I don’t know about you guys but I seem to have a lot of friends getting married or engaged these days. And so I’ve been having fun with the Making Memories Wedding Collection. Here’s a peek at the guest book i decorated (from the collection) and a layout which i plan to have framed as a gift for the happy couple.

On a sappy note, I used to sit beside this girl at primary school and here she is getting married. (sobs) I love that with scrapbooking, we can easily make lovely,memorable gifts for momentous occasions like these.

The whole collection is available at smidapaper.

As we’ve been mentioning, Sin Yee has joined our design team and her specialty is cards. She’s been cardmaking since 2008 and her cards are really pretty. You can see how she pays attention to detail (she loves paper piecing). Her current favourite paper brand is October Afternoon. Here are some samples

Happy happy colours!

Sticker flowers from Sassafras Lass. (i love her picker fence!)

This sweet baby card is made using papers from the Ducks in a Row range. This collection has a pastel palette without being too washed out.

This lovely wedding card is made with papers from the Making Memories wedding collection. The classic colours and designs are perfect for wedding or anniversary projects. Look out for more wedding projects using this Making Memories collection.

Thanks for sharing your ideas & exquisite cards with us all, Sin Yee! We look forward to seeing more of her works in time to come. Have a great week ahead everyone!

Look out for these, on sale next week, our first ever card kit. We’re still trying to see how many more cards we can come up with from the kit =)

Colours turned down. Mixing patterned paper. ( & still in love with flowers)

In this layout I used at least 8 patterned papers, from a few different collections & brands. Who knew yellow would work with purple! =)
Try using many different papers in different sizes & proportions. Define each with distress ink & use slim strips to frame & separate.

Flowery products have never been prettier! Use different textures , even rub ons, choosing complimentary colors to unify your layout.

I’m also loving die cut shapes and messing them up.  I’m not really a technique person. What I really like is working with colour schemes & combos and being surprised
when they work.  Lately, I’ve been thinking of ways to incorporate more journaling into my pages. The usual journal tags are usually too small to tell the whole story. I’ve taken to occupying 1/3 of a page to tell my story and in mini books have found all sorts of ways to add journaling pages.

We will be at Cziplee Plus, Bangsar this weekend for some workshops. Come by if you have questions on journaling, colour matching…

Next week, we will introduce our new DT, who will share her beautiful card creations with us!

Our “This Is Love”, “What a hoot” & “Girl Friday” Kits have sold out on our e store, not sure if there are any more available at Cziplee but grab them if they do cos they won’t be repeated. Thanks for your support =) More kits coming up soon!

Also more shopping days!
