New Scrapper in Town - Introducing Marina Khong

I have just received this email from Marina.  She has just started scrapping and would love to know more scrappers.  Here is a short introduction that she has wrote:

"I'm a new Malaysian scrapper! :) Yeap, I just started this year and would love to be know more scrappers and be more active in the local scrapping scene.

 

A description about me and my work is in my blog. http://myscrapspiration.blogspot.com/ I'm currently a self-taught scrapper, so far I learnt everything from web tutorials and from other amazing scrappers who willingly and generously share their work and techniques online."

Welcome to the Malaysian Scrapping Family and we hope to see more of you soon.

New Scrapper in Town - Toh Ee

I am delighted to have found another scrapper friend in KL,  Toh Ee.

Making simple ribbon flowers

This is just a simple tutorial making flowers out of ribbon.  All you would need would be strips or scraps of ribbons,  buttons,  a needle and thread and you are ready to go. Just lay everything together as you wish and thread through the button and ribbons and you are done.

See how effective this simple embellishment is?  You can add a doiley to enhance the flower or even leave it plain.  Totally up to you.

Hidden journalling in your layout

Hmmm- where is the journalling?

Here it is at the side.

Voila!  Pull out to read it.

Its very easy to create a hidden journalling pocket in your layout. Here I have just raised the photo in my layout with pop up dots and that creates space which I added a journalling card.  A hidden journalling card is useful when you do not wish to clutter the layout with your journalling. Do try it today.
