It's National Scrapbook Day! | Cards with a Mix Media Twist! featuring Scrapbook.com!

​Hello Everyone!

May is a very special month!  It is International National Scrapbook Day!  So let’s celebrate together!  I created a video for Scrapbook.com featuring many products to create two cards with a mix media twist for The Crafter’s Choice Challenge!  

​​I am a huge fan of art journaling, but sometimes I can be intimidated by the large black page in front of me!  I am inspired by so many creatives out there and I get excited to start, but one that book opens, I sometimes go blank!  

​
​​Or maybe you have created art journals and want to get into card making but you just cannot let go of those beautiful designs going through your creative mind!  Does this sound familiar?...

​Well stick around and see just how I incorporate some mix media techniques we use in our art journals and create a beautiful card…

If you want to see how both cards were created, just click on the video below!
