  Welcome to   Paper Crafting With Rebecca ! I am delighted you stopped into my crafty blog. I hope you find the information here fun, informative, and inspirational. I create this blog (and videos) because I love meeting new people and connecting with others in the paper crafting community. The photo above are a couple of graduation cards using a kit from  Cards By Kendra  . There are so many perks to becoming one of her patrons! May definitely kept me hopping! I had some medical issues to deal with that have hindered me a bit... namely losing clear vision in my right eye.  This photo is of my eye! Taken from the perspective of retro illumination. There is nuclear sclerosis (NS) and a posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC).  The most visually impactful is the PSC cataract.

I create this blog (and videos) because I love meeting new people and connecting with others in the paper crafting community. The layout photo above is an  8-1/2" x 11" scrapbook layout I created using a variety of goodies out of my stash. I've been busy trying to catch up on everything since returning from my trip out west. This includes scrapbook layouts, my commitments as a design team member for Kendra's Card Challenge, sending out birthday cards, etc. Here are my three April videos, and a few pictures, that highlight my April! Did you take a vacation this year yet? Let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear about where you went and your vacation experiences.

I create this blog (and videos) because I love meeting new people and connecting with others in the paper crafting community. January is the month many make resolutions... but not me this year! I saw a quote from "unknown" author (that guy sure makes a lot of quotes 🤣) that said, "Every year you make a resolution to change yourself. This year make a resolution to be yourself." I really like that!! So I am simply "swimming along, trying to keep my head above water" and making an effort to live in the moment more this year.

Of course I did have a lot of fun in my crafting studio this month, too! I made cards, tags, home decor, and tried to get my scrapbooking caught up... but didn't get the scrapbook layouts done that I had planned. I like to ha
