November Kit - Scrapbook Werkstatt's

It feels REALLY Great to be able to do what meaningful crafting once again! And this month, I get to use Scrapbook Werkstatt's November kit - punch full of Pink Fresh Studio's goodness! The blue-yellow-white color platte is simply refreshing to the eyes. Easy to work with!

Now spill them out...

Project Life is currently my easiest memory keeping format. Just need photos, 3"x4" pattern paper , embellishments and pen! 

Making great use of graphic illustrated pattern papers. Lots of different pattern paper looked pleasing in an intentionally arranged card. A white yardstick is always the key to playing with many busy patterns.

And a couple more using November's mini kit:

Alphabet Word Play!

I have an obscene number of Thickers (alphabet stickers) and sadly, many of them had loose its sickness in my humid climate. Also, they really do take up a lot of space in my otherwise limited craft room. Space is a premium where I live and I've tried to cut down in owning supplies. 

Hence, this particular set of Alphabet Bigz XL Dies from Sizzix is a great for crafters like me! I just need to die-cut according to what alphabets I need at the moment. No need to own a full pack of alphabet stickers and see them go to waste. 

While catching up with my Project Life mission, I used these alphabets and created monogram background on several pockets. Here's a close up on one of the pockets. Do check out Sizzix blog for more details! HERE.

Table situation: I'm SO Obsessed with FELT right now! Especially in the unassuming GREY tones. Simply stylish and manly :)  Credits: HERE. Refer a friend now and earn virtual dollars when they make their 1st order! O how i LOVE ONLINE SHOPPING :D 

Have a blessed week, everyone...

Feathered

Hi Crafties,

Heidi Swapp Planner Spread

Goodbye February.... Here's a month-in-review spread using Heidi Swapp's Memory Planner from Scrapbookwerkstatt. It is huge and thick. It is as big as your regular A5 planners. 

On this monthly spread, I used numeric stamps and embellished with gold foil stickers and overlay from Pink Paislee's. The mix of polka dots and black stripes won me over. Hands down.... this combination is classic!

I love that there're pages between each month for you to take notes, journals and include pockets of memories and photos.

I'll like to keep my planners open on my table top like an open book and jot down little/ funny conversation that tickles me throughout the day!

Botanical and Feathers

Here's what I'm up to currently. My next Sizzix project using feathers.... Just look at the textures.
Maybe a short tutorial this Wednesday...? :)  Besides playing with papers, I always had the thoughts to dabble with fabric. How about you? Here're some Fabric Inspirations using Sizzix etc. : Sewing With Sizzix.

Right now ... this is what makes me let out a soft squeal.
Ferns, succulents and eucalyptus leaves and anything organic and botanical. A peak into my current situation. Sorting out aphorism (7 Gypsies and Cavalini's). Why...I'm already envisioning some of my future projects based on these themes....

Have a mighty good week ... 

Sizzix Valentine's Inspirations

Hi all...

we're in the month of February and Love :) which means there's gonna be lots of pink and red around.
I took my planners for a spin and decided to swap to a A5 Pink from Webster's Pages.

Charms and baubbles from Webster's Pages are so easy to LOVE! Now, it's time to look around fun elements to compliment my February planner layout.

Here's a V-day themed card using Scrapbook Werkstatt's February Kit. Full of Hearts and beautiful Crate Paper's goodies!

PINK PAISLEE'S

Hi y'all!

Here's wishing all a *Late* Greeting! Happy New Year and hope the coming year will bring you Joy, Happiness and Good Health =) 

December left us in a blink and here're projects done in the recent weeks using Pink Paislee's Yuletide Collection. These are to date my current favourite memory keeping mode! Memories in planner/ album format. Real easy to journal and keep.

My December Daily using Yuletide's Notebook...

Envelopes were die cut using Sizzix dies. Lovely way to store small notes and other adorable embellishments!

A layout using the same collection.... can't do away without embellishing and clustering pretty details! In spite of the busy busy detailing, it works absolutely works with a white background. 

 Lastly, a couple of Winter themed card... the grey tones in this collection soothes and calms, don't you think :)

Hope to be back again!

Getting into the groove of the New Year and we're in the midst of revamping and rebranding our current site www.truffulaforest. Stay tune .... to some changes (AND SURPRISE!) VERY Soon!!

It's going to be better with more improvements to benefit you, my shoppers! =) 

pssst: MORE planners, maybe? 

Layout

I love the idea of using old pictures and re-document them. There have been SO many pictures digitally stored on the computer. So sometimes when I wish to reminisce good ole' time, I'll pull out a specific time frame and just go back in time.

Just like this picture in this photo. Picture was taken 5 years ago and I miss those times where kids are much younger, much easier to pose and dress up! Great memories, Great fun!





Here, I used Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane's Pattern papers and embellishments. Cedar Lane is well know for its rich hues and great contrast color combination. True to that! I am ALSO in love with the flip side pattern paper in this collection! I paired the lighter color palette and dressed up my layout with a softer tone on a white background.



Do take time to look through old pictures and maybe create a layout with one of the photos! =)

It's ALWAYS Fantastic to create with a kit with lots of well-thought embellishments, papers... saves time and is a breeze to put quick pages together... Here, I created a few projects using October's Main kit from HERE.



The Kit is FULL of fun stuff!




Here are a couple of pages using Scrapbook Werkstatt's October Project Life cum Filofax Kit:

Pink Paislee's - MEMORANDUM

It has been a long while I last got excited about any paper craft collection. Over the years, my inclination and style had changed and possibly so with a more minimalist style compared to yesteryears. But the core haven't changed. That is to be a memory keeper creating & collecting memories.

Pink Paislee's NEW Memorandum Collection set my heart fluttering again - this time with LOTS of new product in line. Use-friendly, planner friendly, chic and stylish. Just my kind of style I like at the moment!

















A couple of cards using Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge collection - pretty & sweet!
