Today I have a tunnel book to share using the same collection from Heartfelt. Tunnel Book….Aww…that sounds something NEW!! I was not known that something of that kind too is there in this craft world. Few months back when I was watching you tube channel I came across a video by Vicky Papaiannou. She is an amazing artist inspires me always with her beautiful Art Journals. I love her work and got inspired by her Tunnel Book idea and gave it a go with Heartfelt Creation’s new release. I found this collection was just so perfect for the same theme. You can look for her VIDEO here.
