Christmas Card Inspiration 2024

It's that time of the year again to start making your holiday cards. Some of you may have started already but if not, I got some resources for you. I know many of you love cardmaking and scrapbooking, so I am excited to share this information with you. 

In this blog post I will share my Christmas card video playlist, a Michaels card event and five YouTube holiday card tutorials to watch from Gina K., Simon Hurley and others.

From "Julie Nutting Doll Stamp & Christmas Card Tutorial" Video

First of all, I have a playlist of several Christmas card video tutorials I created a few years ago. The ideas are still good so I thought I would share them. You will learn how to use Julie Nutting Doll stamps, paints, patterned papers, lady stencil and even flowers to make wonderful keepsake cards.

My First Diary and 3 Journaling Styles

Welcome! Today's post is about my experience with journaling and three of my favorite styles.  This post was written May 21, 2020. Journaling has been a part of my life since my pre-teen years. Like most girls, I kept a diary and hid it in a secret place. I think I got my first one as a gift and wrote about daily and special events. I remember there was this cute boy I met. I was too shy to tell anyone I liked him so I wrote about it in my diary. It was a safe place to share these new and wonderful feelings. I gotta find that journal and check it out. (Off to go find it!) Look, I found my precious little diary! Although it smells dusty and the paper has yellowed, my young words and thoughts are so sweet! Here is what I wrote May 21st. I was on a school trip to a camp called Rawhide when I was in the 6th grade, I think. "Today at Rawride and my horses name was Chinadoll. Elizabeth was so mean to sha-jauna and them. And she was flirting." LOL! This is so fu...

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. Today's blog post is all about Julie Nutting Doll Stamps. I have six of them and decided to dress them up for Christmas. In this post, you will learn quick and easy ways to create their outfits, skin color and hair. So cute! These would make pretty slimline greeting cards or use them in a mini album. Take a look. (Click on the picture for a larger view.) Visit my YouTube channel for similar tutorials. Link below. Nora (left) was the easiest. I just used makers for her hair and shoes. Then, patterned paper for her coat. Jayla is all dressed with pearl earrings, patterned paper coat and brown markers for her skin and hair. Also, I used a red glitter gel pen for shoes. Phoebe was created with a brown marker for skin and a black marker for hair. Then, pearls for the necklace. The dress was red cardstock and candy patterned papers. Jessi is all dolled up with a patterned paper coat with green gems as buttons. Then, I used a pink...
