It’s great template for when you really want the photos to shine and to tell …
This month’s free template is another cracker from scrapbooker-extraordinaire, the very talented Kim!

This is another useful template to help you scrap stories where you want to showcase lots of photos! …

Today I want to talk about one my favourite subjects: art materials! Specifically my favourite art supplies to use in my Bullet Journal spreads (because honestly I could be here all week talking about all my favourite art goodies…) My decorated bullet journal is part scrapbook, part planner, part memory keeping project and my favourite …
Kim is back with our final free template of 2025! We’ve called this one “Winter Trees” but of course you use the template to scrap any season. I really like the simple tree shapes Kim used along with the stars and paint splatter, they suggest a snowy, night-time forest scene to me – hence the …

After I made my Halloween Bookmarks, I knew I had to make some Christmas versions too! I always love drawing Christmas characters and the long, thin format of the bookmarks was an interesting shape for me to work with. I’m really happy with how they turned out (the gingerbread man is my favourite) and I …
Here are the first of my new releases for Black Friday this year, two packs of kids all dressed up in Christmas costumes!
