Altenew | Scrapbook Layout | Happy Summer

Crate Paper | Get-To-Know-You Book

Crate Paper | Get-To-Know-You Book

I'm sharing a new mini book on the Crate Paper Blog. Hop on over to find out more. I used a mini clipboard with binder rings from the 2013 Maggie Holmes Signature Line. I still had the clipboard in my stash and it's perfect for projects like today's Get-To-Know-You Book. It gives you more flexibility, because you can add more pages at a later time.
Binder ring albums are perfect if you want to add more pages later on.



I used a thin acetate sheet for the cover and decorated it with different stickers and chipboard stickers. For the title, I combinded a variety of alpha stickers and also a stamped sentiment. This makes the title more interesting and fun.




I also incorporated a string-tie mini book on the third page. This gives you more space to write down personal things that are not visible at first sight.






I included some white cardstock pages and drew lines with a black pen and a ruler. This is such an effortless way to create space for journaling.






Not sure what to ask your friends and loved ones? The following questions might serve as a first inspiration as to what to include in your Get-To-Know-You Book:

  • What are you wearing at the moment?
  • What is your best memory?
  • Name the top 5 things to bring to a deserted island.
  • What's your favourite colour?
  • What's your wildest dream?
  • What's your favourite meal?
  • etc.








Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra. And don't forget to stop by the Crate Paper Blog too.



Crate Paper | Willow Lane | Cardmaking



Crate Paper | Willow Lane | Cardmaking

I just love the new Maggie Holmes Collection Willow Lane!!! As soon as I received the collection, I started to make some cards (three with a white cardstock background and three with patterned paper). The cards came together naturally.

I guess that's just my style of cardmaking: no plan, no special design in mind, no complications ... just adding the pieces together as I like it. And just gowing with the flow.

I just love all the fun embellishments and the patterned paper from Willow Lane. I'm hoping you like my card inspiration. Thank you for stopping by. Have a good day, yours Sandra.

Hop on over to the Crate Paper Blog to find out more about a Summer Party Layout I created with different collections from Crate Paper. I went for a dark background, because I just love the patterned paper Palms from the Wild Heart Collection. Thank you for stopping by. Have a good day. Yours, Sandra :).

Summer Fun Fair Decoration



Summer Fun Fair Decoration

I had a great time last weekend with my cutting machine, some cut files from the Silhouette Design Store and patterned paper from different Crate Paper Collections. I went for this fun fair decoration cut file from the Design Store. It took quite some time to glue together all the bits and pieces. But it was certainly worth the time and effort :). And now I've got some awesome pieces of decoration for our home. Thank you for stopping by. Have a good day! Yours Sandra.


The journey is the reward. Being creative and making things with my own hands is priceless.
