Posted by megamay (Megan): I love making cards! LOL - I have no idea when things changed from me saying that I don't enjoy making them, am not any good at it, and only do it because I 'have' to, but now I really do like it! I love that I can make a card in a short amount of time, which allows me to fit something creative into my day even when I am busy. I also enjoy giving handmade cards.

Posted by ChrissyTina (Christina): A lot of people ask what the point of an ATC is.  An artist trading card is kind of like your “calling card” only without the contact information.  Other artists actually trade and collect them and it’s not hard to find swaps going on involving ATCs. This is my first time making ATCs, and I’ll be honest with you.  For me, it was a challenge to work on

Posted by carrie123 (Carrie): I am sure many of you are feeling the same way that I am...sad to see summer come to an end.  Although I am sad, I am happy to see fall arrive.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  Not too cold, not too hot.  I love the crisp air and that certain smell that fall brings, not to mention how beautiful the trees look with all the leaves changing colors.

Posted by ChrissyTina (Christina): The latest trend in altered items has caught me by surprise!  Birdhouses!  I remember when I first saw these, I honestly wasn't that interested in them.  And then I gave them a second look.  All of the sudden I just had to do one!  And then one turned into two and two into three until I had four of them done- one for each of my kids. Now when it comes

Posted by happayscrappay (Rachel): If you have thought about hand stitching on your pages or projects, then the Sew Easy by We R Memory Keepers is the tool for you. The tool is designed to perfectly fit in your hand and when rolled across paper placed on top of the piercing mat, places perfectly splaced holes in your paper.   The rest is up to you - just fill in the holes with thread of your

Posted by 4peasinourpod (Pam): The fair.  As children (and some of us adults!) those words strike joy and anticipation into our hearts.  I LOVE the fair.  The highlight of the summer with my kids is a day at our Wisconsin State Fair.  We have a standing tradition of dropping EVERYTHING for a day at the fair.   It is intoxicating.  The food, the animals, the smells, the atmosphere.  Add in

Posted by bluejeans7 (Angela): I know that some of us have a hard time scrapping "themed" lines and a zoo line can be very hard to work with.  I think that Bo Bunny does a beautiful job with the Zoology line.  I love all the different animal print pattern papers, plus the other zoo patterns that go so well with them.   All of the embellishments are great!  You have cardstock stickers,

Posted by FurBaby_Mom (Amy): This line was made for me!!!  Okay, anything Doodlebug was made for me, but this line in particular.  The great thing about Doodlebug is that it appeals to the cutesy and the non-cutesy folks (I fall into the first category!) so it's really versatile.  I've also become a frugal scrapper and my goal with these projects was to use ONE sheet of stickers and ONE

I ordered anyway and I'm so happy I did!   There are also a lot of blues and greens in this
