    I always learn so much from watching your My Favorite Crafty Things videos. Looking forward to trying some of the black Alcohol ink paper. Love your stacking cube dividers for precut cards/papers. I’ll need to work on clearing off a shelf so I have room for some of those. Thank you so much for your time in preparing these videos. So very helpful and very much appreciated.

    Personally, Jennifer, I think your explanatory videos on how to try new techniques are the best I’ve seen. You explain simply and completely, you have such a pleasant voice and demeanor, and you seem to always be seeking for how your viewers can get the most “bang for their buck” value-wise. I appreciate your creativity and willingness to try new things, and think it would be a riot to get to craft with you in person! Please keep up your good work! Gratefully, Laurie

This one was especially helpful as I was just beginning to search for a good white cardstock to make my card bases. I will definitely try the two you mentioned as your favorites.

    Oh my, Jennifer, wish I would have had this info on card stock when I started out making cards! I normally like to just dive in to whatever I’m interested in without reading the manual and when I was introduced to card making I was never pleased with my results, so I stopped for several years. thankfully, I found your videos and Gina K online and have learned what I need to have better results! Having SO much fun making cards now. Thank you for doing the research for us! Have a beautiful day.
