Happy Tuesday!
Today is a super exciting day – as I write this I’m sitting in my parents living room and prepping for a big day tomorrow! I can’t share all the details – but it has to do with Television and praying for dreams to come true! I can’t wait to see what happens to to share more about this when I can!
It’s been a really rough week – on Thursday some of you may know from Facebook – I slammed my right middle finger in the van door and the door latched close. I dislocated the knuckle and severed a nerve in the finger – it’s so bruised and swollen and awful and I’m just hoping it doesn’t affect things negatively tomorrow because it still looks really bad and is still causes a lot of pain. I’m thankful for all the well wishes from so many of you!
I’m doing all I need to with ice, pain meds, elevation etc….It’s gotten better – but WOWSER! It’s been a week of weeks!
This tutorial thankfully was filmed BEFORE this happened. So, I have a Tuesday Tutorial for you today that I uber love!
I used the Basic Foundations pack from Three Birds the HSN exclusive – I LOVE this! I used the Orange chevron pattern in last weeks Tuesday Tutorial card and now this week I’m using several other sheets to create this bright and easy to recreate scrapbook layout. The fun part of this layout is creating the “hidden” journal tags and messages in the page. Ways to still tell your story with the photos, but not have it out there for everyone to read. I gave a bad sounding example in the video I created, but I think you’ll get the picture of what I mean!
I hope to see some of you inspired enough to recreate this for yourself! Tag me in Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter if you do recreate it I would love to see it! 🙂
Enjoy the Moments!
Hi Megan
I’ve tried to watch your video a few times already, yet I still get the same message:
“This video is private.” So I’m unable to watch your Tuesday tutorial, so sad. 🙂
I hope this will be fixed soon, so I can watch the video. 🙂
thks

I get the same message as Sharon! Hopefully it is just a flick of the switch to make it so that we can see you! I hope your hand heals quickly…
Mindy
HI Same here cant see video.
Linda
Getting error message…
When it rains… It pours… Hope your recuperation is swift. Sadly the video prompt states private…
I know you said you were going to show us how to create hidden messages, but don’t you think this is taking it too far? *grin*
Oops!!! Can’t view the video.
Hope you hand recovers quickly.
Hi,
Had the error message too. On the iPad, just go to settings, safari, private browsing and switch it to ‘on’. That sorted the problem. Lovely video! Hope this helps.
I was able to view and thought you ended up with a cute page. I couldn’t use all that lovely paper in that way myself – you see so little of it!!!
Oh my goodness, that looks SO painful. I actually cringed when I saw the photo. How awful for you, especially with a TV appearance ( I think?) coming up. Just as someone who uses her hands so much you must have been worried. If no one else has suggested, get some Arnica gel. You can buy it at Walmart or any drug store (Walgreens etc.) It really takes down the swelling and bruising faster than anything else. You can take it in pill form, but the topical gel is the best. Good luck with your other ventures this week, and pleas know that I’m praying along with everyone else for your full, speedy, recovery. Thanks for sharing your talents with us every week. God Bless.

I do hope your finger is feeling better. Such a cute idea for the journaling!
What a cute layout! I love it! SOOO sorry to hear about your hand. Hope it heals quickly and blessings on you, Megan!
Hi Megan!
Love the tutorial. My little 9 year old granddaughter and I will be trying our hand at making one of these
today. The tutorial gave me lots of ideas. My sweet and wonderful hubby is on the look out for the glue glider gun you use. I had and ATG. It would work fine for awhile, and then bam! I would have the tape messing up or peeling off in globs! Finally it bit the dust, before I bit it. LOL! When I first purchased it, I was
impressed. I have severe arthritis in my hands and the bulk of the ATG would make my hands hurt. I was
forever asking hubby to open it so I could change tape. If there is a place in Heaven for discarded glue guns, may it rest in peace. The concept was great, just lacked ease in use.
Keep those tutorial coming! LOve them!
Take care of your hand. OUCH!!! makes me hurt to look at it. Good luck with the TV endeavor. Hope all works out for you. You bring so much enthusiasm to what you do, it makes others want to purchase product and be creative. You are a real gem!

Great Video! Thanks for showing how to use different colors and patterns that I wouldn’t typically think of using. I can’t wait to try this one out.
Loved this video – I have this paper, and I never feel comfortable mixing patterns – this was great!

Oh my goodness I LOVE this layout and the paper! I am going to HSN now to buy it 🙂
Oh My Ouch!!!!! I hurt just looking at your hand!!!! I hope you have some good pain meds!!
Love your layout and paper!!! Hope you heal quick 🙂
Hello. I love all your wonderful ideas and inspirations. You are in my prayers for a quick & full recovery. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I saw the picture of your hand. It was painful to look at. I have a question. What brand is the paper trimmer you were using in this tutorial? I need a new one and I love how well that one works.
Ouch, I am sympathizing with you. I fell at the beginning of Feb. and broke my arm. The therapy is extremely painful. Hope your finger recovers quickly. Can’t wait to see what “you have up your sleeve” now with the TV tease. Praying you and your family have a blessed Easter.
Hello Megan,
Sorry to hear of you accident. I hope it heals fast.
Best Regards,
Luria
What a wonderful scrapbook layout!
Ouch! I hope your hand heals quickly!
