LIVE - Blind 3 Art Journal Page

Hi everyone!

Each month I stream creating a page using the blind 3 challenge where I 'blindly' select three mediums and can only use those three mediums plus black and white. I can use stencils, stamps and textures also.

Today the three colours were bronze, copper and cobalt blue hue! 

I had no idea what I was going to do until I started going through my stamps and thinking what I could add to the page. I'm happy with the end result. Let me know what you think.

You can watch the full process video over on my YouTube channel by clicking here.

Card Series - Birthday 34

Hi everyone!

So I had to make a birthday card for my granddaughter who is turning 13 later this month. Not only that but I wanted to add envelopes inside the card to hold one $10 note, 13 in all, hence the neverending card.

I made the card big enough (9"x9") so that it could hold all the envelopes and other bits and pieces I wanted to add.

Punch Art Storage Unit

Hi everyone!

I'm back on the organising trail today! I like adding punch art to my cards so I have them all in a box which is not very organised at all! So I decided to make a storage unit and folder for them.

I recorded the process and you can watch the full process video on my YouTube channel by clicking here.

You can get the Cutting Guide for this storage unit by clicking here.

I have a list of products used and a few pictures which may be helpful. Please let me know if there are any mistakes or there is anything that you don't understand by commenting here or emailing me at ozegran@gmail.com.
