April Foster is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Inked Brands, where she's obsessed with starting & scaling microbrands, many of which are founded by influencers or media companies. Prior to founding Inked, April co-founded Studio Calico, a leader in the direct-to-consumer paper-crafting category, where she pioneered subscription services and organically scaled from a $4k initial investment to multiple 7-figures in a few years. April has been named an Entrepreneur of the Year in Kentucky as well as been recognized on the Inc5000 list of fastest-growing companies in three consecutive years. She’s obsessed with combining relevant products, paid content, and smart marketing with influencer brands such as Studio DIY, The Bucket List Family, Meghan Rienks, and Ali Edwards. She's most proud of her family, however. April lives on a farm in Bowling Green, Kentucky with her husband, Greg, and their five children: Claire (10), Cal (8), Sam (8), Kit (6), and baby Nell.

Tina Aszmus starts off talking to Amanda + Kristin about her early foray into design, her background with Studio Calico, and how she’s inspired by flowers, plants, and the illustrations & textures of vintage children’s books. Tina & the girls then go into how much scrapbooking trends have changed, and how years ago it was all about adding more, more, more while now, it’s more of an attitude of LESS.

Are you taking time out of each and every day to do something that fills up your cup? Today I was joined by Shanna Noel, the woman who pioneered the bible journaling movement and founder of Illustrated Faith. We dive into bible journaling and the collections she created with brands like Studio Calico, Bella BLVD and DaySpring. She shares her advice for what you can do as a creative when you’re feeling uninspired. We also chat about allowing yourself the time and space to refuel your creative process and making time for what brings you joy.    What’s in this episode: How Amy and Shanna met  How Shanna got started with bible journaling  Combining her love of creativity and scripture Creating a collection with Studio Calico Deciding to start her business, Illustrated Faith Creating faith-based items with Bella BLVD Getting to see other people open up to creative experiences Finding what works for you to fuel your creativity and document your life Being a student in your creative endeavors  What Shanna does when she doesn’t feel inspired Allowing yourself the time to refresh and refuel your creative process Slowing down and not being in a rush Why Shanna decided to start homeschooling her daughter Being willing to play around and try things out in your creative process  How the creative community has evolved over the years and why you need a community to support you Making room for things that fill your cup   About Shanna: My name is Shanna Noel and I live in Sonoma County, California with my husband Jonathan and our two beautiful daughters. We traveled all over the country before settling back home and I have never been happier to be surrounded by family!   I have always had a passion for capturing the little details I want to remember 10 years from now. When I discovered paper scrapbooking through Studio Calico in the summer of 2012 I fell in love with the whole process but it wasn’t until I started using my journaling bible that I really felt the meaning behind what I was creating. I was extremely nervous to share my new form of worship as I wasn’t sure how people would react to it. Looking back, I am so glad that I listened to the whisper that God put on my heart to share with you all, because from the moment I shared that first post on my blog (in early 2014) it has been a wildfire that just keeps growing. By sharing that I was documenting my faith right there in my bible, it turned the light bulb on for so many women… “YES!!! it’s okay to use the gifts God has given you to glorify HIM!”.   Connect with Shanna: Website | Facebook | Illustrated Faith Instagram | Shanna’s Instagram   Links: Studio Calico Bella BLVD Illustrated Faith Collection Creativation DaySpring Illustrated Faith Collection 014: Filling Your Life With Color With Stephanie Smokovich Project Life Citrus Twist Island Escape Creative Retreat Craftcation   I would love to hear from you!

Mottagaren får ta hur många hen vill, men ska lägga tillbaka lika många kort som man tagit så det alltid finns lika många kort, eller antal pysselsaker som det var från början.

Så det är alltid samma mått man ritar ut.Detta är billigt och bra om man vill prova på pocket scrap men inte vill köpa på sig nya plastfickor och har plastfickor i 12*12".Ciza lade cardstock i sin skärmaskin, tog bort skärbladet och ritade med en bläckpenna var rutorna skulle vara. Här är ett urval av de veckor Ciza PL'ade med stora 12*12-fickor och cardstock där hon kände att inga vanliga Project Life-fickor passade.Detta var ett sätt som gick fort och smidigt och anpassades efter vilka foton hon hade.   Dies och kantrundareDie med innersöm 4*6"Die med innersöm 3*4" Olika hörnrundare.Bild lånad frånwww.avegasgirlatheart.comNågra exempel på dies från Technique TuesdayFlairs:Egentligen är det detsamma som pinnålar, fast utan nålarna. Dels kan man köpa dem och så att de är förslutna med ett plasthölje och en metallbaksida, och dels kan man göra egna flairs genom att klippa eller stansa ut en bit mönsterpapper, stämpla något eller skriva ut något. För att få skyddsytan kan man använda epoxybubblor, embossa med UTEE eller med Glossy Accents. Gör dina egna Photo Crops:Genomskinliga rutor som du lägger ovanpå dina foton som behöver beskäras.
