Hi everyone. Welcome back to this very special edition :) I'm taking you back through all the kits in 2018. How many stamps did we get? How many dies did Aunty Vera send? How many stencils?  How many rolls of washi? All answers are revealed in the video right  HERE Thank you Aunty Vera for a great year of really great kits!! xx Amira

Hey everyone, Are you ready for my 4th and final sketch for National Scrapbooking Day 2018? This is the original layout that I wanted to re-scrap! Ehm. I did manage to matt the photo but thats about all I did. So im not sure this even qualifies as a "re-do" LOL Firstly, the photo proportions are off! Its too large and it was cropped too close and a bit of centre. I re-printed it and left it at it's original measurements. For the extra space on the right, I decided to utilise it as journaling space and I love how it turned. This sketch is AWESOME for scrap pieces of papers that you want to use up. I still ended up using Echo Park's "I'd rather be crafting" patterned papers from the  May Kit  and I adore how well thy all go together and co-ordinate very nicely. I decided to place a piece of vellum so that my sentiment would stand out. The sentiment and all the "bits and pieces" on...

Hey everyone, Are you ready for another sketch to re-scrap another layout?? Here it is (Although as you'll soon see, I sort of didn't stick to it) And here is the original layout that I wanted to re-scrap. Cute picture- totally needs a re-scrap though- not so fond of terracotta and yellow.  Or flower punch art!! I am in love with this cork patterned paper from the  May Kit   from Aunty Vera Scrap & Craft. It's the back of this 3"x4" journaling cards paper from Echo Park (which in itself gave me a lot of grief- see the video). I also totally loved this yellow cross stitched pattern paper.  The back of another 4"x4" journaling card paper.  Another dilemma! From the May Kit, I also reached for the I'd rather be crafting co-ordingating solid papers and chose the teal and yellow combination. This is what I used to matt the photo. I also decided to only use half of each paper and ...

Hi everyone, I am so happy to show you this Pocket Page Layout which I made for Sarah's Challenge over at Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft. Sarah's challenge was to make a pocket page layout using at least 3 different techniques. I designed a template that uses 7 different tenchiques. I started by using the pocket cards from Aunty Vera's May Kit . Love the botanical theme of this collection from MAMBI . I started off with a blank slate that looked like this. Pocket 1 Shaker I created a 1/3 : 2/3 pocket page here using my Fuse Tool and added paper background to one and left the other one blank for 2 different shaker looks.  Pocket 2 Die-cutting I used this cute girl die which I bought online and teamed her up with this Floral Cluster die-set from Kaisercraft. Loving the black and maroon floral!!  Pocket 3 Stickers This alpha chipboard stickers were on clearance for 70c at my local Kmart. Worth t...

Hey crafty friends, I'm so glad to be involved in this year's 'National Scrapbooking Day' event! When Aunty Vera asked me what my challenge was going to be this year, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I have been meaning to get to my old scrapbooking layouts and re-do some of the awful layouts I made earlier in my scrapbooking days when I didn't have many supplies and didn't really know what I was doing. So, here is my challenge to everyone who knows what I'm talking about!! Take out your old scrapbooking albums, the REALLY REALLY early ones, and find a layout that makes you CRINGE.  See that photo?  It deserves to be scrapped properly!!  Now, if you can, really gently pull that picture off and match it to some of  your pretty hoarded papers and pull out all those lovely embellishments and washi tapes and flowers and everything else you've been accumulating for this occasion and .... UHHH!!!   I mean RESCRA...
