Papercraft Haven and More

Well hello there!  Hope everyone is doing well!  Life is all over the place for me right now - and honestly, since my mom died - I haven't been able to create much at all.  Which means, I don't share much...  I need to get back to before mom died, when I could create!!!   Life is all about moving forward and fixing things in your life that are broken!  Papercraft Haven and More - is all about creating, finding out about who you are as you create, and making you as beautiful as can be - on the inside and out!  Papercraft Haven is YOUR haven to be YOU!   The "and MORE" part comes into play with the rest of my life - my handmade candles, my Mary Kay, and healing!   My candles are a work in progress; I love to create and put a nice smelling candle in my space to help my mood!  Add chocolate and a soda, and I am a happy girl!  Mary Kay has been in my life for around 2 years now, and I am so glad I was re-introduced to go t...

My mom was really creative, she sewed like you wouldn't believe!  Me, I papercraft - make cards, mini albums, wall art, and scrapbooks.  She could look at something and then know how she wanted to make it.  I do that with my creating.   I am my mom's only daughter - to have a daughter - that had a daughter.  I am very proud of Terra and Zoey.  My kids were one thing I did right, let me tell you!  This picture was the time we surprised my mom with both her and Zoey, along with my sons!  Terra had her just before HER birthday in December, mom had cancer - so we had to surprise mom with my kids for Mother's Day!    Since my mom died, I haven't had the creativity that I used to.  It is as if it died when she died.  I have a hard time now picking up the paper, the stamps, and using the Cricut machine to create much of anything.  It sucks, let me tell you.  So, when I do have inspiration, I try to take advantage of it ...

Making your own cards does not take a lot!  8.5 x 11 cardstock, cut in half - and then purchase a box of envelopes - I get mine at Amazon!  Add patterned paper in various colors and themes, and you have one-of-a-kind cards for your friends and family!   I also use scraps for the most part!  I do use a 12 x 12 sheet at times with a One Sheet Wonder template!  There are some awesome ideas on Pinterest, check out my page here !  With scraps, you can find really fun colors to use together that normally doesn't go together, it just matches well! With my cards, for the most part I don't put a saying on the inside of the card.  I like for people to personalize it to who they are giving the card to!  If I have a saying to go in it, I let my customers decide what they want!    I use different die cuts for different things.  Or I combine a die cuts and punches to make the card more unique!  You can get a few basic shapes and use the...
