#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 21

We're already in week 3 of ABC April, which means we have only a week left. Today is Day 21, our letter is R. My project is Recycle. I have used some packaging pieces that most people would typically toss in the trash and made lots and lots of bases for future makes. I just love all I was able to die cut from packaging alone. And I haven't even started using the products yet! I ended up with quite a stash, didn't I. What do you think?!

Lots of tags. large ones to tiny ones

Few more tiny tags and lots of flag banners.

More tags, a mini envelope (it measures 2x2) and a coin envelope.

And even more tags! 

I'll be using these in upcoming makes, so keep an eye out to see if you can recognize them. All of these gorgeous goodies come from the packaging for the new 49 and Market, Faded Memory Lane Collection.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 19 Q

Q - not the easiest letter of the alphabet for crafty ideas. I thought about Queen, but I did that last year. Also thought about Quill, but couldn't come up with how to use that one. I decided on something odd, Quirky, if you will. I think this works. 

Might be my new favorite dangle. I love it.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 18 P

Day 18 of #abcapril2026 is P for Polka dots and Pockets. Design by idaizee (see her you tube channel for tutorial on this one page wonder folio.)

Papers used here are the 12x12 paper pad called Fabulous by Authentique. Aren't they so cute!?  

I also used lots of stamps, most of these are by Heidi Swapp. 

We also have a hidden paper clip on this pocket. Look at Rita's swimsuit ... even she has polka dots!

Day 17, O - One page wonder

One page wonders are always fun, I think. There are so many clever people out there who come up with the coolest ideas. This one I made today is about as simple as they come. One sheet of 8.5x11 paper, fold and sew, or glue if you aren't the sewing type. I used a page from Crafty by Toni's 30K Freebie digital kit for my project. Butterfly, photo, and other paper embellishments are included in the kit. These papers are so gorgeous - and she has generously given them free! Check out her ko-fi shop and download your kit.

I used a velcro closure for mine.
