Hi Everyone, pinch punch its the 1st of the month and launch day for our latest kit of the month and the last one in 2018.  I've had great fun this year creating each project for the kits and incorporating new paper lines into them too.  To close the year I've chosen the pretty Garden Goddess papers and created this stunning tall tag album.   The cover has a magnetic closure built in and each of the five pages also snap closed.  I love that noise :-) As always the kit includes all you need to make the project, along with videos that take you thorough how to assemble the album cover, create and add the pages and add the magnetic closures.  I designed the project as a vertical album but by cutting the 8 x 8 papers across you could make a horizontal album giving it a totally different look. There's lots of room to create a really fun photo album or memory book with this project to keep just for yourself or to give away as a gift.   Here's th...

Evening Everyone We're thrilled that our exclusive November Kit of the Month is proving so popular and loving the lovely feedback from you all.  We all know the song about Christmas being 'the most wonderful time of the year', and what better  way to save those daily memories in December than in this kit.  Each kit comes with the new Graphic 45 Christmas Magic 8 x 8 Paper Pad  packed full of nostalgic, vintage style colours and designs that we all love, along with all the materials, instructions and video's needed to make it up.  If you need any extra help we're available on e mail too.    We think it's one of those kits you can make up with your crafty friends ahead of December, especially when the weather is raining, pouring, snowing ... or anything else in between.  Pull up a chair, make yourself a hot chocolate and get creating - even if the weather outside is frightful... the fire inside's delightful'.  Making up your Dece...

Morning everyone, happy Sunday to you.  I love the start of a new month as it's kit launch time. WHOP WHOP.   For the October Kit I designed a new style of album cover with hidden magnetic closure, and used the bright and colourful 12 x 12 papers from the Patchwork collection by Stamperia to decorate the album cover and pages.  There's lots of trendy images running through the collection that were just perfect to turn into photo frames and neat little journaling tags.  Lots to flip up, fold out and slide about on the pages, and then at the back there's a neat file folder to hold lots of other bits and pieces you may want to keep in the album too.   Here's a few more pics and the full project video too.  Click on the video link below to see the full project  As always, everything you need to create the project is included in the kit.  Just use your own paper trimmer and tools, follow the instructions and short video...
