I am a procrastinator...not sure where I got it from, but I take my time in getting things done!  I hate that about myself too...  So, to change that (one of my intentions for next year) I decided to spend some time in making birthday cards for my own friends and family for next year!  I don't want to have to worry about not having a birthday card to mail or give away!  Some will be customized to the recipient, others...just ready to go if I need one!   Your challenge for today: Start to make a list of cards you want to make and for whom.  If you have a specific example for someone, sketch it out or link it up somehow! Get the supplies you need to create your cards available in one place.  Find the background papers, get the cards ready to go and folded!   Start to look at examples of cards you want to make and sketch them out or link them up!   I have a lot of birthday's this year...and no matter what, everyone will...

The day after Christmas - did you take a ton of pictures, and are you now ready to work on an album with me?  Today, we are getting ready to start to create your own Christmas project!!!  I had a wonderful time the past few years in making a paper bag album for some people in my family, so I decided this year, to make one for ME this time!  We will start to plan out your album, purchase supplies (at a discount now) if you need to, and get to creating our albums!   Decide what you want your project to be.  Do you want to do a mini album, a larger style album, or something different?  Do you have papers or embellishments you have already that you want to use, or do you need to purchase anything?   What about the embellishments you want to use for your project?  Do you have something in mind already?   Start to put together the items you want to create the embellishments.  Do you have stamps, paper piecing patterns, or anything ...

I have been honored to be on the Creative Paperclay Design Team for the past few years!  I have learned much from my team mates, let me tell you!  My creativity has changed because of this product...and for that I am really appreciative!  So, I am trying out again - and this time have decided to do a video, to show you all how easy this product is to work with!  So, grab your favorite drink - and lets get started!  Blue/Green Hat I at first, was going to give these to my kids - but the package went before I could get them finished, so keep them I will!  I can always get something done for them for next year - that is more personalized to them!  I love how they all  turned out, and my tree really loves them!!   Snowflake (picture does NOT do it justice) Supplies used: Creative Paperclay Rubber stamps Silent Setter Xacto knife Cup White paint Luminart paint -        Pretty Peridot ...

Well, the year is almost done...I almost can't believe how fast the time has gone this year!  So much has happened this past year, and so much creatively didn't get done!  This next year - absolutely NOT!  So, grab your calendar, your favorite organizing utensils (pen/paper, planner, smartphone, etc) and lets get started!   Lets start with your calendar for the next 6 weeks, until the end of January!  Do you have any events that you need to plan for, holidays , birthdays, or any other dates to put down th at you need to get things d one for ?  Then go through the calendar until the end of March - what other things do you have tha t you need to add to your creating or to your regular calendar ?  Also look at holiday's, birthday 's, events of all kinds - and get them added Lastly go throug h your calen dar until the end of June .  What all do you have com ing up during th is next 6 months that you need to plan for ?  Are there any...

When I make a project, I keep on making things until the paper is gone...  The scraps from other projects make different things than the first one, just by using different colors! Today's project - note cards done using the same paper from yesterday, only different colors for the base of the cards!  I love how they turned out!   Each card is different - yet they all match!  Add a saying stamp set, and you can get 4 different cards in no time!  The cost goes down too, when you are using scraps of paper and what you have at home already!  Learn to shop smart, save your scraps from other projects, and simply have fun at creating!   Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme

Yesterday in this post, you got the directions to fold the mini album we are going to work on today!  I love the papers I used for this project, and all the fun things I have created to go with the scraps I had left over too!  One thing I wanted to really share with you - is what all you can do with a few sheets of paper and embellishments!   Supply list: File folder folded and ready to go Ink pad (to match your project) Die cuts (I used Cricut cartridge, George and Basic Shapes) Papers and cardstock that match Ribbon Buckle Hot glue gun Adhesive for paper (your choice)  Directions: Step one:  Take your folded file folder - and the ink pad you selected, and go around the edges of each of the folds of the entire file folder.  Just the edges, the rest will be covered with paper in the next steps!      Step two:  Decide which papers you want to use for the whole project, starting with the front and back cover....

So this is the project that sparked all of the other projects I have shared the past few days!  I absolutely love how this turned out, and wanted to share the basic directions for creating one of your own.  This one is up for sale, if y ou want to purchase it, let me kn ow!     Supply list: File folder Patterned and solid papers that match Various die cuts Ribbon Buckle (Optional) Brown ink pad (Can substitute colors) The hardest part for me was folding the file folder the right way!  Because of that reason, we are going to have this post be continued tomorrow - and today's directions is for folding the file folder the right way, and getting ready for tomorrow's post for finishing it up!  Make sure you keep all the scrap pieces of paper, so you can create even more awesome pieces after you are done with this one!   Directions: Step one:  Taking the file folder op en it up like the p hoto below.  Step two:  Fold t...
