I will leave this blog up for inspiration but there won't be any new content. Thanks so much!!

Anya In France Card

I had the hardest time deciding what to make for my daughter for her birthday but finally decided on using Anya In France since my daughter went to France and loves it there.

I thought it would be fun to do a gatefold card. Just a little something different! I even used some paper that I got at the Expo that she helped me pick out!

Hopefully she enjoys it and has the best birthday ever!

I used the MFT Barnyard Bunch stamp set, Doodlebug Down on the Farm 6x6 paper and the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Windows Die for my card. I think it's just so adorable!!

Things That Start With "D" Swap Card

In my swap group one of the recent swaps (to celebrate my birthday) was to create a card using things that start with "D". I had the hardest time narrowing down what "D" things to use but ended up on Dragon.

Changes coming...

I have been thinking about this for over a year, so not a impulse decision but I have finally decided that after 17+ years of blogging, I am ready to move away from it.

This will not happen overnight but I hope to be fully away from blogging by January 2025. I have one design team that I am waiting to hear back from as to whether they would be okay with me giving blogging up but otherwise I will be transitioning to sharing my creations on my YouTube Channel and Social Media. 

Blogging has been such a part of my crafty life but things change and as time has gone by, blogging has changed. Not many people still visit blogs and with all the other ways to share now, it just seems like "extra" work for no real benefit.

I always liked to say I wanted my blog so I could look back on my creations, well, I have the photos all saved so really, it's not necessary even for that.

I also am so frustrated with Blogger and it's constant removal of my posts saying they go against community standards. They do reinstate them but sometimes it's hours or days and well, it's frustrating. 

I have over 15 posts scheduled so yeah, not going to be immediate but like I said, hopefully by January 2025 I will be done with blogging. Make sure you follow my YouTube Channel or social media sites (I'm Danni's Dreams everywhere) so you can still see my crafty creations and so I can hear from you!!

September 2024 Oh So Inspired Collab | What's Buzzin'?

It's time for another Oh So Inspired Collab! This month we are being inspired by Meghan K.! You can find her blog post for this month's inspiration here or her IG post here and follow her on IG @madebymeghank. You can watch my video for this collab HERE!!

I was inspired by the bees in her card (I love bees) and also her layout! I had fun shopping my stash to find exactly which bees I wanted to use and decided on The Greeting Farm What's Buzzin' Stamp set. I paired the sweet bees with paper from Not 2 Shabby!

Have a fabulous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
