Hello Friends! You know what the new year means, right? It means it's time to get organized both in your home and in your crafty space. The Christmas decorations are down and put away in the attic, now I'm focusing on my studio.

Scrapbook.com has a couple of items that I am absolutely loving right now. The first is the Craft Caddy. This tote is perfect for storing those items that you're using right now. I'm using it as my "seasonal bag." There are three colors available but if the color you want is out of stock, just click the button so you can be notified as soon as that color is restocked.


Currently, I have Valentine's and spring themed stamps, stencils, rub-ons and dies in my caddy. I can set it on my craft desk and grab all of the products that I need super easily. And, you can move it around as you see fit. So, if I'm heading to my daughter's volleyball practice, I can take it with me, or if there are a few things I want to work on while I'm sitting in front the TV, I can do that as well. It's a great craft caddy!

Next, is an awesome Magnetic Glass Mat that is a great size and it's perfect to use the large magnets to hold your paper while you ink blend. This one is definitely a keeper and a tool that I will use each and every time I craft.


I certainly hope this post has inspired you to start making room for 2026 by tidying up and pulling out those spring themed supplies. You know the season will change before you know it, why not be prepared! LOL! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Happy New Year! Does anyone know how long you should continue to say Happy New Year?? Is it a week, a month, two months?? LOL! Anyway, I hope 2026 is already bringing you joy and creativity beyond measure!

Today, I have a bright and fun card to share. All products used are from Scrapbook.com,


For this card, I started by die cutting a piece of the beautiful patterned paper from the Watercolor paper pad. I used the Swiss Dots rectangle die to create that dotted pattern in the background. Next. I pulled out my mixed media cardstock to add some color using Lustre Brushes.


The sparkle of the lustre brushes is so pretty IRL! The photos do not do them justice! I die cut my rainbow using Nested Stitched Decorative Labels. Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Love You stamp set.


Lastly, I added a few die cut butterflies around my sentiment for a little flutter! Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026!! As I said in my previous post, I'm walking calmly and gently into the New Year! I started my year by attending a New Year's Eve church service and it just filled me spiritually. I feel refreshed and ready for what 2026 brings!


Today's card uses fun products from Scrapbook.com. I love the rub-ons at SBC, so I pulled out the metallic Polka Dot rub-ons for my background. Next, I heat embossed my sentiment and die cut it using the Wavy Circles die.


I adhered my wavy circle to the center of card and added a few Pops of Color for a little added sparkle and shine! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I wish you a creative start to 2026!

Hello Friends! The New Year is almost here and I am so ready for it! Not, that I want to jump or dive into 2026 with reckless abandon but rather walk into it calmly, at peace and ready to build on all of things that I accomplished in 2025.

There's something powerful about choosing calm, especially in a world that constantly asks us to hurry, react and do more. As 2026 begins. I'm not rushing in with loud declarations or packed resolutions. Instead, I'm choosing to walk forward calmly. With intention. With grace. With room to breathe.

For me, this year isn't about doing everything. It's about doing the right things, at the right pace.

When I think about the year ahead, I picture gentle mornings, creative time that isn't rushed, and space - space to reflect, to make, to rest and to grow. Sometimes growth happens quietly, one thoughtful step at a time. That's the energy I want to carry into 2026.

The two soft palette cards I'm sharing today reflect the same feeling. Muted colors, clean design and a sense of ease. They are a reminder that beauty doesn't need to shout, it can whisper and still be deeply felt. 



I hope these cards encourage you to pause for a moment. To breathe. To consider what your calm walk into the new year might look like.

As we step into 2026 together, my hope is this: That you give yourself permission to move slower. To choose thoughtfully. To create space for what truly matters. Here's to a year filled with intention, creativity and quiet joy.

Cheers to 2026!

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today, I'm sharing an uplifting fall card. All products used are from Scrapbook.com.


Isn't that a lovely sentiment? It's from the Uplifting Verses stamp set. I started this card by using patterned paper from the Cottage collection.


Next, I die cut two shapes from the Nested Morocco nested dies. Then, I used dies from the Cottage die set. I just love the shapes of those pumpkins! Lastly, I die cut the butterfly from the same die set and added those cute little die cut flowers to its wings.


I adhered everything to my card front, added a few Pops of Color and this card was done. I think this card will be great for someone who may be going through a tough time. I certainly plan to use it and hopefully it will put a smile on the recipient's face to know someone is thinking of them.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Yup, you read that I right, I have a scrapbook layout for you today! I have really been inspired to scrapbook lately and I am loving it! Today, I have a 6x8 single page layout to share with you.


Everything I used on this layout is from the Yuletide Collection from Scrapbook.com. I started with the patterned paper (isn't is gorgeous?!). It just gives you all the Christmas vibes!

Next, I did a little stamping with the coordinating stamp set. Next, I added my photo along with a rub-on in the upper left hand corner.


Lastly, I added some ephemera from Arden Studios and then added my sentiment to finish off my layout. So much fun!

Hello Friends! Today, I have a fun card to share using some new goodies from Scrapbook.com. 


So, I started this card by using the amazing Scalloped Block Die. The die creates the scallop rectangle and it cuts out the 6 squares you see on the card. I decided to use rub-ons for each of my squares.


After adding all of those adorable rub-ons, I adhered them with foam squares onto my card base. I just love how sweet this card turned out!
