I could not decide what was more fun, putting these new albums together or using an awesome graphic design app I am using for the first time. The custom A4 size is perfect with the landscape orientation and in my customer base I am finding this size being preferred above the large album size.  First up is a set of albums I did was from the Uniquely Creative company and the paper collection called Steampunk Safari. What fascinated me about this paper range was the animal images with a truly unique steampunk edge. The giraffe and the elephant are strong...

Elements from this collection are perfect for any occasion, very close to all of the dreamers out there....

My notebooks are designed using digital scrapbooking and it always starts with an idea of design and then I think about the cover text.

The design for me is the fun part and these are the designs I worked on this afternoon. The theme is an Islamic one and really reflects where my mind is at this time. Each of these texts holds a very special place in my...
