60 Second Tutorial – Mini Notebooks

By Magda Cortez

“Hi All.. Today I’m going to show you a big challenge I completed!! I made a video tutorial in 60 seconds! After thinking how and what I could do, I thought it had to be something simple. NO Fussy Cutting. Yes. I said NO fussy cutting! For this challenge I did a series of Mini Notebooks using Midnight Masquerade Collection. It is full of beautiful bold colors and they’re so easy to use! So here we go!
