Paper craze!


I went to the Paper Market & NBC today. Paper Market sells mainly scrapbook stuff while NBC had more stationery. And there was sales - just in time for me to get the crafty very basics supplies (glue, scissors and a mat). In addition I bought these scrapbooking stuff :

25May11 - Shawn @ 2


This was something which I had done based on the sketch from Let's Scrap community. I took out some old photos which were printed last year and started off by selecting to make part of the sketch. Since I'm under-equipped without much choices of papers, I decided to take out the magazines again for inspiration.


Raw stuff :
  • Words cutouts from Beautiful Home magazine
  • Same range of paper from the day before Paperworks Fall
  • Small piece of drawing paper with lots of crayon layers/colors, crumpled and layered again




  

24May11 - The 1st Home medley


Couldn't get more crafty ideas, so this was the best I could do for the 1st project in about 1hr or so. Ended up in a pretty confused concept (well, partly because I couldn't plan for the outcome!)





Raw stuff :
  • Ikea Ribba photo frame
  • Mosaic Vellum and patterned paper from Paperworks Fall collection
  • The word "Home" - cutouts of fabric prints from Beautiful Home magazine
  • Black construction paper

The calling….

I was recently being being bitten by the scrap-bug, inspired by some sites to craft and scrapbook. So I decided to start this to blog down I had been doing and planning to do to keep my hands and brains busy (apart from minding the boys).  So these took place over the past few days :
■24May Tues I dug up boxed up old scrapbooking paper that I bought 6yrs ago, nothing much really. Joined Let’s scrap community. Did one simple collage of dugups and cutouts from magazine in an hour or so.
■25May Wed Took the MayaRoad.com deal which apparently would have saved up to 64% of the retail price. But these are old stash, but who cares! Did the Let’s scrap community weekly sketch ensemble and submitted online
■26May Thrus Found out Little Yellow Bargains, started adding things into the cart, have not checked out 
■27May Fri Just surfing for ideas, reading up. Decided to create this blog for my creations!
And endless of bookmarking pages, blogs and companies sites for ideas!
