If you love washi tape, raise your hand!  In today's blog post, I am sharing my NEW YouTube tutorial video on how to make a washi tape circle background.  Link Here  This video features a look at the supplies I used, a tutorial and the cute story behind our picture. I saw this fun circle sketch on the "Sketchy Saturday" June 6th challenge over at  Two Peas Refugees and had to try it. The sketch used a circle as the background. With all the washi tape I have now, I decided to make my circle with various patterns and colors of tape. It turned out so pretty and that's when I thought this would make a fun tutorial video. Take a look! Supply list is in the description box of the video. Here are a few more pictures of this resourceful project. Circle made with Heidi Swapp & Jen Hadfield washi tapes. Loved adding brown ink to edges and crinkling up the flowers for some texture. I distressed the edge of the circle to create dimension. Love...

Happy Tuesday! What a crazy year 2020 has been. With all the emotional ups and downs, journaling has been a source of comfort for me. This year, I started using traveler's journals and I love the style. It allows me to use my scrapbook supplies and imagination to create some expressive pages. This video was inspired by a friend Liz who gave me the idea. Thanks Ms. Liz! My new tutorial video featured supplies I use, an inside look, how I create a page and my thoughts on the recent racial injustice and the positive improvements. Take a look! Here are a few of the pictures from the video. Supplies are from Joann.com and Amazon.com. (Shopping list is in the description box of the video.) I started to rewrite the right page for the video but I am glad I didn't. Mistakes are welcomed in my journal! Now I can say, what a great year to journal! We are living in a special historic time and I want to document these moments in writing. I encourage you to wr...

Today's post is about a super cute mini journal album. I was inspired to make this project after I watched Mark Montano's YouTube Mini Art Journal tutorial. He always does great crafts and I had to try this one. Check out his  YouTube Channel  and his  Website . Here is my NEW YouTube tutorial video. The journal size is 2 1/2 x 3 inches. All you need is some cardboard, glue, lots of patterned paper and scissors/paper trimmer. These little booklets are a fun way to document your thoughts and pictures. Also, your kids would love this! Take a look! I had a ball making this album and I had to make a few more. This one was a little larger and that was a fun challenge! You can used up some of your stickers, scraps of paper and other supplies to fill up these little books. I hope you will give it a try. Thanks for visiting and have a good day.

Today, I am proud to present my very first YouTube tutorial video. I have been wanting to do this for some years and the moment is finally here. Yay!!! In this video, I will show you how I make my 6x6 sized mini album cards. I started making them ages ago and they make wonderful keepsake gifts. Click  My Mini Albums  page to see more of my work. Here are more pictures featuring this special sample card. I added vellum paper to give this card a little extra special something. I think I like it better this way. Pages 1 & 2 Pages 5 & 6 Also, here is another sample I made as I was practicing for this video. Love this one, too! I enjoyed making this video and I plan to create more very soon.
