Page Tour Video - Finding Free Scrapbooking Supplies

I’ve uploaded a video here to show you a couple of 8×8 scrapbooking pages.  Both pages were made with items I have collected around the house, such as a jar label, a drink can ring pull, string and “back of the draw” buttons!

As much as I love proper scrapbooking stash, I do enjoy the satisfaction [...]

A great use for those Green flowers!

Here is a little tutorial from CheekyMagpie.com about making use of green flowers from your stash.  Basically it is a case of making “3D” flowers using more usual petal colours and then using the green flowers last to make the sepals.  A good idea for making delicate little 3D embellishments for a scrapbooking page or [...]

I call this a “style” as opposed to a technique because, as I am about to show, you can achieve the look in a number of [...]

Two Ideas to get you Scrapbooking Again

I was in conversation with my mum this week, when on a visit, and she was voicing concerns about the fact that she had soooo many photos that she really “should” scrapbook. You know… all the ones she has inherited from her parents, along with all the photos of her life up to this point.
This is [...]
