Sometimes you need something cute that you can make in just a few minutes.  These tags are perfect for that.  Just grab some cute paper (I used "Seaside" from Close To My Heart which has been discontinued) and your Cricut and you are ready to go.  Unfortunately, I forgot which Cricut cartridge I used to make these.  Please watch the video and let me know if you have an answer to how to look up which cartridge you used on a project.

I have discovered that I really like fountain pens.  In a recent haul video, I showed a couple of pens I had picked up from the Goulet Pen Company.  You should check out their website here:   http://www.gouletpens.com/   In this video, I show the pens I purchased and how they write.

My daughter recently celebrated her 21st birthday.  I wanted to make a fun card, but not too juvenile.  That's when I remembered the "Forever young" Cricut cartridge.  Add this silhouette figure to the Close To My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge and you have a great little slider card.

Have you ever heard of a "golden birthday"?  I can assure you that I hadn't until about a month ago when a friend's daughter celebrated hers.  A golden birthday only happens once in a lifetime. It is celebrated when the date of your birth matches your age.  This year my daughter celebrated her golden birthday when she turned 21 on March 21st.

I know that some of you do not like rub-ons.  I actually like them a lot and can't believe I hadn't really thought about adding them to my planners and journals.  They are so perfect for that because they add so little bulk.  I really recommend that you go through your stash and find some old rub-ons to add to your planner lay-outs.  You may just find a whole new love.

I have a problem.  Okay, so may I have a few problems, but one of those is the sheet amount of washi tape that I have stashed.  I find that I don't use the bulk of it because most of it is in my craft room and I rarely use my planner or bullet journal in the craft room.  One solution was to move the narrow washi into a zipper pouch to put into my planner carrier.  That worked, but the rest of my stash (including the funnest printed ones) remained downstairs.  Something had to change!  This week's "quick tip" shows you my solution.  I love it.  I went out of town for a few hours this morning with my guys.  I knew that I was going to have some time with my journals while I was gone and this solution meant I could take most of my washi with me. The best part?  It took very little room to toss it in my bag.  That's what I call a solution! Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.
