Kit embellishments




The newest collections from K and company are just beautiful as usual...... K and company is 1 of my favourites. I came across these collections by accident while checking the 2peas web for updates, when I saw these papers, I straight away place an order and it came early this week.
These collections are "Flora & Fauna" and "Spring Blossom". Both are gorgeous.

And.... I got my cinch.

Here is another collection from K and company, Alleghany Plum, what more can I say but Gorgeous!!! I saw this collection on Ustream or Youtube, not quite remember.... but it was a mini made by Katherine of the Scrap Beach and another paperbag mini by Laura Denison of the Paper Trail. These papers are just so so beautiful, perfect for a 'Fall' mini but it was only exclusively for Joann. There was no Joann in Switzerland and no way to order it online. I didn't give up. I googled it and I FOUND!!! It was available on amazon.com so I ordered 2 since I spent so much time searching for it. If you have been looking for these papers, check amazon.com. I got them before Christmas, I think they are still available.

Here are just some more papers from DCWV which I bought them when I was in Singapore.

My new year's resolution to shop less.......no I don't think so. There are too many beautiful things which I am not prepare to let go especially CHA winter is just round the corner. :D

Have a great weekend everyone.... Thank you for dropping by.

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!!
