Papercraft Haven and More

When you are first starting out scrapbooking and making cards, you want your projects to look nice, but not take a lot of time to accomplish it!  You want to be able to learn how - without spending a lot of time doing it!  My beginner projects are meant to do just that - with you tweaking to what you have - or your own style!  For this project - I used one photo, with the age I was...and then 42 random things about me written on the two pages.   Basic supply list: 2 sheets background paper 2 sheet coordinating patterned paper 1 sheet (or scraps) white cardstock Scraps for punch's Rub-on's Daisy punch (can substitute) Brads Template for numbers Black fine tip marker Directions:   Step one:  Decide the "number" you are using and start to write down things to go with the theme you have selected.   Step two:  Matt one photo on patterned paper and white cardstock.   Step three:  If using a punch, punch 13 daisy's of 2 dif...

     I don't consider myself a "lucky" person...I have had my fair share of things I have been through in life.  I lost an ex-husband to suicide and my father to Alzheimer's disease both on 8/5 - which was 3 days after my birthday - 5 years apart.  I was involved in a tornado 6 days after the ex died - in Salt Lake City, Utah - where tornado's don't hit.
