This album/journal turned out great. It was a different design for a dos a dos than I've seen before.

Wow! I am now adding this to my list, a dos e dos album.❤ Absolutely great guest tutorial class. I just want to get back to my time being n my own to craft anytime I want. I hate to keep ordering and printing out these gorgeous papers and watching the videos because I am so tied up with working at home. Thank you for all you do!!!❤❤❤

Thank you so much. I have pretty bad arthritis and these compression gloves re help and allow me to work

[@jodymcknight187]

@@CreatewithSqudgeCraft oh I have some like them also. But mine are a boring black ⚫️

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

@@jodymcknight187 I wore black or grey ones for ages and was so pleased when I found someone who made colourful ones 💜

I really like the kits I've bought so far. Love to see something in jewel tones, darker colors like purple, turquoise, magenta, phalo greens... Just a thought.

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

The kite are packed full of such pretty details 💜

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

I dp love purple, green and turquoise together

Isn't the kit stunning 💜

[@jandeferbrache3387]

Lovely ❤

[@aliciajaurena6015]

Es hermoso todo lo que hacen y enseñan Buenísimo también que los de habla hispana podamos conectarnos y entenderlo así como agregar que tengan las medidas en centímetros 💖💖 Todos los tutoriales son un verdadero placer

[@jandeferbrache3387]

What was the name of the other opinion for page setup please. Loving this thank you

[@jenndub525]

I love this! Beginner here and ready to make for my daughter ❤ Is all of the white paper shown cardstock?

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

That's exciting. Yes everything is medium - heavy weight card, except for the pieces of lightweight that the cover is wrapped in. Hope that helps 💜

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

This is so awesome, I love the whole idea. I presume your gloves are compression gloves, did you creat them in colors or did you find them that way? They are as stunning as the project. Thank you for sharing. I will be looking for your Chanel. Thank you once again. Perfect tutorial.

[@CreatewithSqudgeCraft]

Thanks so much. Yes they are compression gloves. I used to wear the black or grey ones but I wear them every day and got bored. Thankfully I found some one who sells them in incredible colours and I'm now an affiliate for her. Please let me know if you want any more details 💜💜

[@CountessCreations]

I would appreciate a link please. Came to the comments to see if someone has asked.

[@lisajones3692]

are you saying join or joint? I'm confused.
