Using Old Scrapbook Supplies

If you are anything like me, you have a lot of scrapbooking supplies that are a few years old hanging around your house. 

Sometimes it can be really hard to part with it and you really don't have to. A lot of the papers, products, and colors from a couple of years a go are neutral enough to mix in with today's styles and pictures. If you really don't want to keep some supplies there are always groups such as church groups, women's organization, or children's groups that can use use extra crafting supplies and will likely gladly take your extra! Try to recycle you old supplies and mix them in with your new products. It is interesting to see how many old things like punches, are actually becoming popular again.

Getting Published in a Scrapbooking Magazine

Scrapbooking is a beautiful hobby.  It is a way to preserve memories, precious moments and personal times. However scrapbooking is an ever growing and changing industry that like any art form is constantly evolving.  Scrapbookers want to learn new techniques. Often we turn to magazines for new ideas. Magazines often look for scrapbookers to submit photos or articles to there magazine so other scrapbookers can learn from them.  It is great fun to be published in a magazine, however like with any publisher, there are guidelines that you must follow in order to make your work more favorable or printable. You have to remember that a magazine wants to be reader friendly. The following interview by Studio Calico with Megan Hoeppner of Creating Keepsakes is excellent for showing you what a magazine looks for when looking at potential artwork.

Studio Calico: Q and A with Megan Hoeppner!: "I'm interrupting the regularly scheduled blog posts to share a bit from this month's guest designer and Creating Keepsakes editor, Ms. Mega..."

So give it a try, but most importantly remember to have fun! Always remember the real reason that you started scrapbooking!

                         Keep on Scrappin'

DIY | Branche Clothing Rack

branche + paint + metal wires + hooks = amazing minimalistic looking floating clothing rack

A new space to hang and display my favorite frocks, jackets, blouses, shirts and accessories. I found this amazingly shaped branche lying at the side of to the road in Brussels. I took it all the way back to my home in The Netherlands, painted it white with regular water based wall paint(latex) it turned out lovely and matte. Then I hung it between two metal wires that I attached to the sealing with hooks and... Voila! A new storage solution!
