My 1st Scrapcard Experience

As I google for alternative things to do, I found something that needs really creativity and talent. Scrapcard is a kind of hobby that makes you meditate. Cards, colors, figures and lots of things to do.

You can even tell a story or create different characters on your cards..

AnneMarie & Merit and Nicole are the ones that I follow. They are really creative girls and do great job.

Here are examples from them and also my 1st scrapcard experience. I'm really excited and want to do more. More? Coming up soon:)

For my first scrapcard as I don't know how to start I just made an outline to see what it will look like. Then I put my stickers on the card and here it is:) My card with "Teatime" theme.

Party Themes

I love parties....And different custom made themes. I have done one for my dear daughter for her first birthday. The theme of the party was of course the bird. You know I love them so much... so I chose it. For details...

For those who are looking for a party theme or something different, take a look at the photos above. Frog Prince Paperie. Every dream comes true with them.

Cake Toppers

Last year  for one of my friend I have designed my first cake topper. For the wedding proposal he chose the day of her girl friends birthday.

I have done a bride and a bride groom. They loved it so much. On the cake its written  "Will you marry me?".

Here it is...

My first cake topper

 And also I'm sharing some cake topper examples made of wood. Mine was made of sugar paste..
