General Scrapbooking Things
Hello crafty friends. I hope all is well, and that you are taking care of yourselves. Today I gave a class making a mini camera album. I used the gorgeous Celebr8 paper “Whiskers and Paws” paper for my album as I wanted to do an album honour our dogs and cats. I used a die … [Read more…]
We are currently in National Scrapbook Month here in South Africa, following the 4th of February which was National Scrapbook Day (NSD) this year. My local craft shop approached me to do a demonstration for the ladies who had booked. I was so honoured to be chosen, and immediately put on my thinking cap. The … [Read more…]

One of the latest classes at my local craft store was to make a sweet mini album with masculine-themed paper and embellishments. As with any class, you could choose any paper and theme, but I thought it would be fun to make one for Jabu. I used some old autumn-themed papers in browns, greens, and … [Read more…]

So many things I love and so little time to make all the projects. 🙂 One of the recent releases of paper at my local scrapbook store was from Penelope Dee (Indigo). It was just too gorgeous. Soft, watercolour-y and just beautiful. I have so many photos … [Read more…]

The first was a cluster embellishment using scraps and little bits you may have left over from projects, given by Delia Russell. The essential thing is to make a rosette or “block” of paper flags of various sizes, and then a smaller embellishment … [Read more…]
