this time at journaling junkie, challenge 60 by me
"This challenge will run from the 1st to the 14th of July.
We will have an RAK for the end of July as there were only 4 entries for June.
Cabbie challenges us to do a mini album of our favourite things.
You can of course interpret this in different ways; favourite things at home, favourite places to go, favourite recipes etc. Some of the team did a LO instead of a mini album and that's fine if you scrap LO's instead of mini albums too.
Looking forward to seeing your creations."
you might be wondering what i did with this 7 gypsies naked album.
crackle paint.
mod podge.
micro beads.
misting and incorporating rub-ons are good combos!

i am so thrilled to be included in the photo gallery of scor-it!!! the owner Tim Hammonds personally emailed me his satisfaction with my works and guess what? he wants me to make a project for the product this coming August!!!! oh my what a thrilling and uhmm challenging assignment this is! i just hope i would satisfy him again... in art's sense.
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!!!
actually i did this layout at the scrapjam but i did not join the challenge coz of under-requirment issues. i enjoyed playing with inks and paints. messy in a sense.
for the month of may at artzdescrap, a tutorial from fellow DT Bree gave us this awesome tutorial on how to make a birdhouse. since time was kind of an issue for me here, my materials consisted then of a SCRAPBOOK PACKAGE and a piece of ILLUSTRATION BOARD. talk about grace under pressure! and so this birdhouse. i hope this looks like a birdhouse to the birds!
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.
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.
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.
for the month of march at scrapbook news and review, this is my contribution for the altered section. i decided to make a trinket box out of a clock package box.
here are the procedures:
1. this is my box.
2. cut off the top flap.
3. to reveal an opening.
4. adhere pattern papers to each flap or side.
finished product.
front part of the box
i also adhered fabric to the insides for that cushiony feel.
