We have reached Step 4 in the creation of this mini hybrid journal. Taking the basic folio created in step 3 I share how I decorated it, working thru ideas on choosing the papers, measuring, cutting and creating a couple of pretty tucks. You can check out how I made the folio right here
Continue readingHello, wonderful readers! This is the 2nd video in the series and today I am taking the next step in creating the Mini Hybrid Journal by constructing the first of the 2 folios that will make up the ‘hybrid’ part of the journal. The first one is the more straight forward of the two folios and there is a downloadable ‘recipe’ as well as a video to follow.
What is a Hybrid Journal – that basically means it has a couple of folios and then some regular pages in the middle. I am also making my first Medori-style feature to hold those middle pages together! There will be a total of 9 posts and videos – I hope that you will follow along with me as I work my way thru!

Continue readingA few days ago I share a gift packaged hand cream starting with a sheet of plain Basic White card and decorating it with stamps and ink before creating the box. After creating the box I had some pieces of decorated card left over which I just could not bear to waste………….. read on to see what I did with it! 🙂
Continue readingShaker Cards are such a lot of fun, especially for children but I am sure an adult would enjoy one as well! It was our youngest granddaughters birthday last week so I thought a fun card would be just perfect, particularly as she will not be having a party with friends and extended family this year.
We later found out that she wanted an ‘elephant’ cake for her birthday – which her talented parents made for her – so the Birthday Bonanza DSP, with the cute animals, I used for her card turned out to be in the right theme!
Rather than just have Thanksgiving projects during November and Christmas during December I am going to mix things up a little and scatter them over the coming weeks.
Today I have a really cute Christmas themed shaker card – unusually for me I have used 3 stamp sets on this one but it gave me the effect I was looking for. Continue reading
Today’s card using the ‘Celebrate Today’ Stamp Set is a shaker card, I have not done one of these before but I thought the balloon theme lent itself to a shaker card.
