Be Happy Today!

Hello everyone

Its Nupur here today!

There is something in the air today!

Something unusual more of a mixed feelings

Hence I decided to do a little different than usual.

A bright happy day it is! 

I choose to work with some grey and

 some teal and some black and white. 

Using the amazing Cottage Living ,Hello Beautiful ,September Skies 

 I am creating 

"Be Happy Today!"

I choose the following papers with patterns in grey , teal and Black& white Stripes 

(oh these papers are so amazing!)

Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer

I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below. 

(12" x 12" - base paper) 

(6” x 12” – green Patterned paper) 

(5” x 12” – grey Patterned paper) 

oh the photomatt!

A frame outside your matt is a must.

A jet black paper is so amazing
hence I decided to use it .

(While I am arranging up until the end I use the white photomat
and then replace it with the choosen photomat)

Align the 3 papers as shown in the image below. 

(There are several ways to arrange these papers) 

Using the super red tacky tape - especially 24mm is excellent to stick the papers. 

(The red tacky tape is an amazing bubble free solution to stick your papers) 

just love them..

It is a good idea to have some interesting words on your layout.

Pretty!

Hello Everyone!

We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. 

We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are.

 They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. 

But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.

Capture Memories!

“The gladdest moment in human life, me thinks, 

is a departure into unknown lands.” 

– Sir Richard Burton

To travel is to discover,

Its all about exploring the unknown,
making memories,
capturing the moments
cherishing...
those good old days... 

Filled with freshness, lively designs, happy colours and soothing feel

Heidi Swapp - September Skies Paper Pad suited the best to work with.

The theme being travel, I choose the following papers

with graphic elements with blues and greens .

(oh these patterns are amazing!)

Decisions, decisions, decisions! 

Which paper goes at the top?
Which paper goes at the bottom?
Which paper dwells in between?

(after a bit of thinking...)

Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer

I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below.

(12" x 12" - Base)

no need to trim

(11.5" x 11.5"- Centre)

(11" x11" - Top)

Then I decided to go with the following paper being at the top.

(It is upto you to decide which paper you want to embellish.)

I turned the blue pattered paper over and used the white page instead as I love White.
(There are several times when breathing space is required.Hence White suited the best.)

Viola! After deciding their positions it is time for the icing.

I picked these 2 papers from the Stack with some 

amazing quotes, words, patterns, bright and happy snap cards.
Timmed them using the super amazing Martha Stewart Scissors.

(It is always a good idea to use the snap cards to make your projects interesting
 and to give that little memory touch.)

Then I chose the following papers and 

trimmed them according to the sizes of the snap cards. 

Having looked at all the snap cards I picked few of the co-ordinating ones,

especially the ones with travel icons and memories icons.

I loved the friends forever, happy trails and smile pretty.

(good old memories! These few words took me right back in those times.) 

Then aligned each of the following snap cards

to that of the black trimmed paper pieces.

Using the super tacky - red tacky tape I pasted the snap cards 

on to the black cards to make the snap cards sturdy.
(I always prefer using the amazing tacky tape 
due to its  super tacky and transparent clear crisp sticking qualities.)

Lets begin assembling now.

Using the super red tacky tape - especially 24mm is excellent to stick and align the 3 papers 

in the centre as shown in the image below.

(There are several ways to arrange these papers)

(The red tacky tape is also a bubble free solution to stick your pages)

Now its time for the snap cards arrangement,

Using the 3D foam tape and the red tacky tape - 4mm and 8mm suits the best
(It is always a good idea to add dimensions to you layout, 
it add depth and makes your layout look interesting, 
hence a play with both is must.)
(Its a must must have tacky tape.)

Once all the snap cards have been placed

its time to add the photo mats.

(There are several way to arrange the snap cards and photo matts.) 

Moving it all around and then deciding where it looks good 
could be very fun idea to experiment.

Oooh these eye candies are just too amazing.

Playing around with it all is indeed super fun.

(I just cant get my eyes of these candies, they are so yum..

I love these embellishments.)
But at times a question about how to stick them often gets me thinking..
All thanks to the amazing tacky glue, 
it dries all clear and indeed a perfect solution for all the sticking problems
(If you haven't tried it yet, its must a try).

Ahaa...now its time to add some cherries on the top, using the amazing and super cool

Welcome Spring!

A very big Hello to Everyone!

When I tell people I do “scrapbooking”, 

many of them think of a sugar paper book 

purchased from a newsagent or 

something made out of scrap etc 

with photos and 

several newspaper or magazine cuttings , 

and are usually quite confused with the whole idea.

How, where, why several questions fill up their mind.

But now things are different and the world of scrapbooking has taken a leap.

We now have designers papers, embellishments and more beautiful ways to

show off your wonderful photos, to put a meaning,

to add a story to them, a way to express your emotions.

By using designer papers and embellishments you can create 

wonderful pieces of art which can be treasured for years.

Here rolls in my very 1st DT

step- by- step photo tutorial.

Spring! Who doesn't love Spring.

Spring is nature’s way of saying, "Let’s party!" 

                         - Robin Williams

Filled with freshness, lively designs and happy colours
 Heidi Swapp - September Skies Paper Pad suited the best to work with.

The theme being Spring, I choose the following papers

with flowers and bright greens and reds.

(oh these flowers are so beautiful!)

After having chosen the papers now its time to decide on
which paper goes at the top, bottom and which one stays in-between 

as well as what combination makes a good attractive base for the layout,

(after a bit of thinking...)

I decided to go with the floral patterned paper being at the top.
(It is upto you to decide which paper you want to embellish.)

Now onto the next step.
Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer,  

I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below.
(12" x 12" - Base)
 no need to trim
(11.5" x 11.5"- Centre)
(11" x11" - Top)

Viola! After deciding their positions it is time for the icing.

I picked these 2 papers from the Stack with some 

amazing quotes, words, patterns, bright and happy snap cards .

(It is always a good idea to use the snap cards.) 

 Having looked at all the snap cards I picked few of the co-ordinating ones,
especially the florals attracted me along with the abbreviations and

 the photo mats and now we are all ready to add the toppings.
    

Lets begin assembling now.

Using the  super red tacky tape I aligned and pasted the 3 papers 

on one corner as shown in the image below.

(There are several ways to arrange these papers)

Now its time for the snap cards arrangements
 Using the 3D foam tape and the red tacky tape

I arranged the snap cards and the photo mats.

There are several ways to arrange it.

Playing around with it all is indeed super fun.

Ahaa...now its time to add some cherries on the top using the amazing and super cool
