Over the past few years there has been a gradual but steady trend of art media moving into the scrapbooking world. We still love our traditional scrapbook supplies such as patterned papers, ready-made alphabets and embellishment, however there is a growing movement towards using these products in different ways, creating our own customised looks. Watercolours are nothing new. They have been around for many centuries and are used by artists worldwide in traditional works of art. They are readily available in both the budget price range or in a more expensive, professional quality, and can be purchased in singles or in a wide variety of colour sets. The great thing about watercolours is that no matter your artistic ability or experience this medium can be used easily for stunning results…

Aside from fruit and vegetables, all you need is an oven, a baking tray, baking paper, a baking rack and a mortar and pestle (or coffee grinder); items you most likely already have in your kitchen. Common sense tells us that the thinner the produce we are dehydrating, the quicker it will dehydrate. Accordingly, for the most part, you will need to cut your fruit and vegetables into very fine slices. I used a mandolin (and my husband!) when doing mine. To date I have experimented with sweet potato, English spinach (the leaves), carrots, lemons (the zest), red onions, tomatoes, raspberries (fresh), red capsicum, blueberries (defrosted), green peas (defrosted), pumpkin and beetroot (fresh not tinned). I’ve also used freshly ground coffee beans and turmeric, which was in my spice drawer.…

In this issue we will be looking at how to make the first few pages of the book. First you need to make your five foundation pages out of Bazzill cardstock. You need to cut five strips of Whirlpool, at 4in high by 12in wide, and fold them in half. It is important that each one is 4in high, so only cut two pieces from each sheet. Your leftover strips will be used inside the book. Repeat this process…

Taking my own advice, I decided to experiment with a trend that I have been admiring for some time – the die-cut background! There are many ways to achieve this look on your page, from buying a pre-cut 12in x 12in page which many manufacturers offer, to creating your own. The great thing about making it yourself though is that you get the perfect background to match your photo or theme, not to mention it is fun and satisfying too. Creating your own die-cut background can be achieved in a few different ways, depending upon the tools that you have at your disposal. 2015 BY KATIE HOWARD, QLD Materials: Paper – My Mind’s Eye, Making Memories metallic; Cardstock – Bazzill; Embellishments – My Mind’s Eye stickers and vellum, Silhouette Cameo…
