Every paper crafter knows this – there is paper you want a lot and paper that you don’t want at all. Don’t want, but still feel uncomfortable to throw it out. Because it is paper. And maybe there exists somewhere in the world something you can make with this paper. Maybe somehow you can save… Continue reading
I know, for every crafter, and especially for the paper crafters, it is very difficult to throw out pieces of craft material. They all look so useful, so wonderful! Even when piling up in our work spaces and making distracting clutter. In the last few years I started working very carefully to reduce my workspace… Continue reading
Travelling a lot with my husband, I picked up the crazy habit of buying notebooks from every airport where we have a stopover. The only things I am looking for, when choosing these notebooks, are for them to be beautiful and girly and for the pages to open nicely, to be easy to draw tables… Continue reading
As a little girl, one of my favourite places to go was the “Earth and Humans” Museum in the city I was born in. It was full of amazing stones and crystals from all over the planet and even from meteorites and from the Moon. Amazing! Actually, it is still one of my favourite places…. Continue reading
You know that I am very much about minimizing materials in the craft space, especially in the paper crafter’s craft space. Less materials equals less mess and more creativity.

From scrap, from all these small pieces of paper which are so easy to throw in the rubbish bin while cleaning your work space. In this same vein, I will show you another project – how easy it is to… Continue reading
You know my passion for scrapbooking. It is like an everyday miracle – to take something which is ready for the rubbish bin and to give it a second life. And to send a message with this act: Think before you buy! Think about the planet! Why not make your own craft materials? You already have… Continue reading
Yesterday my new paper flower cutting dies were delivered and it was absolutely impossible to resist and not try them immediately. First I cut some shapes with my beautiful Sizzix Big shot machine. And here is the tip! Very often, when using paper or felt dies, some unexpected elements will appear on and around your… Continue reading
Total scrapbooking is something like Total war, but in a very nice, creative way. You know I am a huge fan of real scrapbooking – when you use all the paper (and other materials) “things” around you and create greeting cards, notebooks or art. Actually, for me, this creative way is real art. And if… Continue reading
Autumn candle holder in March? Why? It must be spring now in Europe – 19th of March, but if you look through your window, you will see late autumn or early winter. The colours are grey, brown, and white and the smell of the air is cold and wet. For the next three weeks we… Continue reading
Why a scrapbooking challenge? As we can all see scrapbooking is not what it once was. From starting as a wonderful challenge, tickling the imagination, it has grown into a multimillion business when almost everything happens with already completed material packages. Very sad! Why try to discover materials if you can just go to the… Continue reading
