Yes, going to try and scrap this weekend.
I'm into: watching unboxing videos on Youtube.

Listening to podcasts while I'm in my craft room. And they don't necessarily need to be related to creativity/scrapbooking/card making. Just something to keep my mind busy while my hands are busy so I actually stay in the room and get something done.

I am really into BRUSH LETTERING right now! I don't know if I'll ever get good at it, but I bought the Kelly Creates book at M's (with a 55% coupon) and a few tombow markers, and I'm trying!!! It's relaxing...like colouring. And I am improving.

Citrus twist ephemera packs. They make putting together spreads so easy.

I like have "noise" for lack of a better word too. I am currently going through the show "When Calls the heart" but am almost done so I will need something else in the background soon!

It's relaxing...like colouring. And I am improving. I saw those and found them intriguing but since I stink (and get stressed out with the "adult" coloring I passed). Which one would you recommend for a true beginner with a very low frustration level?

Citrus twist ephemera packs. They make putting together spreads so easy. I am all about ephemera packs lately too. At the end of last year I bought the rainbow colored small drawers that Ms has to sit on your desk so I can always dip into those and add this nad that to my creations. Tell me why you like CT ones so much!

My first thought was I AM REALLY INTO... Benedryl and Advil. I've been sick this week. But if I keep it to crafty things, this week I've been happy just playing with my fine point black Sharpie. I'm easy to please. I've been making lots of Zentangles and doodles and lists.

Tell me why you like CT ones so much! that sounds like a fantastic ephemera set up! I love the CT ones so much because they have the perfect little elements for project life at the perfect size. Lots of labels, lots of words that you can just quickly staple to a photo, bits and pieces like that.

Well, so far I bought 6 new Distress Oxide Inks, some new alcohol inks and that funky new case to store them in, the Tonic Glass Media Mat along with a replacement non-stick mat for the glass mat... all on pre-order but it looks like the alcohol and distress inks will be shipping soon! And I would bet that by the end of the weekend I will also have purchased a Scan-n-Cut... not necessarily a new release, but believe it or not, I had no idea what it did until this week! As for number one LOVE... all of them...

Using stuff up from my stash. I used a shade of blue cardstock yesterday that I got in a kit that I was sure would be the last thing standing in my stash. I've recently pulled out quite a few things that I'm happy to see on pages: the last of a set of BG alpha stickers and a pack of felt thickers, a Hambly transparency, and a really old piece of SS paper from their very first travel collection (when everything they did was brown and distressed).

I am really into watching Karen Burniston videos, and dreaming about acquiring some of her dies. Have been thinking of ways to take my cards up a notch, adding shaker and/or interactive elements and KB is part of that plan.
Am also excited about some Minc supplies I have ordered, and looking forward to playing with foils.

I’m into organizing my supplies. I have so much stuff but it’s all super old. I had it packed away for years. I retired a year ago and decided it was time to enjoy this hobby again. So I’ve gone through boxes and boxes of scrappy stuff and I’m using my dining room as my work space. I’ve made some purchases to update my tools a bit and now I’m deep into making card sets for my friends and family. It’s slow going but I am having so much fun. I may never leave the house again!

And making myself use my dies and stamps.
I hope to scrap at least a little this weekend (I work on Saturdays, but Sunday is mine!)

Who are you drooling over on the unboxing? I started getting my weeks prepped and pics are printed. Hoping to get them started this weekend. Ive been into lots of pp and wood veneer, haven't done much shopping though. Except I got some ink and cute one canoe two embellies at js online clearance for 2 bucks. Been watching process videos, browsing Pinterest for ideas and bingewatching Blacklist on Netflix while scrapping. I've never listened to a podcast, wouldn't even know where to look, but I'd love some scrappy chat.

I never jumped on the foil (or Minc) train but I sure hope you have lots of fun with your new goodies!

Welcome back! I am so glad it is bringing you joy again and what a great way to spread joy to others thru cards! I, too, have been organizing. I took all the cardstock packaging out of my enamel/puffy stickers yesterday and it made a HUGE difference. The basket I kept it all in was STUFFED now there is TONS of room!
