Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Australia Day 2020 <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this Australia Day, I am going to take the time to be grateful for all that I have and the people that are in my life especially after the devastating bushfires that put all eyes on Australia recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My word for 2020 is 'thrive' and I chose it because I noticed lately that my attitude when coming across adversity was just to get through it, coping one way or another. I wanted to get out of this 'survive' mentality and really bring awareness to what was happening around me, look for the good in the bad, see who my real friends were, grow through the experience and really thrive under hard circumstances. I have read so many inspirational stories from bushfire survivors (and survivors in general) that really inspire me and bring much hope and comfort in humanity.</div>

Another habit I am implementing this year is taking time out for quiet reflection and meditation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've started the<a href="https://youtu.be/--jhKVdZOJM"> 30 day Yoga Challenge with Adriene</a> and I've been enjoying the beautiful summer weather and my backyard immensely.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Im so exciting to be back and crafting on the design team after being away all year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw the beautiful papers that Aunty Vera had chosen as November's theme I knew I just had to squeeze in some time to come up with a worthy project for our Australiana theme this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the beautiful papers from the Sunburnt Country collection by Couture Creations, I have come up with an accordion booklet that allows you to utilise both sides of the paper instead of always having to chose one or the other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To decorate the inside of the booklet, I used the cut apart pages from 'Sunburnt Country' as well as some ephemera from Kaisercraft's Open Road 2018 collection which I am slowly running out of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you open the booklet, this is what you see </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUPELPz6jpjZclQ4dWDBMeH40UyK4SZZWszdpS93NZN8vgOtjwgvfwQFyT3MFoHS33uFAJzxGk6mj6yP4MKtHwteZH2gxW67Mxl9QgewuBN3CK8-sBzk6T0g0iHCdqafUCdZZZKXV8ixZ/s1600/IMG_4023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUPELPz6jpjZclQ4dWDBMeH40UyK4SZZWszdpS93NZN8vgOtjwgvfwQFyT3MFoHS33uFAJzxGk6mj6yP4MKtHwteZH2gxW67Mxl9QgewuBN3CK8-sBzk6T0g0iHCdqafUCdZZZKXV8ixZ/s320/IMG_4023.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can then pull the pages out to the right to see one side that is wonderfully decorated with ephemera that evokes Aussie nostalgia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And when you pull the booklet to the left side, you get to enjoy the 'B' side of the paper that people normally glue down. Accordion is my go to method for when I can't decide which side of the paper I like most. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The little side panel on the right has a beautiful sentiment which I added using the 'Open Road' stamp set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiln3mEcSSR3xGr3LDEbD8TN6q_i_IMELQpS1pm0pXdlxIdY_SnQsJgMJTCqoOVRFhjvH4pjwWUKDDRiCNg_UGI09VOomh-tLr5NI9KwgVJqmKbN5O9sgV7BGGKqO04eqaLsPa8U8pXRXSQ/s1600/IMG_4037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiln3mEcSSR3xGr3LDEbD8TN6q_i_IMELQpS1pm0pXdlxIdY_SnQsJgMJTCqoOVRFhjvH4pjwWUKDDRiCNg_UGI09VOomh-tLr5NI9KwgVJqmKbN5O9sgV7BGGKqO04eqaLsPa8U8pXRXSQ/s320/IMG_4037.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The left inside of the booklet has a little pocket which can accomodate a little journalling card which I made into a faux postcard. I did not want to cover up the 'Made in Australia' focal point on the paper so put the pocket up higher up on the page than I normally would have.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next, is the first page you see in the accordion ensemble. I love this cheeky pair of salmon crested Moluccan Cuckatoos and so when I came across the 'Are we there yet?' ephemera piece, I decided to make an ephemera cluster that played with their personality. This cluster serves as a tuck spot for journaling cards or pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaqaGFGc75fESSaHIoD_PEPvj9CkMFbXeiRv4TsMN_6EJyK3OuTcTXy4Nk5pV3kjjySfzXTsq51dBAZhHoONjMGe-tFRZNCw1aOMy4CtUkvVFTpJ51y-i3b0_r8oTTGVGalm49rW-QORZ/s1600/IMG_4032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaqaGFGc75fESSaHIoD_PEPvj9CkMFbXeiRv4TsMN_6EJyK3OuTcTXy4Nk5pV3kjjySfzXTsq51dBAZhHoONjMGe-tFRZNCw1aOMy4CtUkvVFTpJ51y-i3b0_r8oTTGVGalm49rW-QORZ/s320/IMG_4032.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we have the sugar bush (Proteus flower) paper which I highlighted by choosing the similar 4"x6" journaling card which can be flipped up to provide a writing spot as well as a place for a photo. In the bottom right hand corner, I added a 3"x4" journaling card that serves as a tuck spot. To cover the join between the 2 cars, I added a die-cut of a Waratah flower.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the next page, I loved this majestic Australian Ringneck Parrot and so it was easy to pick the design for his page. I used the flying theme and added a compass and a 'where to next' travel sign along with the 'open road' badge at the bottom which is propped up with 3D foam so that you can tuck papers and such in there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the page, I created a pocket out of a 4"x6" card and decorated around it in true Aussie road sign style</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And on the last page on this side of the accordion, I loved these 2 parrots and pictured them as travel buddies having outback adventures all over Australia so decorated that page with ephemera that told such a tale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other side of the accordion, here is how I decorated those pages, each telling a different story and showcasing beautiful Australian bush flora, fauna and culture.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am back to share some more Valentine Day cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you missed my first set of cards, please check them out HERE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this set of cards, my aim was to use the Wild Love Paper collection by Photoplay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Card 1- Hello Wild One</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card, I started with a panel of watercolour paper 4" W x 5 9/19"H .</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Distress Ink Tumble Glass and created an ombre background sky heavy on the bottom and light on top.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I used the Wild Love Paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY22OMnWmMEE-ygP6dVbeK_wAcIaEeDq08dv857b5ZcwVk5foddD5iBEM3F0liIcp8Qfy4HocXt8pbKUx8fzVyXfvHBbJoVddD9n47NHRqwZ5XMvibngaVekWGQL5mIZ11doq7utiIHo-l/s1600/photoplay_Wild_Love_12x12_scrapbooking_paper_LIVE_WILD__45383.1548914786.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY22OMnWmMEE-ygP6dVbeK_wAcIaEeDq08dv857b5ZcwVk5foddD5iBEM3F0liIcp8Qfy4HocXt8pbKUx8fzVyXfvHBbJoVddD9n47NHRqwZ5XMvibngaVekWGQL5mIZ11doq7utiIHo-l/s320/photoplay_Wild_Love_12x12_scrapbooking_paper_LIVE_WILD__45383.1548914786.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out a bigger panel of the blush side: 2" W x 5 9/19"H</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a smaller panel of the green side: 1 3/4" W x 5 9/19"H</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used baker's twine to wrap around a few times and then tied it into a bow.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I used the journaling card with the 2 teepees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also put a piece of white card stock (5 1/4" W x 1"H) through the Woven embossing folder and inked it with Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a scallop border from my stash to cut another border piece of the navy side of 'Wild at Love' adhered it to the previous piece and tied it them together with baker's twine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the 'Crazy for You' paper, I fussy cut some critters and adhered them onto the card in a single line.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I saw the cute critters in Photoplay's <a href="http://auntyverascrapandcraft.com.au/2019-themes/february-2019-it-was-only-a-kiss/" target="_blank">'Wild Love</a>' paper collection, I knew that I had to make cards that featured them.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really wanted to make mixed media cards using the extras I picked up along with the core products (see my unboxing).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card, I used the Kaisercraft stencil and 4 colors of Distress Oxide on the card stock (which I trimmed to 4" wide) :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Iced Spruce,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Salty Ocean,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Picked Raspberry,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Peacock Feathers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then fussy cut the journaling card with the cute bear and attached that to the front of the card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a banner from the sticker sheet, a few hearts and finally another quick dot stamp using Picked Raspberry in strategic areas and then mounted it to the card base (from my stash) using double sided sticky tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Mixed Media Technique 2 - Texture Paste through stencil </u></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by applying texture paste (from my stash) through the stencil in 4 directions.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then chose this lovely combination of Distress Oxides - Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To achieve this organic background, I applied the ink to an acetate sheet, spritzed with a mister then smooshed it on to the card stock. I also dried in-between application. I then repeated with the second color.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the tiger sticker, and the black brand and the 2 banner labels - and just like that this card came together very quickly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card, I started by stamping the wood grain stamp in Vintage Sepia (Versafine) and Abandoned Coral in the top left and the bottom right corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then fussy cut the tiger from the journaling card and attached him on with double sided sticky tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some sticker hearts, then the banner and finally, applied Victorian Velvet Distress Ink through the stencil along the top right and the bottom left corners.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I sponged white acrylic impasto through the stencil across the whole front of the card stock. I then went in with Abandoned Coral to one half and Iced Spruce to the other blending completely where the 2 colors met.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the journaling card with the 2 foxes and layered them up with card stock that had been embossed through the woven embossing folder and then inked with both Frayed Burlap and Peacock Feathers (I have Lucky clover pictured here but in the video you will see that I actually used Peacock Feathers).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A heart sticker and a banner that says 'Thief of hearts" completes this card perfectly.</div>

For this last card, I knew I wanted to use the journaling cards with the 2 bunnies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to use a left over portion of the embossed card stock which I sponged with Picked Raspberry and added the the left of the card to match the pink bunny. And because the companion bunny was green, I decided to sponge Lucky Clover through the Tribal Strips Stencil on the right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered up the sentiment (from the previous journaling card) with hessian and an arrow from the 'Stay Wild' Stamp and Die Set.</div>

I thought I would update you all on what Ive been doing over the past few months for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have gone back to school (well college to be exact) and I am working on getting certified to go into the aged care sector. I am specifically focusing on dementia and disability. I have about 6 weeks to go before I go on placement in March and then I very much look forward to starting a rewarding career in aged care. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's going to be a very busy next couple of months!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has also been a great summer holidays! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having my boys home from school is always a blessing although I don't know how it happens, but the contents of my kitchen usually end up in the theatre in front of the playstation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm interesting that- especially when there is a blanket "No eating in the theatre" rule!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A paper doll (Tim Holtz) as the focal element plus a few pieces of ephemera from Echo Park's 'Just be You' die cuts which give this piece it's title.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am bringing you a Middle Eastern theme art journal layout using this beautiful die I recently bought from SU called Night in Bethlehem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background was done using a mixture of Dandelion and Moroccan inks from Momento Luxe as well as some Distress Oxides ( Spiced Marmalade , Wild Honey and Abandoned Coral).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added some ink through stencils as well as some texture paste through stencils to achieve a textured background.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I cut the die out of both black and white card stock. For the white card stock, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist - Van Dyke Sepia to give the houses a weathered brown look and then stamped a crackle effect using the Kaisercraft stamp Crackle.</div>

To achieve the Sahara sand effect at the bottom, I used Seth Apter's Baked Texture in Ancient Amber and adhered it using glycerol (to replace my embossing pad which is rather dry and would not work well with this thick embossing powder) and heat set it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone,</div>
<br />
I am playing along with the <a href="http://auntyverascrapandcraft.com.au/2019-themes/">It's a Brand New Day/ Coffee theme</a> over at <a href="http://auntyverascrapandcraft.com.au/">Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft</a>. I found this cute coffee shop dimensional stickers<span style="color: #282828; font-family: "karla" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"> </span></span>from one of Aunty Vera's kits from last year and decided<br />
to build a story around it.<br />

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love this Journal Guide by WRMK for making trackers in my life- whether they be in TNs or diaries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been making a few different ones and in this first episode, I will show you how to make a 4, 7, 8 and 10 quadrant tracker.</div>

Hey everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting off the year with a mini series from the archives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I filmed this tutorial back in March of 2018 but have only just gotten to it now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this tutorial, I show you how to make a handmade journal from card stock (from scratch), collect papers to make inserts and make the inserts into signatures which you can bind in a cross stitch pattern which shows beautifully on the outside of the spine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have broken this tutorial up into 3 parts so that it isn't very overwhelming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part 1 is <a href="https://youtu.be/xzu3M8UmYqk">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part 2 is <a href="https://youtu.be/4eXF0Hvgdx0">HERE</a></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part 3 is <a href="https://youtu.be/bQ2O2C_2MG4">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are inspired to make one of your own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheers,</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my successful milk carton filled with chocolate that ended up being a gift for my son's teacher, I was thinking about a gift idea to give someone who can not or does not like chocolate and I came across an awesome project on Pinterest and I thought, I can make that!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture I originally saw was this one and it inspired me to make a tea light box card to give to my neighbours this Christmas. There was no tutorial and no dimensions so I went ahead and made it up as I went.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ecnF5FoZBhp5rbQMlDBvY6jVKEtnPheOWFlsQh8jrqkFnFATXQVYAaq8eTh4FRUWhMoE3jSLw4u866qoAEh5s0FH160_rHdKC8ytfY8H-rCD_Yf5Xptk6C2fDDVZis1kaJDi9VvSzFc/s1600/IMG_0178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="493" data-original-width="926" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ecnF5FoZBhp5rbQMlDBvY6jVKEtnPheOWFlsQh8jrqkFnFATXQVYAaq8eTh4FRUWhMoE3jSLw4u866qoAEh5s0FH160_rHdKC8ytfY8H-rCD_Yf5Xptk6C2fDDVZis1kaJDi9VvSzFc/s320/IMG_0178.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>To make a card base</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut your card stock down to 8" W x 5.5"H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along the long edge, score @ 3.5" and 4.25"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card will be 5.5" H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, cut 3 panels of pattern paper to 3.5" W x 5 2/8" H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the gorgeous angel pattern from the Oh Holy Night Collection by Echo Park </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will also need 2 thin strips at 3/8"W X 5 2/8" H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the inner and outer spine coverings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Adhere your paper panels to your base card and part of your project is already done!</div>

By the way, I ended up leaving the back of the card plan Kraft card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to be able to stamp my "Handmade with love" sentiment there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Along the long edge, score at 0.5", 3.5" , 4" and 7". You will be left with a 0.25" strip. This is the bit you adhere tape / PVA glue to. (P.S. Please note I make an error in the measurements up on the screen on the video. I say 6.5" but it is 7").</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are using odd sized tea lights, you will need to measure across the width of them (my 2 tea lights were 3.0" W, and just under 0.5" tall so I calculated:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3" + 0.5" + 3" + 0.5" - I then needed to add an extra 0.25" to adhere the box closed.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Follow this guideline when you are measuring your tea lights.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here I marked the score lines in pencil for your convenience but you do not have to do this in your own project.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this final episode in this series, I used the Santoro Gorjuss Mini Stamp No- 55 All these words to create a shaker paper clip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the star she is holding as an inspiration and reached for my stitched star dies plus some Nuvo confetti in stars and circles. Throughly enjoyed putting this one together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shaker elements give me so much joy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Welcome back everyone,</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a wonderful project for you today :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets make a Lumaire!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 8 pieces of pattern paper will form the walls of your lumaire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each wall has a sandwich of vellum in between 2 pieces of pattern paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To be able to see the tea light flickering, you will need to cut a window out of the paper and replace it with the vellum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose this rectangle die - 1.25" W X 2.5" H to cut the middle out of my papers ( frame on far left has already been sandwiched with vellum).</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then put one piece of vellum in between 2 pieces of paper like so.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOe0uPwperKLvqO6K2FaPDIXHI65NUuyaEcuN_2XWzQlqkTuEPCS5YIknXDfYStyM7AI4ynDWHfoFVN3sfzhezlzcrL0R66LEPgesne6Y-4rbHvcdtr-mQKLALR7i6J1XDSPZPfLakGuIf/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-12-23+at+7.43.54+am.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="700" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOe0uPwperKLvqO6K2FaPDIXHI65NUuyaEcuN_2XWzQlqkTuEPCS5YIknXDfYStyM7AI4ynDWHfoFVN3sfzhezlzcrL0R66LEPgesne6Y-4rbHvcdtr-mQKLALR7i6J1XDSPZPfLakGuIf/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-12-23+at+7.43.54+am.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, it's time to join the walls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this, I added double sided take to each side of the edges of each wall. I then overlapped the <a href="http://auntyverascrapandcraft.com.au/aunty-vera-washi-tape-stars-gold/">Gold Star Washi </a> from the kit.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, you will need to wrap the last panel and join it to form a rectangle box.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the base, I adhered the pattern paper to the double cereal boxes I had stuck together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I inked the edges with Frayed Burlap.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used hot glue along the base of the box structure to adhere it to the base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, it's time to adhere the lid. I once again applied double sided glue to both sides where the lid was going to be placed and overlapped it with washi.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have reached the month of December and here is the last art journal layout in this Gorjuss mini art journal series.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mixed emotions :) So thankful to have done it and so proud of this little book of mini layouts. Also super grateful to you all for tuning in every month and for your wonderful words of support and encouragement. It has been a blast.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The stamp I chose this month is No.55 - All these words and I chose a sentiment that I want to leave you with and one which I have definitely adopted over the past few years- Do all things with love.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With love, we can find patience, strength and a determination to do what needs to be done for ourselves and for those around us.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I want to extend to you the warmest of wishes this holiday season. I wish you health, safety and love in every part of your life. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the season, and I hope to see you in 2019.</div>

I knew I was going to make an advent calendar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now there is no good way to blog how I made this project, so I'm going to have to refer you to the process video (link below).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1 - Make the pockets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pockets were made out of Kraft card stock that measured 5" W x 2.75" H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along the short edge, score at 2.25" .</div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<br />
Ive had this pack of milk cartons in my stash for so long now and I had this great idea when I saw this 12" x 12" sheet from the Carta Bella Collection Santa's Workshop.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the back of Santa's manor, Santa has yet another venture he is embarking on and that is, he is going to release a seasonal milk carton just before Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And he's going to call it "Got Milk? *wink*"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is to be his first prototype.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started off by cutting down my carton to half the size so I can preserve the amount of paper I was going to have to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now it was time to decorate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up using these 2 papers as they co-ordinated beautifully together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wjXhVUknABZwU__lLNT-TFgNNKUP5VgjEQxvhiHSXXXLy9Dr7-pcaz6Ef8IUCmoa4tmOwnDF1NeflylJYSj39CbIlhegzonIYSqLHdvtQ44pqrzYbErfOmg_1D6pHCw7mnQ9-EOKm2Ww/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-12-07+at+9.21.14+pm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="390" data-original-width="503" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wjXhVUknABZwU__lLNT-TFgNNKUP5VgjEQxvhiHSXXXLy9Dr7-pcaz6Ef8IUCmoa4tmOwnDF1NeflylJYSj39CbIlhegzonIYSqLHdvtQ44pqrzYbErfOmg_1D6pHCw7mnQ9-EOKm2Ww/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-12-07+at+9.21.14+pm.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut down my papers to measure 3 1/2"W x 7 3/16th H on 2 sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was cut down further to 5" H and 2 3/16th H to prevent any problems along the score/fold line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other 2 sides (the shorter ones) had papers that measured 3 1/2 " W x 5" H. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made sure that the sides were flush together before I used hot glue to seal all the edges.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time for embellishing!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">I used the multi journaling card of Santa dancing with Mrs Claus from the 12" x 12" paper.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To this I added <a href="http://auntyverascrapandcraft.com.au/aunty-vera-washi-tape-through-the-snow/">Through the Snow</a> Washi to the top right and bottom left.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using my mini alpha stickers, I spelt out Got Milk.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the branding side of the carton, I chose an embellishment from the ephemera pack that I photocopied so I could have one on either side of the carton.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I masked the part that said "Days to Christmas" and instead used my alpha stickers to spell "North Pole Milk Co." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did the same with the other side and spelled out "Also suitable for reindeer".</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the 4th side, I used a combination of stickers from the sticker sheet and ephemera from the Ephemera Pack to create a scene where the reindeer recalls a prank he played on another reindeer and is now worried if he is not on Santa's good list.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for the #take5art December Challenge with Brie's Prompts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brie is Documented Journey over on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/Documented.Journey/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Brielee13">Youtube</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month the prompts she gave the group are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1- Botanicals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2- Water colors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3- Green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolutely love how it turned out.</div>
