Add On Interactive Pages for the 6×6 Mini Scrapbook in an Hour
With the success of the 6×6 Mini Scrapbook in an Hour I want to show you how you can create this album with some interactive pages which means you can add even more photos to your mini scrapbook album.
This is a step by step tutorial in real time, so you can gather up your supplies and craft along with me.
I have broken this tutorial down into several videos so it makes it easier for you to stop and pick it up at again at anytime, meaning you don’t need to fast forward the video and find where you left off.
Each page construction and dectoration has its own video, there are 4 interactive pages along with inside front and back cover pocket pages.
I have also broken the assembley of the Album in 2 parts, part 1 shows how to attach the pages to the spine as it is slightly different to the method used in the 6×6 Mini Album in and Hour. In part 2 we attch the pages to the cover and finish decoration the Album.
This tutorial is great for crafters of any ablities and as the video tutorials are step by step which makes it easy to follow, I would recommend this to take your mini scrapbooks to another level. Enjoy!

I would love to know your thoughts so I can improve my way of showcasing my tutorials, please leave me your comments. Happy Craftying Dawn x
Card & Envelope Scrapbook Projects
I picked up a pack of note cards and envelopes whist out shopping and it was such a bargain at 99p and thought what could I make with these!!!
Well I was so pleased as out of one pack of 10 note cards and envelopes along with a little extra card stock and ribbon I managed to make 4 very different projects.
The cards I have used measure 3 & 7/8″ x 5″ and the envelopes are 4″ x 5 1/2″. If you are using note cards and envelopes of a difference size then you will need to adjust your measurements.
Project 1 – A Magic Wallet
Project 2 – Jacobs Ladder Scrapbook

Tips on Scoring with a Scoreboard
Many people ask why my paper does not crack when I score it and I am going to share my tips with you.
Paper has a memory to be flat and that is how it is made, now as papercrafters we want to change the memory so bend in different ways.
Often paper cracking is down to too much pressure, the wrong tool or digging the tool into the paper instead of letting it glide over the top when scoring.
In the video I show you how to score different types of papers as well as cardstock.
I do hope this quick tip will help many of you over come the problem of cracking paper.
Quick Scrapbook Canvas
I will show you how to create a quick and easy scrapbook canvas using a 12×12 canvas and scraps from your crafty stash.
This is a great project as it uses very few materials but looks great once it is complete.
You too can add you own twist to this project depending of the photograph you chose for the subject.
So go on have fun and create an Off the Page scrapbook project.

Card in a Box
I really enjoyed making this card last night and thought I would share it with you.
It is such a great card as you only need one sheet of A4 cardstock and for the rest you can use bits and bobs from your crafty stash.
I found the idea on Pinterest and it was a video demo by a lady called Monica who is a Stampin Up Demonstrator.
You can make this card to fit so many occassions and there are lots of ideas on the web and pinterest.
The other great thing is that it lays flat for postage but a beautiful 3D card once the envelope has been opened.
So go on and give it a go a quick card that looks like it has taken ages to make.
