Where Creativity and Friendship Come Together
Preserve the moments that matter most, discover your creative confidence, and find a welcoming community that feels like home.
At Amy B Creates, paper crafting is about more than pretty projects. It’s about gathering around tables, sharing ideas, learning new tips, laughing until your cheeks hurt, and leaving with projects — and friendships — you’re proud of.
Whether you’re brand new, a seasoned scrapbooker, or somewhere in the middle, there’s a seat for you here.
Creative events that feel like coming home
From weekend scrapbook retreats to monthly local crops, Amy B Creates is a place to spread out, get inspired, and enjoy creative time with people who get it.
You’ll find:
Paper Party Scrapbook Retreats
Multi-day creative getaways with generous crop space, make-n-takes, prizes, and plenty of time to work on your projects. Current retreat offerings include 50 hours of cropping time, 8-foot table space, electricity, games, prizes, and make-n-takes.
Local Crops & Classes
Relaxed monthly creative days in Amy’s classroom with crafting, food, laughter, and community. Your current local crop page already promises “crafting, eating and lots of laughs” — keep that, because it sounds exactly like your brand.
Stampin’ Up Creativity
Project inspiration, products, catalogs, and hands-on learning for cardmakers, scrapbookers, and paper crafters.
It’s not just the paper. It’s the people.
Amy B Creates is built for crafters who want more than a project checklist. Around here, we believe creativity should feel welcoming, not intimidating.
You can come alone and leave with new friends.
You can ask questions without feeling silly.
You can learn at your own pace.
You can bring your unfinished albums, your big ideas, your Diet Coke, and your whole creative heart.
This is where paper, photos, stories, and friendship come together.

Hi, I’m Amy.
I’ve loved paper crafting since I was a little girl, creating alongside my mom and aunt. Today, I get to share that same joy through crops, retreats, classes, Stampin’ Up projects, and a creative community that feels like family.
I love helping people of all ages and skill levels feel comfortable, inspired, and ready to try something new.
Also: I love my family, my dogs April and Ellie, my chickens, ducks, geese, and a good Diet Coke. Around here, creativity and real life happily sit at the same table.
Don’t miss the next creative gathering.
