Freebie Friday: A Cup Full of Winter, Part 1 – Alphas

Published by Sula H.

Ho ho ho, it’s Friday again, and that means it’s time to start sharing a new scrapbooking kit with you. It’s my third ever created full scrapbooking kit with a winter theme, called “A Cup Full of Winter.”       As usual, this kit is jam-packed with 26 papers, 78 elements, and three alphas. That’s a full-fledged kit with lots of unique elements, for which you’d pay good $$ elsewhere. But here, you’ll get it for free, and I’d love it if you could spread the word, so more people can enjoy this kit. Sooo, when you start collecting the parts to this kit, why don’t you go and drop a note about this on your blog, Facebook, twitter, galleries etc. and send people this way? I’m sure they would appreciate you sharing this info with them. Read this about the alphas … Anyhow, today, we’ll start with the alphas, and there’s something a little special to the red one I included. I left it as a full sheet of letters on a red …

Back to My Studies

Published by Sula H.

Being on winter break doesn’t at all mean I’d ever get bored. These days, for example, my studies have begun again, which means for the rest of this year, life will be extra busy as I’m trying to finish my degree. But looking at the bright side of it, I really can’t complain of being bored ever! I makes me wonder sometimes, would I try to fit in more in one day, if the days were longer?

Hybrid Hub: A Mini-Book of Travels, Part 1

Published by Sula H.

After lots and lots of cards that I presented to you in the hybrid hub over the last couple of months, I’ve got a special treat for you today. I finally managed to upload my finished mini-book project on my travels with my parents a couple of year ago. And today, I’m ready to present to you the first part. This is a full hybrid project for which I used lots of digital scrapbooking products that I printed, cut, and assembled into this book. Part 2 will follow next week.

More on Snow

Published by Sula H.

Let me tell you more about snow, because we had more snow again. That day we went to that wedding, it snowed again. But as always, winter’s giving me a hard time, teasing me about getting up my hopes for a real snow adventure, but in the end, it’s just another layer that barely covers the ground. Oh, how I miss those snowy days from home, sigh. I’ll have to take comfort in the snow pictures my mom is sending me from home these days. I guess that is as good as it gets!

Enable Me: FontSquirrel

Published by Sula H.

Font lovers, take heed! I found this website the other day, which has a large collection of awesome free fonts. And what’s best about them, they’re all commercial use fonts. So, if you’re looking for more great fonts to add to your collection, don’t miss it! There’s all sorts of handwriting fonts, script fonts, typewriter fonts, etc. … some of which I’ve never seen on any of the other big free font websites. So, if you haven’t checked out this source yet, you might want to do that!

Behind the Scenes: 6 Ways of Scraplifting

Published by Sula H.

Who of us hasn’t stumbled upon a pretty scrapbook page in one of the galleries, and thought, Oh man, why haven’t I come up with the idea for this page? That, however, doesn’t mean you still can’t use that idea on one of your own pages. The solution to the problem? Scraplifting, duh! But there’s more to scraplifting than scraplifting, if you know what I mean. There are lots of ways, in fact of how you can lift someone else’s layout.   No. 1 | Whole Layout Probably the most common way of scraplifting (at least for my part) is to reproduce the whole page. You take a layout, look at the way papers and elements are arranged, and then you copy that straight onto your own canvas.       No. 2 | Clusters Another way of scraplifting is to take one cluster and reproduce it on your own page. This could be the main cluster of a composition, but leaving out other details, or it could be parts of a cluster. Lifting clusters of other …

At Last! Those Christmas Cards!

Published by Sula H.

I know, the sending of my Christmas cards has taken quite a bit of space on my blog these last two months. But guess what I just found out! They arrived! My Christmas Cards arrived. After almost two months, and after I’d already given up all hope and thought all was lost. Of course, they’re too late for the season, but at least they did arrive at last (though it makes me wonder what took so long again this time). Last time I sent Christmas cards, they arrived after 10 days (which I thought was fast), so I’d thought three weeks would be plenty of time for them. But I guess, after having thought all that work of creating those cards had been in vain I’m not complaining. At least they did arrive at last!

Journaling Café: Everyday Simple Things

Published by Sula H.

              While pretty much all of us love the special occasions in life, things that make our lives fun and exciting, to be honest, most of our lives take place in the everyday routine, the mundane things. But usually, its the little things which take up most of our lives that get neglected the most in our journaling and scrapbooking. So, today, I came up with a couple of journaling prompts that will help you slow down for a moment and think about the simple things in everyday life. And of course, I already reflected myself, and here’s the page I came up with:  Font used in the prompt is DJB Squirrels in My Pants by Darcy Baldwin, available at sweetshoppe.com
