Anna, you are my favor you tuber! I missed you terribly when you took time off, I hurt for you. Thanks to God you’ve come back stronger. You needed to rest so you could help others. Keep going dear girl, we all love what you do!
This video is amazing. I am the biggest paper hoarder! And, also, thank you for sharing what is on your mind and heart. You make this world a better place in your own little corner of this big world. I hear your message. It is scary to think some of the things that we are starting to realize.
I've been watching you a lot lately. You do a good job. I've been doing this since 2000. Saw my 1st homemade cards from one of my friends Then went to a party. Wow. I was so hooked. Still doing it but not as much I've. Had a lot oh health issues and then lost my foot and ankle and part of my leg. Anyway I have lost all of my crafting things. Had everything from stamping up and was a demonstrator for awhile. My car went down and lost customers. Taught classes and scrapbooking. Got very sick and most died in Feb 2023. Anyway landlord wouldn't renew my lease, so I had to go to rehab. Dr. Wouldn't release me til I had a place to go. Ended up in Georgia with my middle daughter and family I sure miss Indiana and ALL my craft products. That was my mission. I sent a lot of cards out all the time. Anyway I've set and listened to about things. I do agree with. World needs all of us. I grew up with being told I was ugly and fat. I couldn't understand why Well I finally had a talk with myself. I'm a people watcher. I just couldn't understand. I finally decided I am not ugly and fat. I've lost about 120 lbs I'm getting sick helped. Wt. Is still down and I think so much better of self. Listening to you and you encouragement sure is helping me. Just wanted you to know how I feel. Thanks so much for being on utube..... Good luck to you God bless Keep up with the beautiful cards.
Anna, I love how you bring your whole authentic self to these videos. Keep being who you are! I do agree it seems like there’s fewer people in the world like ‘us’. But one thing I truly believe that helps is exactly what you are doing: reading, educating yourself, asking the questions. When we broaden our perspectives, it can’t help but to give us more empathy and understanding about the world. I really wish others spent time doing the same. Thank you always for bravely sharing your perspective!
I appreciate the effort it takes to make yourself vulnerable by sharing what’s on your heart. Thank you for stepping outside of your comfort zone. It lets the rest of us know we’re not the crazy ones, and gives us courage to take a stand for truth. I do also hope that your creativity is contagious! ❤
Anne I just came across your channel and very much enjoyed it. I’m 74 yo and new to card making although have dipped my toe in every craft there is. lol. I could fill two craft rooms with all my “stuff” and seeing your idea of using designer paper for base card etc. is great. Although I enjoyed your card making, your message at the end , I felt was directed at me. I’ve lived thru many decades of change in this country. Right now I worry about my children, grands and great grands. What challenges are they facing and how will this country survive. GOD only knows. Thank you for sharing this with us and I look forward to seeing more of your ideas. ❤❤. Stay well.
You are Awesome. Love the card information. You are right on the world, and Standing up!! You glad you have added this part to your tutorials. God Bless from Kansas farm Wife. Yes, I'm a demonstrator also.
Girl,you blue my mind with all of these cards.You are so smart and beautiful,I love watching you.Glad you feel better and no you are not alone because what you believe is what I believe also.Thank you for sharing.I will be watching this video over and over to see these beautiful cards.
Oh my goodness Anna! You made the flower card with the folded circles & made it look so easy. I have been struggling with getting the circles all even for the last 40 mins & then fitting them on the square.lol I got it in the end though. It does look very pretty when finished & I love your other designs also. Keep up the good work😅😅.😅😅
This video was brilliant, Such great ideas, Thanxs so much for your videos, Am so glad you are back, I really missed you and your lovely face, as well as the stamping ideas, Bet Wishes!!!!!!
So many great card ideas and layouts!! Thank you. I will be watching and rewinding to remember all you have shown. Anxious to try out these possibilities!!
Such a great idea. I have enough paper tablets to wallpaper The Statue of Liberty. I got carried away, obviously. They were such good deals and so beautiful. I will enjoy using some up. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
A favorite hint I got from "May May Made It" is to always cut up first. It secures the paper against the top of the trimmer so it makes sure that the paper does not move. That is extremely helpful when doing several layers of paper at a time.
Oh my goodness. I fell in love with the double front fold card. I've almost used up my whole stack of the 8 1/2 x 11 just having so much fun. I even used the same technique for folding 3 1/2 x 5 7/8. So stinkin cute! You have offered many useful. Beautiful ideas. Thank you from Tennessee.
You are so right we believers need to be bolder and speak up. That has been part of our daily devotional prayer time. Thank you. I love your cards and tips.
Loved this video AND your message. I agree 100%, what we are told, learned in schools, etc. via media are mostly false. It's been a struggle the past 3 years, but once you research and find the truth (we don't have cable TV or listen to MSM) it's shocking but an important awakening. Honestly, I didn't expect to hear this, thank you for sharing. We are not alone, we are not woke, we are awake and aware.
loved these cards and info, as usual you are awesome. I question a lot of things going on in the world and how they can live with themselves, I try to say not my problem and give it to God, even my family problems, I give to God and let Him work on them , just takes time
Ist time viewer! Enjoyed your 3 ways to design your cards allowing a crafter to use their stash effectively. The remaining of the collection were stimulating and inspiring to craft today
God created each of us individually with special talents and gifts. That is why the world needs each of us. I am glad you have learned not to take everything at face value. Yes, the rich and powerful control the narrative for their own agenda, which may or may not align with our own. Too many people are willing to just blindly follow along and usually end up somewhere they never intended to be. Knowledge is one of the few things that can never be taken away.
Good morning, Anna! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful card layouts. I especially love your quilt-style ones. I don't see other demonstrators doing those. I can sympathize with your feeling of being "in the world but not of the world." I feel very much the same. I believe there are lots of us that do. Yes, we must speak up for our beliefs, even though we're likely to be persecuted for them. It's our calling. Best wishes and lots of hugs to you!
So many wonderful card ideas. Thank you Anna. Also I agree with you about the way our world is going. It makes me very sad. Thank you for sharing your cards and your perspective.
Absolutely love your card ideas, so many way to make simply beautiful cards! And we all have so much paper! I just spent several days making valentine cards using retired “Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder” and dies. I have decided to use everything I have available and stop stashing!😊 I have dies, paper and stamp sets never used and will probably retire this year. You have inspired me to just go with it! Thanks for sharing. I so identify with you as it comes to sharing my faith, and taking responsibility for improving my own health. Relying on Jesus and being guided by the Holy Spirit… For He is our hope and restoration is in His power.
Thank you Anna for showing how to do various fun folds and using up our DSP which I also have a problem using it up. The word for today is so true, you’re so amazing.
Anna- your cards are lovely. What fantastic ideas to make some different types of cards. A great way to utilize some of our DSP for sure. Anna - I am glad you are doing ok. You keep doing what you need to so you will be healthy. You take care of yourself as you are important to your family & your followers. Sending you a big thank you & and cyber hug. 🙏👏👏👏💕🌻
Love your card ideas….but even more admire how you feel about what is going on in the world. I wish more people would have the courage to stand up for what they believe in .
I saved this video as soon as it started. And I just subscribed as well. Your designs are so creative. I've actually done some of them before but always great to see new and different ideas. Thanks!
Thank you Anna! I am a new viewer and you've inspired me to get back to my craft area with these ideas. Thank you for sharing your faith and perspective. I, too, feel alone in my beliefs of where we are headed if we don't step up and be heard. God's blessings to you always. 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing, cards and especially the encouragement for your viewers to get out there. As for information, there is a vast difference between your country and mine. I think it has to do with the size of our countries. The Netherlands are tiny, we depend on the EU and our immediate neighbors, Belgium and Germany. Also, politics differ: just 2 parties in the US and I don't even know how many here 😂
Thank you for sharing your talents. Your card designs are fresh simply because the designer papers can set the mood and the message. Thank you for following God's Spirit. He gives us love and light to share, and you are doing that with your life in multiple ways. May God make His face shine upon you and give you peace. ❤️🐧🩵
Great video showing some gorgeous cards with very interesting designs. Do you have a tutorial showing how you do the drapery technique at all - really love that one and would love to see how its done. I totally agree with you, we are becoming more reclusive since COVID and because we don't like the way things are happening - very sad really. Thanks again for a great video and have a lovely day..
Thank you for sharing your talents! I so appreciate the time you take to help us craft. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom and being a light in the dark!
I love your techniques. Cards are great, something I would like to try. Thanks for your encouraging words. Your right sometimes we feel like we are the only one that feels the way we do.
