It's Karen with Yes Please PaperCrafts and welcome to my channel. I created this channel to share my love of papercrafting with other crafters. The videos on this channel are all about PaperCrafting and there will be videos for scrapbooking, cardmaking, craft hauls, storage tips and solutions, and organizing craft supplies and maybe other things ... I'm really not sure exactly where this journey might take me but I'm definitely having fun on the ride. So, whenever I think of all the fun to be had with paper crafting, all I can say is "Yes Please!!!" And, when I was trying to think of a channel name and about what I wanted for this RU-vid channel, those two words popped into my head. And, the "Yes Please PaperCrafts" channel was born. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more to come.

I took a shelf of that tall CD tower storage where you have the punches to the IKEA "As Is" section asked the clerk if he had extra shelves and he brought a few out in brown. He sold them to me for 10 cents. I got white contact paper and covered them. If IKEA still has a piece of furniture in stock sometimes they will have extra parts for it in the "As Is" section. If the clerk is no help come back another time until you get the worker that is always there he knows what he has.
I love making base pages with a paper pad and sketches, it is so therapeutic and stress-free. I am sorry about the passing of your fur baby, it is always hard when we have to say goodbye to them. Thanks for explaining the crystals, I had really bad vertigo a couple of years ago, and I had never known about them until my doctor explained them to me. I imagine many people are unaware that we have them in our ears. I hope your health status improves and you can get to scrappin'! Take care and thanks for the doing this video.
I love seeing how your mind works and all of the different ideas you were able to come up with to close your pockets. Very clever! You are really good at organization, you always have the best tips and ideas for any type of crafting products. Your videos have really been a wealth of ideas to help with my own organization. 😃
I just got the Creative Memories Border Punch about two years ago and my mom and I love it. I like that ric rac punch. The paper looks great with the photo.

I usually binge watch your videos when I'm feeling down. Please keep posting as they are helpful and put a bright spot in my day! Love the dogs at the end even if they're sleeping. Hugs from Villa Rica, GA. ☀🌴🏖
Great video. Would never have thought to create something to close them. I have put my things in some of them and had them fall out. Great information. Thank you. 😊
Thanks for the update. So sorry to hear about your cute little doggie and your health struggles. You are so fun to watch and I appreciate your optimism and good cheer despite the setbacks. Hang in there!
Oh, I am so sorry to hear this news. I love seeing them in your videos. Take all the time y'all need to grieve. I lost my miniture dachshund Ashley last October. She was 17 1/2 years old. I'm just beginning to think about another puppy but I still miss her so much.
The title is perfect. I like the paper you chose for the background. I went to a scrapbook convention a year or two before the pandemic and did their crop. I really enjoyed it. I haven't done any since the pandemic except for a local convention where I just went and shopped. However, I lot of my favorite vendors that I wanted to take classes are no longer doing conventions. Some of them switched to online during the pandemic. When I go to my aunt's house, my mom and I will scrapbook with her in her basement. That's probably the closest I'm going to get to a crop.
I just recorded my first video for the Simple Stories hop and I did the same. I looked for photos to go with my collection (from the couple albums I'm trying to finish this summer). I think we have similar tastes, since Simple Stories is one of my favorites and especially the vintage collections. I just received my order of the new Simple Vintage Linen collection. I can't wait to use it, but it will probably have to wait until after July since I'm doing a Disney Sketchathon in July.
You do a wonderful job organizing! I had a room nearly as big that I had stocked and I'm organized but I still forgot stuff and found I wasn't using it like I could. So about 10 years ago, I went all digital. I got rid of everything in equipment and supplies, papers and embellishments. It freed up the whole room, valuable real estate, lol. Now all I need is good computer equipment and I print digital scrapbooks at Shutterfly in book form. I collect digital embellishments and papers and have it all organized on my computer hard drives (one for work which includes all my digital photos and two more for backups). So my hard drive is as organized as your room and closet. I have a good scanner for old photos so even my photos are all digital. I create my own 12x12 pages and save as a file. Then I upload to Shutterfly and store in albums. Once I get enough to do books, I create the book in Shutterfly and print it, it's so much easier to store than the old scrapbooks. I've done family genealogy books, family history books, family recipe books, scrapbooks for all my nieces, nephews and now, grandnieces and grandnephews. I've done personal journals, Bible study journals, vacation and holiday scrapbooks all in 12 x 12. I do a lot of Bible studies so I've "printed" my own books of Bible studies by doing it as scrapbook pages and then print in book form. I've done verse mapping, induction studies, topical studies, character studies, book studies, etc all on scrapbook pages and printed in book form. Printing the books are pricey but considering all the supplies, equipment, organizational supplies I think I come out cheaper doing it digitally. The computer equipment is dual usage. I use it for all my scrapping but also for all my other stuff like shopping, social media, blogging, etc. I used to be the Historian for my Daughters of the American Revolution chapter and I did annual scrapbooks. The ladies loved them. BTW, your dogs are adorable. I have a little chi and Yorkie and 4 cats who keep me company.
Loved your video. It's real life not pretend life. Sorry to hear you are still struggling with your eyes. My mother has macular degeneration. I like the idea for the book. It reminded me I used to use a harder plastic to make paper holders for my 6 X 6 paper pads.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It broke my heart to hear about your Lillybelle. The bunny video is so cute. My Jenna is a Maltipoo who just turned 16. She is having kidney failure and some other issues too. 😢
Hi Karen! I’m a new subscriber. I’m just getting my craft room done so I needed this! I’m having some vision problems and just had a procedure before I can have my cataract surgery. My eyes are really bad. I found out that I have something called Epithelial membrane basement dystrophy in my both my eyes and I just had my first procedure to correct it. Sending love and prayers and I hope your vision gets better soon. I understand what you are going through. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🌷💕🌸🥰💖🌷
I have the same condition for over 20 years. Love my Munro eye ointment. Once we got my thyroid at the proper level, I stopped having so many abrasions. Don’t lose hope. It is very manageable.
Thankyou Karen for making this video showing us how to make this binder. What a great idea and I love watching all your videos because I always learn something new and I love your personality. Thankyou for making my day!
Love the idea!! I have successfully used many of your storage ideas. I’m sorry you struggled with this demo but am glad you kept things together and finished. Your ability to remain cheerful is something I love about you. 🫶
I use my Cutterpillar for paper, but I have an old little cutter that I use to cut magnets and plastic and things like that. Then, if I have too, I just just replace that tiny, inexpensive blade. I do love my Cutterpillar. It is so accurate!
Karen, I’m so sorry about Lilly Belle and so sorry too that you have been battling such serious health issues for months. I pray they will resolve soon! We lost both of our horses over the past year, and after the first one passed away the other was so sad. I know the pain of loss was and is so hard for both you and Lilly Belle. I will pray for you both and hope you are back to scrapbooking soon. Love your laugh and love your videos!❤
