 Going on with today's post I came across an 

interesting article entitled

"Why to start Scrapbook."

By

Guest Post Natasa

Courteous of Ef Zin Creations.

I get this question from a lot of ladies who don't scrapbook. So this

article was so detailed and helpful explaining it.

Here are just a few lines from that article. Later you

might want to click on the link and read it in it's entirety.

●What is scrapbooking {Wikipedia}

Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook. Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are often decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling.

●How to start 

//Materials and basic tools// 

You don't need to buy everything for your new hobby but it's good to collect things. For example a nice product packaging will be nice to decorate a scrapbook page, newspaper is always interesting for background and tissue paper from your brand new shoes is great, too.

If you want to buy some new materials is good to make a good search to all scrapbooking shops and you will find millions of beautiful products (papers, pattered papers, stickers, stamps, ink etc)

Some basic tools are necessary: scissors, pens, glue, a cutting mat.  There are also so many more tools to buy such as punches, eyelet setters, Guillotines & Trimmers etc.

My advice is to choose carefully and think if you will really use any of the products you will buy.

 I trust you found it an interesting read.

Well that's it for today.

Again thanks for stopping by and remember to...

See Ya Soon!

Cherish~A Wedding Day

Hello peeps!

Rachelle here sharing my latest mixed media canvas project

created for several challenges:

*DL.Art Thursday Challenge #117-Wedding Theme 

 &

*Mema's Crafts September Challenge-Lace, Flowers/Ribbon.

Let's take a look at the finished project.

"Cherish~Wedding Day"

More Views:

I created the canvas pieces and spiral roses by hand.

Once I had cut out each piece I used acrylic paint followed by

using tattered angels glimmer mist for added shine. I then added

the embellishments on the birds. 

In addition, I will be submitting this project for:

*Our Creative Corner-Forgotten Things Challenge.

"I've had the canvas fabric and embellishments for

 at least 2 years without use.

Just waiting for some extra time to use."

I really had fun with this creation and I hope

you were inspired.

That's it for now.
