I've been enjoying blogs for many years, and I've finally decided to start my own, with a little encouragement from all the talented bloggers out there. I have a little more time on my hands these days, and a greater need to use what I've got. I'll share my daily crafting, and include my handmade creations, along with tips and ideas that I've picked up along the way. I love to make little embellishments and card candy pieces, and hope to share them with some of you each week.
Every day, I try to set aside a minimum of one hour to create, and also take some time to research - read blogs, take challenges, enter contests. While I challenge myself to something different for each day of the week I hope that you'll find some inspiration, and some desire to use what you have. Please do comment, I'll pick a random reader each week for a special handmade gift.
If you would like to contact me, please send an e-mail to gracefulsimplicity@gmail.com. I will do my best to try and answer any questions.
PROJECT DETAILS
Quotabilities. I love, love, love quotes, song lyrics, poems, and I'm putting together a book of them. I'll feature a great quote, and the journal page I've put together for it.
Treasure Hunt. There are so many wonderful blogs and challenges out there. I'll find a few and post them, and then decide on one to try.
Technique Twist. I like to try something new, or practice a technique I've created or learned about. I like to make handmade papers and embellishments, but it's not done til you create your own spin on these techniques.
Wild Cards. You never know what I might come up with - it could be any of the projects I do throughout the week, or something completely different. Whatever it is, I hope it will be lots of fun.
Scrap My Stash. I like to create from only my Stash Basket, gifts that I've received, kits I've put together with remnants, odds and ends - to create something new with no added expense.
Dollar Craft Fun. I over-shopped for a long time, but I loved finding dollar items and so I'll be using kits and projects that were purchased for less than one dollar.
Die Cut Fun. Let's get inspired by die cuts - QuicKutz, Sizzix, BossKut, Cricut, and ready made die cuts. I'll embellish them and use them on cards, altered items, and more.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. Please leave a comment. I give away goodies and handmade treasures weekly.

New creations coming soon in my
ETSY shop.
I am loving the Clean and Simple Challenges at Split Coast Stampers. This particular challenge asked us to be inspired by a Vera Bradley purse. I chose this set of bags. They are so colorful and fun!
