no rules, just happy crafting
I just found this card I made weeks ago and laughed – I guess someone will get it Mother’s Day 2014 (if I remember)…
I wish you a very lovely weekend – I will be spending mine with my girls doing all kinds of things including some fun outings, birthday parties, and hopefully a bit of crafty time too.

It is Thursday – and that means it is Camp Scrap countdown day!!
Today I’m sharing a peek at the last project I made for Camp Scrap. In fact, this project got finished, photos uploaded, and the final videos and handouts turned in just yesterday!!!
This project was a scary one because I’d never quite tried anything like it on a layout *and* I was recording my results as I made the page (for class) on video so I felt like y’all were watching me which added to the creative nervousness. But the thing is? You can’t find awesome new things without stretching and trying. Also: take the fear out! In this case, I made sure to use a photo I could always re-print if needed and I reminded myself “it’s just paper…” Luckily it turned out EXACTLY as I had hoped in my mind, and I’m excited that it will be part of the final mini-class on mixing up your mediums.
I’ve been working on Camp Scrap for about three months now. Yes guys, I worked for three months on a four week class. It takes a lot of time and thinking and sorting, then a lot of trying stuff and scrapping what doesn’t quite work and developing what does work, and creating and typing. LOTS of typing. 54 NEW projects just for Camp, 20+ videos, and a lot of typing later… it’s all ready for you. I am really excited about this class – and I hope you will be too!!
It is truly a labor of love, and I enjoy every minute of the process. Now that I’ve turned everything in to the BPC team, I can hardly wait for day 1 of class!!
As I continue the countdown to Camp Scrap I will now be sharing some tutorials and projects inspired by Camp Scrap, as well as a few more sneaky peeks too. If you’re in the mood for some crafty fun, I invite you to check out Camp Scrap! The class info can be found here.
I’m currently processing videos + turning in the very last of Camp Scrap materials! But I didn’t want to skip posting today, so I’m going to let my new BFF Olly entertain you.
Olly has been hanging here in my studio, keeping me motivated and inspired with his tunes. I’m listening to pretty much the whole album. Gotta love that.
crunch time! better go finish before my editor comes after me. 😉
When I remember to do so (haha) I want to try and highlight favorite supplies. Hre are three current favorites on my desk.
My Minds Eye Brads, Webster’s Pages (by Allison Kreft) trim, Hero Arts shadow ink in Navy
So guess what? Mondays with May is back over at the Simon Says Stamp blog! HOORAY!! I’m so excited to be sharing ideas, new exclusive projects, and generally crafting up a storm with my Simon pals. What could be better? Well this particular Monday I’ve blended the challenge for the week over at the challenge blog with my feature! Talk about multi-tasking crafty fun!
If you haven’t heard, scrapbooker extraordinare Kelly Purkey has a bi-monthly project kit as well as a line of exclusive products with Simon Says Stamp! I was inspired by these, as well as Kelly’s love of travel and good food when I set out to break into this (fabulous, and sadly sold out) kit. The good news on the sold out kit is that a) there will be new kit available soon and b) most of the items I used on this page are available in the shop individually.

These white letters are fantastic – I painted over mine to get the pink color!
“We were here” is going to be a favorite stamp I can already tell. Oh and those flat sequins. I can never get too many of those!
If you want more Kelly Purkey inspired awesomeness be sure to hop over to the Simon blog to see my other layout there.
