We’re finished making all our Christmas cards and gifts for 2018.  (at least I am… I hope you are too, by now)

What does that mean for 2019?  Will you be crafting more?  Or less?  Will you decide to learn a new craft?  Or add some new techniques to things you already do?

If you’re already a member of our group, I know you’ll still be crafting and sharing your creations with us.  If you’re not a member, already, this is a great way to start the year.  Join us and share your papercrafting ideas, techniques, and projects with like-minded friends!

It’s super easy….just click on the link under Join the Forum in the column to the right…. and then send an intro email so we can approve your membership!

Whether you’re still buying and wrapping gifts for the holidays, there are sure to be handmade gifts, cards, tags, decorations, etc. on your craft table.

Then there will be the scrapbook pages – Journal your Christmas, December Daily, or a variety of regular scrapbook pages with a holiday theme.  Don’t stress yourself out trying to do everything at once… remember to enjoy the process!!

It doesn’t seem like it’s been 10 years, but this group was started waaaayyy back then in 2008.  There are wonderful crafters in this group who share their creations and talents. We also share our personal events like births, birthdays, anniversaries, job changes, retirement celebrations, and weather crises, deaths, daily struggles.  We keep in touch in this group and have a ton of fun doing so!

We’ve also been having Spring retreats at the Outer Banks of NC for several years.  Couldn’t ask for a better group of friends or a better place to gather for a week of paper crafting!!  So – if you like chatting and paper-crafting, think about joining our group!!

I know a lot of us have been busy making cards, lately.  Now’s a great time to pop some of them into envelopes and get them into the mail to your friends.  National Friendship Day is Sunday, August 5th!!

Summer camp is in session here, at Paper Artists Online!  Lots of challenges to spark our creativity – from projects about flora and fauna, outdoor activities, finishing your unfinished projects, cleaning up your stash… there’s a challenge for everything and we’ll all have fun jumping in and participating!

Here are a few examples of what’s been going on already!

What to do… What to do!!  So many things to celebrate on Saturday this year.  Someone didn’t synchronize their calendars!!

Borrowed that image from Scrapbook.com so pay them a visit…. they’ve got challenges and lots of fun things going on!!

Scrapbook.com International Scrapbook Day

But Saturday is also Cinco de Mayo AND the Kentucky Derby!!!

Whatever you have planned…. do something fun and scrapbook about it!!!

So – have you ever scrapped a layout about a Star Wars movie?  Or a character from Star Wars?

Well – kick back this Friday and watch your favorite of the movies and then scrap a fun layout!!

It’s Spring in the US and we’re all looking forward to the warm weather and clear skies!

Some of us, here at PAO, are looking forward to our annual crop … re(create) … at the beach on the Outer Banks of NC.  It’s a terrific week of scrapbooking, cardmaking, siteseeing, eating (and drinking) at a lovely oceanfront rental house.

If you’re interested… please join our group and think about taking a week-long vacation at the beach… and being able to scrap without interruptions!
