Washi Tape Madness!

Confession time

I have 110 rolls of washi tapes! 

 Yes, you heard me right,

110 rolls!

Here is how i store them

the top 2 plastic boxes are from Daiso

and they are perfect because i can store about 34 rolls in each

 and still able to see the design of each rolls

the bottom 2 baskets are temporary storage

Here is a layout i done entirely using washi tape

it's so fun to play with 

the colors just cheer me up :D

______________________________________________________

I also use washi tapes for making embellishments

Here is one eg

I stick the washi tape to some white cardstocks

Cut them apart

 cut a small triangle shape off the end

Yeah! I have my washi taped banners as embellishments 

that i can use for my cards or scrapbook pages

You may share your washi-perience with me too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Shimelle's scrapbook weekend - how I store my thickers :)

I happen to have these photo on my iPhone so i though I could share it with you all :) this is how I store my thickers . It's a plastic basket from Popular bookstore ( it's a bookstore in Singapore) and it fits the 6 inches thickers just right . At the side I can also put in 12x12 alpha stickers from prima and Lilybee :)

I sort them by type - fabric / foam / puffy / chipboard etc :) Amy tangerine 's thickers have it's own section! Probably cos I collected too much of them haha .

This work well for me so far . Like shimelle says , it depends on what system works best for you. I happen to be the kind of person who look for the designs / texture rather than colour first . After I have the design right then I will look for the right colour :)

Thanks for looking !:)

Shimelle's starting point and CSI case file #14

Ok i'm lying to myself when i mention i will stop scrapping! 

Because all the art supply is just around me and i couldnt help myself !! 

I did one simple layout this evening after dinner

 using Shimelle's starting point and CSI case file #14. 

I love the pink and kraft and brown and beige comes together so well :) 

and here is my take 

Firstly , i splatter some acrylic paint mixed with water on a diagnoal line

Then i flick some Mister Huey grey mist on the largest pink paper

As usual, I inked up all the edges of my paper, and also stickers.

I cut the webster pages netting into strips

and used beacon glue to stick it down.

as i stick it down , i fold it to create the ruffles effect

I also used versamark ink and this set of stamps 

from MME Follow your heart

to add a little interest to the plain kraft cardstocks.

Also, i used the sentiments stamps 

"happy", "rejoyce" and 'Love"

 with black stazon ink

Supplies:

 paper 

AC Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection, 

EP This and That Graceful, 

MME Be Happy 

and also other assorted

 Fancy Pants and MME paper

I used the Neapolitan collection sticker book

 to add some stickers here and there

CSI Case file #13 - My best study companion :D

And this case file looks awesome too 

This layout is created using the following starting point from

 Shimelle Laine's website 

but i roated the starting point 90degrees :) 

Fun!

I used supplies from October afternoon paper

and i distress and inked all the edges of the paper

I made some pinwheels using pattern paper

and hold it down using a brad

This is probably the last layout i will work on this month

as exams are nearing i should focus on my studies

and i will be back with more layouts, cards and etc

MWL Challenge #9

I have recently sign up for a online scrapbooking class with

 twopeasinabucket

It's call the hitchhiker 's guide to scrapbooking

Held by shimelle laine.

I think that this class is very worth it as she showcased her 42 brand new layouts

and has 5 comprehensive pdf on the 5 topics, 

with 5 supporting video 

where she walk us thru the different layouts 

and also show us how to create one from start to finish :)

This is base on the idea on white space,

And white space doesnt mean it have to be in white colour,

it just means giving the layout a blank space 

so that it wont be too 'taxing ' on our eyes

Some of us might not like the idea of having too much blank space on an LO

i like of like the simplicity of it :)

I sprayed the Maya roads chipboard butterfly 

with Tattered angles chalk glimmer mist

And use some twines to wrap around the butterfly 

to give them their feelers :)

Supplies used:

Tattered angles chalk glimmer mist

Maya roads chipboard butterfly

AC thickers, Sunrise

Dear Lizzy Neopolitan scrabble stickers

Paper from Fancy pants, crate paper and MME.

WRMK baker's twine -red

Martha steward butterfly punch

Fiskars Jenni Bowlin tab punch

May arts twine

Till next time!

:D

Washi Madness!

Hello guys!

I’m here to share a little something about washi tape.

Some of you may be new to scrapbooking so here is a little help on that. Washi tape is now the IN thing in crafting ! haha. Why so? It’s so versatile and can be used on almost any surface.

I love them because they are colourful and customisable. I used them on my Layouts and my cards, and of cos my mini albums. You can also use them to wrap presents, to decorate your notebook/scheduler or used to decorate a birthday party function room etc!

Take a look at this, isn’t this cute? 

http://pinterest.com/pin/101823641544557328/

This can be used as a welcome gift for your 21^st birthday party

What about making a simple card for your friends?

http://pinterest.com/pin/101823641544557326/

Very easily done even for guys or non crafters J Just pile and stick! You don’t even need a scissors, because the torned edge add a little dimension to the card , nicey!

http://pinterest.com/pin/101823641544557338/

What about this kind? Making a banner using washi tape and stapler it onto a card, how wonderfully and simply beautiful!  (by the way, I will be posting a tutorial on this soon )

http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/2011/10/washi-tape-bows-%E2%99%A5-lazos-con-washi-tape/

You can simply make a bow by rolling another tape over it J

Don’t be afraid to make mistake because they are not as tacky as you think, they can be peel off after you stick down, but they wont come off on it’s own unless you peal if. Isnt it cool? You can actually reposition the tapes if you find the tapes are not on their right position.

You can even write on the tapes , some surface allow u to write just with a pen, others u have to use a permanent marker.

How about making decorative ornaments?

Made With Love Challenge #8

Very glad to be able to take time out to try this challenge at MWL.

This time i take on the topic of "All About Me"

I used the supplies from studio calico kit called papermoon

and added some elements from Basic grey oxford collection

Also some fancy pants paper

and washi tapes

In this layouts i used alot of envelops , tags

 and elements that screams me ( like the red specs, and camera)

and ' i want that to be me( like the A+ student )

haha

In the Smash pockets contains tags 

Each have journalling about myself

there are total of 10 items including my school, my family and my favourites

I actually took the thickers (natural colour) 

and misted with mister Huey's dark calico

to turn them into black colour ! 

I have also used the notebook punch from Ek success to 

create the torn notebook pages look 

on one of the tags

Really fun to scrap with out photos

because we need not worry about colour of paper not matching the photos

rather quick and easy

i shall try it again!

Thanks for stopping by!

Till next time:D
