Its my Birthday!

Its my birthday today. Guess what I got from my daughter as presents? A Martha Steward scoring board, Fiskars paper trimmer, Tim Holtz serrated scissors, Rangers embossing powder - tinsel, stickles in fruit punch and waterfall, distressing ink- walnut stain and Granphic 45 Little Darlings. Wish it was my birthday everyday :)

DCWV Holiday Stack 2012

I saw one of the new holiday stack from DCWV's Evergreen and loved it because of its foil and glitter papers.



Take a look at their video for the other new stacks (http://youtu.be/A6p7pAPHxX8) :-



 

One 12x12 page mini album

Inspiration from one of the You Tube scrappers I made this micro mini album Love from one 12x12 cardstock (saving costs haha).

Happy Scrappin!

Denim Scrapbook paper

Just as you would match your clothing to jewellery and shoes we have scrapbook papers to match your denim-wear. Yes, Authentique (http://authentiquepaper.com/products/Genuine) has a collection called "Genuine" which came out first followed by another collection "Original". Both the papers are denim and leather inspired and I love the blues in it. Who doesnt love a denim?

Genuine Collection


Original Collection


I love this layout on their website done by their design team:-








This blue stripe paper is similar to our Cats colours and my grandson is a fan too :)

Happy Scrappin!

 

Flower Fairy Tutorial- Non Scrapbook (said too soon)

Some of you must have seen or watched the Japanese cartoon Sailor Moon whose character look like this:-

  

Have you seen the real life anime character Anastasiya Shpagina, a 19 year old Ukranian woman who is 5 feet 2 inches and weighs 85 pounds? Yes ladies she is real and looks so much like the cartoon character. She spends 30 mins on each eye to resemble the cartoon character that she admires. If you are wondering how her eyes is as big as the cartoon character try using circle lens. Her make up skill is priceless.



 

Eventhough this video is not scrapbook related but her use of the flowers and the colour combination looks great on a front cover of a mini album or a layout. Inspiration! .
