So Tweet

This is a canvas I made using the beautiful papers from Melissa Frances. I had bits left over from a class I did so I used them to make the flowers and then I used two different papers from the range to create my background. The dot bazzill was also left over from the same class.  I love these sorts of chabby chic projects. I hand stitched a word in the title. (this is so easy to do and a cheaper option for titles). I used left over thickers for the other word in my title (So) and then I hand stitched the banner. I used the banner from the paper (which I cut out and popped up using pop dots) as a template for the other banner which I cut out of a different co-ordinating paper to add more flags to the page than just those on the background paper.

I saved on this project by stitching my title, using scraps whereever possible and making my own flowers.

Hi Everyone, Well if you've made it this far you know I'm the last blog for you to hop to.... I am the owner of Kith and Kin Stamp Co and I am so grateful to those of you who have played along.

I love colouring and really only got interested in using copics after I saw Alyce's lovely colouring.... that then got me started on creating my own stamps so I could decide the images I wanted to colour. My colouring is of me... Kyra Mermaid which you can buy in my facebook store  https://www.facebook.com/kithandkinstampco/app_150178545006427 .

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

-
Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life.
