- Beth | Design Team Tribute Week
  
  Posted at 6:31 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 13th
  
  We were delighted to have Beth join us in May, it feels as though she’s been a part of the team for a long time. She fit right in with us, perfectly.
  
  Beth is the Queen of using up her stash and prides herself on making all kinds of different types of paper crafted projects. She’s a master of paper! There isn’t anything she can’t make out of paper. She’s fantastic at thinking of unique and one of a kind projects.
  
  She also has a successful business of her own, Bourbon Creek Crafts, making lots of different types of crafts.
  
  It was a pleasure getting to know her and an absolute joy working with her. I wish her all the best.
  
  Hugs,
  
  Stacy
  
  From Teresa:
  
  Beth is another customer turned Design Team member… I happened upon her YouTube channel doing a search for Scrapping for Less kit videos…well, I was hooked immediately! Not on just her Scrapping for Less kit video but all the other content on her channel. Let’s just say she does not put out a video I do not take the time to watch. I asked her to guest design in January of this year and then pretty quickly decided we needed her talents on our time.
  
  Beth, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your talent with us. I am looking forward to continuing to work with you this year on a different level.
  
  Here are a few our our favorite projects from Beth:

- Alicia | Design Team Tribute Week

  Dec 12th
  
  Alicia, from Call Me Crafty Al, is our newest member of the Scrapping for Less Design Team having joined us in September. You probably know her best from YouTube and her line of SheetLoad of Cards monthly card sketches.
  
  Alicia has been a true professional and an amazing talent. Her dedication to her crafting is important to her and it resonates in the quality of her projects.
  
  Scrapping for Less has been thrilled to have her representing our brand. I hope to continue working with her in the future.
  
  Hugs,
  
  Stacy
  
  A few words from Teresa,
  
  Stacy turned me onto Alicia’s sheetload of cards last June. And boy was I hooked…we began doing a sheetload or 2 each month, then joined Alicia’s team in January of 2020…and then fast forward to this summer, I asked Alicia to guest design for us. She did a fantastic job and I knew right away we needed her on our team. So, I asked her to join in September. She has brought so much talent to our team and in the short time she was with us was very helpful in both growing the brand and helping to grow our YouTube channel.
  
  Crafty Hugs,
  
  Teresa

  Scrapping for Less has been blessed with Crystal’s talent, loyalty and friendship for many years. Besides myself, she has been on the team the longest. She joined us when Scrapping for Less just started the Flavor of the Month Card Kit and the online store. She’s been a source of stability and consistency all this time. There’s been no bigger cheerleader for SFL than Crystal.
  
  She has designed several stamp sets that were featured in the card kits. She also took over running the Facebook Show n Share group. She designs card sketches and challenges for that group. She’s worn many hats over the years to which we are eternally grateful.
  
  Crystal is a super sweet person with an incredible talent. We have been blessed to have her in the Scrapping for Less family. Personally I will miss working with her tremendously. I wish her all the luck and best wishes in her future crafting journey.
  
  Love and hugs,
  
  Stacy
  
  A few kind words from Teresa:
  
  I “met” Crystal through a post on Stamp Junkies…she was looking for someone to do something as a graphic designer. I was just getting into that because of SFL so I reached out to here. She was a joy to work with then and has been a joy to work with ever since.
  
  I have had the pleasure to watch her talent grow and see her work blossom. I have also had the immense privilege of having her design stamps for Scrapping for Less. I am thrilled that I had such a wonderful opportunity to work with such a talented lady. Crystal, I will forever be in your corner!
  
  Hugs,
  
  Teresa

- Kimberly | Design Team Tribute Week

  Dec 10th
  
  Where do I start? Lol. Kim is a hoot! I’ve known Kim since the beginning of Scrapping for Less. We’ve been on 3 trips together to attend Creativation in Phoenix. She’s a super sweet, fun and carefree person.
  
  During the pandemic Kim, Teresa and I have FaceTimed an average of a couple of times a week. We generally chat and craft together, making cards. We love to follow and recreate other artist’s sketches of our favorite collections and come up with original designs ourselves.
  
  It’s been ay real joy to get to know her and I consider her a dear friend.
  
  Hugs,
  
  Stacy
  
  This has to be the hardest tribute to write. As some of you may know Kim was my business partner for a while in SFL…Amazing times! But I want to share the memory of when she decided it was time for her to step down. We have this little saying between the two of us “brutal honesty” which simply means we can tell each other anything. I could sense she was needing to step down but she didn’t want to tell me…so I asked, Brutal Honesty? NOTHING can damage this friendship if you want to step back ok? Well, it just so happened that was the trigger she was waiting for. So, although Kim has not been a partner for the last year and a half she has been a valued Design Team member!
  
  There are so many examples of her loyalty and dedication I could pull from. She is absolutely the best friend and I am very thankful that she exists in my life!
  
  I Love you to the Moon and Back!
  
  ~Teresa

- Luci | Design Team Tribute Week
  
  Posted at 5:31 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 9th
  
  Today is Wednesday which means it’s Luci’s day! This awesome lady is wonderful at making fancy folded and interactive cards. Her cards are beautifully made and are stunning to look at.
  
  One thing I can say about Luci is that she is dependable and steadfast. You can always count on her!
  
  I’m so sad that I never got to meet her in person. Maybe someday. I wish her lots of luck and good things in her future.
  
  It was a pleasure working with her. ~Stacy
  
  Now a few words from Teresa:
  
  Luci has been a constant with the Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month kit. She was another Design Team member that went from being a customer to a designer. I saw her talent right away.
  
  One thing I want to say about Luci is she has always been eager to step up and go above and beyond. She carried the “Revisiting the Kit” series on our channel solely until another design team member stepped up to join her. She also stepped up and helped with the Christmas All Year long series.
  
  Dependable and extremely talented woman right there!!! Thank you so much for all of your dedication and support Luci!
  
  Crafty Hugs, Teresa

- Christine | Design Team Tribute Week
  
  Posted at 12:00 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 7th
  
  We are starting our last and final week of blog posts for Scrapping for Less. We are taking each design team member and doing a tribute to them on their day of the week.
  
  I’m sure you have gotten used to seeing Christine Patterson from Pattercrafts post on the Scrapping for Less blog on Mondays so it was just fitting to start the tribute week out with her.
  
  I’d like to tell you more about this adorable lady. She is just the sweetest and kindest person you could ever meet. Her contagious smile lights up the room! She is very talented and truly enjoys creating beautiful things.
  
  I came across Christine on YouTube when she first started making videos. She had posted a video about an older Doodlebug collection that she was trying to find. I had an extra paper pad that I then sent to her. After that I told Teresa about her, who loved Christine and her work. Next thing you know she was invited to join the team. We just knew she had a blossoming talent. We feel so honored to have been with her on her journey to grow and develop her skills and her social media presence.
  
  In 2019 she joined us in Phoenix for Creativation representing Scrapping for Less. It was a super fun week. I got to know Christine during our time paired up together that week.
  
  I’m super excited to continue to follow Christine on social media. She’s become a great friend and I wish her all the luck in the world.
  
  Best Wishes,
  
  Stacy
  
  Next up, Teresa has some kinds words to share about Christine.
  
  After Stacy introduced me to Christine I began watching her channel and her SFL kit videos were a big hit with me. I loved how she took the kit and combined it all together to create her last and final cards. It seemed like the right thing to do to invite Christine to join our team when we had an opening.
  
  Then, it just so happened that Christine and her husband Russ were also going to be attending Kathy Racoosin’s Coloring Road trip at My Favorite Things in Eustis, FL. Kimberly and I were ecstatic we were going to be able to meet our new Design Team Member. What a blast we had that day!
  
  Lunch and a FLIGHT…What a fantastic smile.
  
  Christine also accompanied us to Phoenix to attend Creativation, our industry trade show. What an adventurous, sleep deprived, team building and life changing amazing week we had. I am so thrilled and honored that through owning this company I was able to meet such a sweet and
  wonderfully talented person. Christine, I love you girl!
  
  She was always excited for the next kit!
  
  Hugs,
  
  Teresa

- Ornamental Christmas
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Dec 3rd
  
  Hello, hello!
  
  Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde sharing with you what just may be one of the most elegant Christmas cards I have made this year! Now I love heat embossing and the SFL “Ornamental Christmas” stamp set perfectly lends itself to be heat embossed. Once I got the ornament and the sentiment embossed onto the card I pierced the paper inside the bulb’s hook and strung some gold thread through it. Layered the card with gold glitter paper then the last touch was adding glitter gold Nuvo drops in random dots around the card.
  
  I am so happy with how this card turned out! It’s sparkly and elegant, I am so looking forward to giving this card away! Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today. I hope you are getting into the Holiday Spirit we could all use a little more happy this year! Tis’ the Season!!!
  
  Keep on creating,
  
  Kim 🙂

- December Christmas Card Challenge ~ Rustic Watermelon Victorian House
  
  Posted at 12:00 pm by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Dec 1st
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with inspiration for the new December Card Challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group! This month is a Christmas Card Challenge. Super easy peasy… just enter your newly created Christmas card to the album! I think this would be a great way to get us inking up the new products from the October 2020 Christmas is Covered card kit!! But really you can enter any Christmas card that you’ve created, but please only newly created Christmas cards!
  
  Before we get any further… the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren’t already a member be sure to join in the fun —> here. Also, please note that you don’t need a blog to enter the challenge as you’re adding a photo of your creation directly into the challenge album in the group. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.
  
  Ok… enough chit chat… let’s get to my card!
  
  So… I had a little fun with this card. Do you recognize the patterned paper I used? If you said Rustic Watermelon, you’re right!! Yes, I had a fun idea for a pink and green Christmas card using the Rustic Watermelon papers. What do you think?! It’s different… but I think it works!
  
  I used the scalloped rectangle die and stitched rectangle die from the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 dies. For the focal image I die cut white card stock with a Stitched Rectangle STAX die, also from My Favorite Things. I wrapped the focal panel with a light pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon from my stash. I then tied a knot with the ribbon and cut fishtails on both ends for a faux bow. I did some simple copic coloring on the house with the following Copic Markers:
  
  House ~ W00, W1, W3
  
  Roof/Accents ~ N2, N4, N5
  
  Windows ~ Y06, Y35
  
  Bows ~ R27
  
  Wreath ~ G000, G14
  
  Snow ~ C00, C2
  
  Christmas Lights ~ Y06, YR15, R27, G14, B02
  
  And since I was already working on the one card, why not make two!
  
  It took me a bit to find a green ribbon that works well with the green in these papers. I ended up using New Leaf Topnotch Twill Tape from Papertrey Ink.
  
  Here’s a closer look at the added shine from the Ranger Glossy Accents that I added to the windows and Christmas lights. Such a fun touch to the house!
  
  I have a video on my YouTube channel sharing my process in making these cute cards!
  
  You can check the video out… here!
  
  I love how these two cards turned out using non-Christmas papers! I hope you like them too and are inspired to join us in the Christmas Card Challenge!
  
  The December Christmas Card Challenge will run from today, December 1st, and will end December 31st at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced in the comments of the challenge album on Friday January 1st. Please use #sflchristmascardchallenge in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge. I can’t wait to see what you create!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- A Pair of Cute Stockings!
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 1st
  
  Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma today with a tearful last blog post for Scrapping for Less. It’s been a wonderful 4 years on Teresa’s design team. I’m so grateful for all of the wonderful opportunities she has given me. I can’t say thank you enough for everything she has done for all of us. She’s truly a gift.
  
  For our last post we got to do anything we wanted. Of course I chose to make my project with the new Doodlebug Designs Magic of Christmas collection. I used the stocking die set from Sunny Studio Stamps to make these adorable gift card holders. I picked two pattern papers and two pieces of white Cardstock to make each stocking. Some matching Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock in coordinating colors was the perfect touch. I decorated them each with a Doodlebug Doodlepop 3D sticker on top of a layered oval using the Queen & Co Foundation #5 dies.
  
  I hope you’ve enjoyed all of our posts and projects over the years. We will miss you!
  
  Be sure to follow our personal social media channels if you’d like to continue following us.
  
  Thanks so much and take care,

- Happiness…

  Nov 29th
  
  Hello fellow crafters!
  
  I am so grateful that you have stopped by today. Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde sharing a little more inspiration from November’s Flavor of the Month card kit.
  
  I adore this image and the paper included in this collection! At this point this collection has produced two cards and there is enough material left over to produce probably three more. (I liked to use at least three patterns typically so I tend to go through paper quickly.)
  
  Happiness truly is a warm puppy! We added a new addition to our family about 8 weeks ago and she has made us incredibly happy. Our cat has also warmed up to her too. 🙂
  
  This is Orla
  
  Thank you so much for being such a supportive group of crafters, it is always so nice to be able to share a craft you love with others who love it as well. One of my favorite things, especially with cardmaking with the kit, is that we all start with the same ingredients but create such different yet lovely things.
  
  I hope you take some time for yourself and get to create something that will bring you joy.
  
  Keep on creating,
  
  Kim 🙂
