Hello SwirlyGirls!!!!!!
My tutorial for this month so I decided to make a Mini Album cover with a magnificient March Project Kit.

This week the layout of the week goes to Andie.

Andie created this gorgeous shabby chic layout for this months Round Robin challenge. I adore the distressed edges and pastel colours of this layout.  The media media background with splashes of colour fit this page perfectly.

Happy Saturday Savages, Kim here. Today I have a Saturday Tutorial for Swirlydoos.

This tutorial is a start to finish Altered Fan. The fan is from the March main kit (early sneak peek. Main kit and all add-ons will be revealing March 25th) and I also used some of the mediums in the March mediums add-on (subscribers already know what's in that add-on).
Here is the completed fan.


In creating this Fan, i used a few different mediums, just to go along with the request for tutorials on using mediums. 

Sit back, relax and enjoy the video. I hope that it inspires you to get different types mediums out and play around with them yourself.
