3 Quarter Designs Wedding Bliss

Creating Scrapbook pages for me is now all about the paper. Rarely do I have photos chosen as photos are more limited. However I know some day I'll have the perfect photos to seal the final look. 

Today it is very much about the 3 Quarter Designs Wedding Bliss paper! I will be making Wedding cards however the layout page designed is really about love. Not Wedding themed at all.

Hope you enjoy the inspiration. List of supplies linked below.

What's new!!

Hi everyone,

Haven't been diligent to post to this forum in a while. Want you to know crafting is still happening and you can follow on what I'm doing best on Facebook and you tube. 

I'll attempt to keep this space more up to date moving forward as I do love to read a good blog post!

October and November DIY Calendar

Been some time since posting here! Don't fretting though as lots of creative projects have been unveiled either over on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. Follow me on all three so you don't miss out.

Today sharing the calendar for October and November. 

DIY Calendar

Today I did something that wasn't really planned. I recently purchased a DIY Calander @Younique Scrapbook Store and today I started it! Normally we do our years January to January however this month marks 1 year being on the Younique Design Team so I thought it would be a wonderful way to capture the next year's classes and other crafty fun. 

There's room to design your cover. I decided to use a photo of my craft space since this is where the magic happens. 

As well each month you have a blank page which I will use to create a layout in celebration of the month and then your calendar. 

Not sure about you but I have a stash! I got in that stash of stamps, empherma and inks and started to create the month. I'll add more as the days pass to fill it up real nice. 

Hope this brings you inspiration to start your own DIY Calendar.  Link here to purchase.

Paper line used was Stamperia Secret Diary- can't go wrong with any Stamperia lines!
