Hi everyone,  I'm so excited to be launching our new 'Photo Booth' memory capturing system with you today.  Whether you're a memory maker and love creating tactile memory books to look back at, are documenting your family history, capturing fun moments from a wedding, new arrival, special event or wanting to collate a mix of scrapbook pages and photo montages our new Photo Booth is the perfect solution for you. When assembled the sturdy MDF cover measures H: 12 1/2" x W:  12 1/2" D:  2" has an inset magnetic closure, and gives you the perfect binder to add in a variety of inserts, depending on what you want to capture inside. Here's a few pictures of the inside of our featured samples.  .  As with any large project it takes a lot of paper to decorate the covers, inserts and all the additional flaps and fold outs you may want to add into your Photo Booth. For each of the samples in the video below I started with one 12 x 1...

Hi everyone, if you love teeny weeny projects that don't take too long to make this one might be for you.  Our greyboard laser cut ATC Box comes as a flat packed set, and measures 6" x 4" x 2 1/2" when made up. Here's a few pictures of the finished sample.  On its own, this cute little box is perfect for holding a whole range of things from 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" ATC cards (if you're a collector or swapper), an ATC sized banner for a special event, a box of tags or small cards to give as a gift, travel sized lotions and potions, a pair of socks or two, or maybe you're looking for a class project.   I used the Joy to the World papers to turn my decorated sample into a Christmas gift and then designed an easy to make ATC Album to fit inside it. Packed full of pockets and tags this little album is bigger than it seems and easy to make too. Join me for a walkthrough of the ATC Box and ATC Album project in the video below:  If you...

Hi everyone, woop woop it's Friday and release day for my latest large album and PDF Tutorial.  Altered in papers from the Lost in Paradise collection by Graphic 45 this album measures H: 9 3/4" W: 7 3/4" D: 3" and is full of tropical flora and fauna hot colours, flips flaps and photo spots for you to capture a treasured memory or event.   As always I had great fun matching the papers and colours designed by Diane and her team at G45 HQ to create the perfect combination for each page spread and a flow to the album before starting the basic page design process.  It took quite a while to get to what you see in the finished album as there are so many ways you can put the papers together, each giving a totally different vibe.  I loved the end result and hope you do too.  If you love the album and would like to make it yourself you can find a list of all products used in the project along with the link to the PDF Tutorial in the su...
