Hi My name Alicia O'Bryant and I am a craft addict.  I have crafted for as long as I can remember.  I have been a "professional" crafter for 25 years.  I started making jewelry in 1988 for gifts and within a year I was selling my wares.  Jewelry was my primary artistic interested for many years, but along came my son.  After losing my first child I was going to document every moment of this child's life.  Well, I have!  He will be 14 soon and still being an only child has his every wish within my means and his every event documented.  I have scrapped so many soccer pages, I don't know if I can do another!  I get a little tired of all the boy pages, so I often scrap my nieces.  I scrap mainly traditional, but I have a flair with digital as well.  I recently attended a digital retreat with lots of classes.  I always have a New Year's resolution to take a new class and learn new skills.  I love to learn new techniques and the Scrapbook Blessings Club's letterpress technique challenge was just one of those challenges!  It was such a great technique and now I will carry my new skills on to new and exciting projects.  I was recently selected for The Paper Loft design team and am very excited to push my limits of crafting once again.  I have been creating some mixed media projects and always love small projects like cards and ATC's.  Thanks so much ladies for the recognition of my work, it feels so good to be valued.

I have provided pictures of some of my favorite projects and the picture of me includes my brooch bouquet that I also created

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
