Hello everyone, did you know that you can stamp with your metal dies and your stencils? The image will not be perfect but you get even more uses out of your products.

Hello everyone, today we are focussing on the beautiful February moodboard. In addition, the design team was challenged to use at least five different patterned papers.

Hello everyone, today I am showing you a layout that only uses the PL kit. The design team prompt was to use elements in an unexpected way. I cheated a little bit because I also utilised the stencil from the mixed media add-on to show you a different way to use it.

Hello everyone, today I have a moodboard based layout for you. I fell in love with the picture of the baubles in the upper left corner and tried to re-create that look on the layout.

Hello everyone, today I have a layout for you focussing on the PL Kit only. Since the PL cards are small I decided to arrange them along the edges of the layout.

Hello everyone, today we have a recipe challenge for you: blue, four photos and a school theme. I knew right away which photos I wanted to use but they were too big to add to one page.
