How To Make A U-Hinge Album and Fun Facts!

I adore papercraft projects. They bring back memories of my Nana. At Easter, Nana created handmade paper crafted Easter baskets for us with the most beautiful easter eggs. She instilled in me so much...one was a desire to create handmade items because of how her gifts of herself made me feel. 

FUN FACT: Today is National Egg Day, I didn't even know that was a thing, ha-ha!

Tricia, from Club Scrap shares great techniques for creating this sweet u-hinge embellished paper crafted photo album. She makes it look so simple to create this project using minimal supplies, organized methods and beautifully finished embellishments to really wow your recipient. She even shows in the beginning of the video, a simplified method to keep your project moving along by sorting your supplies early on.Thanks Tricia!

Swapping Creating Sharing Yeah!!

 Back in November of 2011 I found this cool spot on the internet, Swap-bot. I shared it on my Pinterest board too! Swap-Bot  brings people together...there are alot of likeminded people out there in our big old world…people who share an interest in the same stuff I like! Another thing we similarly share in common is we like to see what others are doing…so much so that we look for opportunities to swap…hence SWAP-BOT. Currently I am swapping in these swaps.

 I've swapped lots of others... one I swapped in was Crafting Emails and the idea is to share an email FULL of craftiness :) I had a great time preparing my email, I LOVE sharing what I do, my best tips, etc. One of my partners wrote back asking for some pics of one of my crafts, Rake Knitting so I thought I’d post a picture of my first Rake Knitting project while sharing a bit about SWAP-BOT since I’m having so much fun with it.
