Interactive Layouts

Hello all

Yes I know its been a while but life gets ya at the best of times. 

Hasn't it been a strange year? So much happening. Not always good but that's what I use my craft for to keep me sane...

This time I would like to share my interactive scrapbook layouts that I have taught myself to do. I have put in the links to the YouTube videos for you. 

I would encourage all to have a go at this. you can tell a whole story, photos journaling and ephemera, in just one double interactive layout. 

There are lots of YouTube tutorials that you can learn from or get ideas from. Check it out.

Hope you enjoy my videos and please do have a go.

   

Until next time... CRAFT ON!!!

Summer Retro Journal

Hello again my friends,

Today I would like to show you a journal that has been made with papers that were handed onto me by my friend. I wasn't really to sure what I could do with these  papers as they aren't really my cup of tea.

But then like most things we create an idea formed and BINGO this little video below is what I came up with. 

So don't get rid of those papers that you aren't fond of, you just never know what wonderful creations you can create with it or if you do hand them on make sure it is someone you know will do it justice. 

Here it is my Summer Retro Journal 

Enjoy!!

Until next time... CRAFT ON!!!!

Christmas is coming......

 Hello again my friends

Yes I know its early and I am usually the first to complain about the advertising etc. being done to early. But this year I think is a little different. I think we need things to distract and amuse ourselves more so now than ever.

There will be a lot of people not having family gatherings this year, probably for the first time ever, so lets give them something else to do rather being sad about there situation...…lets make the world smile!

Lets have an extra long awesome Christmas season this year!

My friend Marie at #thoughtfulstudio has launch the most gorgeous paper collection for the yuletide season called, funnily enough, the "Yuletide with Tessa" collection. 

The collection is available in Cardstock or Vellum.

There are 5 sheets of patterned paper and 4 sheets of cutouts, Also available in 8, yes I said 8 different colors.

Now if you like them all you can get the whole lot in one kit also, saves having to make that decision on which one not to get hey.

I have added pictures of each color below.

Until next time.... CRAFT ON!!!
