First installment in my past projects series!
A LONG TIME AGO.... (alright maybe just 2 years ago)
I used to think scrapping was one of the most RIDICULOUS things in the world. People who sat there for hours and spent loads and loads of cash on things that they eventually store in a book somewhere (which was kinda ironic as I do traditional art).
But anyway, the moment I bought my first mini paper deck (from BasicGrey, I believe) all that changed. I still thought it was ridiculous but I realized it was REALLY fun! So, I started making gifts for people in the form of little boards, mostly small canvas panels that came with little miniature easels to stand them up on.
One of the first I did was a birthday present for my mom:
Simple, really really very simple. Materials include me & my BIG ideas Paper, KCK Crafts brads, and ribbon from this local store called Prints that I totally adore though it's SO expensive!
As time progressed I started decorating photo frames too. They were given away undocumented, sadly.. :(
From then I began purchasing ribbons and brads, and a few more minidecks of paper. Shopping for the materials was heaven! I admit, I've always had a stationery obsession and scrapbook stores fueled it. x.x
Well, approximately one year and a week from this date I did probably my first real taste of what it was like to layer and use embellishments. I went all-out to help one of my pals make a 17th birthday present for her then-boyfriend and TA-DAAAAA...
It turned out alright, but as you can tell the layout is kinda unstructured. Some of the materials here include Studio Calico's Fabrips, Cosmo Cricket's Boyfriend paper series (har har) & American Crafts' Thickers Letters (in Niki Riki).
That's it for now folks. I'll be uploading more backlogs around once a fortnight, so watch out for them! =)
Cheers~
