Stampin'Up! Butterfly Kisses | Pretty Paper Shares

Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper

With the beginning of our Annual Stampin'Up! Catalog back in May I lead a Pretty Paper Share between customers and demonstrators alike. I have enjoyed creating with these shares of papers. Here is one of the last ideas I made with one of the most beautiful papers in the catalog. 

Keep it Simple

Sometimes we hoard paper because is SO PRETTY we don't want to cut it or even use it. Let me reming you, paper is for using. :) So go ahead and find your pretty papers and get crafting! Many need to hear from you. Send a cheerful word and love well on one person today.

Dimensions

*To create this super cute cards I used the Hello Beautiful stamp set with its coordinating dies. You can see it below in my store. 

*Cut your Designer Series Paper at 5 1/4" x 4",

*Then cut again at 2 1/4" and use both sides of the paper to showcase in your cards. 

*Cardstock is cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4".

*Center die circle is cut and embossed at the same time. So pretty! 

*Stamp your sentiments and fuzzy cut some of the papers butterflies to embellish. 

*Last but not least, add a little bow with glue dots. Done!

Use your papers

Would you like to participate in my next Paper Shares? Send me a quick message here with the subject PAPER SHARES! Would love to hear from you.

2022 Craft Room Organization Tip# 1

Organizing Crafts.

During the month of June I lead an effort inside my Stampin'Up! team of creators the Blessed Stampers. We all did a bit of organizing. It was a great effort! I was able to tackle certain areas and develop new ways of keeping things in order. We called it our Decide, Declutter, Donate, Delight Event.

The Inevitable.

As usual after a time of crafting your Craft Table becomes a complete havoc. Can you tell? 

20 Minute Hack

I actually think I developed a good system to keep my areas in order during the month of June. I gave the 20-minute hack a try and time and time again it worked. At times may take me more than 20 minutes but setting the timer and getting to it actually helps me to focus and get my area clean. Below how I found my craft table. 

Getting back to stamping.

After what seemed like a LOOONG hiatus I am back stamping again. I got back from visiting my parents to complete 10 swaps for my team's Mini Catalog Swap lead by my friend Bobbi Olmstead. So inspiring. From there I had several events including my Paper Pumpkin Peeps monthly meeting. They are so encouraging. And now I don't lie to you, I am waking VERY early in the morning to enjoy a quiet time listening to my Bible app while I craft and pray for those I am preparing cards for. It is becoming one of my favorite times of the day. I have a long list of projects overdue so needless to say my table ended up a mess. Yeah, so bad! :/

Get In There.

Last night I simply got in there. Set my phone timer for 20 minutes and got my  used/inked stamps cleaned, card stock back to its place, clear blocks in its place, till the table went back looking pretty. I LOVE entering my crafting room and find it neat (at least the table right?). It is inviting. I am so blessed to have a wonderful room like this. I don't want to take it for granted. Thanks Jesus! 

Organization Tip #1 Simply Start.

I need to encourage you to simply start. The mess didn't happen in a day, so why expect to have it all pretty in one day. Go for it. Set a day, a time, and a timer. If able call a friend, chat with her while you pick up -thanks Maria ;) or listen to a fun podcast -I love Simple Scrapper- I'm sure you can find a fun organization episode as well, hehe! 

I love this quote from Zig Ziglar. Can be applied to our craft rooms as well! I encourage you to simply start.

Find THAT spot.

This was my first spot I decided to C.L.E.A.R. when I started organizing my room in June 2022. I HAD to declutter after I moved since ALL that had no place to go was thrown into this room. I had a baby and took me months to declutter.  I will share those pics another time. 

In the meantime, where is THAT spot that makes you crazy? This below was my sore spot. Start with a small spot. Take a pic of the before and after and get it done. EVEN if it takes you two week or more. Go little by little. 20 minutes here and there.

You Got This! 

Starting is the key. Having a simple system and a place for your more important tools helps. Here are the results of my 20 minutes effort. Loving my table and ready to tackle more projects. Stay tune.

Thanks for being in my blog today or reading it from your emails. You can subscribe to receive my next posts here! It is an honor to be able to cheer you up and connect you to the author of my joy, Jesus through what I do. Hugs!

In the Little Bits

August hello my dear

Summer is almost gone.

School is starting.

With that, routine will set in.

This mom of four is very happy.

My plan: to do just a little every day that I know pleases Him.

Giving God glory with the little bits

Some times I feel I only have little bits to give.

My time and energy can only cover so much.

Today I prayed God is glorified in the little bits. 

When I am not able to do as much I wish I could.

When I am limited by time or my own weakness.

God be glorified even in my little bits.

Help me to give you my best.

Refreshing. 

How refreshing when someone reminds you of your calling, your purpose, His BIG plan. 

Today, a guest speaker came to speak to church.

He asked the question, "What is your calling? Do you know it?"

In a instant I was brought to the answer. I've known it for quiet some time.

To cheer the broken-hearted and connect my friends to Jesus.

What is your superpower?

To start again. 

That was my answer a while back and how fitting for such a time as this.

I will start again.

Today I start blogging again.

Tomorrow Monday we start school at the Urrutia's household.

Soon videos will resume.

Where have you been?

Feels as if I just finished taxes, 

finished school evals, 

finished a stamps sale,

finished planning my daughter's Sweet 16th,

finished a great time with my parents and sister, 

finished laundry -to start again-, 

finished a Christian conference 

to simply start again.

Just Do It!

Yes, is a slogan.

But feels refreshing to simply say it. 

Do it again Lord.

Show me the way.

I will follow you. 

Photos.

My three (schooled) musketeers. 

I love them so much.

I scrapped these pages to present their school portfolios.

I love having my Stampin'Up! goodies available.

Now, is time to get back to them. 

See you This Week!
