I love watching you it make my day

Yeah , the only thing I learn from people that scream is how far away from them I want to get. You are so laid back it is pleasant to watch you for hours. Waaaay better than watching the news. I turned off my TV three years ago. I do not miss it. And I get a lot of crafting done.

Your videos are perfect. No background music, no rush, smooth and relaxed voice. And the longer your videos, the better. I normally light a scented candle, no music, only silence. Complete calm. My space, my world

LOL That's funny that you mentioned people liking your calm voice. I have the patience of a gnat and rarely ever watch a video longer than six minutes, but here I am, half way through your video and still enjoying it! I love the calmness, your soothing voice, and just watching you taking your time while creating. Everyone always seems to be in such a hurry when they make things. One thing I really loved was when you accidently marked on your cut out, and instead of getting upset, you just turned it over and stamped on the other side! LOL That was awesome. Not even one cuss word! XD

Art By TessieJo me too I'm English & to me some American accents are a bit to theatrical to be calming & the ones with music the music is awful. This Lady is just right & I'm as happy as goldilocks 😊

I was just going to comment the same exact things you did, including the patients of a gnat, and I'm still here watching, because of the reasons you said. I love the calming voice, the things you say, and the things you create.

Yes yes. Turn into a card please !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a million scraps and now know what to do with them. Thank you

I love that you show great ways to use scraps. I struggle with them. What I love even more is that you keep reminding us to enjoy the process. That’s the best part for me. Most crafters are fast, to the point and crank out tons. My favorite part of crafting is enjoying it, savoring the process too. Thanks so much for reminding of why I do it.

I love watching you - so glad there's no loud music in the background !!!!

I like to have your videos going when I'm playing with my "stuff". Also- I'm so jealous of your talent to cut straight lines! I try and try but rarely do I get a straight cut - it's always wonky. I appreciate all the good ideas I get from you. I've been watching your videos for several years and never tire of them!

I love that you said you don't have to have every step figured out ahead of time. One of my crafting roadblocks is always wanting to know exactly what I'm going to do before I start; I need to learn to trust my instincts and creativity 😊

And, as many others have stated, your voice is very calm and soothing ☺️

Here I am again, watching this 5 months later than first viewing! I do love your video's and thank you for sharing your talent. I found the bookmark video earlier this evening, and did so enjoy that also. I tried making a few things months ago, and loved it, then got sidetracked. I will spend the weekend trying again! Thanks

I can tell that you are an amazing friend. God bless you for your kindness to others.

I couldn’t sleep been having a lot of health issues.... woke up and watched this video. It was so relaxing & calm. Thank you for helping me relax. Love your channel. God bless. ♥️

So beautiful I was about to begin making some cards two days ago from all the small paper stash we end up with, and I just don’t throw them away I use every single bit....guess what? Yesterday while waiting for mom at the dentist I decided to walk around and ended up in a kiosk that’s been in that mall for years and ended up talking to the owner quite some time and ended up showing her the mini books and mini junk journals I make, cards, and other crafts and she asked me, “why don’t you make & pack some cards and other of your crafts and I’ll sell them here for you?” So this weekend I’ll be making some and let her sell them for me🌸I’m so happy about it🌸. Thanks for your sharing your video you gave more ideas‼️

Tracey its 2:42 am I couldnt sleep so I decided to take a look at some of your older videos. I have so many of the same scraps. You have given me alot of ideas. As always thanks for the inspiration. By the way your soft calming voice has relaxed me enough that I know I will be sleeping soon.

awesome! great embellishments, tags, and cards! how fun too. If they are ugly you can toss them, they came from scraps they can go back to scraps.

Music while I'm crafting is relaxing. If it's something repetitive and easy I enjoy a good movie while I craft. Thank you for showing me how to make embellishments with what I have on hand. Oh, and listening to your voice while I craft is also relaxing!

bwilhelmena I usually color any images I have while I watch TV. I use Derwent watercolor and Inktense.

I have only very recently discovered your channel and I love watching you and learning new things to try. I am buried under scraps and am so going to do this. I am going to get my scraps and watch this again. I will feel just like I am crafting with a friend. Thanks so much for sharing these ideas with us.

I am a visual learner I listen to jazz turned low while working with crafters . I do the same project and listen to you talking . Thanks for sharing .

Tracey, so calm and you are an inspiring teacher to a newbie, also so practical and cost effective thank you

Hi ... love this idea of using up scraps, Thank you for sharing this with us, guess I won't be throwing so many bits out now! lol! It will be so handy to have ready made elements to hand! Can I just give you a little tip, with regards to running a pen around the edges, I found doing it the way you did, I always, but ALWAYS slip and mark the sentiment or whatever I am edging, so ..... I now do it from the back instead so any slips won't be showing on the front .... no extra work to do! Works a treat! :) Thanks again for your always very helpful videos ... I always enjoy them! Hugs, Karen xx

As I was watching you cut the papers, it is amazing that you don't need to use a trimmer. If I just used scissors as you are doing it old be a hot mess. I can never cut a straight line. You made some nice things out of scraps. Something we all have so much of.

I love your embellishment videos. They are simple, and you don't need a lot of supplies. Very pretty.

I’m so glad I looked at the older videos!, ! The more recent ones use so very much stuff on them that it’s been depressing. I don’t have the supplies, the vision,or the time to do this. So I am super happy this afternoon🤗

I love this. I have those pinking and different shaped scissors. I was going to give them away. I have tons of embellishments, but until now I’ve felt I had to buy everything. It would really help to have a video on using washi tape to create cards. Thank you!

I like to craft while listening to you and Bill.

I like having KZread playing with other crafters like yourself, it helps inspire me and I may pick up a few pointers in the process.

Tracy, Love to watch your Videos. Love ALL your Videos for so long now. Great Job. Love to learn from all your Videos. I watch them all. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

I called my sister to tell her to watch you but she already was. We love you.

Thank you for your ideas. You do beautiful work. I also use wallpaper scraps, you can get the books free at wallpaper stores.

I usually like to have music playing in the background. Crafting and music soothe my soul. Have a cute little saying framed in my office/craft room, "Crafting each day keeps the crazies away."

I have been working on my scraps all week. thanks for all the great ideas.

Thank you. I’ve struggled with adding sentiments. You’ve given me so many ideas. Love your videos🥰

Ha! After reading some of the comments, I also agree that your voice is soothing. I don’t like when music is playing in the background on crafting videos.I’m glad you don’t play any. It’s annoying to me. However when I am crafting myself at home I listen to soft 🎼 music. Thanks for another great video 💕👍

here it is 2022 and I found this wonderful KZread by accident and so glad I did. I am wanting something to do and you make it so relaxing and enjoyable. Thankyou. I love what you are doing with the scarps. I have done a lot of crafting for different reasons but this is not a chore, you make it fun. Once again Thankyou

Christian music and coke or water. Love these. You got awesome ideas. Love your channel.

I love watching what ever you design you are such a protectionist . And yes your voice is so easy to listen to thankyou

WOW!! You're so creative, what an inspiration you are, thank you for making, sharing and inspiring, please don't stop 💐

T your goal is to inspire, you have done that for me. Thank you for showing your process.

If helps that you have such a calming voice. It feels like I'm creating with a friend.

You asked what we do while we're crafting. All lot of times I listen to your more calming videos to de-stress. 💜

Excellent video with clear instructions. Great use of scraps!

Love listening to your videos while crafting or doing paperwork at work. Right now I am trying my hand at making cash envelopes to start Budgeting, So I'm making lots of pretty scraps to make embellishments with.

Mindless Crafting, thanks for giving me ideas to get a hand of my assorted size DSP paper. I also enjoy your calming voice I need that today.

Love your attitude and kindness. This was so enjoyable. Thank you.

Yes please show some cards with these. Thank you for sharing another idea to use the scraps.

I also would love to see cards made with these lovely scrap projects. I appreciate your voice and no loud music in your videos, very relaxing ! You are so talented and inspiring!

Think they are great so far!! The imagination can do wonders. Yes, I would like to see these made into the next step of cardmaking. I love the the way you do not rush things. A nice flow. Thank you so much. Love your voice. And yes, you do inspire me. Can't wait to get things to get started.

I was just thinking to myself how much I love your voice when you mentioned that others have said that too! So calm and soothing! There are not that many people with a voice like yours! I could listen to you all day! lol This makes me want to go dig in my stash and play but I would be up all night if I started that now. Thanks for this great video!

as I am stitching I am watching your video and it is very soothing to listen to....I love your talent and your projects. thank you for sharing; I learned alot.

I never use sequins. I always thought what would I need them for. I normally just use bling dots. You have changed my mind!! I love the look of them! Cant wait to start doing this with my scraps...also my routine is yes, I normally have a drink and I have a plug in candle with 80s music in my BT headphones. 😊💖💖

I've watched a number of your videos and find inspiration; thank you. You and May May are my two favorite paper crafters! Love, love, love your ideas.

God Bless you thank you for sharing and yes I want to see you make cards using these

Great ideas for using up scraps that are too nice to throw away. Would love to see a video showing how you use them. God bless

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and inspirations!! I love your calming voice and the longer videos. When I craft I love to watch and listen to KZreadrs like you!!

Sometimes I have a brain block when starting a card. I don't like to spend money on saying stamps so I print off my sayings from the computer. I did that then started playing around with them. This is such an easy, no stress way to play and still make something that will inspire a card. Thanks for the time and effort to do this. I had to rewind because I was working along with you and missed some of the video.

You are my crafting buddy. You inspire me in the way of days gone by…no products to buy (which I do love) but there are days when I just need inspiration without purchasing something “I think I must have” to complete a copied creation. When listen to you as I’m doing my own creation…however…my head pops up to see something I have not learned from someone else!!! This is the good old days kinda crafting. I’m retired so your videos are my reason to get up. lol!!! THANK YOU!!

Love this video. I will turn ally scraps into embellishments for my cards. Your tutorials are always so thoughtful and inspiring. Thank you.

Another enjoyable craft your so relaxing to watch thx for sharing .

Once again, thank you for a great video with great ideas. I don't do anything special when I am crafting. I usually have the TV on mostly for company. But I have had music on or Christian talk radio, too. The comment on one of the card embellishments said "Love one another". You said we all need to be reminded of that these days. That is so true. I thought that if more people did crafting...especially paper crafting, they wouldn't have time to do some of the things happening these days, and they would have more fun doing it and have better results to show for it, too. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

This is sooo awesome!! I will be referring back to this often! Very smart and creative! I have several wavy border scissors that I barely use. I get too many half finished projects on my desk at once and I get overwhelmed!

Right now I'm crocheting while watching your videos, so I guess while crafting I watch youtube videos to keep me inspired!

Relaxing project when you just need a quick craft fix. And by the way, I really enjoyed listening to you talk while I followed along. Thank you

So right. I just got carpal tunnel surgery in my right hand and this is such a good idea!

I love your tutorials and have been inspired to create all sorts of embellishments. Like so many, I like your calm voice so am watching some older videos.

I love that you mention Maymay. She is the one who first inspired me to start papercrafting! I really love your work. I’ve gotten some good ideas watching this video.

I just found your video, a year late, and I am so glad I decided to spend almost an hour with you! Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas. I have boxes and bags of scraps that I cannot bear to toss. I just subscribed, and I am looking forward to your other videos.

Yes you have a calm voice, it doesn't irritates someone listening to you while I do my own stuff.

I could watch your videos all day your so talented and creative! I saw one of your videos where you shared your craft space saying how it's not the space or all the gadgets but making what you have work for you. I don't have a craft space now as im in a small apartment but I'm moving down south to Georgia in January where i will have a craft room so i have started buying some of the thing's in your video so im all set when im moved. Anyways i just want you to know your videos and knowelege does not go unappreciated.

I am also making a stamp positioning tool because I cannot afford a Misti. I am having so much fun and your nails are simply beautiful!

Love, love, love your videos!!! Yes, please follow up with a tutorial on using your new embellishments. Would love to see how you go about combining them.

Thank you for sharing your thought process as you work. I’m going to give this a try...and the calmness inspires me.

Just now watching this and my answer to "What do you do when Im Crafting?" well that depends on the mood. Some times l like the slience, some times i have crafty vids playing on the back ground.

When I am crafting, I like it quiet. I like that you stamp out saying ahead of time. You are giving some great tips throughout your tutorials. Thank you!

My favorite crafter to watch! Ty so much for letting us share your crafty time with you!

I have 4 boxes of scraps, cause I can't seem to throw anything out. Now I know what to do with them. These are all so cute. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Hello there... I've been watching all your embellishment-making videos, and I have to say that I have been really inspired by them. I have spent time, in recent days, trying my hand at making these. I have really enjoyed it! I too, enjoy the quieter nature of your videos, and the 'real' quality of your crafting. You're doing a terrific job, and I appreciate it.

I really enjoyed this crafting moment with you thank you

I know your video is last year but thanks. I am new to the craft world and all and your video is great to use as examples of what I can do even with scraps. I tried doing a just gather supplies and embellished some scraps for a build your stash collaboration that I joined in. So thanks again, I keep watching your videos.

Your creativity is amazing & your voice is so soothing!

I like it quiet. Right now I am embellishing jars and watching you. Love your videos, and you are a wonderful inspiration!

Enjoying your tutorials, especially the fact you prove we don't need the latest and often expensive gadgets. to create pretty things and have fun....thank you.

I am so glad you said, "use what you have". That is exactly what I am trying to do!

Really interesting vi, I learnt a lot of litter tips. Thank you very much for your time. I like listening to classical music when I make cards!

I love to listen to music. You are such an inspiration!

Really great in doing your scraps , you know what they say about trash? You turned yours into fantastic art ! Yes art and patience.. Great job...thank you for a great tutorial. Blessings.

I came across our video by accident and I love it. 🇦🇺

New to making embellishments. This has been so helpful. Take care.

I so love your video, I have so much scrap scrapbook papers, card stock etc. I dont have scallop sissors but im gonna get some for sure. I just bought a label maker yesterday at Walmart When I craft, usually I just have the T.V. on in the background for a little noise. LOL!!! Have a Great Day and God Bless you and your Family!!!

They all look lovely my dear and I enjoyed your chit chat while you crafted 🙂🌹🌹🌹

You are inspiring me to get out my card making supplies and get to work! Like how you just make something with no plans! Great job! Just found your channel today and am loving it!

I love this video! It's very helpful to see your process. Thank you!

Love your ideas and the calm way you craft. Very inspiring and goes to show that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make something beautiful. Thank you

I really like this video. Yes I love the calmness of your voice. Right now I craft in complete quiet. I have in the past, I would have a crafting KZread video playing on my tablet, right on my desk.
