A mini album for my sister…

IMG_49771

When we were growing up my grandparents lived in a different city, we lived in Oudenbosch and they lived in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), and then when I was 7 we moved to Australia. All my other cousins were spread around as well.

To keep my Oma and Opa up to date with their grand kids,  my parents and Aunts and Uncles used to send photos to them regularly. So my Oma started a photo album for each of her (at that time) 25 grandkids.

Not long after my Opa passed away in 1984 she gave us all our albums back which we have all treasured.

Unfortunately my sisters was one of those sticky paged ones, so I offered to remake it for her. Last week it was finally that time! Here is what I created for her….

p.s. Yes I know there are not  a huge amount of photos… but while we were growing up not as many photos were taken as these days 🙂

I haven’t included all the pages as I really wouldn’t want to bore you too much!

My sister doesn’t like fussy pages, prefers the simple but nice look. Hope she likes it! (it’s on its way in the mail right now!)

Products used:
* kaisercraft mini album (6×8″)
* Kaisercraft 6×8″ pocket page inserts (various designs)
* Kaisercraft Happy Snaps collection papers and collectables
* Kaisercraft Happy Snaps captured Moments 3×4 and 4×6″ cards.

Pocket Page Scrapbooking – Singapore

IMG_4901
This weekend it has really cooled down and we have had a nice downpour of rain making it perfect weather to sit inside and finally scrap those photos I have from our Singapore trip last year.

To give my kids a little more one on one time I promised to take 1 at a time on short holidays. My middle child was first and we flew over to Singapore for 4 1/2 days. We left Geraldton after Hip Hop on Friday night, met my parents at the airport and flew to Singapore on the 1am flight.

We arrived in Singapore at 6am and to make the most of our few days there we had a BIG day!

In total I took 815 photos! So the only way to scrap so many is the pocket page style. Here are a couple of the pages: (not all as I wouldn’t want to bore you!!)

I have already completed 20 pages – and I still need to scrap Lego Land! (another 150 photos!!)

Products used:

* Becky Higgins Pocket pages
* Kaisercraft Captured Moments Cards – Take Off

* Kaisercraft Now Boarding Collection

The Project Life Club!

IMG_3063
Hello!

Just a quick update from me… (Yes Finally!!)

For the past 2 weeks we have held a Project Life styled scrapbooking Class. We created 10 pages + the front cover and have scrapped close to 50 photos.

Everyone loved it so much we are continuing our Thursday night.

You can choose to buy the kit and learn something new every week, or just do your own thing. Either way, it promises to be a great night with great ladies and some scrapping done.

The kits will always be around the $20 mark which will include the plastic inserts, papers and embellishments that you need to complete it. Or you can pay $5 to do your own thing.

There are 2 places remaining in tomorrow nights class so give me a ring if you would like to join us.

For those opting to do the kit:

We will be creating a 2 page spread using papers from Prima Marketing, rhinestones, mulberry flowers and butterflies, washi tape as well as stamping using the awesome new stamps from Kaisercraft.

 WASHI TAPE UPDATE

We have received a big box full of washi tape. All the latest designs!

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week!

IMG_2930
Hello Again!

Hope you are enjoying this sunny weather as much as I am!

I would just like to introduce to you some new kits we have in store. They have been made with the modular (project life) scrapper in mind. But you can also use it to embellish your traditional pages as well making cards.

Each kit comes with everything in the image.

Each kit costs $12.50 with more being added weekly.

Captured Moments – Project Life Style of Scrapbooking…

Workshop_AUGUST2013.indd
 Hello!

Even though Becky Higgins has been around for a while, the scrapbooking world seems to have gone mad about  the Project Life style of scrapbooking. (A.k.a. modular scrapbooking)

What do I think?
Its great for all those people who have always believed they do not have time to scrapbook. Its also perfect to scrap a whole holiday where you literally have hundreds of photos to document a week or 2 in your life.

I don’t agree with documenting every single week….but hey – if you do that’s great! I just don’t need the added stress of making sure I have every week logged. But everyone’s life is different, and everyone manages their time differently (and I don’t really manage mine that well!!). I just know if I started with the intension of scrapping every week it will not happen after the 2nd week – and I really don’t need another thing to feel guilty about! lol

So how will I incorporate modular scrapbooking in my albums? I will be mixing it up. Have pages with traditional layouts, pages with lots of layers and then have pocket pages mixed in with it. I have a sample in the shop if you would like to see it.

What do you think of this style? Would you like to try it out?

Join us on Thursday where we will make 10 pages using the beautiful new Take Note Collection from Kaisercraft.

This is a class designed by Melissa Kennedy. When I was in melbourne for the retailer day they gave us 1 hour to complete this…. we have decided to make it 2 x 2 hour classes.

All you need to bring is 40 – 45 photos. (6×4″ both portrait and landscape) but if you don’t have the photos the first week bring them for the 2nd class, your favourite brown ink pad, pair of scissors, paper trimmer and your favourite adhesive.

Class costs $45 which covers both weeks, all plastic inserts needed, stickers, papers, collectables, wood flourishes etc.

Then we also have another class on Monday evening. (only if min. number have booked). This will be to create a full Holiday album.

We will be using both traditional layouts and pocket pages.
Kit includes:

18 x double sided patterned papers
1 x printed acetate
1 x 12″ sticker sheet
5 sheets of 12″ cardstock
1 matching album.
                                    Tropicana 12x12 Scrapbook Paper - Sunset    Tropicana 12x12 Scrapbook Paper - Horizon

Tropicana 12 x 12 Accetate Specialty - Beach   Tropicana 12x12 Scrapbook Paper - Hibiscus   Tropicana 12x12 Scrapbook Paper - Palm Tree

Don’t you just LOVE the colours?
