Canvas Album Tutorial

Hey everyone! Donna is on her way to England and then France so I am taking over the blog! My name is Melissa and if you haven't met me before and you're saying who the heck is Melissa?!? I work in the Studio during the week. I'm in charge of all the fun stuff like ordering products for the store and vacuuming the classroom. I told Donna I would be on my best behavior (but I didn't say for how long!). I have some really fun things planned for the blog next week (there might even be some sales, but shhhh! don't tell). Today I'm going to show you another project from Maria. When I saw the pictures I was blown away, holy cow, the album is awesome!

What a gorgeous album! I love every single page. The detail is just amazing. I absolutely love Maria's work and the awesome tutorials she provides with each project she creates.

Thank you Melissa for bringing us this beautiful work of art album by maria, it is truly beautiful. Looking foward to your further posts this week! Loving Donna's poppy stamp and those pan pastels are 'to die for'....

I have to get up off the floor- this knocked me over! The album is stunning with the flowers and bold colors. This makes a album more doable to me because Maria stayed with the same color palette and used many of the same supplies on each page but kept each unique. And all of that is before I read the title- this is so powerful!

Maria's book is amazing thank you for sharing. I know many of us our heads are spining with our own take on not forgetting the child within. I LOVED it.

Shriek.... okay this bought tears to my eyes. It is absolutely gobsmackingly gorgeous and that poppy stamp is INCREDIBLE. I honestly thought they were hand-painted at first.. so love Donna's poppies and have to get that stamp. Will have to wait a couple of months though. This album is just STUNNING.. okay stop rambling Philippa! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Smiles from New Zealand
