DIY Magnetic Album Tutorial

Hello everyone! Cassandra here today to share a short tutorial on how to make a DIY magnetic album using the June Kit filled with Crate Paper products!
 photo IMG_4368_zpscuyasmcm.jpg
These are the materials you need:  photo IMG_4357_zpsf5rhsw6x.jpg
I found the magnetic tape at my local craft store in Singapore but any similar magnetic products will work fine too! photo IMG_4359_zpsdn2ad7ma.jpg
Cut out the cardboard using the measurements as shown above.  Then fold it inwards and glue it down. You may cut the patterned papers at each fold till the start of the cardboard to facilitate folding and glueing it down.  photo IMG_4360_zpsmlx4dfqx.jpg
Then use another patterned paper and glue it down. Add the magnetic strip at the last 1" and glue it down to the other patterned paper. photo IMG_4361_zps4sjha2tq.jpg
Make the accordion by folding it at 0.5" marking and cut out patterned papers of 4.5"x5" and slot them into the accordion and glue them down. This will form the inner part of the album. photo IMG_4362_zps3vftjulf.jpg
Then glue it down on the album and embellishment it with lotsa yummy goodies from Crate's Journey collection!:D The magnetic strip will hold your album tightly together! Oops if you have already noticed, the sides of the album are slightly torn as I pulled the patterned paper too hard and tight when bending the album. Alternatively, to prevent something like this from happening, reduce the 1" cardboard slightly to about 0.8". That would give it some flexibility from long term handling of the album! Hope it helps! photo IMG_4368_zpscuyasmcm.jpg

Thanks for dropping by! Hope you like this project as much as I have enjoyed making it! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

Cameo Christmas Shadowbox!



Hey guys!! It's almost 2 weeks to Christmas! Are you in the midst of preparing gifts for your loved ones? Or desperately in search of ideas?

Why not start with a simple handmade Christmas card? When was the last time we actually received a card from the postman?! If you are in for something more challenging, why not decorate a photo frame and add your favourite photo as a gift? Or you could also decorate any tins/boxes with awesome Christmas papers and packed your favourite home-made cookies in them? 


Still not sure how else to start? Google or find ideas on Pinterest! It's a great place to find lovely ideas and inspiration!


So for Scraplicious assignment this month, I created my own shadowbox from papers using the Cameo shadowbox digital files! They are from the Lori Whitlock Collection! I can't express how much I love Cameo and playing with it makes me so happy!

Christmas altered album!

Hey guys! I am truly sorry for my long absence as I had some problems uploading posts on the blog! Thankfully it's all over now and I have transferred all my photos into Photobucket instead!

For Scraplicious DT assignment this month, I decided to play with some Echo Park Christmas papers! How lovely they are and so festive!:) Such a traditional style! 

I completed a parcel box from the scrap papers from this kit and added a Hambly transparency surrounding it so that it will be more sturdy! Enjoy!

Plus, good news! I created my FB page! Do like me at
