Hello friends! I wanted to pop in here this Sunday to talk about my Patreon community as well as share a sneak peek of a card I made in a recent exclusive YouTube Live for my top tier Patrons.
We are building a community of paper crafting enthusiasts where we can craft, chat, and share. As a Patron you get early access to content, early access to videos, destash sales before anyone else sees it (top tier Patrons only), monthly members-only Livestreams (top tier Patrons only), "behind the scenes" exclusives, shout out in the end credits of my YouTube videos, a yearly birthday handmade card from me, and more!

Happy weekend, friends! It's been a week. (Amiright?!) I never got around to posting last Friday's YouTube Live (January 14, 2022) so I thought I'd share it here today in case you missed it! Gnomes, mushroom homes, and Doodlebug patterned paper... can't go wrong with that combo!

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
Happy Friday, friends! This morning I went Live over on YouTube and shared how to turn the Simon Says Stamp Winter Trees Embossing Folder into a spring/summer themed tree with a bit of ink blending and Copic Marker trickery! 😉An adorable Colorado Craft Company image from the Big Love Stamp Set is the perfect image to complete this sweet birthday scene!
