My Favorite Supplies of 2024 – From Junk Journaling Must-Haves to Surprising Finds!
Hey my crafty friends! I recently dropped a video on my favorite supplies of 2024, and I thought I’d do a quick summary here for anyone who might’ve missed it
I have some incredibly exciting news to share—I’ve been selected as a 2025 Design Team Member for Paper Rose Studio! 🎉
If you’ve been following my creative journey, you already know how much I adore working with gorgeous papers, whether it’s for cardmaking, junk journals, mini albums, or any excuse to layer, ink, and create something beautiful.
So, when I got the notification I had been accepted to the Paper Rose Studio’s Design Team, you better believe there was some serious happy dancing (and maybe a little “OMG is this real?” moment).
Why Paper Rose Studio?
For those of you who might not be familiar, Paper Rose Studio is an Australian company known for their stunning paper collections, intricate dies, stencils, and embellishments that make crafting an absolute dream. Their products are designed with cardmakers and scrapbookers in mind, but let’s be honest—junk journalers like me can’t resist them either!
What I love most is their versatility. Their patterned papers are perfect for elegant handmade cards, but they also work beautifully for layered junk journal pages, mixed media projects, and mini albums. Basically, if it involves paper and creativity, Paper Rose has something for it!
What’s Coming in 2025?
As a Design Team Member, I’ll be sharing lots of creative inspiration using Paper Rose products—so get ready for fun projects, tutorials, and plenty of crafty goodness! I can’t wait to push my cardmaking skills even further while also incorporating their gorgeous designs into my junk journals, interactive folios, and beyond.
This is going to be an amazing year, and I’m so honored to be part of such a talented team (check out the full 2025 Design Team photo below!). A huge thank you to Paper Rose Studio for this opportunity—I can’t wait to get started!
Stay tuned for my first project, and if you haven’t yet, be sure to check out Paper Rose Studio—trust me, you’ll fall in love with their designs just as much as I have!
💖 Happy crafting
