Mighty Networks App and Apple In-App Purchases Notice

Attention Apple iOS Users (iPhone, iPad):

Mighty Networks currently partners with Apple to offer an iOS Mighty Networks App to members and users (for both Apple and Android).

Members can access the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network through the Mighty Networks App or on the network website.

However, if you are an Apple iOS user, keep in mind that Apple charges a $30.00 In-App Purchase fee if you use the Mighty Networks App to purchase any premium content (ex: classes, workshops, premium groups).

Because I feel that this is an outrageous amount, I have disabled the in-app purchase option for iOS devices on the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network platform.

OPTION: If you are an iOS user (iPhone, iPad), you will need to use the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network website (not the iOS Mighty Networks App) to purchase premium content (i.e. crops, class) OR go to the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Networks site using the web browser on your iPhone. You will not be able to purchase the crop using the Mighty Networks App on our Apple iOS device.

This does not apply to In-App Purchases on Android devices.


Thank you so much for your continued support! I cannot wait to hang out with you! If you have any questions, email victoria@victoriamariescraps.com.

Did You Catch the Replay? YouTube Livestream Scrapbook Process Video!

The recorded replay of the Victoria Marie YouTube Livestream Scrapbook Process Video (aired 10/19/2020) is available for your viewing pleasure!

During this live session, I created a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout featuring the Tori Kit by Felicity Jane.

Every year, I create a scrapbook layout to celebrate my mom’s birthday. She turned 72 years young this month. Sadly, in the midst of my busy schedule, I totally forgot her birthday! I felt so horrible (still do). But, the day was saved with tons of apologies, hugs and kisses, handmade cards, and dinner at Red Lobster. Mom loved it!

Because this layout has a really large title, I didn’t have much room for journaling. To remedy this, I created hidden journaling, attached on the back of the layout using a handmade pocket. The tab invites the viewer to read the hidden journaling.

Be sure to check out the recorded replay for this project! I will be back LIVE on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel this Friday with another scrapbooking project!

My Holiday Scrapbooking Cart…Because I’m EXTRA!

So, I did a thing…

With everything going on in the world right now (i.e. pandemic, crazy politics, civil unrest), I needed a project to lift my spirits and to bring a bit of joy and sparkle into my studio.

I present to you…my Holiday Scrapbooking Cart!

During the holiday season, this cart will house all of my December Daily and other holiday themed products. I wanted something that was easy to maintain, quick to assemble, and could be rolled around my craft room. I love the idea of having all of my holiday products in one spot when I am ready to work on my December Daily and other projects.

To see a quick tour of this cart, click on the video below or head to the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel!

Materials Used:

  1. Hudson Rolling Cart by Recollections (Michaels)
  2. Three Tiered Letter Organizer – I purchased this organizer over three years ago from my local Tuesday Morning. I repurposed it to house tags, chipboard stickers, stamps, and extra page protectors for my December Daily Album.
  3. Small Metal Containers – Michaels (purchased two years ago); they contain chipboard numbers, metal embellishments, acrylic pieces, and wooden tags.
  4. Square Fabric Containers – Target Dollar Spot (purchased in Spring 2020); houses pocket cards, die cuts, twine and fibers.
  5. Condiments Tray – Dollar Spot; contains small dimensional embellishments to such as leatherette pieces, chipboard, and wood veneer.
  6. Twinkle Lights – Target Dollar Spot
  7. Bow – ribbon from my stash!

The top level of my cart also houses my 2018 – 2020 December Daily Albums. Sadly, my 2018 and 2019 albums are not finished. I plan on completing these albums before the end of the year while working on my 2020 album – wish me luck! LOL!

I am so excited to start my holiday projects! Having an organized spot for all of my goodies, complete with twinkle lights and bow, certainly lifts my spirit!

I hope you are inspired to create your own Holiday Scrapbooking Cart! Start by looking for items around your home that can used to organize your materials. Keep in mind that this project can be done on a budget! Also, you can use easily re-theme this cart for different seasons, other holidays, etc.!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure take the time to add a bit of joy and sparkle to your creative space, corner, or nook!
