I am a slow scrapbooker. When I first started scrapbooking and was simply adding photos to a page with a few pieces of paper and a smattering of themed stickers, I could make several pages in less than an hour. Then I went to a crop with a much more experienced scrapbooking friend and I […]

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Nerd Academy on Scrapbook Nerd. This tutorial is all about embellishment clusters. I love embellishing a page. It’s my favourite part of the whole layout process. I also love that the manufacturers give us plenty of embellishment options. Sometimes, however, you can look at all the bits and pieces and think “what am I supposed to […]
Happy Halloween everyone! I couldn’t resist making a little project for today that I can display every October with the Crazy Dogs stamp set. I’ve told you before that I love this set, right? Well the images in the Crazy Things stamp set make it very easy to create seasonal projects all year long. I […]
Hello and welcome to another card share. Do you love die cut packs?… I sure do. Sometimes I like to buy the ephemera packs just for cardmaking and that is exactly what I did with the Pebbles Inc. Woodland Forrest pack. The animals included in the ephemera pack are so cute, I couldn’t resist. […]
Fall is definately here! Nevada (my dog and walking partner) and I have been out exploring the beautiful colours of the changing season. She loves the cooler weather and when possible I let her off leash to run and roll in the leaves. My projects this past week were created using the Simple Stories – Gather […]

Hi crafty peeps, Today I’m sharing an art journal page. This page started with a stamp set and not much of a plan, just the idea to stamp the ‘washi strips’ at the bottom of the page. Because I cover the pages before I started with gesso, the Distress Crayons were easy to blend with […]

Hello everyone! It is been a while since my last post, that even the season has changed. Well today, i am back with a tutorial -no video this week- on how to stretch a cut file. I don’t know about you, but i always try to see how can i use every single piece of […]
I love getting messy in my art journal, paint all over my hand and apron the whole nine yards. This is one of my favourite things to do, just pull out some supplies and give it a go. Today’s mixed media inspiration is an art journal page that I created with some Carabelle Studio stamps […]
Hello everyone, I’m excited to start sharing some Crazy Dog cards with you. I got my hands on The Crazy Dogs stamp set from Tim Holtz & Stampers Anonymous a little over a week ago and I started colouring some of the images right away. This set is an instant favourite of mine and the images are […]
This week, I used the Crate Paper “Cool Kid” collection to document life with my two boys. When I first saw the collection, I worried that it would be more appropriate for younger boys, but when I started to work with it, I realized that it works well for boys of all ages, as well […]
In the past two weeks with the kids returning to school, I have had to face two of my least favourite things: making school lunches and piles and piles of papers coming home and landing on my kitchen counter. While I unfortunately have not found a way to tackle the lunches with paper and glue […]
Welcome back to another Sunday card share. Today’s post is the last in this little series about using 12×12 cut-apart papers with 3×4, 4×4 or 4×6 cards for cardmaking. I was able to create 9 cards in total and one scrapbook layout with the supplies listed at the bottom of this post. I added a […]

Hello Nerds! I am here to hare with you a layout of mine, using something that I created for my background. Super easy way to make stamps! One would think, while looking at all my stamps (and there are quite a bit!) that I would have a choice of patterns, like flowers. Honestly, I […]
Happy Sunday! It’s Joy here with our card share this week. I believe that scrapbookers have all the supplies needed to create beautiful homemade cards to share with family & friends. Spread a little happiness and make a few cards this week to send out. These cards focus on using up some leftover supplies […]
This past week I worked with the My Mind’s Eye – Happy Camper Collection, and funny enough I only made one layout that involved camping. The colours and patterns while completely suitable for camping were leading me down a slightly different path. Project #1 A Christmas Break day trip to Crawford Lake Provincial Park Project #2 […]
This week I am working with the My Mind’s Eye – Happy Camper Collection Papers and Embellishments and continuing with my Gelato obsession . For this layout I decided to try a more subtle background, more of a water-colour look so I could later add word stamps. Supplies needed : Gelatos, stamps, water mister, paper towels, cardstock, […]
Hi there, Joy here with some art journal inspiration for this weeks Mixed Media on Monday. This week I was inspired by Brigit Koopsen, a talented artist who designs stamps for Carabelle Studios and has an awesome blog with so much mixed media inspiration. I pulled out my old brayer and some Dina Wakley paints […]
Over this past week I’ve had several products sitting out on my desk that I wanted to use up. I wanted to see how many projects I could make out of 3 sheets of patten paper, some cardstock and two kinds of embellishments from the MME On Trend 2 collection. (A full list of supplies […]
Hello All! This week I shared different types of stories/photos with different collections. I started off telling a story from my summer of when my brother had heart surgery and what a worry it was for all of us when his recovery did not go as planned. After a few weeks had passed and he […]
Hello Nerds! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I take a step back from my scrapbooking and ask myself, “Is there a supply I love and just haven’t been using much of lately?” When I asked that question this week, there were a couple of things that came immediately to mind: vellum, and embossing […]
