Hi everyone, I am back for another layout in my Pocket Page Notebook. This is part of a swap I am involved in for The Stamp Spot. My partner and I have decided on a theme "my hometown" and I am so excited to be sharing my hometown of Perth with you all. I started off by collecting some tourist brochures and I set about cutting out images of popular places in Western Australia. All the sites fell into 4 distinct categories which are: 1- Perth and Fremantle 2- Rottnest Island & Pinnacle Desert 3- Western Australia's North Coast 4- Western Australia's South West  So proud to call Perth my hometown!! I have a process video for you to watch HERE I would love to know where you call home. Leave me a comment below. xx Amira

Hi everyone, I am part of an art swap community on Swap-Bot and am participating in a few Valentine Day swaps. There is something about receiving mail art that takes me back to childish glee. There is excitement and surprise and lots of thankfulness for being part of something international and soulful. Find me here Here are a few packages I received in February :) Package 1  Package 2 Package 3 Package 4 I love them all for how different they are to my taste and how they introduce me to new products and techniques that I might not know I like until I have them in my hand. I am truly blessed to have these ladies in my life. Thank you so much for stopping by. xx Amira

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - February Happy Belated Valentine's Day everyone.  I have always watched on as the art  community   participated  in the annual tag  challenge  hosted by  Tim  Holtz. This year, I am joining (thanks to my swapping buddy Sarah who created a swap in our Aussie Group ). This February 2015 Tim Holtz Tag  was very enjoyable and I  couldn't  help myself from just wanting to add "ONE MORE THING"....lol.. Here is Tim's Tag: And here are mine: Tag 1- 3 Flower Tag Tag 2- Single Flower Tag They started off fairly similar however, as I started embellishing they began to take on a personality of their own. Here are some close-ups of some of the elements.  Now, my problem is which one do I keep and which one do I swap ;) ?? Thank you for stopping by. xx Amira

Hi everyone, I make a lot of things and for the longest time, I didn't know what to do with what I had created until last year. I came across this GREAT swap community which I joined and have gotten to know so many nice people both regional and international. I have swapped and received and have loved every minute of it. Here are 2 of this month's swaps (both of which I am hosting): Swap 1: No-sew home made quilt cards The first 2 cards use strips of paper going horizontally. I also used 2 different embossing folders on the same paper to give 2 totally different looks.  Card 1: Paper from Best of Crate Paper Edition embossed with (Nellie Snellen) Swirls 1 Embossing Folder.  Card 2: Same paper embossed using the Damask Embossing folder by PortaCraft.   The next 3 are a quilted style that I totally love and adore. Card 3: Left over 1" pattern paper scraps arranged in a somewhat organised chaos formation using the Henna Embossing fold...
