scor-it mini - a review

i know many people would say, why buy a scorer when your trimmer comes with it? you see, having an exclusive scorer is something, well, not really a must for all because you really can make use of your trimmer/scorer in any projects but being me, i just fell in love with this mini scor-it!

i did these truffle bags through a tutorial on the scor-it website and these are really perfect for give aways too! just put chocolates or candies inside the open baggies and there you go... a goody bag to boast.

i hope to make more projects with this wonderful tool!!!

crafter's pick The Ultimate! - a review

if you are a fan of tim holtz, you will notice in his book ( distressables 2) that this adhesive is a must for adhering heavy embellishments and true enough, i find this so handy and friendly!

sticks clear, fast and very strong too! this white glue is definitely a must for every scrapbooker.

this is my first bottle and i would definitely be purchasing another one again in the future! oh this is available at Visual Creations, by the way.

challenge 56 at journaling junkie:

to use an advert as inspiration for a scrapbook LO.

i decided to use the layout we did at mitch's place... all about dots!!! we thought it was so hard, i mean i really don't do dots that much but we ended up playing with dots ( i did play with paints!) and the outcome was what i submitted for journaling junkie challenge 56. this inspiration would in term be inspired by a tote that came into my mind. visit journaling junkie blog for other creations by fellow DTs.

altered canvas brush holder ( SNR march 2009 issue)

i bought some canvas cloth for 77 Php a yard and tried to make it into a pouch... since i have no sewing machine, i masked the edges with ribbons ( stapled! inside of course). also tried using distress inks and stamping on this pouch or as my title said so, you can use this to store your hair brushes.

some fancy, easy flow of ideas once in a while.
