Then Card 2 has the tag from the Adorned Joy dies and lots of stamping and rhinestones!

Fundraising Success

 We had so much fun at the September Scrap Day to fundraise for Suicide Prevention Awareness month.  


We had a fabulous raffle table filled with prizes to support the fundraiser.  The grand total raised for the event was rounded up to $950 donated to a local group that teaches high schoolers healthy coping skills for resilient mental health.
 

I also had 2 card classes to choose from for people that wanted some extra creativity to keep them busy.


At the end of the day several people said "We got so much done today, can we come back tomorrow and keep working on our projects?"

The crafters really did make a ton of progress on their projects.  Look at those cards and scrapbook pages. This has inspired me to add more crop days to my schedule for 2026.  More will be shared about the 2026 Crop Day schedule, so please join my email list to get the information first, click here.

Thank you so much for supporting my fundraiser and this worthy cause to combat suicide in our youth.

ICS Blog Hop Fall Fun


Welcome to our October Blog Hop as we feature projects for fall fun!

I am in LOVE with the gorgeous Gather Together Suite from our Online Exclusives products.


 The champagne foil accents on the Gather Together Specialty Designer Series Paper is stunning!  I chose a dark wood 6" x 8" frame to make a home decor project to welcome friends and family to "Gather" at our home.


T
he print creates a beautiful focal point. I stamped a mushroom, acorn, and leaf to coordinate with the elements in the paper.  The labels are from our Branching Out Dies.  The curved corners are so pretty on these labels and stacking them is a great way to frame a sentiment. 


I hope you will be inspired to shop this suite for your fall projects! Now join me to visit my friends' designs, click below:
