One scrapbook idea that means a lot

Hi friend, One of the things I’ve always loved about scrapbooking is that it doesn’t just create something pretty… …it creates something meaningful. A scrapbook can capture memories in a way that photos on a phone just can’t. And one of my favorite ways to use scrapbooking is actually as a gift. For birthdays. For grandparents. For graduations. For milestone moments. A scrapbook gift is one of those things people tend to keep forever. That’s why I recorded a short class called Giving...

Hi friend, Can we talk about something for a second? The average scrapbooker or crafter probably has… a lot of supplies. (I know I certainly do! In the midst of a complete clean out and overhaul because I have TOO MUCH) Paper. Stickers. Embossing powders. Half-used kits. Things we bought because they were pretty and inspiring. And then sometimes we sit down to create and think… “Why do I have all of this and still feel stuck?” That’s actually why I created the Use Your Stash class. Instead of...

Hi friend, I was digging through some old project folders today (#springcleaning) and had one of those moments where you realize… “Oh right. I made that. And oh wow, that's good!" 😅 Over the years I’ve recorded quite a few creative classes for summits and special projects, and a couple of them never really got a proper release in my shop. So I decided to do something simple & fun this weekend... I added two of the classes to the shop and put them on sale for only $6 each. Normally they’re...

Hey friend! One of you said in an email, "the tech be 'tech'n" about the forever glitchy Advent Calendar page -- and I had to laugh (so I don't cry) because it's so true! This year has been one for the BOOKS for this Advent calendar (and it rivals the one where my entire house got flooded in the middle of December!) because of these tech issues -- including my ENTIRE website crashing this morning! I don't want to jinx it, but I THINK things are working now. . . but just in case it's not, I...

Hey friend! Don't say it too loudly (you'll scare the technology!) but I think the Advent page is working again -- but just in case it's not, I wanted to send out the last 3 freebies for you to download directly -- no need to mess around with the Advent page if it's not loading right with you! Day 8: Large prayer request cards... this time in green! Print these colorful cards out and write down your prayers ... make it into a mini book or just use them as practical and "useable" bookmarks for...

Hey friend! 👋 I had a little “what if” moment this evening while working on troubleshooting the ongoing Advent calendar issues… and honestly? I’m too excited not to tell you about it. So here’s the big idea: ✨ The next 5 people who join the All Access Vault will become a ⭐ Guest Art Director for a Day ⭐ for my next AllieScraps product! Yep — I’m serious. You get to choose: The color palette The theme/vibe The type of product (printable planner, art start set, prayer card pack, journaling...

Hey friend! Thanks for sticking with me this week for all of the tech issues I've been having with my free advent calendar! My website has been struggling with the updates showing up each day, but I think I might have FINALLY gotten it figured out for us moving forward! This "event" is always a labor of love... and sometimes, lots of tech issues! But how much fun is it to get 25 freebies throughout the month?!? Days 1-6 are up now, and Day 7 will be up this evening -- so be sure to check a...

Hey friend! So… Advent started yesterday, and technically so should have my Advent Calendar. But the tech gremlins had other ideas, and I spent way more of December 1st wrestling with my website settings than I would like to admit... and today is a snow day for my kids, so there's even MORE chaos happening! BUT! The good news? ✨ We are officially live today, and I’m so excited to share this year’s Advent Calendar with you! You can come grab Day 1 right now, with Day 2 scheduled to go up this...
