A Simple Father's Day Card

Hi crafty friends! 

I just wanted to make a quick post about the simple Father's Day card I made. You can watch my video  to see all the products I used, most of which are inexpensive items from Michaels! I also tried out my new Lawn Fawn interlocking backdrops stamp. I found it for 50% off at Two Peas in a Bucket and I think it may still be on sale (click here to see)! 

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Days of Lists

At the end of April I stumbled upon an awesome post on Two Peas (click here to see that post) that showed a 30 days of lists project by one of their members.  She did a fantastic job & inspired me to make my own book for the month of May!  I chose papers from my own stash (15 of all different sizes & colours) and made my own mini book. I bounded the book together using a paper piercer and embroidery thread & got to work! 

Now, let me make it clear that I did NOT work on this book everyday! I had a notebook where I kept my lists and I worked on a bunch of layouts all at once. This made the book much easier to keep up with for the whole month (I wish I had time to scrap every day but it just doesn't happen). 

I loved working on this project & I'm very happy with my end result! It will be a fun thing to look back on and read in the years to come. It would be interesting to make another book in a years time or even 5 years, and see how my thoughts change! 

If you want a more in depth look at my finished project take a look at my videos where I show you each page! 

I hope you like my finished book, & if you made a 30 days of lists project definitely leave a link in the comments so I can check it out! If you have any questions leave a comment :) 

Until my next crafty post,

Welcome to My Blog!

Hi friends & WELCOME to my new blog!!!!!

I decided to make this blog to go with my crafty You Tube channel MichLxo (you can click to go to my channel).  I realize some of you crafters prefer reading blogs over watching videos (& I like reading blogs as well). I thought this would be a good space to post any pictures to supplement my videos or to post small things that I wouldn't normally make a whole video for! 

For those of you who might have stumbled upon this video and don't know me, I'm a 25 (soon to be 26) year old teacher (OK, substitute teacher for now) who loves to try anything crafty. I've loved showing my creativity ever since I was a little girl, always drawing or making something! I tried scrapbooking during my high school years but it never stuck. This year my passion for scrapbooking, card making, & anything craft related has been sparked. I suppose you could say I found a little extra time on my hands on days I wasn't teaching, haha! I decided to start a You Tube channel to share my passion & I've been loving every minute of it! 

I'm a new blogger, but I love to learn & teach myself new things (this being one of them)! So bare with me as I learn the ropes! I love feedback & suggestions, please leave comments and tell me what you think! 

  

Thanks for reading!
