unique and quirky scrapbooking and crafting
So I’ve been toiling away hours working on a new project. It’s an online store to sell some kits I’ve been making. I will probably make some in the future that emulate some of the pages I’ve done in the past too. I hope it’s a success of course and it’s been very fun to [...]
Talk about easy! If you need a quick way to make your photo take up a bit more space on the page, then look to your mats. Here I had a photo that was taken in a landscape orientation as opposed to portrait orientation. I had printed the photo before I could alter it electronically, [...]
So you found a perfect sheet of paper for a particular page if only it didn’t have “x” on it? That’s great! No really! That’s great! You can still use that sheet of paper for your page…if you can get creative enough to cover the unwanted part. This page had the green color I wanted [...]

I found a really neat option at my local scrapbook store that allows me to make a 2-page spread every month. This is good for me because it not only keeps me on track by making me do the pages but it keeps me on track to complete a book for the year. So how [...]
If you have one or two too many photos to fit into your layout somehow, then consider tucking one behind another. It’s surprisingly simple to pull off and you probably already have the supplies to do it. Here’s what you do: choose the picture you want to show all the time on the page [...]
