Teresa Collins - Notations- coming up!!

Yaaay i just ordered the TC Notations memory album kit! This album kit is stuffed with all possible goodness that you would need for an album to look perfect.

Album Kit includes: album in black, 3 sheets of dividers, 3 sheets of die-cuts, 10 cards, 17 small journal die-cuts, alphabet stickers and 1 envelope

. Great for who has a huge family. Since we get an album included i was planning to buy black photo album paper which are thick cardstock papers and put in as well in the album for extra space for photos and use the 10 cards to write on instead. Luckily the album has no bind-it-all binding but 3 rings, so i can easily just punch 3 holes and put in which is great news to me who do not own a bind-it-all machine. The size of the album is 9 1/4 x 8 1/4. A youtube clip of the kit.

Charlie LaBonte made her own version of the album and inked it and her version will be my

inspiration for this album. Loved it!!!

I ordered this kit right after i found out that the SMASH book will be delayed due to manufacturing issues for few weeks, this will be a nice comforting in the waiting for the SMASH book.

Time to make cupcakes!!

Now that spring is around the corner and we have plenty of birthdays and parties i felt like making cupcakes, so i ordered few things to help me making cupcakes and i ordered from kakburken.se which has really good prices on everything regarding baking. I ordered 3 tips as i dont know how they will look to be on the safe side and blue sugar paste, gold shimmer and other stuff. Looking forward to make. Now all i need is some good recipe. I also ordered mango, mint, pear and tutti-frutti aroma for extra taste in the frosting from borgebykryddgard.jetshop.se . I am excited!!

I actually went back and bought some more tools to decorate cakes and cupcakes with.

House-shape mini album!

Finally done with my house shaped mini album!! It took so much time, because i dont have any die cut machine i cut every piece by hand in this mini album, all chipboard and designed paper aswell. I wanted it to look like a house when u look at it from front. I tried to cut different shapes until i was happy with it. So this is the result of my hard work :) but i enjoyed every minute. My family decided to buy a new house and i am planning to put in all the planing, photos and journaling along the way. These are the videos that inspired me to make the house mini house this way! Click the photos to make it bigger. This mini album has over 60 sports for photos and journaling, both big and small.

The paper used in the mini album is the complete paper crafting kit by Cosmo Cricket, the Earth Love kit and also papers by imaginisce as it had autumn theme, and the colours and papers with leaves on are just perfect for my trees. The kit came with 12 design papers, 18 element card, 8 borders and 19 cardstock stickers and i used almost everything.

The front page is the housedoor and window that i made out of a jounaling card and put glossy acent on to make it shiny like a window.

Through out the mini i have half pages for extra journaling and photo spots.

I made a mailbox by cutting out a shape of a mailbox, took me some time to get it the way i wanted.

This waterfall pocket i made my watching kathryns tutorial video on yt, a great tutorial! I made a change my putting extra tags in it aswell for more place for photos and journaling.

I loved making the tree but it was tough cutting out all leaves on the other side of the tree.

A house need a trash can.

Not to mention the tv! :)

I used my marta steward punch to make the fence..

A future scraproom bookcase system...

photos taken from http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/search/?query=expedit&pageNumber=0

One thing i love about youtube is to see all scrap fellows scrap/craft rooms. They are so well organized and look amazing despite everything in there and it is really stuffed with everything. Now, i dont think that i will have a scraproom anytime soon however in my future scraproom i would def want to invest in a good shelfsystem or bookcase inwhich everything will fit. I went to Ikea today which is one of my favorite stores and saw the EXPEDIT bookcase series, loved it!!!

It came in different sizes and i liked the no 1 best. Of course, they come in different sizes and shapes as no 6 & 7. No 1 is a favorite because of the two spaces in the middle section for 12x12 paper pads :) No 2 is the desk section that can also be used as the space where u scrap and easy reach stuff in the bookcase. No 3,4,5 are all different inserts into the squared areas in the shelving unit. You can chose from insert with one door, with 2 drawers or shelf inserts like no 4 and of course different colors as well. Possibilities are endless and i cant wait until i get my hands on one of these and start organize my scrapcorner!! Best thing is that it is very pricey, everything for me would cost around 150 £ the way i wanted mine to be!! Press the picture for a bigger size.

chipboard lot :)

I love recycling and often you can find very good things you can reuse for scrapbooking. At my work we deal alot with chipboard so instead of throwing away these lovely chipboard i decided to use it for making albums. They are approx 50cm x 70 cm so they are very big but not the thickest chipboard which works perfectly for cutting. So start recycle and you will find plenty of goodies to use for your projects.

Vintage mini album and altered dress forms

This is my latest project. Well i finished it some time ago but just did not have time to make a video so i took photos and made it into a video. It is a paper bag mini album using 2 collections by 7 gypsies paper pads, the gypsy market and Savannah. I think they work perfectly together and i tried to embellish it sparsely, but it looks big anyways. I love Kathryn's paper bag minis and have done several of them now. Next is a baby mini album for a close friend.

Smash by K&Co

This is such a great product that i would love to get and work with later when it is on the market.

I will def buy one for muself as i love to write and journal everyday and up till now i have been writing a diary since 3d grade, wow it feels such a long time (i am 24 :) ). Cant wait to get my hands on one of these. What do u think ladies?

inside the journaling pad by K&Co blue awning

One thing i dont like about certain is that you cant really see all of it, like these journaling pads. I haven't seen all the journaling stickers yet i decided to buy so now i will show all the different stickers that are included as i know it is not available otherwise. It is always good to see inside the products aswell. As some of these can be incorporated in projects aswell where you use different collections.

Making you self - A cupcake stand

I have decided to make my own cupcake stand as i did not found any good ones to buy and that can hold many cupcakes. This one can approx take over 50 cupcakes, not the biggest ones but a normal size. It is made out of cardbord. I simply looked for templates on how to do yourself online an dfound some pretty good websites that affored free download instructions. So i simply tried to follow and also buy improvising. I have painted it with white acrylic paint. The edges will be hidden by adhering 6mm wide satin ribbon. It really looks nice to me and it feels special cus it is homemade :)

blue awning K&Co collection for a special occasion

I decided to make an album and put photos from a special occasion in :). I wish you all a lovely day filled with love and joy and dreams comming true :)

2010-03-20

I decided to go for this amazing collection by K&Co Blue awning, it is truly beautiful and i wanted to incorporated many details and journaling so for that reason i bought almost everything in this collection plus the stickers from the wedding collection grand adhesions.

Accordion Birthday card album

I was so upset cus i did not have time to make my best friend a minialbum, but angel arlene posted a yt video on a supereasy and fun card/minialbum so i decided to make it as birthdaycard with pockets to put in vouchers of different kinds that will be our gift to my bestfriend (we will be 4 girls splitting it) at the same time a very minialbum as it will have some photos aswell. All in one card. I had such great time making it. I hope she will like it!!
