mini minialbum idea

I bough some Puma college pants. Puma products has this information thing were is size, prize and all kind of information. It was on my desk and I was going to throw it away when I got an idea. I do a minibook I mean real mini..:) 

I just cover it with designer paper and I'm going to decorate it later and meaby but it into my bag as a keychain.

So here is my mini minialbum almost finished. I just trace all lines into designer paper and tape those down.

I used Cosmo Cricet Earth love collection papers for this project. 

I hope you like this fun idea that I figered out..

Happy crafting moments.

Scrapbook Bubble Wrap Envelopes

Here is a video making bubble envelopes for shipping items in out of scrapbook paper. Much nicer than the tan/yellow manila type. Doesn't everyone have some old scrapbook paper that you bought thinking would be great and never used it??!! I know in my stash I do...so this is a great way to use some of those up!

These turn out really cute and the recipient will surely love to receive it!

Please make sure to check out my blog at Lilacs and Lupines for other ideas!

Hope you enjoy the video:

Using Fake Tattoos

I love using Rub Ons but sometimes I can't find exactly the one I need - OR they are so expensive I can't afford to stock such a huge range.
So I have taken to using kids fake tattoos as part of my "Rub On" range - they come in all shapes and sizes and best of all, they are tailor made towards the types of things the kids like!
They are particluarly good for boy LO's - especially the Tribal tattoo designs.

Follow these easy steps and have a try at putting some "Fake Rub ON's " on your LO:

You Need:
Container of water
Fake Tattoos
scissors
tissues
Your LO almost completed.




Place the tattoo on the spot you would like it to go FACE DOWN.



Wet a tissue until it is sopping but not DRIPPING and dab gently at the back of the tattoo. It will start to become less opaque.



Use the back of a spoon or an embossing tool to gently rub on the back of the tattoo to make it sure it "grabs".



Carefully peel off the tattoo.
