I have watched countless card making videos and one of my favorite techniques is when they use texture paste. It is a great way to add dimension and is a perfect way to use stencils. I only have one stencil so far but I definitely plan to make some of my own soon!

Being 19 years old with no job means being on a tight budget and I love to save money any way I can. So naturally, I looked up how I can create my own texture paste and this is what I found. The recipe was originally for 4 times the amount but I wanted to make sure I liked it before creating a big batch.

Mini Cards

Today I am sharing some mini cards with you! The cards measure 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and are absolutely adorable. I tend to keep these sized cards quite simple although I am starting to get a bit more creative with them.

The Big Announcement

If you follow me on instagram, you may have seen a post earlier this month where I said that I have some exciting news that I had to wait to announce. Well this is it. I am on the Gossamer Blue design team!!!

I cannot tell you how much this means to me, knowing that I will be working alongside all of these amazing women! My friend Laura, who is already on the DT, is actually the one who convinced me to apply but I never thought I would actually get it. I have only been doing Project Life for about a year but it has become one of my biggest passions and knowing that my work will inspire others is just amazing.

You can go to the Gossamer Blue blog to read about all of these amazing ladies.

1 Design, Different Cards - Tags

Since I have been trying to create as many cards as possible to get to my goal of 50, I often recreate different designs. These card tags are probably my favorite of all of the designs I've done even though they are fairly simple. 

Week Eighteen

This spread is probably my favorite spread I have done this year. It's crazy to think that I used to hate red and pink together because it is one of my favorite color combinations now. My spreads aren't usually this girly, yes, this is girly for me, but I'm totally loving it!
