NEW in store!!

Check out these essentials for your craft stash:

Tim Holtz Distress Stickles in various shades to complement the Distress range of inks & powders. Gorgeous glitter glue.
Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders in various new shades for that weathered embossed look. Easy to use with special release crystal to rub off after embossing. Create an aged effect in no time.

Distress Embossing Ink pad in CLEAR, a perfect match with Distress Embossing Powders

Distress Crackle Paint to complement and give that oh-not-so-perfect "Cracked" effect on your paper, wood, chipboards & more projects! Absolutely love this paint, easy to apply and cracks naturally when dry. For a more "cracked" look, apply thick coats of paint onto project. *comes with a brush on the lid, so no mess & less cleaning up after*
Tip: And now for a glitzy, weathered look, finish off with the Distress Stickles and fall in love in distress effect all over again.

For that aged look on papers, fibers, photos & more, don't forget the Distress Ink available in various shades.
New in store are Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain
Tool tip: use with the new paper distress tool (also available in-store, sorry photo not available)for that even more torn/weathered look on your paper projects.

Scraps!!



Are your scraps pilling up?

What do you normally do with your scraps?

Do you just put it a side in a box or will you make
a point to use at least one before you create a layout/card?

I will normally take a peek first of what I have in my stash box (pic above) before grabbing a new fresh paper! If I choose not to take a peek in my stash box , trust me it will fill up the room pretty soon. Imagine all the scraps!! LOL!!

For the past couple of days, I have been using my scraps to create cards. This is definitely one of the easiest ways to reduce your scraps. It is totally handy to create mini cards with your scraps and store them. All you have to do is to give it to your friends whenever any event or special occasions pops up!!

Here are some cards & one layout that I made using my Papier DT kit scraps :) Please share with me what else you do with your scraps! I'd love to know.





Toodles!!

Ribbon or Lace Tips

Hey there!! I would like to share a simple tip on how you can organize your ribbons or laces. I love to purchase ribbons especially those with polka dots, checkered or just any nice, classy & cute ribbons or laces. Basically all sorts of those. Now you know one of my "weakness point" LOL!! I always get them in meters or yards and ended up I have so many lying in a white basket that I have.



I got these round slotted clothespins at the ACE hardware
and decided to roll the ribbons & laces on them.
I really liked it and it is easier to search now!!

No more digging and untying the knots for me.
Pretty simple huh? Try it out!

Mini Workshop with Wati Basri

Dear Papier-ians,

I met Wati (through Jessy) during her recent trip to Kuala Lumpur. I have heard of her many times and seen her works online but have not met her in person prior. Her layouts and play of supplies is often times inspiring and you can feel her passion about scrapbooking come to life through her creative works. And as such, was keen for her to share some of her inspirations with our very own scrapbookers.

I am so excited and delighted that she has agreed to be our Guest Design Artist this coming August 2nd. Wati will be conducting a mini workshop session to share with us some of her inspirations and tips & techniques for creating beautiful scrapbook layouts. Her expertise is in layering techniques, not to mention her creative play with embellishments and inks.

Here's a little intro of Wati herself and for those who have not met her, she is as joyful and bubbly as she looks here! :o)

Here's a little intro to Wati herself...

"Hi everyone, I'm Wati from Singapore. Have been scrapping since 2006, and my son, Adam is my muse all these years. I do not have any specific style but I like to layer and cluster on my layouts and most important for me is that I have to focus on the photo!!which would just speak out and shout out loud on the layouts. Currently I own a blog challenge, Scrappin Kids which is nearly 2 years old and also owned the SK Forum. I am also currently designing for Laine's Papeterie which is a local scrapbooking store in Singapore. I had previously designed for US based store and also US based blog challenges. My creations had been published twice at Scrapbook etc and Scrapbooking Trends magazines but of course the best joy of scrapbooking is the sharing of the passion and the joy of making great friends along the way"

Save the date in your calendars if you'd like to sign up for her workshop (as seats are limited) and check back for updates. We will be posting details of her workshop very soon.

Meanwhile, Happy crafting!
