 Here is the 2nd part of my Zig Zag Accordion Album project and you can see my first blog post HERE YouTube walkthrough video link further down the post.  Links to all products used at the bottom of this post.

Today I am sharing a Zig Zag Accordion Album made using Ciao Bella Paper Sparrow Hill Collection . The base shape was created following a tutorial from the talented album maker extraordinaire Cal Summers. Link to YouTube Walkthrough video below.

 For my second main project using the Ciao Bella Paper Enigma Collection, I wanted to create something that would sit alongside my Spy Bureau Project and that I could inter change pieces between the two. Introducing the Secret Spy Desk Tidy ... Full video tutorial and templates can be found further down this post.

I do love it when you can combine your crafty goodies to create a project. Today I am sharing an art journal book I have created combining a whole host of Dolly Dimples Crafts products. I have used a mix of  my Shady Designs stamps Dolly Dimples Crafts Living Hinge Dolly Dimples Crafts A4 Ring Binder Kit   Dolly Dimples Crafts Strength - Sistors of Serenity stamp set

My goodness how quickly has a month gone by! The first Monday of each new month, a wonderful bunch of creatives get together for a YouTube Hop to inspire you all. The theme this month is "Upcycling". Here's my project ... See more photos of the finished design further down the post along with all YouTube links.

 I have so wanted to do this for a very long time. Main reason ... when I wear anything white, it can be dirty before I've even left my bedroom. This means I have a stack of old white t-shirts that are okay to wear under something but not good enough to wear as is. As part of my GelliArts Artist challenges, the perfect opportunity arose! Links to YouTube videos are below.

Sometimes you just have to get everything out and create with no plan. That's exactly what I have done with this mixed media art journal piece using my Shady Designs stamps and stencils . I've combined so many things on these pages: background building, doodling, stamping, texture paste, stenciling, collage and the list goes on & on. It was a fabulous way to while away a few hours.

I have been wanting to use image stamps with my Shady Designs stamps for a long while now and recently Dolly Dimples Crafts released a NEW set of stamps called " Sisters of Serenity ". Oh my, I couldn't believe how well they worked with my background ideas. The above art journal page was created in a Facebook Live and was created step by step. I have now uploaded the live to my YouTube channel to make it easier for everyone to follow along and craft with me. Link below.

Another month has passed and it is time again to share the latest YouTube Hop collaboration for Crafting Together with All Brands . Each month a group of different creatives from a range of different brands/companies, come together to create YouTube videos around one theme. The theme this month is Summer Vibes and I decided to create an art journal page taking inspiration from the mood board ...  Links to YouTube video and all those taking part is below.
