THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK IN MY CRAFT ROOM Â
Tuesday, December 30 Paper Pumpkin night always feels like a mini celebration, and at 7:30pm (PT) I went live with my alternative creations using the Watercolor In Bloom kit. This kit is pure crafty joy, filled with dreamy watercolour florals, flexible sentiment stamps, and delicate accents that shine for just about any occasion. I had a blast
stretching the pieces beyond the instructions and turning them into fresh, creative designs. This was one of those “oh my goodness, I love this!” kind of evenings, and I couldn’t wait to share every detail with you. Â

for all the creativity ahead. Â
Monday, January 5 Happy New Year!  I kicked things off with an in-person Mini Catalogue Launch in my craft room, and the excitement was absolutely contagious. There were oohs, aahs, and lots of happy chatter as everyone got a sneak peek at what’s coming.  I popped live earlier at 7:00pm (PT) to bring the launch online before the catalogue officially went live on January 6. While I couldn’t flip through the catalogue just yet, I shared the products I already have, my early favourites, and the ones that are definitely calling my name. If this launch is any indication, we’re in for a truly fabulous creative year ahead  Place an order

If you missed the live demonstration, the replay is waiting for you below or on my YouTube channel, where you can see the
card come together step by step and pick up a few creative ideas you may want to try yourself. Â
  Wednesday, January 7 I will not be live tonight because I am hosting the online Petals of Beauty Class. While I will be busy stamping and creating with our class
participants, I will be back with more live crafting and inspiration very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for what is coming next. Â Friday, January 2 Look for the Friday Recap on Facebook for replays of this week's live demonstrations. Â Saturday, January 3 It is Saturday, and I am
spending the day stamping and learning with my Silver Sisters from across Canada during our Team Event. This is a special perk we offer three times a year for our teams, and this time we have thirteen demonstrations packed into one creative day.

If you would like more information, just email me at gjmollet@shaw.ca and I would be happy to share the details. Â Monday, January 5 | LIVE at 7:00pm (PT) I will be going live to demonstrate this beautiful card created with the Simply Beautiful bundle, which also happens to be the featured bundle for my February Class. I will be sharing how this card comes together, along with tips you can easily use on your own projects.

Click on the Register Now link below to grab your spot! Â Don't forget, a $75 order will get you the class for FREE!!! Â
Free Weekly Tutorial Just For You!  This week’s Free Tutorial celebrates the beauty with a simple, thoughtful design. This elegant card features the Lifetime of Love stamp set stamped in soft
Lost Lagoon, paired with the gorgeous Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Paper for instant charm. A sweet sentiment from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack keeps things effortless, while Rhinestones and a touch of Wink of Stella add just the right amount of sparkle.  And here’s a little crafty magic you’ll love: those rhinestones are
custom-coloured with Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend. If you don’t have the embellishment colour you need, simply colour your own. Easy, clever, and oh-so satisfying. ✨ This is one of those cards that proves a few well-chosen elements can truly shine. Â
Would you keep it just as shown, or remix it with your own favourites? Either way, I’d love to see what you create — be sure to share it in my Share-It Saturday post on Facebook VIP Group
 Thank you for starting this creative year with me 💕  Your enthusiasm, kind messages, and shared projects are what make this community so special. I hope this week’s inspiration sparks a few new ideas and maybe even nudges you to try something a little different at your craft table.  Here’s to a year filled with beautiful cards, joyful moments, and plenty of crafty magic ✨ I can’t wait to create with you again very soon.
 Stampin' Smiles and Bye For Now. Â
