Ever hit a point in a project where you just want to quit? 😅 That was me with the Peaceful Days scrapbook kit. Those skinny strips nearly did me in… until I discovered the simple fix that saved the layout—and my sanity!
In this Monday Night Stamping replay, watch as I:
Struggle (and finally conquer) the tricky strip-and-circle placement
Share the exact measurements so you don’t have to guess
Walk through photo sizes, labeling tips, and embellishing ideas
Show the finished two-page spread featuring my great-niece Greta
If you’ve got baby, wedding, or peaceful outdoor photos, this kit is perfect—and my “never quit” moment might just help you breeze through it!
📌 Next steps: I’ll post Projects 2 & 3 on my blog and may film them as pre-recorded videos—stay tuned!
🗓️ Go Live with me: Mondays at 7:30 PM CT (scrapbooking) & Thursdays at 10 AM CT (Fun Fold Cards).
🎨 October Card Kit: Using the Peaceful Garden paper—if you like this look, you’ll love the next kit!
