My Thick "Prima" Mini Album

Hi everyone!! This is my thick "Prima" mini album which was inspired by Marion on 1 of her "Live with Prima" Ustream shows. Here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/5549194
I only came across the channel recently.... and there are plenty of very cool projects....!!

Here is my version of the mini. It measures 41/4" by 51/2" , I hand stitched all the pages and made a loop on the side of the mini for hanging charms and adding ribbons. It consists of 16 pattern papers that were folded into half, stitched them onto a piece of heavy weight cardstock which was glued on the back of the cover lining because I didn't want the spine to show. Its different from Marions.
I had lots of fun making this Mini and am loving it, will be making more. Papers used were from K&company Black & Ivory Fusion Collection.

Here are some photos of the mini.

I layered the fabric flowers and added some pearl strings and black pearls on the center

I already have in mind what photos are going into this mini... :D

This 1 here is a simple journal I made for myself for taking down notes relating to scrapbooking, so I called it 'all things scrappy'. The pages are also hand stitched....

Thank you for dropping by and taking a peek. Have a wonderful day!! Happy Scrapping!!

What to do with "leftovers"?????

Hi there!! I know I'm not a good blogger, slacking alot.... haha!! Ok, I have here some handmade stuff that I would like to share. I learned from Utube how to make this ribbon rose, just type in ribbon rose on the search bar, and there are tons of tutorials to choose from. So just pick any one.

As a first timer, I used a wired riboon to make the rose, its easier because the wire helps to hold it better in place. After making the rose... I added a feather and some pearl strings under the rose and laid down on another round gathered satin ribbon(does that make sense???). And, this is what I have, a little embellishment for my projects....... :D I'm happy with the result, never knew I could do something like this, I also made a very tiny one and it worked!!! SURPRISE!! 0.o" didn't realise I have skillful fingers, LOL!!!






The other thing I did was organising all my laces which I bought recently from Singapore.... So I made my own ribbon spools from leftover chip pieces, scrap papers and the center piece of the Kitchen Towel Roll......or the the center piece of the Lint Roller.



This is from the lint roller.




Kitchen Towel center piece, leftover chipboards and scraps......




Here are my ribbon spool, you can leave them plain or cover them with scrap papers.

Can have the sides in different shaps and sizes.

This 1 here, both the sides are in square and I rounded the corner. :D

Just some thoughts to share.........!!

Have a great weekend everybody!!! Enjoy whatever you are doing..... with friends, with family!!

Bye for now.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I would like to wish all the great mothers a very Happy Mother's Day!! Hope all have plenty of beautiful moments with your family. A wonderful day to remember....... :D

Stickers and embellishments

Here is something new I would like to share, its the Zutter Kutter. It came to the local store here on last Friday, when I saw it on their web, I had to get it. I have seen the demo on Youtube and it seems good.

I have been looking for a good cutter that cuts chipboard, I have the fiskars trimmer which cuts only papers and the blade gets blunt pretty fast.......

I also have a Carl cutter which cut chipboard but have it for quite awhile now and thought its time to get a new and really good 1...... Yay!!!!

Thank you for dropping by and hope everyone has a wonderful day and to all the scrappy friends, have a great scrappy day!!!!!! :D

Bye!!!
