A Kindler Gentler Way to Encourage Reading :)

For much of my life I had little self-control when it came to watching television. In fact, from 6th grade through 12th, my mother even eliminated television from the house to help me with my “addiction” (I don’t want to misuse this word, because...

Vintage and Clean and Simple ATCs

by CraftyPaws | Mar 31, 2014 | Cards and ATCs, Clean and Simple, Vintage

I have intentionally decided not to limit my crafting to any one particular style. Maybe it’s because I can’t make up my mind, but I think it is actually because I find all styles appealing in one way or another. So depending on my mood, the inspiration,...

What to make for a new mom-to-be when you aren’t up for a mini album project (which I never seem to be)? How about an easel frame card? They are quick and easy and super fun to give and receive. The easel frame card is simple to make. You just need one...
