My Instagram is all of my crafty stuff...scrapbook LO's, cards, mixed media/art journaling, knitting, traveler's notebook pages. I am reneeleecrafts Life has taken a big unexpected turn recently and I haven't had time for crafty stuff, but I am hoping to get back to it soon.

When I get overwhelmed by ideas, new techniques to try, and products I want, I make lists. Then, when I sit down in my craft corner, I pick one idea or technique to try. I don't go in order of the list, but decide either randomly or based on what I am in the mood to do. When I try new techniques, I most often try them on smaller projects like cards or ATC's, or a tag that I can use on a LO. For new products, I watch my list as I do projects and try new techniques and decide what I want to try first, what products can wait (do I already have something similar or that I can substitute). I also look at what can be bought local vs. online, and just try a product or two at a time. For organizing, when I first set up my craft corner it was a work in progress. As I used my craft space, I figured out what my go-to items are and keep those on my desk. Frequently used items are all easy access. Paper organization was based on how I scrap and the type of pp I prefer and how it is easiest for me to find what I want. Sketches have already been mentioned...I love a good sketch to get me started. Another thing that helps me is finding a challenge that is technique or product specific when I can't decide what I want to try or use.

I cut glitter paper with my Cricut all the time. I do use the deep cut blade, and have not had a problem with the glitter paper dulling the blade.

I have a couple packages of doilies, one white and one kraft, that are 3-4 inches. I've had them a while, and they came from a dollar bin. I usually alter them with stamping, inks, gelatos, etc. I also have a doily die that I bought at Hobby Lobby (with a coupon, of course!). I use it a lot more than I thought I would. I love that I always have that perfect doily to go with any project, especially cards. And I occasionally use my Cricut to cut doilies.

I have had a lot of rub ons go "bad". But I also have many that are still good despite spending years in my stash. Making Memories, Doodlebug, Basic Grey, BoBunny and Crate Paper are the brands I've had the best luck with.

I never stopped using eyelets! I don't use them often, and can't remember the last time I bought some, but I still love them:)

Depends on the size of the embellishment and/or what adhesive(s) are currently sitting on my desk. I have successfully used my Xyron X, mono green bottle, and ATG.

My current favorite is the Faber-Castell PITT artist pens. I got a set of the black, which has xs, s, med, and brush tip pens, from my DD when I got into mixed media. I love them so much I use them for all of my papercrafting not just mixed media stuff. The only white pen I've ever used is the Inkssentials.

Hmmm. I have always had fast shipping with ACOT. My last order with them, which was just a couple weeks ago, took a little longer than usual because I had 1 item that was marked "due to arrive at warehouse in xx days". But even that order was in my hands in 1 week...ordered on Sunday, shipped on Friday and much to my surprise arrived on Sunday. Hope you get it figured out and your order is on its way asap!

I've been doing it for years. I hate when I am just one page protector short for a project, and will do whatever I can to make what I do have work.

I've been buying glitter paper at Joanns. Mine has 12x12 and 8 1/2x11 in a nice variety of colors. It is Co'redinations/AC brand. It cuts beautifully with both my Cricut and manual die cutter/dies. Does not lose it's glitter either. Love that it cuts without getting glitter everywhere!

I am! Finishing up a 2 page LO I started last night. Just need to add journaling and a few embellishments. After that I am either going to start another LO or get messy with some mixed media in my art journal.

Is it stuck? I've not tried this myself, but read that putting a stuck punch in the freezer will help it release. Once you get it to release, try punching some foil to sharpen it and/or wax paper to prevent sticking. Also, once you get it to release check for small paper bits that may be stuck in the punch causing the issue.
