It’s a new month, and I’m so excited to share a burst of creativity with you! From newly finished layouts to amazing August specials, three fresh kits, a big farewell to a favorite promotion, and a sneak peek at what’s coming in September — there’s something for every kind of crafter in this update.
📖 Finished Layouts from the Virtual Album Retreat!
A week ago Stampin’ Up! did their live Virtual Album Retreat, and I’m thrilled to share my next three of completed layouts! Each one was fun to make, and I hope they inspire you to dive into your own memory keeping projects.
As of this post the pre-cut Virtual Album kit is still available on my SU shopping site. You will get access to the Facebook page with all of the videos on how to make all 12 layouts.
✂️ Let me know which one is your favorite — I always love hearing your thoughts!
🎥 Also look for my upcoming YouTube walk through next week once I finish all 12 layouts.
