Product Spotlight - Romantic Horses Memory Album
This week's blog is a product spotlight featuring the Romantic Horses Memory Album. I actually made this quite a few years ago and is one of my favourite albums I have ever made, mainly because the designer papers are just so beautiful. I used the Stamperia Romantic Horses collection with black card for the base. It has a hardback cover.
It is not a small album with measurements being 9 1/2" long x 9" high x 3" deep but this also means it has a lot of space for photographs

Sneak Peeks

Christmas in July
So, for crafters, July is a big time for Christmas crafting. It is when craft manufacturers and designers release their first Christmas collections of the year. Of course, this means new products for me too! I bought the new Arden Creative Studio release designed by Katie Pertiet Designs called Christmas Cheer. As soon as I received it I started making and it is so beautiful.

New Items Added To The Shop
So this week I have added some new items to my shop, those being some notebooks, notepads, birthday cards and a keyring in a new colour.
The Notebooks
First up are the notebooks, handmade from start to finish. I created the covers from my PaperArtsy stamps designed by Alison Bomber, beautiful rose and hydrangea images which I stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours. There will be a full YouTube demo video for these up in the near future.

How I Made The Card

I started with the background by adding a piece of decoupage paper with matt medium glue to a piece of blank white card. I then used Lindy's Gang Magicals Garden Chronicles powders to add a lit
