New I-Top In Store Now

Hi there, Katie here, I have jumped on to share the exciting news about the great new tool that has just landed in store. The i-top from Imaginisce is now here and this is one fantastic tool that you will have to make sure to add to your Christmas list (or you can just buy it for yourself and put it under the tree, I think I will!).

What does this tool do I hear you ask? Well this tool lets you create your own brads! Yep, you can now coordinate your brads to your project using papers, fabric, ribbons and even photos. Pretty cool hey?! The brads come in 3 sizes (small, medium and large) and early in the new year Imaginisce will be releasing a magnet back allowing you to make gorgeous little button magnets too!

Check out my sample page, I have created two medium size brads (22mm) using patterned papers. One I then coated in Kindy Glitz and the other I sprayed with Glimmer Mist. As you can imagine the sky is the limit with the fabulous creations you can make with this great tool.


Another fabulous tool that has landed recently are the new Deep Edge Border Punches from Martha Stewart. These are gorgeous (yes I already have bought one) and sure to be another favourite. I will do up a sample with mine soon, so keep a look out for that. All these punches and the i-top are in store now and will be up in the on-line store today or tomorrow. If you can't wait give Leisa or Kerri a call and let them know you need one now!

Baby Boy - Pebbles INC

Anyone like robots??? I sure do, especially cute ones like these! This range has a stack of doublesided thickish papers and two sets of stickers, and as you can see the colours are really easy to match up for titles!
The boys recently met our newest addition (1 of 2) to the clan, baby Harry. They were so in awe of his tininess it was too sweet!. These beautiful soft pages reall suited the black and white photos I had taken. I changed them to black and white because we first visited one day after school and they had ther emerald green shirts on...not a good colour for baby boy pages ;)!!

Have you had a go at changing your photos to black and white on the computer yet? Most photo editing programs have a desaturating function that works quite well. Of course if you like to play a bit more in Photoshop, you can create a stack of effects!

Happy Scrapping!

Ooh La La! MME

Talk about versatile, ths range is great! Aside from the usual boy/men pages you can do with a yellow and blue based range, you can really make it work for anything. Here I have used the green bowl, yellow eggs and cream shirt to be the focus of my colour palate and I love the result. I have had these photos hanging around for 2 years now and I am so glad to have them scrapped! I have also chosen to use lots of patterned paper for this one...I really couldn't chooe one they were all so nice!

Just a reminder to register for the Garage Sale if you have not done so yet. I have spent the last few days going through my stash and I have heaps to bring along. Needless to say I will be looking for a bargain on the day as well!

Happy Scrapping!

Abbey Road - MME

So has everyone seen the loveliness that is MME's latest release? I have been waiting for this range to come since I first saw it in June and I really was not disappointed!
This layout, Shine, shine, shine, was done using the Abbey Road rage. You can find it online here or it is in the caddy at the top of the stairs in the shop!

Here is a little layout tip:
I originally did my journaling on a tag that was sticking out from the right hand side of the photo. I also added it last, and when I did it really upset the balance of the layout as it ended up in the centre of the page and took away from the photo too much. So instead I journaled around the outside of the paper and accents!

New Kaiser and MME

Hi, Michelle here. I have had the chance to have a play with some of the great new products that have been arriving at Scrapbook City.

The first is the new Kaiser collection called "Rewind". The range is great for the male people in your life. The range of embellishments, rubons, alphas and even metal tags are fantastic as I know I always struggle to find great masculine embellishments for my pages.





The other range I have used is from My Minds Eye (MME) and is part of their Ooh La La collection. There is a great die cut sheet and beautiful papers that could be used for so many styles of pages.

My Minds Eye and Bo Bunny

Hi all, Katie here! Hope you have all been scrapping well lately! I have been lucky enough to have a play with some new My Minds Eye and Bo Bunny collections this week and I thought I would share the pages with you.

The first is Abbey Road from My Minds Eye, in particular the Round and Round range. As usual My Minds Eye have plenty of great papers to choose from including many shaped papers again, and to go with the papers are a great selection of chipboard, ribbons and brads as well as the ever faithful die-cuts. Keep a look out as I am sure there will be some more Abbey Road samples to come from the other girls too!


The other collection I played with was Delilah from BoBunny. These papers are so rich and pretty and were great to work with, I think my favourite though was the 12x12 sticker sheet that is half alphabet and half decorative stickers including borders! This sheet is such good value and I had enough alphas left over to use for the Hot Wheels title above!


Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!
