Paper Crafting -

By

I have been creating paper crafts for almost 26 years now, my daughter Terra's birth started it all for me!  I made her birth announcements out of a Disney stamp and card stock!  Now, not only do I make cards, but I also create fun scrapbook projects - especially mini albums!  I have a lot of supplies let me tell you...and I have learned a few things along the way!  
  1. You really truly don't need EVERYTHING you see!  Make sure when you do spend money on anything....you will use it more than once!  
  2. Keep a list of the things you do own, so you don't purchase double!  If you do this when you are first starting out, you won't have to go back and do this when you have a bunch of supplies!  
  3. Refer back to #1 - you really DON'T need each and every "thing" out there - pick and choose and have a reason for the purchase!  If you do purchase supplies - make sure it is things you will use over and over again, like cardstock, adhesive, punches, stamps - things like this!  
  4. Spend time going to crops or classes in your local area!  Whether you find a Stampin' Up consultant, a Close to My Heart consultant - go to a local craft store and see what their schedule is - find SOMETHING to go to and have fun!  
Everyone creates for different reasons - I used mine for a therapy tool versus going to therapy!  I discovered a talent for it - and a LOVE to create!  For whatever reason you love to create, have fun - bring the kids and family involved - and create fun memories for everyone!
