Let’s get started!
Here at Artful Adventures, I like to offer you ideas to kick it up a notch – without a lot of hassle! Here is a special do-it-yourself kind of gift that lends itself well to any number of occasions. By taking just one 12×12 inch sheet of double-sided paper, or card stock, you can easily create a special little mini-album. Just a few basic touches will make it special, but you can add whatever you’d like. In other words, how simple or fancy you make it is all up to you! You can add pictures, quotes, stickers, fibers, beads, buttons….. there are endless possibilites.
Here is a look at a little mini album made from one sheet of paper.
Here is the video to show you how to do it.
Just enter your info below to receive your copy of the written directions for the 12×12″ sheet, or for a digital layered PSD file.
Please visit each site on the hop to see the special deal they are offering. There is such a diversity of creative things any mother would love to receive in honor of Mother’s Day. Note: If you joined us somewhere along the way, please start HERE so you don’t miss a thing!

LOAD513, otherwise known as Layout A Day, May 2013, is a challenge to create a scrapbook layout everyday for the month of May. Any scrapbooking method will do! Paper, digital, hybrid, 12×12, 8.5×11, 8×8….. made from scratch or by template…. it’s not as hard as it sounds. I will happily tell you that I have numerous pages with so many stories that would have gone untold, which are a result of prompts or ideas we have received from previous LOAD events.
Many printable downloads have a quote or a thought that would be appropriate to use on a scrapbook page. By using one for a page, you are able to use a great deal of space on your page without having to think about it too much. Just think, someone else has done all the design work on the printable! They have selected the colors, the fonts, the layout, the phrase … ALL of it! If you like the way the printable looks, you are ready to go!
You will notice that the page is rather simple. It includes:
I always love it when I can show you something and get a project done at the same time! Today, I’ve got yet another way to use a heart punch or die cut. We are almost to March this year, and St. Patrick’s Day brings Irish inspired design to many things during the month of March.
