I cannot believe that 2012 had gone by so fast! In just few days time, it's going to be a brand new year. So here's a card to celebrate the new year (hehe!) :)

I've been busy preparing for Christmas - presents, cookies, tree and scrappy-ing ! Here's some of the things I did :)

[Warning: This is a very long post filled with scrappy scrappy!]

I just got my free set of "snowflake kisses" from Unity and it's the best snowflakes stamps ever! So I took out my Hero Arts inks and started stamping away.

Webster's Pages came out with a new collection called "Modern Romance" and I must tell you, it's stunning!! The colors are so romantic and they have tons of new embellies too! Polka dots, mini bags, circle stickers, perfect accents, ruffled bloomers and more!! Go to their site now to check out their giveaway!







Here are some samples of how beautiful this collection is.

Recently, I got hitched and what's a wedding without some scrappy goodness right? So, I turned to my trusty Unity stamps to do the magic. Here's what I came up with according to our color theme (purple/green)!



Don't you just love how versatile Unity stamps are? I love them!

No, not a starbucks gift card. :) I had some gifts and wanted some pretty simple cards to write a note in. So I took out my new "Insightful Meadows" stamp by Donna Downey along with some Unity sentiments, added some twine and... wa-lah!

So I had some gifts to give out and with all the gorgeous Unity stamps I have, I decided to make some thank you tags of my own. I have some pretty kraft tags and knew which stamps I would love to use.

Here they are!


I inked the "Dream big" stamp for the gorgeous butterflies with some Hero Arts shadow ink (Cup O Joe). Even cut some of them up to pop them up with some foam adhesive to give it some dimension. Then I used the "thank you" itty bitty for the sentiment with Hero Arts shadow ink (Wet cement).


Isn't those butterflies pretty?

Well, to get some Unity goodness, they are having a sale over the weekend. Here's the scoop!

Here's my first ever step-by-step scrappy DIY tutorial. I wanted some pom pom ribbon bows and it was quite pricey to buy since I needed more than 10 of them. So, I decided to make some of my own! It's so cute I had to share it on how it's actually not so complicated to make.














Cost of ready made pom pom ribbon bow = $2.50
Cost of 1 roll of ribbon (which I made 10 pom pom of it!) = $2.50
Value for money = Definitely!

Hope this DIY tutorial helps you in saving some money too.
Feel free to leave a comment if you need any explanation on any of the steps. Happy scrappy! :)

I'm not sure if this is their first time doing it, but I couldn't find any references to any previous warehouse sale box by Basic Grey. So this is a good time to splurge for Basic Grey if you are a fan. A box full of Basic Grey goodies (worth $115) for only $38! According to their FB page, no one box is alike. For US Shipping, it's $9.95 but if you buy more than one, it's FREE. For international shipping, it's about $50 (not sure if you buy more than a box, how's the shipping like though).

I just got some red rubber from Unity and just had to ink them up!



Aren't they pretty? Here's what I did.





I used the banner background and stamped it with some "Wet Cement", added some twine/brads/sequins for the glossy accented sentiment and popped the chicks up. I even added dimensional pearls on their cheeks!  :) Love the chicks with their party hats!
