Thanks friends and have an awesome day!

So much new my friends...

 I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year.  Happy 2025!  

Lots of new things going on with myself and with my businesses.  I am trying to get a bunch of videos created and loaded.  I am hoping to do a live sometime soon.  I would also like to do another sale online.  That might be in the works.  

I have created new branding for my Scraptrinkets line.  I started Scraptrinkets in 2004.  When I used to own and operate Love 2 Scrap, Scraptrinkets was my product line that I created and sold.  It was very much Tim Holtz' Idea-ology before Idea-ology was a thing.  I stopped creating under Scraptrinkets when I closed Love 2 Scrap in the summer of 2007.  I started Scraptrinkets back up again a few years later and have been creating a lot of products and kits since then.  This is my new Scraptrinkets brand/logo for the future.  I love how it turned out.  

There are lots of paper goods and vintage items coming.  Many of my items will be for sale in my Etsy shoppe.  You can check it out here:  Scraptrinkets on Etsy

Lots in store this coming year!  Make sure you check out all my social media.  Very exciting!

Commissioning work again...

 Have you wanted to get some scrapbook layouts done or created but don't have time, don't have supplies or simply just don't know where to start?  I am commissioning work once again.  I stopped doing commission work right before the pandemic but have been asked if I would do some again.  I am doing commission scrapbook layouts.  If there is anything else you are interested in, just send me a message at CreateAndPlayWithRenee@gmail.com and I can answer any questions you might have.  Do you want to see my style?  Check out my YouTube channel and my videos and see what kind of looks I like to create.

I will have my art studio back very soon...

 Well the move went well. I am LOVING my new house. My office is all set up but my art studio is still in progress. The studio used to be a hot tub room. My hubby and Brother-in-law just ripped out the hot tub and put the floor back in. We are in the process of putting the vinyl plank in, painting, wall papering and then adding all my furniture back in. I hope to have my space back and start creating again within the next couple weeks. I apologize for being MIA for the past number of months. Between working 70 hrs a week for 4 months and then moving... I will be back and operating as before very soon!

Sorry I have been MIA...

 I apologize for not being around and not posting any new content for the last few months.  Truth is I was working 70 hours a week from May-end of August.  I really had no time.  Right now I am in the process of moving and will be moved October 23.  I will be in full swing after that once my art room gets put back together and I have a space to start creating in again.  I do apologize for being MIA.  I hope to be creating again real soon!

New videos coming soon.....

 Hey everyone.  If you follow my YouTube channel you're probably wondering why I haven't had a new video lately.  They are coming!  I have been working up to 70 hours a week for the past month and I have just been busy and tired.  Not much time for anything else.  The videos are coming.  I promise!

New journals are coming...

 I am in the process of making 3 more journals and creating in 2 as we speak.  I will be showcasing these and filming as I work in these as well.  I am currently working full-time outside of my crafting.  My process has been slightly slowed down because I can only craft in the evenings and on weekends.  Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel at Create and Play with Renee or even remember www.Love2Scrap.ca which will take you there.  You don't want to miss out.  I will be doing a giveaway before long also.  When I hit the 1000 subs I will be doing a giveaway!
