I have already created layouts and a handbag box with my box of supplies from Scrapbook Supplies Online, so now it was time for cards. I had a neck spasm last Friday and couldn't get the meds I needed till Monday, so it took long to feel better. I had a great massage yesterday and now I feel like new, but I haven't scrapped much, as I couldn't sit for long without feeling my head weighed a ton!

For my first card I wanted to use a "flourish with a bling" that I got with my design materials. It is made by an Australian company, and it looks so lovely I had to make it the centre of my card. I had just seen a fabulous long and thin card created by my very talented friend Cathy Harper, and decided to give my card the same kind of look. If you want to take a look at some other Flourish with a bling products carried by Scrapbook Supplies Online, you can click HERE. 

The second card is a very clean one, with a focus on the banner with the word GIRL. I really like how this one turned out!

Remember, the March challenge is still on at Scrapbook Supplies Online, and you can get one of two 25$ gift certificates!

This house is ready for Easter! My daughter started school again last Monday, only to find out that a HUGE number of kids were sick from a new virus that causes lots of fever, and her doctor advised we should keep her at home at least for this week, so she's back at home. Of course, now she is at home but she is feeling fine and has LOTS of energy, plus she is really bored from so many weeks without any friends, so it has not been the easiest of weeks... In the end, we started with her birthday party planning (months ahead) and planning the Easter egg hunt that her class will have next week. I will be going to the class with some mums before the trip to help the kids make baskets to put their eggs in, so we are getting all that ready (the bunny and ducky baskets will look so pretty!). I also want to make some cupcakes for them, and to make them look pretty I created some cupcake wrapper baskets I will show you later on. But first, a fifteen minute Easter layout! 

This was so easy to make! I just cut two paper strips, put some tulle and ribbon above (Can't see the tulle? I'll show a close-up below), and used almost the whole pack of these cute Imaginisce embellies to decorate. No, it is not the latest and bestest in scrapbooking design, but it came together in a few minutes and my daughter just loves it! Here is a close up of the tulle under the ribbon, a very girly touch:

And now the cupcake wrappers. To make them, I printed out this template, and added a handle, ribbons and embellies. They really look cute, and can be filled with a cupcake with green frosting and a couple of eggs, like the one in the front, or simply little eggs, like the ones in the back. 

There are a ton of Easter projects at Practical Scrappers today, so if you are looking for inspiration, you'll surely find it there! And, if you have some time, could let me know if you are planning any Easter crafts? Would love to take a peek!

Pretty girly layouts

As promised, here are the layouts I've created this month for Scrapbook Supplies Online, using Echo Park's This and That Graceful collection. And of course, having such pretty girly papers inspired me to create pretty girly layouts. The first layout was inspired by a layout I've seen somewhere and I thought I'd pinned, but was not in my scrapbooking board. I love, love, love the huge banner, and had to create a version of it myself. 

Pin It

The other two layouts have baby photos, and with them, I have officially finished the 0-6 months photo album.... 5 years too late? Well, better late than never, and I am happy to have a finished album at last!!!! The second layout was very simple to create, I saw the patterned paper with rectangular die cuts, and instead of cutting them, decided to use them as the base for a layout. Love how that turned out! The pictures were not great, but I still wanted to keep the memories of the walks in our complex carrying our daughter in her "moti" and our favourite restaurant there, where we spent lots of time until it was closed (and that's the only pic I have of it).

Pin It

The third layout has one of my favourite pictures, our daughter with the lady that was then her babysitter. On that day, she carried her on her back, African way (though women do the same thing in Peru, and my mother-in-law carried my husband on her back, so it's sort of keeping family tradition over two different continents!!!!). Even though we have both moved from Libya for different reasons, we still keep in touch with her, because she is a lovely person, and I am happy I finally have this very important picture in my daughter's album. This way she will always remember the person who first took care of her, read her stories and played with her, apart from mom and dad.

Pin It

And I had fun creating a little step-by-step video of how I put this layout together. It is only one minute long, so it won't take much of your time. Hope you enjoy it!!!

If you have already fallen in love with this fabulous collection, you can find it HERE. I will be coming back with some cards using the same collection next week, don't forget to come and have a look! 


I have just seen one of my birthday cards published at Scrapstreet.com's Mini Mag March issue. I love that card and it was a pleasure to see it there! If you'd like to take a peek, you can click HERE.

As I mentioned in one previous post, I was very lucky to be sent Echo Park's This and That Graceful Collection to play with by Scrapbook Supplies Online. I have created several layouts and cards, but I don't want to share everything at once, there's too much yumminess in this collection, so we need to enjoy it little by little!!!! The first thing I created was a box. I have seen so many fabulous boxes created by the talented Mara from Love Your Mother lately, that I couldn't resist temptation. With such a girly collection, I knew my box had to be a girly one, so I turned it into a handbag.

Pin It

I initially found a template HERE, but my printer refused to work on that day, so I ended up drawing the handbag myself. And boy did I have fun! I decorated it with some leftover trim I had (I love this trim and I am so sorry to see it gone!) plu stickers, chipboard, and brads from the same collection. I added some twine and flowers that also came with my Scrapbook Supplies Online box, filled the box with some tulle and chocolates, and I have a spirit-lifter for whenever a friend is in need. Wouldn't you immediately feel a little bit better if you got a handbag full of chocolates on a bad day? 

If you are getting tempted by this beautiful collection, remember Scrapbook Supplies Online has the whole collection available right now. Will be back with more yummy stuff tomorrow!
