Text of the page (random words):
been like riding a bike at all b it s more gratifying than it looks right seeing a vision come to fruition man i love that feeling and being blown away by someone else s vision also gratifying c it s more about the people than the crafts and today it s about the people of paper crafts scrapbooking magazine go to gals but missing kim hughes still love you kim i submitted by first few cards for the stamping royalty contest of oh man 2006 yup they had it all the way back then in a stroke of luck both cards were picked and so it began for me i ended up at my first cha with the long gone by the wayside paper salon team if you remember paper salon god bless you because you ve been around a while and met then editor in chief stacy croninger and then editors megan hoeppner p kelly smith cath edvalson and brandy jesperson i m sure my story is similar to many of yours they were so encouraging they made me feel like they were excited to have me they made me feel like i had something new to contribute to the magazine what more does any creative person want than to be able to express themselves creatively and feel valued in return it s our own kind of heaven kelly susan me anabelle o malley and cindy smith of emma s paperie over the years some editors rearranged and relationships grew to include jennifer minerman shaerer who can practically read you like a book after asking your birthday place of birth etc and handing you a personalized astrology analysis and susan opel of colored hanger fame but also my bay city buddy and as time went on an eventual post as a go to gal i saved the answering machine message from jennifer offering me a spot yeah actual answering machine not a voice mail answering machine continue on with the story and played it for my mom to tell her can it be noted here that any time any one is sweet and encouraging to your own personal mother that they are going to build up within you a well of gratitude wide enough to fill an ocean that was the entire editorial team to my mom sidenote it was only a few weeks after taking on the go to gal gig that we got the call about noelle excuse the formatting on that post please my older posts have been reformatted so that there are no breaks not intentional i swear so i went from mom of 2 to mom of 2 plus a newborn alongside this new gig in a matter of days cath was one of the very first people in my life to know we had adopted a daughter in just a few days time because i was in the middle of an assignment for her only time i asked for more time on a card thanks cath i ve heard it echoed among many of the other go to gals say that this call was a dream come true and i m no different but man getting to have that gig alongside those girls teri kim h maren betsy and kim k and alongside those editors seriously humbling and seriously hilarious infamous example a infamous example b and so i offer my small token of thanks that could never match the depth of gratitude for the people of paper crafts scrapbooking that lives in my heart thanks for your encouragement thanks for your validation thanks for your commitment to us your contributors and fans of pc s thanks for your sympathy tears when i needed them thanks for your hugs thanks for your laughter thanks for your friendship thanks for the memories friends my prayer for you is that as you move on you go with the knowledge that you

annette witherspoon i ve enjoyed dipping my toes back in today folks thanks for having me thanks card cs soft stone white vellum papertrey ink glitter cs american crafts ink true black pti stamps thanks all ways pti dies headline alpha heart prints love lives here pti felt raspberry fizz aqua mist canyon clay pti posted by jessica at wednesday december 03 2014 130 comments november 09 2013 moxie fab thanks well folks there s not much that could bring me out of my crafty semi retirement but this is one of them because um yeah she s cath cath so unanimously beloved in our little crafty community that she has one of those single name names that doesn t even need a last name to accompany it or even the y that usually comes after those first four letters 99 of the time just cath and this is what i have to say about said cath cath i still remember our very first cha meeting where your excitement over a submission of mine was darned near unbelievable to me i remember that specific feeling that moment of she gets it that feeling of being understood your excitement was about the cards but it also wasn t your excitement about all of our projects always seemed to be more about us an excitement for us when we came with something that we loved an excitement for us when we challenged ourselves somehow it never seemed like it was about the cards it s hard to find isn t it someone who makes you feel encouraged uplifted valued i wish i had a card to share today but as life would have it this week i ve been tied up living out what i talked about with you in my last post but i ve been doing something that i love challenging myself trying new things and i m going to guess that you are excited about that for me just like i m excited about whatever good thing is in store for you i admit to me it feels a little bit like part of the heart of paper crafts is leaving but i cannot help but think that you are going to end up doing something that you love challenging yourself trying new things and i think what we want is to make sure you feel is encouraged uplifted valued it was never about the cards was it here s to you cath along with the most epic memory of the great wall of china cake there ever was you probably arrived here via ashley nguyen newell so your next stop on this moxie fab thanks tour is jennifer rzasa with much love posted by jessica at saturday november 09 2013 74 comments august 26 2013 a papertrey farewell well folks it s time and yet my heart is beating faster even as i write this and the tears are threatening their descent have i ever mentioned how not good at change i am some people thrive on change not me i like familiar i like cozy i like the known and yet i can t shake the feeling that there might be something different out there for me i ve had that feeling for a while but when one meaning me is adverse to change it tends to take a while to get to the actual going about of making said change familiarity is awfully warm and cozy and hard to move away from isn t it and papercrafting has been my familiar for over a decade this adventure started for me when i was a newlywed with lots of time on my hands and no children taking it up over the span of this journey 3 kids have come along and with them a changed life a changed me the reality is that just as my life is no longer the same as it was and i m not the same as i was these drifting feelings within me started to become clear this spring when i did an exercise requesting that i physically write out my dreams both big and small yes it sounds cheesy and yes it could have been but it was an intense moment for me i wrote without stopping and when i was asked i voiced all of the things that to anyone else might seem insignificant or impossible but not to me this exercise meant to help me focus in on some of the areas where god might be leading me made me wonder when those things could ever happen how would i ever have the time and the space to work toward those things when i m so intent on keeping things familiar and cozy and unchanging i started to become convinced of the fact that if i want to see the possibility of other things i need to be willing to listen and let go of the things that might not be for me anymore instead of closing my heart up and sticking my fingers in my ears when i hear the whisper that it s time to change i need to be willing and open to the fact that there could be other good things for me and even though it s change i can be happy about the possibilities in it that being said i love it here i love doing this i love this team i love being a part of this thing that we all love you and me and all of us together it took me a little while to be emotionally ready to leave and it s not because i really ever have to leave papercrafting pti is my last official tie to papercrafting but my stamps and supplies still have their happy homes with me it s hard to leave this team let me take a moment and tell you that i will miss being under the leadership of someone so gracious and patient with me my admiration for you nichole and my thankfulness at your encouragement over the years is deep and sincere it is no small thing to wonder if what you re doing is good enough and to consistently be affirmed and lifted up by someone you respect it is also no small thing to get to be a part of and enjoy the benefits of a group of dynamic and supportive women such as this over the years we have taken turns cheering each other on at various points sometimes in silly ways sometimes in serious times there is a joy in coming to tears over cards and sweet gifts in my mailbox from teammates who simply want to soothe and lift up there is joy in sharing monthly chats with friends cheering and encouraging one another there is joy and love and excitement in this team and i will miss that unfortunately you re stuck with me because i still have all of your email addresses and will thus commence pestering you about what you re making etc there is joy and love and excitement from those of you that have shared yourselves here with me and i will miss that so many of you have consistently come back to share a sweet word or two and yes i know who you are you have done so over the years without ever knowing that words are my love language and in leaving your words here you have spoken a bit of joy into my heart thank you for that as for me and my blog well i m not sure yet i m leaving the doors of possibility open i am not leaving nor am i planning anything specific how about i pop in and share with you as i can until then friends posted by jessica at monday august 26 2013 111 comments august 24 2013 stampafaire gallon quart pint challenge hello again just popping in with a little gallon quart pint challenge card for ya i suppose it could be argued that it s a little more of a gallon quart quart card but i kind of think the extra green for the stem and leaf push the ratio over into just a little more green than aqua at least that s what i m tellin myself any guesses as to what inspired this design it s a very loose interpretation brian and i had a conversation about the movie jobs this week and it came back to me when i was making this card i can remember my very first computer and the rainbow striped logo on the corner of that gigantic screen anyway i wasn t going for copy of the logo i was just looking to pair that sentiment with a piece of fruit and when i realized it would fit inside the apple the deal was sealed a little negative die cut adds some interest if you haven t tried a negative die cut yet you should it s super simple to pair the gallon quart pint challenge with it i did a bit of masking on the sentiment to split it into 2 parts i kind of like connecting the outside and inside of the card by continuing the sentiment but wait there s more be sure to head on over to nichole s blog to see all the other gallon quart pint cards but wait there s more more from me that is back in a bit out on a limb card stamps apple prints cs white limeade ice aqua mist berry sorbet ink dark chocolate other apple prints die posted by jessica at saturday august 24 2013 28 comments pti stampafaire rolled dough designs happy stampafaire it s time for my first post and it s a doozy folks i ll be showing you some super simple christmas ornaments and tags using some simple pti die cuts and stamps along with paperclay lots of pictures for those of you who just like to see how things are done if you ve ever rolled and cut out sugar cookies you are overqualified for this tutorial here s what you ll need paperclay this is a very light moldable air dry clay made of paper rolling pin cookie cutters not mandatory but helpful anywhere hole punch also not mandatory but helpful pti die cut i used parisian lace pti stamps i used bells boughs simple alphabet and library ledger year additions mini wax paper we re going to be following the same basic process for both the large ornament and smaller tags so here we go first up roll out your paperclay on some wax paper the paperclay is like regular clay in that it will pick up dust etc from whatever you roll it out on so i just used the wax paper to keep things clean lay the die cut over the clay and roll over it again with the rolling pin the goal is to impress the die cut into the clay a bit and get a nice deep image i tried this process by just rubbing the die cut into the clay with my hands and i was much happier with the impression when i used the rolling pin here s what it will look like next you ll want to choose the best area for cutting out just use the cookie cutter as normal leaving the cutter in place while you then pull the rest of the clay out from around it time to stamp you might want to practice on a few scraps of clay but really it s super simple you just want to find the right amount of pressure to use so that you get a clear image i had no trouble with the stamp sticking to clay however if that does happen i would recommend inking it first with some versamark go ahead and add a hole using an anywhere hole punch if you don t have one a skewer stick needle etc will work just fine this way your ornament will have a spot for a hanger that s really it just leave your clay items out to dry for a day or so mine dried even more quickly than that i did clean up the edges a bit by sliding a part of the ornament off the edge of my work table and smoothing the cut edge out that could also easily be done by sanding it a bit once it s dry the best thing about this project is that at any point if you don t like what s happened you can just roll the clay back out and start all over again i so love that pretty much fool proof accident proof etc i went ahead and painted my dried ornaments with a inexpensive pearl colored craft paint that i had on hand gives it a little sparkle and finished it off a bit in my mind i even made this one in preparation for a wedding this fall i thought it would be sweet to use it as a tag on the wedding gift write a few words on the back in gold pen and leave a note in the card that it s also a christmas ornament to celebrate their first holiday together i love dated ornaments i choose one ornament a year to buy and save for my kiddos the idea is that when they leave home which at this point is never because i m not allowing it i ll send them off with lots of special ornaments that they can fill their tree with i think i ll make ...
