Pay It Forward: Inspired by Tracie Fox Creative

- **ETA: I will (try to) add a photo of the completed mini flip-fold later today.
This video is the epitome of “squirrel “. In it I answer viewer questions from my previous video, I share the fabulous idea Tracie had of promoting new TH-cam channels (,or, in my case, Tracie Fox DT member channels) and I show how I make a mini flip journal using nothing but scraps.
*I will come back and add the channel names/links. (Truth) I find it a whole lot easier to add and edit after the video has uploaded.
Thank you for watching and happy creating.

(This is a new channel, but Pam is not new to paper crafting. I recently purchased one of her journals and it is fabulous. Her idea in this video to use C9 lightbulb die cuts is freaking brilliant!)
Fun! You would have been a fav teacher. I always learn so much from each “squirrel skerry.”
LOL! I guess that is the point of a good squirrel. Learn, or try, something new!
Oh Cori, you make me chuckle with your "squirrel." Actually I love it when you go down the rabbit holes, and I would still be watching and listening if your videos ran 2 hours & would love every minute of it. I have been paper crafting for many years, and you still give me so many ideas and a lot of enlightenment with your "squirrels." I hope you will continue with this type videos. I love them!
"Quality" entertainment, free of charge, right here 😊 Thank you Nancy and Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
Love your “squirrel “. This is one of my favorite sayings. Thanks for being you.
Team Squirrel! Thank you Lauradelle and happy creating 💗
I love your videos Cori. Don't ever apologise for squirreling. We learn so much from it. And, using the Laminater to dry items and get bubbles out of glue, well that is fantastic. I am going to have to try and find mine and dust it off. Thanks for being you. xx
And thank you for being you, Sue. I adore you and your channel and all that you add to this amazing hobby. Bless you and happy creating!
Oh, Miss Cori, you worry way too much! I wish you didn't feel that you have to apologize so much. These videos are a treasure to us. You, in your process, share so much information that is valuable, and I, for one, am always inspired. I love the laminating trick, as I had been turned off of using a glue stick because my projects would come apart, and I was always trying to repair with other glues. Thanks for "being yourself".
Thank you Susan. It's always my goal to keep a variety of creative people in mind, and I know that many only have small patches of time to watch videos, which others have a bit more open schedule and prefer longer videos. Balance. I just need to remind myself to find a balance. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh my gawd, sooo cute, that little folio!
Thank you 😊
So glad to meet a fellow “squirrel”! 😉 LOL!
Team Squirrel! Hmmmmm, more to come on that 😊
I'm going back and watching your old videos. So many wonderful tips and that mini is adorable! Your squirrels find a delightful path to go down; always interesting and usually educational. I feel like I'm sitting across from you at the table, when you are talking and walking the squirrel. Maybe I enjoy it so much because I have my own herd of squirrels! Lol. You are so delightful! Thank you very much!
🤣 and now I see a squirrel on a leash in my head! Thank you Geri!
Cory, I love your channel and even wish sometimes that your videos were longer. You always say you are taking to long in a video. I just love listening to you. I love your teaching skills. This last week, well on the 19th actually, I lost my son as he died in his sleep and to occupy my mind I turned on your videos. I went thru all the flips, flaps and folds. I’m now starting on the scrap busters. You have really been there for me this last week and thought you should know. So don’t ever think that you are not interesting and people don’t really listen or enjoy your teaching. We are out here!!! And I really appreciate you!
Oh Sharon, I am so very sorry to hear that! I have two sons, as well as a son-in-law and I can only imagine how much your heart aches right now. I'm happy that my videos have provided a distraction and may God bless you with many, many happy memories of your son that ease the ache you are experiencing.
You always share so much valuable info with us that time wise it’s difficult to fit it into a short video. Do I care? No way! I love learning with you! Thank you! You have “Payed it forward” as you often do and I appreciate your generosity as I’m sure those ladies of the channels mentioned do! You’ve got me excited for the New Year and being able to follow your collaboration!!! Happy Thanksgiving, Cori, and I hope you have family time to enjoy and give thanks together. 😀💞
Thank you Keryn. It's good for me to see/hear that different viewers have varying video preferences and to keep those in mind. Happy creating to you!
Cori-you just make me laugh! I love your videos, the longer the better. The squirrel moments and jumping down the rabbit holes- too funny. Of course, I appreciate your craft with me videos and you are so inspiring to me. Thank you for being so ……….you! 💗
Thank you Wendy. I'm always happy to hear that something I said or did sparked an idea or made this wonderful hobby just a bit easier. Bless you and happy creating!
Going down the rabbit hole is always fun and interesting. Love the pay it forward idea. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure Lori. I'm happy to hear you find my squirrel adventures fun and interesting 😊
Your art is brilliant. We all rise on the shoulders of others but we still need to pat ourselves on the back. Thank you for taking your journey and taking so many of us with you.
Thank you Lyn 😊
TY! this was such FUN!!!! Love the steps on how you made the mini book too!! I too could NOT stop lol every time you said SQUIRREL!! That's me in a NUTSHELL!!! Especially when it comes to CRAFTING!!! Very easily distracted!! Feels sooooo GOOD to know I'm not ALONE!! Hope you had a BLESSED Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you, it was wonderful and I hope yours was as well. It sounds like Team Squirrel is quite large. Vive la squirrel 🐿💕
I do love longer videos. This was great!!!!
Thank you, Jama 😊
I'm a fan of squirrels. Lol! I got several great tips and ideas while you were squirreling. Thanks for sharing and paying it forward.
Thank you Louise. Team Squirrel, 2022 ❤️
My ears always perk up when you say Shipshewana, Indiana. I live in Goshen, which is just a bit southwest of there. Always enjoy the days I shop there. I love your videos! You have so many great ideas, and I always get inspired. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Kathy and hmmmmm. I will definitely spend some time in Goshen on my Spring trip to IN. I'd love to hear about your favorite places to visit there! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 💗
Happy Thanksgiving Cori and family. You are a real asset, and person of integrity.
Thank you and a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours 💗
Thank you for the excellent description of supplies. I am a vintage/antiques collector too. Love your selection of wooden drawers. ❤️❤️❤️ Shipshawana auction is a fun fun day. Sounds like a great time with you ladies and your collaboration. Count me in.
Connie
Aren’t wooden drawers just happy things? And a day in Shipshewana is a guaranteed good time. I’m happy to hear you’ll be joining us!
Thank you for all the info. Love learning new things. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
How fun it was to sit and listen to your excitement and your ideas! Look forward to what's coming! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Nancy and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. There is more coming, along with the strong probability of a squirrel or two 😊
I could careless how long the video is. I was prepping a Christmas project, and it was nice to watch & listen as I worked. Thanks for the info & entertainment. 😊!
LOL! Thank you. I'm happy to hear that I provided some work place enjoyment 😊
Oh, have the squirrel syndrome, what to do it all and buy thing and forget where I saw it made. Love, love all your vintage storage. During the stay at home time redid my craft stuff and repurpose all my vintage goodies. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
Team Squirrel, 2022. I've always liked old, cool things but have only found ways to incorporate them in my craft world in the last few years. I love saving the old stuff!
Fabulous video Cori, love to see all your vintage storage drawers and how you put things together. Your rabbit holes are a fun place to follow you into lol ☺️
LOL! Oh Gaye, can you imagine the trouble we would get into if we squirreled and rabbit-holed together?! It's probably a good thing that there is a big pond between us 😊
I really love your ‘squirrel’, such a change from the run of the mill. I also love the long video. So much more info comes from it. You are so kind to pay it forward, there are so many channels out there and so many crafters looking to find inspiration. Keep on squirrelling. 😊
Team Squirrel 2022. It's a thing 😊 Thank you and happy creating!
Thanks for all Your inspiration and information I personally love a long videos
Thank you Cindy. Maybe I need to try to offer both long and short videos. Something for anyone interested 😊
I scrapbooked from early 90s. Have tons of paper & lots to embellish with... Using it up!
Me too friend, me too. I love that we can use our collected and beloved papers in new and different ways. Happy creating!
So pretty. Heading out to make a bunch of these! TYFS and for paying it forward. =)
They were a lot of fun! I sent out three, but I've got more ready to mail. Time... must find more time 😊
I love your work your so inspiring ❤ your. Voice is so calming even when your a little frustrated keep up the great work
Thank you Connie 😊
You are not alone w/ the Scrap Issues. They become endless.
Good Morning Cori, I just finished watching the Tracie video that you mentioned . I love love watching everything that you do, your such a good teacher. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person that purchases items to try new methods and just haven’t had the time to do it. I’m afraid that in my case it’s a bit of impulse buying until I actually use it, then at least I can justify the purchase. Have a great Holiday.
Maybe it will be a movement... squirrel 2022!
I love that teeny tiny trifold! By paying it forward I subscribed to Moira and Kitts corner and commented on their videos. Moira gave me a heart as an acknowledgment! And checked out their videos some of which I saved. They are wonderful! I never knew that folding could result in so many fun and different ideas. I’m gonna try to make the tiny one. I saved all your other “folds” videos. You are correct in saying to be yourself when you’re collaging or making these fun things. I tried to do a few like Patty pockets or like Rachel of Roxy Creations and once I figured out how to do a collage I just used my own stuff and expressed myself in how I collaged it. And you know what? Most of them turned out pretty good! Who’d a thunk it? I sure don’t know how you manage to teach full-time and do these collage videos. Thanks for your insights and creativity.
Thank you Christine and I’m happy to hear that you’ve been able to take a concept and make it your own. That’s when it really gets fun!
Thanks for talking about the squirrels. I started following the junk journal/art/journal community during the pandemic and it was a constant bombardment of things I absolutely had to do. So I have lots of supplies that it seems I never have time to get around to using. I think I have found my comfort zone and I have learned which channels are just infomercials. This little folio is a great adaptation of the concept and sometimes the best videos are not the concise instructional, although I generally prefer them.
I hear you Victoria! I understand the need and purpose for infomericals, but that's not my thing. I'm happiest in my teach-the-things comfort zone, but I remind myself that it's (occasionally...) good to spread my wings.
I’m trying to replace the plastic too! Love the sewing machine drawers!
Aren't they just happy things? I've been using old metal tool boxes and first aide kits too. So much happy in those things. Enjoy!
Cori as always, thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial!!!! 😁
Thabbk you Sandra 😊
love the little book, Thanks
LOVE LOVE LOVE these little guys- soooo C😎😎L
Late to the party- out of the “squirrel” loop- please to explain 🤷🏻♀️🤓🤗
Squirrel is simply that. You start walking in one direction, you see something or think of something, you get sidetracked and whammo. You’re off on a tangent and doing something other than what you intended. Squirrels do that all the time… darting to and fro…. Hence, squirrel 🐿
Thank you for the mention, love your little book. 💖
Thank you for the incredible inspiration! Your accordion journal is beautiful and you are an asset to Tracie's DT. Bless you and happy creating!
@@CoriDahmen 💕💕💕
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Thanks you for jumping in and paying it forward…Would it not be fabulous if we really could get more of this happening! LOVE watching you! Got to ask, if your heat tool is old, HOW is it so clean??? Cant wait for the collab, going to be so much fun…thanks for bringing us together! Xx Hugs to you, love ya lady xxx
Love you right back! And the clean heat tool? A) I don't use it nearly a soften as I should and B) I'm a neat freak when and wherever possible. I've been known to wipe down my heat tool with a baby wipe. I would so love it if more joined in. What a beautiful time of the year to spread a bit of happiness.
Thanks for this "Pay it Forward" video. I have learned a lot from your tutorials. Since I am just learning about junk journalling, I especially like seeing the tools and how you store them. It is also helpful that you introduce us to other links to videos that we might otherwise never find. You inspire me.
Welcome to the wonderful world of junk journaling 🤗 enjoy your adventures 📚💌📖😎
Thank you Sue and welcome! Ask questions, try new things and remember, it's only paper.
You are so funny and a beautiful artist. I love your work.
Thank you Olga💗
This was a great video, it seems like you are so much like me. I get sidetracked all the time. I love knowing your process on how you do things and what you use. Thanks for being you.
Thank you Samantha and, well, long live Team Squirrel 💗
Love this project, I've been so busy creating Christmas I am behind. Moira and Debbie are awesome and such amazing creators. I Think I will make this in a Christmas theme such a great little project. I tend to go squirrel a lot I just think it means we have very creative minds and they are always thinking. My Quick projects are never quick...lol. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and amen! My quick projects are never, ever quick. Moira and Debbie are fabulous and they help make Tracie's wonderful digitals shine!
The creative process is like an octopus, ideas lead to ideas. If not, we'd all just copy each other and our projects would all be the same. 'Squirrel' away!
Love that Jill. Team Squirrel. Thank you and happy creating!
Thanks for sharing all your great ideas Cori. I loved this video - it truly shows how to go through the creative process to get the finish project. You gave me so many useful ideas it didn't matter how long the video was - I was not paying attention to time but listening to your ideas and just watching you create. Thank you for the "squirrels" because I think we all have them when we are creating something. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts because I really do appreciate your videos and creativity. Also thank you suggesting the other channels to watch.
Thank you Mello. I'm going to go with "embrace the Squirrel" and aren't those ladies amazing?! Happy watching and happy creating to you!
Thank you, Cori, for paying it forward to my channel! I’m honored! Also loved watching your video and will definitely being testing the laminator trick. Unless I . . . squirrel!
LOL! Team Squirrel! It happens, all too frequently for me. Thank you for being on Tracie's DT and for sharing your gorgeous makes. You are truly gifted and I am really looking forward to that incredible green bug book living in my treasured journal collection.
Thank you for this long video! I was getting ready for thanksgiving and you helped me get through my to do list! Look forward to supporting your class soon.
Thank you Laurel and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
i learn so much from you! thank you!
You are so welcome!
I use every craft I have done in my life to enhance my journals. At 80, I have a lot. I came to junk journal in the last year but I have supplies from all those crafts of the paast. I do wish I could get to goodwill and used book stores because I lost custody of all my old books. Sad story. Your fellow Tacoman now living in Port Orchard. Born at and worked at St Joe's Hospital as a psych nurse.
Bless your heart. I worked in an ED for several years so I know all too well how difficult your job was. Thank you for caring for those in great need 💕
I’m addicted to your videos. Checked out your pay it forward recommendations and added them to my subscriptions. I’m looking for someone to show me how to do the beeswax on paper. I know you’ve mentioned it in one of your tutorials, which I need to find so I know what/where to purchase. I have waxed the fronts abs backs of some of my mini journals with layers of paraffin wax, then heat with blow dryer. It’s a nice effect and strengthens the paper. But I’d like to try the beeswax.
Me too! I watched a video about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. I'll see if I can't find it and I'll share my efforts in a quick video, as well as post a link for the one who teaches me 😊
I watched every minute and enjoyed! I think it was all helpful and fun - Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to lots more, whether short or long ❤️
Thank you Jamie. "Helpful" is always the goal!
❤I might be an odd duck…but, I like the long videos, I enjoy seeing the whole process of Everything. Oh, and, I so love your commentary, not to mention all the squirrels 🐿🐿🐿
LOL! Thank you Kelley and long live Team Squirrel!
You crack me up, Cori! I followed along with all of your squirrels and managed to make a little book along with you. I look forward to the January 1st collaboration. How exciting! But so sad to hear about Mr. Leo 😟 ….I hadn’t heard. What a loss….my heart goes out to Wendy. I will send her some love.
It broke my heart too Paula. Glad you are sending some love Wendy's way. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 💗
I do enjoy a good process tutorial when don well once in awhile. This is one of them. I squirrel too, and I have frustrated myself because of it. This whole video helped me so much. Thank you.
Thank you Debbie. Happy squirreling and Thanksgiving to you!
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.
It was my pleasure Tracy 💗
So enjoy your process !
Thank you Melanie 💗
I enjoyed watching the full hour no worries.
Thank you Pat 💗
Wow so lovely work😍
Thank you Bianca!
Thank you so much for all your recommendations. I love the gorilla glue stick! Now I have to plug in my laminator. I'm also waiting on the Seth apter embossing powder. You are encouraging my collection of supplies.
LOL! I'm going to go with the idea that I'm just encouraging you to have more fun as you create 😊
@@CoriDahmen yes you are truly inspiring!
Cori, I love this video! If this is an example of squirrel then my goal for next year is to be more squirrel like. 😉😊🦋
Woo Hoo! Team Squirrel 2022. It's a thing 😊
I LOVE how you use "squirrel" as a verb!! And I can totally relate!!! I have also been loving your videos!!! Can't wait for the New Year's Day collab!!
Thank you and yep. I tell my students that squirrel is one of those noun/verb words 😊
Another great video! Thanks for all your tips and tricks uncovered in your squirrel adventures…l love it! I made myself quit buying tools I thought I would use. Because, well, I usually didn’t use them. I still have a package of paper clay I have never opened! Bought it years ago! Looking forward to the initial collaboration. Happy Thanksgiving
I so hear y ou Pam! I'm held out on buying a Minc... but I do keep looking at it! Maybe we can challenge each other in 2022 to use some of those under-loved purchases. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
I have gone off on so many tangents and purchased so many tools and supplies that I have not used yet!!! We must be kindred spirits
It definitely sounds like it. Maybe we challenge ourselves in 2022 to at least give a try to each of our squirrel purchases 🐿 (PS, that is supposed to be a squirrel emoji. Rather disappointing 😐)
@@CoriDahmen I accept the challenge! Love the squirrel
Cori, you made me laugh with your Squirreliness - you speak like how my thoughts go, lol. And then you made me cry when you mentioned the passing of Wendy’s Leo. I paused your video and raced to my computer to check on that. I don’t usually look at TH-cam on a computer so I don’t see Community posts. Thank you for letting me know and thank you for another informative video. 😘
🐱🙏🏼 dear Leo 💔
I hear you. Leo was, in my mind anyway, the unofficial JJ world mascot and an immortal kitty. RIP Leo and long live the squirrel.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Cori 🦃 I listened/watched this video while baking my Thanksgiving pies 😉 I love how you "squirrel"❣❣❣❣ I am the master at rabbit trailing... and have passed this trait onto my daughter..makes for quite the interesting convos between us at times. I went over to both Moira's and Debbie's videos...WoW! What talent!! Thank you for steering us over their way 😘 Really looking forward to the Initial Kickoff to 2022 on New Year's Day!!!! P.S. Love your new microphone❣❣❣ My old ears really appreciate it 😋 Blessings~~~
Thank you Deb and a very happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm glad to hear you visited those channels... so much incredible inspiration and amazing skill. I'm happy to hear that the microphone is helping 😊
Cori I LOVED this video…please don’t apologize for a long video…I love every minute. Oh how I relate to squirreling! I like the idea Of a squirrel project…..wow do I have a lot of them!
LOL! Long live Team Squirrel.
@@CoriDahmen hope you love the little squirrel I sent you..I thot he was perfect to keep an eye on you
@@MzGriz I ADORE him!!! There was no note or tag in the box, so I had no idea where he came from. Thank you so very much for that adorable little mascot!!!
@@CoriDahmen squirrels happen! You’re so welcome
Oh squirrel!
Always learn new things when watching your videos. Squirrel?? Me to
#Teamsquirrel❤️
What am I most thankful for today?? YOU my wonderfulI TH-cam video creative idea-sharer..I too am smiling all the way from Boise to Nampa as I enjoy squirrelly tidbits! Forget any grammer/spell check, as it's a holiday.
Happy and safe travels to you as you enjoy this beautiful day of gratitude. Thank you, Sarah Hale and Abraham Lincoln, for making Thanksgiving a holiday.
I do the same thing!!! I am fairly new to your channel and love your videos and creativity!!!
Thank you and welcome!
I had to pause the video to comment on the use of your Etsy shop to purchase books for your students. As a 20+ year teacher, I understand the struggle to provide your students with materials they need for learning. I commend you on your willingness to put so much love and labor into giving your students books. At the same time, it is a sad reflection on our society that you have to do this when the school and lager community should be providing for our children’s education. They are the future and well worth the investment by our communities; the burden should not be place on teachers to work a second job in order to adequately supply our schools. That said, I’ll be looking for your Etsy shop to open so I can help out as well as treat myself to some of your beautiful work.
Thank yu Diana, both for the kind comments and for your service as a teacher. I *know* kids don't need to have a physical book in their hands to listen and learn and experience them, but I sure think it helps many and I want them to have that option. I just wish this year wasn't so rough and that I had more time available to stock and sell items to buy the kids books for our novel studies. I will keep you all posted and thank you very much for your interest.
Cori - this was actually a great video. As a long time crafter . . . I still learn a few new things and ideas from you. I recently bought my laminator just to make one project as a gift for my sister. My friend said " now what are you going to use that for" - well now I have answers for her. Thanks so much. I have so many unfinished projects because I "squirrel" to often my son calls me the queen of unfinished projects. I am trying to get better, honestly.
Thank you Jen and hmmmmm. Maybe we can encourage each other to finish some of those UFO's in 2022. I'm trying to get better too, and maybe we can do that by encouraging one another 💗
Love your videos! Although it took me a time to understand your squirrel concept 😉...my English is not too good I'm afraid... looking very much forward to the kickoff meeting on 2022! Stay safe
Thank you and I’m looking forward to that too!
Wow you don't shy away from big projects do you? It's very much appreciate though .😁😁😁. Tim Holtz (and Stamperia) is bad for my bank balance🙊. Oh I subscribe to SO many people🙈. Nice idea though to share the love. Editing sounds like a pain in the bum! Wonder if the caps work on my needle tip bottles. Oh stamperia soft clay is great for moulds lol sorry! Oh the rabbit holes we fall down! I need a chucky tool. I'm clucking on all your links after this 😄 make room in that rabbit hole 😱. I do have stuff I haven't used so it's my 2022 mission! I agree, I call everything memory keepers now. I'm jealous of your stamps😄. Your 'track' was very serendipitous! Love th itty bitty jj (we call them micro jj's). Lol love your enthusiasm. Oh I'm having surgery on 30th December so have lots of time for videos while resting 😁😁😁. I think serendipity is today's word! Great video! Sorry for the giant comment 🙈. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖
LOL! Your squirrel response made my heart happy and was very easy to follow (good sign? Sure, I'm going with that!) Best wishes for a successful surgery and for quick, complete healing. Have a serendipitous day!
Lol Thank you. It's only gallbladder removal so I should be out the same day followed by lots of crafting, oops I mean resting🙊🙊🙊
Fun 🤩 😎
Thank you!
💜💜💜
I'm looking forward to the initials New Years Day kickoff for 2022. Please let us know when you know the hashtag for sure. P.S. I'm also a squirreler :-) Happy Thanksgiving.
Team Squirrel. I believe our hashtag is going to be: #initiallyyou2022
Because no one has said they hate it and because the teacher part of my likes the rhyme 😊
Hi Cori, love your channel 😍. I am learning so much so thank you for all the detail. I love the glue and ink holder. Can I ask where you got that from?
Thank you Farah and welcome. I make/made that ink box. If you're interested in one just send me an email to cdscrappin@aol.com and I'll give you some details 😊
Tissue is Tim Holtz
Thank you. I thought it might be, but I appreciate the confirmation. I bet if I said "Tim Holtz" with each product I use I'd be correct about 90% of the time!
I was so upset watching your video, trying to make the thing you do at the end, do you have it anywhere, i am half way making it, i really would like to finish it please help
I'm so sorry, I'm just seeing this! What specifically are you looking for? I'm happy to help if I can.
I just started trying to use glue sticks, I’m using the scotch brand. I have noticed that after a day or so maybe not even that long, the paper lifts. It does not stay stuck down. What am I doing wrong?
Even though I do use them, I stick by my belief that glue sticks are for kindergartners. Honestly, I only use them to hold something in place while I make a permanent adhesion another way (usually through sewing). I like Uhu, since I can no longer get the Gorilla glue sticks, but even that doesn't hold as well as I'd like.
what is your etsy shop name. I am looking for it. is it me or is Etsy temperamental?
It is www.etsy.com/shop/CReatingWithScraps
It's empty right now. Hopefully after Christmas I will have time to stock it with the things I've made.
ok. I will keep my eyes peeled. happy days to you. ~maria
Wendy lost Leo? I knew she lost her dog Stella but haven't heard about Leo. How sad my heart is breaking for her.
Both in such a short time. My heart aches for her.
I was hoping you would reconsider telling the name of the channel that reminded you of scrapbooking stuff? I know you don't want to be negative and I would just say this. Inspiration can come from anywhere - whether you like something and want to do it or you don't like it and want to change it. I would still like to know because I'm new to this art form and I don't know what you're talking about so I'd like to go see it. Maybe you can help build a new channel - maybe that person will get better - etc...
Rosa Kelly, RTS Scrapbooking and Follow the paper trail are some better known scrapbook makers that come to mind. I haven't watched them in several years, so I don't know if they're still making videos. None of these ladies are the one I was referring to, but they make in a similar manner. I hope that helps and happy creating!
We learn by our mistakes and others, so thanks for not editing.
You are singing my song! I tell that to my students every single day. Mistakes are proof that you're learning and that your brain is growing!
