I can’t wait to share new ideas, tips, and a whole lot of creative fun!

If you’ve been following my crafty journey, you know how much I’ve loved sharing my passion for scrapbooking and memory-keeping. With Close to My Heart closing its doors, it felt like the end of an era—but creativity doesn’t stop there! I’m excited to announce that Ive been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for 8 months, and I hope to keep inspiring, teaching, and creating with you all.

Stampin’ Up! offers gorgeous papers, stamps, and tools that make crafting easy and fun, and I’m here to help you every step of the way—whether you need fresh ideas, help with memory-keeping, or just a place to connect with fellow creatives.

If you’re as excited as I am, drop a comment and let me know what you’d love to see! More tutorials? Scrapbooking challenges? Behind-the-scenes peeks? Let’s make this space a creative haven together!

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
