Bring on the Cake Journalers *FREEBIE*
Nicole

I’ve been having so much fun with this pocket/project life style scrapbooking, have you given it a try? I can’t get enough of these little journal and filler cards. I was working on a birthday page recently, and needed a few extra. I made these up mostly using Kate’s Bring on the Cake doodles. I showed them to her and she said we could share them here, with you all! There are a few 4×6, 3×4, and even a 4×4 for you instagram scrappers. Enjoy!

Hybrid Card Advanced Techniques
Jewelle

Hey everyone, Jewelle here again!  Last month I promised to come back and show a few ways to take a card from basic to advanced. Please don’t get scared by the term “advanced”.  These techniques are definitely not hard, but they do take a little more time.  I can testify though that putting in that little bit of extra time is so worth it when you hand someone a card and their face lights up over it.

Last month we went over how to make this card:
