New Layout

Hi everybody, I am still busy stocking up my scrapbooking stuff, can never get enough of them. Ordering online take up alots of time and waiting for them to arrive is frustrating. Scrapbooking is not so popular here in Switzerland, when people asked me what I am doing during my freetime, I told them "scrapbooking" and they go "Huh???" omg. :)
I have just finished this layout for a challenge, my very first challenge. The photos on this layout were taken in Japan when we have our vacation there last August. The girl in the photo is my niece. The theme of this challenge needs to have something wavy, and this sunflower maze is filled with curvy and wavy route, so I thought this might match.
Most of the products used here are from Prima, I would say 90% :)




Here are some close-ups.








I painted the word "maze" in yellow fabric paint and embossed them with UTEE and then distressed with dark brown ink. The embossing technique is 1 I learned from Marion from apieceofcraft.com.
Thank you for dropping by, have a wonderful day. Please leave a comment before you depart, I would appreciate it very much. Your comments mean alot to me. Thank you.

Graphic 45 papers and My Scrap-space...












Hi everybody, these graphic 45 pattern papers are so so cool and chic. The postman delivered 2 parcels this morning and I was thrilled to see these paper in real life. OMG they are just pretty. I have kinda gone crazy, I couldn't stop ordering. Since I came back in late March, I have been ordering scrapbooking stuff, and just couldn't stop. There are so many things that I need.... or I like. Every week, there is at least 1 or 2 boxes arrived, I think I am crazy. Luckily, my sweet husband, as usual, is ok with everything I buy. I feel so lucky.
I also posted a few shots of my scrap-space, part of it, b'c0s I am in the midst of cleaning up the room to make more space for the stuff that are coming in. Hopefully to get it done as soon as possible.


This is where I scrap on this long table with 2 laptops, a printer and I also leave space for a craft cutter (still deciding on which 1 to go for, most likely the BossKut Gazelle).
Does anybody know of a good brand?


Most, if not all, of the flowers are in this drawer.
Thank you for dropping by and have a great day.

The 2 Bs - Bind-It-All and Binderie...

Hi everybody, wow, we are already in June!!! half of the year is gone. Well time flies. Anyway, I have my new tools that at least is keeping me away from my bad hay-fever. The Zutter Bind-It-All and the 7-gypsies Binderie. No regret for getting these 2, they are awesome. The Binderie is so cool, batteries operated, without any effort simply press the button and it punches thru the chipboard. The BIA v0.2 comes in a nice pink color, I like that, still trying to get familiar with it. My first bind was not very nicely done, I guess I used too much strength, will be more gentle next time.






Thanks for dropping by. Have a wonderful day.
