July Audiobook Recommendation: Lore of the Tides

Lore of the Tides swept me away with its gripping sense of urgency as the characters raced to uncover the lost tombs. The quest pulses with intensity, each chapter raising the stakes and making it impossible to put the book down. What truly sets this story apart are the tangled emotions—love and betrayal twist together, forcing the characters (and the reader) to question where loyalty truly lies. The journey toward trusting one’s own inner power is beautifully woven throughout, adding depth and resonance.

The pacing starts off measured, allowing you to settle into the world, but soon accelerates, building momentum until the final, breathtaking pages. There’s a fair amount of spice—enough to add heat and tension, but never so much that it overshadows the heart of the narrative. "Lore of the Tides" balances adventure, romance, and self-discovery in a way that feels both thrilling and meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone who loves stories where every choice matters and every emotion is earned.

Note from Tracy: This post is a beloved part of my crafty archives! While FabScraps has sadly closed its doors, I’ve kept this post live to celebrate the incredible artistry of the design team and to keep these Artist Trading Coin (ATC) ideas available for your inspiration. the entire sheet. You can use a 2.5-inch hole punch or a die (like I did). As many of you remember, we’ve tackled many paper challenges together—from inchies and moos to the classic Artist Trading Card. But the ATC (Artist Trading Coin) remains one of my favorite formats for stretching creativity in a small space! WARNING: Making these 2.5-inch mini masterpieces is highly addictive! To create these coins, I used a cover-weight cardstock base and colored them with Distress Oxides , finishing with archival black ink stamps. Using vintage-inspired papers and a 2-inch circle die, I layered the designs, adding faux stitching with a brown fine-tip marker and a few adhesive gems for sparkle. A small...

Making Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps Easier with Cricut Cut Files (No More Fussy Cutting!) Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen. And let me confess something: that diminished my joy a bit. I wanted everyone to love them as much...
