Happy New Year 2018

Aloha!!

It’s Hannah here and I wanted to stop in and say hello!! I want to thank you all for following The Crafty Maven Getaway!! We love inspiring you and creating content that helps you want to create, craft and share what you are working on.

This year you are going to see a few new changes especially as the year goes on. I hope you are as excited as we are about these changes.

Change 1, we are switching to only have a monthly Inspiration Piece. As much as I love making these pieces, or sharing ones the team has made. It really makes more sense to have one a month. This will give you more changes to see the team use a piece in many different ways.

Change 2, We are adding more tutorial and organizing type videos to the channel. We would love to do product reviews, and other videos that can help you in your crafting. If you have ideas or things you would love to see us talk about in the videos add it to the comments or in our FaceBook group.

Change 3, We are bringing back For The Love Of Homemade Kits!!!! I hope you are excited for this one. Khristina is going to be making her own kit from the inspiration piece and using it all month and sharing videos on Sundays. Many of the other team members will be joining in with the homemade kits too. I really hope you play along with us and share your kits and layouts with the hashtag #ForTheLoveOf HomemadeKits or share it in our Facebook Group!!

Change 4, You are going to see more of me. I am planning on doing a weekly FB Live or YT live video. I really want to encourage you all to create the things you love and love what you are creating. This month I am working out the best days to share with you all. But I promise you will see plenty of me. I will also be bringing on some of the group with me to talk about scrapbooking topics in the facebook group.

Change 5, something you may have noticed already, the design team will be sharing their layouts and videos on the blog as well. I want you to really get to know them. They work so hard to share with you. This blog is a great place to start to build that relationship. Help encourage them by leaving them lots of love and comments on either their youtube posts or their blog posts.

Change 6, We will be having 2 online crops next year. I am also hoping to do a few more youtube hops throughout the year for your viewing pleasure.

Change 7, this year I am working on highlighting scrapbooking companies that we enjoy and want to share with you. I am hoping to get product in my teams hands to help inspire you. Last year we highlighted Cheeky Studio by my lovely friend Tuesdae who is a veteran Youtube Scrapbooker and such an inspiration. I would love to highlight more scrapbookers who have worked hard to follow their dreams. So look forward to seeing some cool things from us, and maybe even some giveaways.

As we start another scrappy new year I really look forward to getting to know you and giving you inspiration that you want to see. That is my highest priority. I can’t wait to bring you some great stuff this year!!

I look forward to more chit chats and more inspiration!! Until next time stay inspired!! Untitled-1

A New Facebook Group

Hey Crafters!! I just wanted to come over here real quick and share that we have a new Facebook group community for those of you interested.  The Community Page on Facebook that we post daily is more like a blog and not easy to comment and share your creative projects with us. We want to be inspired by our viewers too. We want to have that interaction. If that’s something you are interested in, head over to The Crafty Maven Getaway Destination FB Group!!! We look forward to seeing you there!!

Aloha, until next time, Hannah

Something a little special

Here in the United States we are celebrating Independence Day today. Many of us are lighting our grills, preparing yummy food, sipping on lemonade, and getting ready to see a fantastic firework display. These small and fun things help us remember and celebrate all the hard obstacles our forefathers had to overcome to make this a better place for us. I hope all my fellow American Crafters have a great day surrounded by family and friends!!

To help wet your appetite for scrappy goodness, Megan has put together a slideshow of some layouts created this month by just some of the Youtubers who will be posting on the channel. I think we have around 30 or so youtubers posting in July and August, so it is going to be epic!! There are even more Youtubers joining us in the following months too!!

Have a great day today and I hope you enjoy seeing this small video!!!!

Getting Excited!!

July is finally here and the YouTubers involved in The Crafty Maven Getaway YouTube Channel are getting really excited!! We have been getting our inspiration picked out, picking out sketches or layouts to lift, coming up with a title image!! We can hardly wait. The wait isn’t really too much longer either!! I hope you are making a wishlist of your favorite YouTubers and pulling out your trimmers and adhesive to scrap along with us!!

I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peak at the inspiration pieces we are using for our first week at The Crafty Maven Getaway YouTube channel. Hopefully this will help get you in the mood to scrap and play with your crafty stuff along with us!!

Both of these pieces were found on Pinterest and you can find them pinned on our Pinterest board from where they were pinned originally.

Don’t forget on Sunday, July 5th, we will start posting videos on The Crafty Maven Getaway YouTube Channel, can’t wait to see you there!!!

Aloha,

Hannah
