Merry Christmas! May this season bring you so much joy! I am sharing two videos here today that I made: Christmas Cards using my newest little collection called Oh Deer. You can follow the link below to get it on iheartstudio.ca. Just a reminder from my heart to yours in this season: Eph 3: 20 “God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” — Message Translation. Video 1: Christmas Cards   Video 2: More Christmas Cards &n ..read more

Hello from a snowy Canada this morning. There is always something magical about the first snowfall of the season! This layout is the second in a series of 5 videos I will be sharing! You can see the first video here. For this page, I was inspired by a beautiful song (I link it below). I love making pages that are a little heart therapy (using art techniques) and heart expressive (like writing a prayer or something that I know will mean a lot to me whenever I read it in the future). The combination of these two elements is absolutely a win-win in my opinion. Thank you for watching my videos. It ..read more

Hello, my friends! Long time hey? One thing that I am happy about is that the internet is patient. Lol. Another thing is that I am back at scrapbooking and didn’t lose my mojo. In my years of scrapbooking, I often found that momentum was a great benefit to mojo: the more you work the more ideas came to you. I thought I would struggle more with the creative process but it felt very familiar and all went well. I talk a little about this in the video. In fact, see this video as a “hello” from a long break and forgive me if I ramble a bit. I hope you enjoy the process and come back over the next f ..read more

Hello! Wilna here! I was itching to be creative and I made these butterfly cards yesterday. I am so happy to have these cards in my drawer for special notes to my dear friends. Sometimes thank you is not enough but these little cards add something to it! A few bullet points about the cards: The words/phrases comes in a FREE printable (with offset files to print and cut)  The “envelopes” are clear and were perfect for this project. I got them from Michaels. I used my mini class 9 Butterfly Illustrations I used the BLOOM collection by Maggie Holmes 6×6 paper pad (Link below) The die ..read more

This video is truly Mid March Love. Watch it till the end to see my love for you! HELLO! I am back from South Africa and after being back more than a week I had some serious jetlag and I think everything hit me all at once emotionally. From past experience, I know that there is not much I can do but to wait and ride it out. I did a little yoga but even going to yoga was hard for me. Okay, that’s all I will say about my little week-long pity party. I woke up this morning and knew that I just need to work and get into the groove again. Work is so good for the soul. I am so thankful today, more ..read more
