This quick tip video tutorial shows you how to use magnets on your paper crafting projects.
Rather than always using 2 magnets, why not replace one with a stainless steel washer to save on the cost.
I get my magnets here in the UK from my local supplier First4Magnets
I use size 12mm x 1mm
A scrapbook folio is a handmade photo album designed to display your photos and memorabilia in a beautiful, interactive way.
Unlike a traditional scrapbook page, folios include flaps, pockets, fold-outs and interactive elements that allow you to store many photos while still creating a stunning decorative project.
They are perfect for preserving:
• holidays
• family memories
• celebrations
• special occasions
• meaningful everyday moments
Scrapbook Folio #2 introduces new interactive designs and page sketches different from those used in Folio #1.
The project includes a variety of clever layouts that allow you to display well over 65 photos within one folio.
You will also receive a bonus workshop project showing how to create interactive scrapbook layouts that can be used inside post-bound or D-ring scrapbook albums.
This means the techniques you learn can be used again and again in future albums.
Whether you are completely new to folio making or an experienced papercrafter looking for new inspiration, this workshop guides you through the entire process.
The videos are recorded in real time, allowing you to craft along step by step as the folio comes together.
There is no rushing and no pressure — simply enjoyable creative crafting.

To create the Arden Album, I used a 6” × 8” paper pad, a coordinating ephemera pack, 10 sheets of 12” × 12” cardstock, chipboard for the covers, and six magnets. I also added a little extra cardstock for optional matting — perfect if you like layering and added depth.
One of the biggest bonuses of this project is how quick it is to make. Inside the workshop, you’ll receive a full cutting guide with all the measurements worked out for you — from the cardstock construction to the patterned papers. No guesswork, no stress, just enjoyable crafting.
The finished album is a lovely size, so there’s no need to print photos tiny or limit yourself to one format. It comfortably accommodates photos of different sizes, making it ideal for memory-keeping, gifting, or special occasions.
Don’t have a 6” × 8” paper pad? No problem at all as you can use your 8” × 8” or 12” × 12” papers to decorate this beautiful project.
Each time you make this album with different cardstock, papers, and ephemera, it takes on a completely new personality. Every ephemera pack brings its own charm, which means no two Arden Albums will ever be the same.
This album is perfect for any occasion and quick enough to make when time is limited — yet satisfying enough to feel truly special. I know you’ll love returning to this workshop for many years to come.
The online workshop includes 10 step-by-step real-time videos, and I’ll be crafting along with you at every stage, guiding you through the entire process.
Beginners will enjoy this workshop as a gentle introduction to hard-covered interactive albums, while more experienced crafters will love enhancing the design with extra details and creative flourishes.

✨ The Office Girl Organiser – Your All-in-One Tracker, Planner & Memory Keeper ✨
Whether you’re making one for yourself or creating a special keepsake for someone else, the Office Girl Organiser is full of charm, personality, and purpose.
It’s a thoughtful, heartfelt project that’s just as lovely to give as it is to make.
Once I started creating the inserts for my Craft Project Retreat, I realised just how versatile this organiser really is. Here are just a few ways you can make it your own:
? Everyday planner
? Christmas organiser
✈️ Holiday or travel journal
? Gardening planner
? Health & fitness tracker
? Birthday organiser
? Theatre trip or event log
? Craft or hobby tracker
✏️ Reading novel tracker
? Memory book of your year
?️ Document & memorabilia keeper
Simply by changing the colour of your cardstock and/or patterned papers transforms your Office Girl Organiser for any theme or occasion.
Every version becomes uniquely yours — reflecting your style, your story, and your purpose.
Leave out the inserts and it becomes a beautiful photo album, perfect for preserving your special memories or events.
It also makes a thoughtful keepsake gift — or even a family birthday card and gift card holder to treasure year after year.
This is more than a project. It’s a conversation piece. A memory keeper. A creative adventure waiting for you.
