Happy New Year! What a fun year we had. I hope you guys will stay with me in 2025 and invite your other crafty friends to join in.   The start of the new year is always a time to reflect on what happened and then set some goals for the new year.  One of those for me this year is to communicate with you more.  What that means to me is this...I'll send out a monthly newsletter with all the available news and information from Stampin' Up!© and weekly blog posts to share information and projects with you.  If you are not familiar, let me share with you some of my other social media platforms that may be of interest to you. If you like to share your projects through card swaps, you may consider joining my Sweets Signatures Card Swap group . There are at least three swaps every month...so much to choose from. I go live on Facebook in my In Da Craft Room With Caron Group regularly to share projects and tutorial videos (don't worry, I often share these videos on YouTub...

This is the card I designed as a guide to the project I'll be creating for you during the hop. The supplies for both projects will be listed. Because it was a clean and simple card, I chose to use mostly basic white cardstock and added pops of color. In the sample, I used Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, and a little Crumb...

  I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go live on Facebook on Friday, 8/12/22...usually, at the end of the week, I'm pretty wiped out and really just wanna go to bed.  But, I've decided to make a change at least once per week.   I chose to CAS the Wisteria Wonder Bundle in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and I love how both projects turned out...don't you? I absolutely loved how this envelope turned out... Want to watch me make them?  Check out the YouTube video Have you followed my Facebook page?  Well, why not?  I'm getting ready to "ramp" up and craft more live on the page...I sure could use the company.  Click HERE to view and follow my page...and don't forget to sign up to receive my newsletters.
