I have so much to do today. It's been a crazy past couple of weeks. My Dad has been visiting from the US and I've also had my brother and my sister and her family staying. We've been having days out, late nights, early mornings and lots of fun. Everyone is now home and the [...]
I decided to use my August Kit - 'Wings 'n' Things' - to make a pocket page for my Project Life album. My daughter, Hollie, did really well with her GCSE results so I've dedicated a whole page to this day last week. Everything here apart from some white card comes from this months kit. I [...]
Today we are making a sweet piece of art that's in a frame. Remember the little glassine envelope from your August kit?? It's time to grab that along with a piece of cardboard, a frame, a little white paint, pva glue, scissors and a black pen. My frame takes a 6x4 photo and is just [...]
I hope you love your DIY kit in your Lollipop Boxes this month. Isn't it cute?! The mini kits have been made for us this month by the second of our small business collaborations 'Heart Felty'. Heart Felty is the wonderful creation by Michelle. I was so thrilled when I found Michelle and just LOVE [...]

Today I am sharing some scrapbooking hidden journaling and layering tips. I'm using the new August 'Wings 'n' Things' Kit to make this page. I really enjoy a little hidden journaling.

I hope you had a great weekend. It was so good to see the sun again. I got my planner ready last night for the week ahead. For me that means my diary page, my Monday to-do list and also my weekly menu. I do love to sit with my planner on a Sunday evening [...]
I see art journaling as a form of escapism. There are no rules, rights or wrongs. It's only for my eyes, I don't have to show or share it with anyone. It's just for me. It's a way of playing and experimenting. It's about feeling free and having fun. Take this day. I started work early [...]
Is it really sad that I got so excited when I was in Anthropologie last when I saw this mug as I knew it would match my planner? But it looks so pretty together!! I had to buy it. It's become my afternoon tea at my desk mug. It matches the August kit so well. [...]
