Accordion Mini Album using the Bee Mine Suite
Hello. On my Facebook live, 15.02.24, I shared my Accordion Mini Album with you. I did say I would blog the measurements and photos, sorry it has taken me a while to do this. But here it is. The base pages for the album are a Cal Summers design and I have added pockets and flaps, plus the decoration as I desired. I just can't get enough of the Bee Mine Suite and have used a pack of DSP (designer series paper) already. The bright and bold images are great fun and are perfect for so many...
Creating a Floral Card for a Colour Challenge
Hello and welcome to February's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. For this month's theme we have a colour challenge. I do enjoy a colour challenge, sometimes it really makes you think creatively. Stampin' Up!'s full range of coordinating products makes this challenge perfect.

For me they just fit right...

Using Vellum on a Double Gate Fold Card for T4S Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to Februarys Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. This month's theme is Vellum, there are so many ways that you can use vellum in card making. In the past I have used to soften a background, which may have been a bit overpowering, to provide a separation between background and focal image. I have also used it with Stampin' Blends and Alcohol to create a background. I am sure you can think of many more. Today's card uses vellum as part of my main image. I have created a double gate fold...
