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! …
Christa has worked her design magic again and created another fun free template for us to scrap with this month! I’m a big fan of a page design that has a graphic feel to it and these layered paper shapes are calling to me – I especially like that circle peeking out from behind the …

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 …
I mentioned in my latest Bullet Journal post that I was undecided how to approach my memory planning for 2026 and that I fancied a bit of a change from my usual bujo monthly pages that I have been creating on and off for a while now. I still haven’t decided what that will look …

I was reminiscing about my childhood Christmases recently and remembering all the decorations I used to make as a child – egg boxes turned into glitter encrusted reindeer, card from cereal boxes painted like sparkly baubles and my pièce de résistance: a wooden clothes peg angel with a pipe cleaner halo and paper doily dress! …
My second set of new clipart packs this month is this colourful collection of kids all ready to celebrate that most magical time of the year – Christmas!

After I made my Halloween Bookmarks, I knew I had to make some Christmas versions too!
