Hope everyone enjoyed this video - Would love to hear about all the children's stories that you have managed to publish or have always dreamt of publishing! :)

I enjoyed using your YouTube. To add margin easily in CANVA, after creating the new design Go to file - > click on settings - > click on add guides - > click on custom - > column = 1, Gap = 0, Margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38 Row = 1, Gap = 0, margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38 Add guides this will result in perfect Margins. ENJOY fast designs.
