ABOUT ME

I have a passion for paper crafting! Scrapbooks and cards are creative and heartfelt ways I express myself and connect with others. As a long-distance Grandma, documenting memories of my children and grandkids is especially meaningful. I also love creating and sending beautiful cards. There’s something magical about receiving a handmade card in the mailbox, isn't there?

I’m a proud dog mom to two aging Shih Tzus, Hamlet and Horatio. As an avid reader, I love immersing myself in a great mystery /suspense book. Visiting my family is a cherished activity, and I have a soft spot for Disney—its magic never fails to captivate me. While I enjoy cooking and baking, the cleanup afterward isn’t my favorite part. 

I truly love to connect with others and assist in any way I can to help them achieve the memory keeping or cardmaking results they want. 

 

Here are a few ideas and tips to enhance your paper crafting endeavors:
 

Scrapbooking:
  • Organize your photos and mementos chronologically or by themes (e.g., vacations, family gatherings, milestones).
  • Use acid-free and archival-quality materials to preserve your memories.
  • Incorporate journaling to capture the stories behind the photos.
  • Experiment with different layouts, embellishments, and techniques to make each page unique.
Card Making:
  • Personalize cards for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or just to brighten someone’s day.
  • Consider using die-cut shapes, stamps, and embossing folders to add texture and dimension.
  • Write heartfelt messages inside the cards.
  • Explore various card sizes and folding styles (e.g., gatefold, pop-up, shaker cards).
Long-Distance Grandparenting:
  • Send handmade cards or small paper crafts to your grandchildren. They’ll cherish these thoughtful gestures.
  • Create a special scrapbook dedicated to your grandkids, documenting their growth, achievements, and funny anecdotes.
  • Purchase a crafting kit—one for yourself and another for your grandkids—and then put them together during a video call
 
Remember, paper crafting is all about expressing your creativity and spreading joy. Whether it’s a beautifully embellished scrapbook page or a handmade card, your creations will leave a lasting impact on those you love. I am here to help YOU! If you don't know where to start or are just looking for new friends to craft with, please reach out!


Happy crafting! heart
