Papertrey Ink hosted a live crafting event in Cincinnati August 24-25 to go along with their annual online Stamp-a-Faire. I was really excited when I heard about the option to attend in person. The only other live event was held in 2011 for the first ever Stamp-a-Faire, before I knew about Papertrey Ink; I became a customer in 2015. I had so much fun participating in Stamp-a-Faire from home last year that I decided spur of the moment to attend the live event on May 20, the day it was announced and tickets…
I’m back with another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop challenge. I had to skip June’s challenge since I was out of town for work when it took place, but I’m jumping back in for July. The blog hop is a day-long event held each month for crafters to share their creative projects made using Papertrey Ink products on their blogs. Each month there is a different image presented by Papertrey Ink which serves as the inspiration for the project.

Happy Handmade Holidays! Last Saturday’s cozy get together with crafty friends for a handmade Christmas ornament exchange was one of the highlights of this year’s Christmas season for me. I’ve hosted handmade ornament exchanges twice before in past years, but it had been four years since the last exchange. (Where does time go?) This year I organized the event; my mom and I provided snacks; and my friends Erin and Deanna graciously hosted the event at their art studio Caravan Classes in downtown Noblesville. This is the same awesome studio that had an Artist Halloween Party I…
Stamp-a-faire is a free annual online crafting event hosted by Papertrey Ink, my favorite manufacturer of clear stamps, dies, and other paper crafting accessories. I’m obsessed with their products and blog, where the challenge was hosted by members of their design team August 25-27. I had never participated before, but I actually had the weekend of the challenge free this year, so I had time to watch the instructional videos, follow the challenges as they were posted, gather supplies, be inspired and create my own projects. I managed to finish six of the challenges by…
