Hi creative friends,
Welcome to another exciting week of inspiration and creativity with our talented Design Team!
This week, our members have been crafting with the gorgeous new Craft Room January kit, Postcards from Paris.
Let’s take a look at the amazing projects they’ve shared…
Lauren ~ Shabby Chic Sundae
Lauren has outdone herself with a stunning mini album encased in a Parisian ladies’ suitcase.
The suitcase, crafted from chipboard and covered with the beautiful papers from the kit, serves as the perfect cover for this elegant project.
Inside, you’ll find a delightful mini album featuring a waterfall design to store photos, ephemera, and journal cards.
Lauren even added space within the suitcase to store extra treasures like a stack of postcards, vintage ladies’ gloves, and Paris-themed ephemera.
The best way to fully appreciate this fabulous creation is to watch Lauren’s flip-through video on YouTube.
Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your incredible talent and inspiring us with your creativity!

A 2025 Yearbook of Kits from the Craft Room
Lauren and Nicola have teamed up to document their personal crafting journeys for 2025 with an exciting yearlong project.
Each week, they will create a card using the monthly digital kits.
Lauren is working with a pack of 52 cards… one for each week of the year, while Nicola is using memo swatch cards.
Both projects are attached to a binder ring, offering a fun and easy way to remember the monthly kits and showcase the beautiful papers and fussy-cut elements.
For Craft Room members, both Lauren and Nicola have shared videos of their first cards in our private Facebook group.
This project is another wonderful way we connect and engage our creative community, inspiring one another as we craft together.
Nicola ~ Shabby Journals Crafts & More
Nicola has been kept busy this week creating her monthly cards for her yearlong project with Lauren.
She also used Sandra’s Craft Room prompt to make a flower bouquet, crafting a large bouquet with a pull-out card…
And created her own version of the bonus Craft Room project, the Paris Suitcase.
All of her projects are so shabby and sweet. Thank you, Nicola, for your beautiful creations and for always supporting and guiding others in the Craft Room.

Tmika ~ Scrapdaworld
Inspired by the vintage hatbox in the kit, Tmika has created her own beautiful hat box with French flair.
It is decorated with papers from the kit, gold bead trim, and topped with a bouquet of soft pink faux flowers.
What a beautiful way to present a gift or simply use as a lovely decor item. See the reel here.

Jaren is our resident journal maker, and this week she shared four ‘sweet’ hidden paperclips made with the cakes from the fussy cut files for Postcards from Paris.
