Well friends, as you may have noticed, I didn't blog as many tutorials this year as I would have liked. Of course life and work got in the way (like what!). And I won't even get into the kind of year it's been for EVERYONE! There's a topic that has no end to it. But to end this crazy, crazy year, I have compiled this list of your favourite (most seen, and most liked) projects of 2020, plus an honorable mention at the end. But before we begin, I would like to sincerely than

Well friends, it's that time of year as May is almost here. It's that time for the May Paper Craft Challenge! The May Paper Craft Challenge began in 2019 as an excuse for me to use up all my paper scraps. After our big craft room/basement renovation that we completed last April, I wanted a neater and smaller craft room area with minimal waste. And since crafting with paper is what I do best, I decided to start the challenge, but most of all, have fun with it! The idea is s

2019 was an interesting year for me for blogging. I remember starting the year off strong, with posts such as my cake boxes, then dwindling a bit some time around Valentine's. Possibly because I had our upcoming renovation a lot on my mind, and most of my craft room things had been cleared out of the house by then. Then the blog really slowed down during the months of March and April while the work in the basement took place. After moving our things back in, some time near

I am excited to start sharing some Christmas and holiday projects with all of you! This is one of my favourite times of the year, where I am so inspired and the ideas just keep on coming. In fact, over this past week I've completed six new crafts, and I have lots more up my sleeve. So fun! But before I go ahead and do that, I am giving you a ton of in-your-face inspiration right here in this post! You can also find all of the images below in my Pinterest board called "Christ

It is almost exactly four years to the day since I published my first post on WHC. Who can remember what it was all about? Honestly, I wasn't sure how to structure today's blog, but every year so far I've acknowledged my blogiversary, and I figured that I'll go until five years than wait for every 5-year milestone (if I ever make it there!) To keep it short and sweet, I still really love doing what I do. Of course, this isn't my full time gig. But when I have a chance to e

Hello, friends! I just wanted to pop in to give you all an update and recap on the May Paper Craft Challenge. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your involvement via all the love through shares, comments, and questions that you had for me. I have put in countless hours to pop out 22 paper crafts for the month of May (I shared one post every Monday through Friday, except for Victoria Day holiday). The concept wasn't conceived until well past the middle of April, so it w

Hello, friends! Welcome back after a long Easter weekend. I hope you had an amazing one. I have some news - over the last week, I decided to propose a challenge for myself and for this blog. Over the month of May, every Monday through Friday, I'll be sharing a different paper craft project right here with you every day! That's 22 in all (I won't be posting on Victoria Day), which is the most I've ever done in one month! Why? Well, there's no question that I enjoy crafting,

I shared a similar post to this one back in October if you remember: 1,000 paper crafts! Now I am sharing a few of my favourite DIY projects from my Pinterest board. It's not every day that I hit a milestone of over 1,000 pins in one category. What I consider to be DIY are projects that go beyond the paper realm. Some may include projects for the home, which you'll see a lot of here today. They use other materials such as wood, yarn, cork, gemstones and many, many more. So

Last week I shared with you 18 of my favourite projects from 2018. But I was curious to see which posts you liked the most. So I did a little search in my analytics and came up with this top 10 list. There was some overlap I see, but others that surprised me! It's all good information though because it will help me continue to share with you what you enjoy most in future posts. So here it goes, counting down from 10! BLOG: 10 MOST POPULAR IN 2018 10. Simple 3D Paper Heart

Though there's been a few changes in my life this past year, I will call it another successful year of blogging some really awesome crafts! At the end of every year as you know, I like to recap some of my accomplishments from the past year. So for today, I chose 18 of my favourite projects, which includes a few paper and washi tape crafts, seasonal projects, and other DIYs. These are projects that I had the most fun making, and have loved the outcome even more. My goal is t

This blog truly started for my love of paper and making paper crafts. Then recently I realized something: I've hit over 1,000 pins on Pinterest in my "Paper Crafts" board! Wowza! This board is kicking some major butt compared to all my other boards, but it's really no surprise I think. So today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite pins from it. Since I can't post all 1,000 photos here, I tried my best to give you a good mix. (Where I could, I also tried t

This past August marked three whole years for White House Crafts! Every year I've acknowledged my blogiversary in some way. Today I'm doing it again by sharing some of my favourite projects with you. I'm also throwing in a little perspective about blogging, how this site has adjusted to changes in my life, and what you should expect to see here in the future. As many of you know, White House Crafts started has an online shop for my handmade cards and gift tags. If you have
