Art Tutorials

Inside this section, you’ll find tutorials for everything from collage basics to altered book pages, painty backgrounds, and texture tricks you can use with the stuff you already have in your stash.

I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step (but not in a bossy way) and encourage you to follow your own creative instincts. So grab that Mod Podge, pull out the stamps, and let’s dive in—because art is more fun when the rules don’t apply!
