Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!

The March 2022 Pawsome Stamps Release is now available!
Today I am sharing two spring-themed cards featuring no line coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, layered stenciling and text stamped backgrounds, and my favorite new Large Easter Basket Die from Simon Says Stamp. Mixing and matching products from many companies is one of my favorite ways to create a card(s)! I love that Pawsome Stamps is back with another darling seasonal bear. You can choose to customize the bear with bunny ears, bow tie, pearls, etc. or leave him as is and customize for other seasons and occasions! The Oopsy Daisy Stamp Set is a favorite of mine and I love coloring daisies to make them look "white" with easy shading! Keep watching/reading for all the details.
