Stunned by This

This is a totally non craft related post and relates to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If this upsets you please leave now.

I am appalled by the whole situation in Ukraine at the minute. Ukraine are no threat to anyone, they just want yo be a free and independent country. What is wrong with that and have we not all been in that situation at sometime in history.

There are many horror stories surfacing at the minute, and today I was appalled to see Russian children arrested and detained for laying flowers at the Ukrainian Embassy.
This is the link to the Sky News article Russian Children Detained

I'm goingcto leave it here so ypu can take a look of you want to.

In the meantime I just want to say I stand with Ukrain and will give them all the support I can. We must stand together and support freedom for everyone.

Christmas Mini Album Page 1

Today I have done the first page of my mini album. It's a simple gatefold page. I cut the page to 7.5x7.5 ins. The two side flaps are cut at 5.5x5.5 ins and scored at 1.5 ins on the short side. I stuck the flaps at each side of the page to form the gatefold. I chose complimentary papers in traditional Christmas colours from rhe Classic Christmas Collection by Hunkydory. I cut all of the papers .25 of an inch smaller than the pages and flaps to give a border all of the way round. If you are using magnet closures remember to place them before you add your decorative papers. If you would like to see a video showing how I made this album page here is the link  page 1 I have also done a short video showing how I add my album pages which you can find here  adding pages to album Until next time Happy Crafting

Christmas Mini Album

As part of my Christmas in July Event I have today started work on a new Mini Album The papers I am using for the Album are The Classic Christmas Collection from Hunkydory. I have the Hunkydory at Home usb so I can print as many sheets as I need which is a good thing. I started with the cover today. The album is 8x8ins so I cut a piece of gold mirri card 7.75x7.75ins to go on the front. I then cut a piece of paper from the Collection 7.5x7.5ins and stuck it on top of the mirri card. I chose a topper to match the paper to add to the front. It's worth adding here that I cut the topper out on my scan and cut. All of the Hunkydory at Home toppers have lines that in the original die cut toppers were where you popped out the different layers. If you scan your sheet and use the direct cut function your machine will recognise these lines as cut lines and cut the toppers out perfectly. I added handmade paper poinsettias and Holly leaves that I had in my crafty stash. Now it just has to dry ...
