I’m so thankful that you’re here Brandy. I need your videos to get some brain work. I’ve got some issues from my time in the Military and your voice teaching us to craft soothes my brain. 🧡🧡🧡 you!!
Thank you for your service. I used to work with military and my husband did 20 years as an A10 pilot. He refuses to admit to any issues from his service, but I can tell they affect him. Brandy is a great creator and with my MS and CRPS, my brain has issues, too.
Now I know why I have saved my favorite calendars! I found one from 1984, the yr.our daughter was born. I’m thinking of using a couple of pages to use as a background in a shadowbox. Thank you once again Brandy! You’re the best! 🥰🫶🏻 Your tips are crafters gold!
Love all of the projects and ideas ..... one idea that I wanted to share about the pieces that aren't food safe ...... if you wanted to use them for food you could cover them with plastic wrap before putting down your edibles and then they would be safe to eat and you can still show off one of your beautifully crafted risers or cutting boards.
I think I would have painted the background a different color to help highlight the birdhouse and birds. Love you Brandy, thanks for all of the wonderful inspiration ❤
Welp you’ve done it again lol… I absolutely love them all ❤❤❤.. I love watching you, you are simply amazing, thank you so much for sharing and being you ❤. Good luck on your move into your new home hopefully you’ll give us a viewing 😊
Love all of the projects. The last one I maybe have paint the background black, or blue, maybe even put some trees in the background with snow on them. Or you could even put Christmas wrapping paper as a background. For the edge maybe some lace would be fun. Still loved them all.❤
I’m so glad you showed the torn pages one. Was going to burn the edges of some cards I got but was worried about it burning too much. Torn pages and wax-yes! Thank you! ❤
For the winter bird house I would use Fabric Tac for the ribbon. I junk journal use Fabric tac for must of my journals. I would also us some Decoart dimensional snow and then add folkart sparkles paint. Love your videos thanks for all your inspiration.
I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for any spooky calendars and such, maybe napkins. I loved a lot of these, especially the bird box, and that country sign. I'd make it my own with spooky images, and black lace, of course! I always smile at the antique wax use and comments. I'm definitely not a fan of the aged look on most things, but you always tempt me into wanting to try it. LOVE your channel, and I wish I could help you reach your goal, but most of my friends are stitchers, not crafters so there's no one to really share these with!
I loved everything you made. What would I do? Find a picture of a branch or paint one so that it would look like it was hanging. I would definitely ink around the paper, I think it gives more dimension , like my friend Kelly says, and I think a fun trim in green or red, like a fringe or a pompom trim. since it is decorative I would not finish the back, unless people would be able to see the back. If they could, I would just paint it. Thanks for sharing with us Brandy!
I definitely agree with you about outlining images. It just makes things look so much more "finished" I am a HUGE fan of Reptile Adhesive that I get from Amazon. It's white like a school glue and dries clear. It's SUPER strong (as it was originally made for glueing tile!) and is a woman owned company!! 🥰 I've used it on so many different types of crafts and the bond has never failed!
Beautiful projects! I love them all! Love the Christmas riser! Think maybe a light sprinkle of a fine glitter to the snow. I would also paint the bottom the same color as the top and of course a light distressing with the antique wax! A lot of tips and awesome inspirations!
I love the look of the antique wax on the wood. I think the last piece would look great that way instead of the white background. I also like some kind of rope or jute trim like in the winter pic, instead of the red ribbon. Just a thought. It’s beautiful as is of course. 🍁
I really enjoy your projects! As for the last one, the outlining is much better. It makes it stand out. I don't know if I would want a different background, but it does need some texture or dimension somehow. I think I would paint the bottom rim of the stand to match the ribbon trim. Keep it going! You're inspirational!
I loved your video on crafting with a calendar and hope you do more videos using a calendar and greeting cards. What calendar did you use? I LOVED ALL THE PRINTS.
Hi Brandy. I loved that little blue basket! It looked like a pair of jeans with a belt. 😊 I'm curious about the winter sign, did you decide to add anything to that little lip in front of the image? It looked unfinished. Love how you caught the deer as it was entering the woods.😉 Stay safe.
I think you would really enjoy some Iron Orchid Designs transfers, probably their paint inlays too 😂 Do you watch Ellen J Goods or The Provincial Farmhouse? Ellen is how I learned about IOD products.😊
I have more calendars than Carter has little liver pills so thank you for this one (I don't know who Carter is or why he has a lot of those or even what a little liver pill is but as much as I've heard that in my life, I assumed he had a lot!😂)! Can't pick a favorite, as usual, but love them all in their own uniqueness 💖. I settled in to the fact a very long time ago that I'm eclectic. Not in a wild way, I still want things to coordinate or come together somehow but it's still eclectic...& I'm ok with that. I just can't seem to settle into 1 particular style 😊. Definitely leave the red bird in my opinion, I'd change the background, probably add some decorative or small lace trim (like the DT one) instead of ribbon, & probably add a little more around it to fill in the space more & I like it to pop more so I'd do something around the edges of the paper on this one. Especially around my centerpoint if I was adding more (i.e. Christmas trees or something of that nature since we can mix & match our pages if we want). I'd just personally like it to be "warmer".
I loved all of these. Would you know, I have some of those exact calendar images, mine are from a 2020 Boys Town one. On the Christmas riser, I think I would have centered the bird house and used a ruffled type ribbon around the edge. Also, I love antiquing wax, gives projects character.
For the last project....it entirely depends on the day and the mood/ effect I'm going for. There are endless possibilities. As it is I'd age the background ( I'd use soy sauce.... you'd do antique wax)....in the end it's always enjoy, experiment, use what works for you!

Thanks Tammy!
My favorite is the basket.
Mine, too!
Thank you!
The box is beautiful, I love your creativity.
Thank you so much!
You amaze me girl. I think you could do a craft with glue, popsicle sticks and newspapers.😊
Ha! Thanks!
I really like them all but the wooden box 📦 ❤😊
Thanks Marilyn!
I never thought to use a calender. Good job.
Thanks!
Love all of them. Not going to pick one. Good job. Thanks for the inspiration.

Do you watch Ellen J Goods or The Provincial Farmhouse?
Ellen is how I learned about IOD products.😊
No I don’t really make time to watch other creators much. There are just too many I love and I’d have to watch all day to get it in. Know what I mean?
Thank you for more great content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Love, love love it!!
So glad!
I have a calendar I bought that has dark Goddesses on it! Been looking g for projects for them! Need to figure out the right pieces for them.
Wonderful!
I've made gift tags out of calendars and seed catalogs.
How fun, I bet they are incredible!
On the last one antiquing wax and I would use red lace.
Nice!
Love these DIYs! You make everything look so easy!😂 Question: would you still use mod podge glue to attach calendar page to galvanized ? Thanks❣️
Yes you can!
❤❤

the wood paper on the Owl is upside down
I love watching you make things. I get lots of ideas. Did you hurt your left arm?? Looks like a big bruise on it
Yes, there is a bruise but it’s fine. Thanks for watching!
