I posted a video a while ago about how to make your own page kit from your own scrapbooking supplies (Own Scrapbook Kit Article) The video has been included in this post below.
Recently I had a comment left on the video at my You Tube channel, and I copy it here as it illustrates a common [...]
I’ve had lots of comments on the recent video I posted as to how to Quickly make single sided paper into Double sided using stamps!
I thought I would just post one of the questions and my answer to it here as it’s relevant!
Q: Ibkristycat asked: what are some scrapbooking ideas for using double sided paper?? [...]
I have made a quick video showing how you can use your stamps to create a complimentary design on the back of single sided scrapbook papers to make it double-sided paper.
Not ground-breaking in news, but this has caused a number of “ah ha” moments in people when I have explained it! [as the first comment [...]
I do get fed up every time I read “the first thing you need to do as a beginner to scrapbooking is buy an album, a few papers and some adhesive”!

This is a Scrapbooking Page I made a while ago, but I wanted to show you some elements from that page because they are useful ones.
In the Page Tour Video below I show you the interactive element of this page (flip up picture with hidden journaling), what the background is made from and if you have kids [...]
I mave made another Page Tour Video of an 8×8 Scrapbook Page, and this time it’s an interactive one with no less than 4 photographs on one page! (Video at the end of this post)
If you use interactive items such as mini books, in this case a mini concertina (or accordian) album, you can cram in [...]
I thought I would show you some of my recent experimenting! I photocopied a piece of material, which is something I have done a few times before, but this piece was not only a silk (and therefore had a sheen to it) but it also had embroidery on it too.
I wanted to see how it would [...]
