Many families are feeing happy and relieved for this June school break, myself included ! It’s the time when we can all dig into the hobbies we love, take the photos we need for scrapbook pages and sort through our supplies to re-visit some of the products we have been hoarding. In Singapore, scrappers tend to prefer loading their layouts with plenty of embellishments, and some do it really well. There are also scrappers who create beautiful layouts in a simpler style, with careful placements, good use of colour, clever paper cutting and a great photo. This style is refreshing as it shows us that a layout can be just as effective with much less.

 LOTW #30

{ Designed by A2 }

What I love about A2s’s layout :

…… the great combination of colours, the clever cutting of the branch with the birds on it, the cutest photo and using the ticket as the jounal. It’s not over-loaded, it’s light and fresh suiting a baby photo to perfection. Congratuations !!

With more time to take things slow and the chance to capture great moments with family, we hope you will share more of your work in the Gallery. For scrappers new to the Made With Love community, if you need help in posting your layouts, it is  *here*. Ideally layouts should be 500px and around 75kb

Have a great Sunday, keep those layouts coming !! Aida

Hello Scrappers, how has your week been so far ? Made With Love has varieties of Provo Craft boxes and tins just ripe for altered projects and for scrappers who are new to this or feeling intimidated about finishing the project, the rule is : there are NO rules !!!!  You can use paint, you can use paper, marker pens, add Stickles, go wild with embossing powders, use scraps, any embellishments you like and finally …… use those ribbons you have been hoarding. These containers come in various sizes, from tiny to quite large, which means for the newbie scrapper, you can gently ease yourself into altered territory with one of the smaller boxes.

Have a look at what we’ve done :

Emeline loves brights and her Provo Craft Purse is lovely, a perfect gift to fill with trinkets or even a mini album. She uses Bo Bunny, Rouge de Garance and Jenni Bowlin papers.

For the Provo Craft mini suitcase I altered it to give that much travelled, battered look using Basic Grey’s Scralett Letter and Luxe papers. The plastic handle was changed to a cotton ribbon to make it just a little different.

And who can resist the Provo Craft tins ?

This was given a girly-girl look with the use of papers with designs of hearts and the addition of the Sizzix Frame Heart attached as a charm :

We hope the projects above have inspired you to make your own fun little piece with these Provo Craft products. I promise you will love how they turn out and will find (like I have) friends and family asking for them as gifts.

Happy scrapping ! Aida

Can you believe how fast time flies ? We are almost half way through 2009 and my guess  is : most families with kids are looking forward to a welcome break of the coming June holidays !

Time and growing kids wait for no one and nothing is more precious than scrapping our little ones as we can see from the stunning layout below :

LOTW #29

{ Designed by Joyinthelord }

Emeline chose the layout and here is why :

.…..i’m sure photos with smiling faces fall into your “favourite” category.
i liked the idea how joyinthelord scrapped a non-smiling picture and created it into a wonderful layout. Using eyelets is such a clever way to bring flow to the page too …..

Thank you for the lovely page, congratulations and more layouts from Joyinthelord are in the Gallery.

Keep those layouts coming and have a great, scrappy week ahead ! Aida

And the party to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month at Made with Love continues. Check out what’s come in this week especially for you.
