ATC Swap

I'm participating in my first ATC swap at my local stamp store: Stamp Your Heart Out. I got inspired by my friend Sandra over at her blog. She made the cutest cupcake themed ATC. So I decided to do a shabby chic birthday. I went with an outdoor birthday party theme. The ATC was made all from scraps! There is some logic behind all the hoarding of paper scraps =)....they're for ATC cards!

Thanks for visiting and you can watch the making of this here at my YouTube channel: Paperdrama.

The Cutting Cafe` - Today's your BIRTHDAY

Hey guys, here's another card using The Cutting Cafe` Printable Stamp Sets. I love using kraft cardstock, love love love =) I used the Circles Background Set,
which includes the solid circles and the lined circles for the base of the card. The circles gave a contemporary look and I wanted to shabby chic it up =) I added some lace trims, a handmade flower embellishment and a button. The "Today's your BIRTHDAY" sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings Inside/Out Set.

To view the making of the card please go here. Thanks for stopping by. Now go make something!

Art Journal

This is the art journal that I created during a crop that I attended at The Die Cut Divas studio in San Dimas, CA. This was made using a watercolor paper pad, literally the whole pad =) I used my favorite elements: Prima flowers, glimmer mist, and bling. This was so easy to make anyone can create their own, so give it a try. The crystal floral spray and dove stick pin were from an Etsy store: StudioGarageBand. You can also check out their blog for inspiration.

The Cutting Cafe` - Hello Beautiful Card

This is a card that I made using The Cutting Cafe` - Jot it down Set. This set contains 43 digital images that can be used on card projects and layouts. The image that I used was the butterfly journal label. It went well with my pattern paper. The video of the making of this card can be viewed here. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy.

Scrapniversary Crop

For the past 3 yrs my cousins and I have been getting together to crop in July. I love my family and I love to scrap, this is the perfect combo =) This past Saturday "The Scrapnificent 7" (that's what we call ourselves) got together for our 3rd anniversary.


We scrapped all day and we did a "secret santa" gift exchange. I got some great goodies/treats.





It was a hot Saturday and one of my cousins, Annie, brought Halo-Halo...mmmmm. If you are Filipino you know what this is. It is an ice shaved drink/dessert full of yummy goodness.

We had a fabulous time scrapping and catching up on gossip =) I {heart} my family, we are truly blessed to have each other.

Canvas Project

I am meeting up with a friend, Rina, this Saturday. We both decided to make a little handmade canvas project for each other. I had emailed her a picture of me and vice versa. This is what I made for her, the canvas is measured at 8 x 8:




The papers that were used were from Webster's Pages Lullaby Lane. I made my own flower embellishments using some music note paper from a RAK. To see me make this project you can watch Part 1 here and Part 2 is here. Thanks for passing by.

The Cutting Cafe` - Birthday Cards

Birthday Card #1



Hi Guys! Have you seen this cupcake set at The Cutting Cafe`? It is adorable. I made this card using the Huge Cupcake Cutting/Printable Stamp Set. The cupcake measures 5x5. You have the option to cut this image out on your digital cutting machines, but I opted to just print the image out on patterned paper and I cut it out by hand. You can watch me make this card HERE. At the end I chose to add the yellow ribbon and it was not shown in the video.

This second card was used using the same digital file but was attached to a standard A2 card. Both sentiments used on these cards were taken from the Birthday Greetings Inside and Out Set.You can view the making of this card HERE.

Birthday Card #2
