I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before – how much I love festive occasions and journaling in scrapping. So I completely love the gallery themes of this issue. I love the major festivities that mark the year – Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas… plus coming from such a multi-cultural nation I also enjoy sharing meals at key holidays for other faiths from welcoming friends. Our festive fun gallery celebrates those moments that give joy during the year, big or small! In fact, with the holiday season not far off, why not give the gift of a thoughtful handmade present, like a gorgeous journal or off the page scrapped project to commemorate the fabulous year passed? Speaking of this past year, this is our last issue with our current creative team and…

Pocket page scrapbooking is really popular and it’s no wonder, I particularly enjoy its streamlined and fuss-free focus to capture everyday life. All of the major brands are now creating cards to complement their lines including some really fun interactive designs incorporating gold foil, acetate and more. I love that by purchasing a small kit, you get mini versions of a collection with all the key elements at a great price. The prints of the designs are generally smaller too, which, similarly to paper pads, allows you to mix designs and patterns in a way you can’t with the 12 x 12 versions. The cute cards are also super easy to store and very collectable! This month I take a single piece of white card stock and some pocket scrapbooking…

Metal embellishments are a fabulous way to add dimension and texture to a page. However there is nothing more frustrating than having the ‘perfect’ metal embellishment in your stash except for the fact it has the wrong metallic finish! When you think of all of the metallic finishes around, for example gold, brass, copper or silver just to name a few, it’s easy to see how hard it can be to match up embellishments! However you don’t need to have a huge stash of metal pieces in every metallic finish imaginable. It’s fun to play around with different mediums and alter the embellishments colour to co-ordinate with your page and other embellishments. AGED LOOK: Sometimes metal embellishments can look too shiny or heavy and it can overwhelm your page. The…

As scrapbookers, we are very good at recording and celebrating the achievements of our children, or friends and family. All of our loved ones have most likely had a page created for them celebrating something special. But how often do we stop to celebrate our creative achievements. I bet you can look back on your creative efforts from a few years ago and see a difference in how you express yourself from then until now. I can almost guarantee you haven’t stopped to celebrate this achievement let alone recorded it. Learning to see our achievements and then to celebrate these is an essential part of our creative journey. When we stop to reflect on how far we have come we fill ourselves with an internal joyfulness. This in turn motivates…

Shimmerz Paints are paints like no other. When you get your lovely pots of colour goodness you open them up to a hard dried out paint. You might be worried and think that the paint has all dried out, but this is where the magic begins. By adding some water to the paint and allowing them to sit, they turn into the most beautiful creamy paint full of colour goodness and I just adore the ‘out of the box’ nature of the product. Shimmerz Creameez have a lovely glossy, creamy texture which not only have a sweet colour element to them but also a slight translucency. The ability to build the colour is something special to this product giving a great deal of versatility to your projects. Mixing various mediums…

MAKING BUTTERFLIES WITH MAGICALS 1 STEP 1: Lightly spray a piece of smooth cardstock (like Smooth White by Kaisercraft) with water on both sides. This will help your paper not to warp in step 2. Pick up a tiny amount of Magicals with a wide, fluffy brush and sprinkle it across your cardstock by tapping on the brush. Go lightly, you can always add more later. You will not see much until you add water in the…
