Anne from Team Graphic45 came up with a really fresh idea on using tags, that is, Slider Tags! It surely got us all in the scrapbooking community, raving and we simply can't wait to DIY our very own!
Anne did a really good job sharing a YouTube video on the groundwork and craft technicalities behind the architecture of the slider tag. It's about 50mins long video, do watch it through if you've the time. Otherwise, like us, you can start the video from 15:00mins. =P With slight improvisations we make in the process, have a look at our final product! Itching to make your own already? Happy crafting and long weekends y'all!

9 Aug 2013 marks the 48th birthday of Singapore! Here's wishing the youthful nation, peace, unity and prosperity forevermore! As heartlanders do their final preparations of their gestures of well-wishes for the country, here's what a close friend, Mr Robin Oh (co-founder of Designed) had prepared for Singapore! Designed is founded by 2 budding Singaporean entrepreneurs, Mr Robin Oh and Mr Neo Poh Hong, who sworn to take woodcraft to a whole new level. In each of their wood work, not only do they challenge the traditionalism of the trade, they challenge the creativity of the human minds to constantly "think out of the box". Encouraged by the positive feedbacks they had received from their satisfied clients, we'll surely stay tuned to what's more to come from Designed. 'Nuff said, let's take a look at the technicalities of this "birthday present" Designed, prepared for Singapore. Craft Technicalities: 2 days on foot, gathering 48 pieces of wood from discarded bed frames, cupboards and wooden planks, found all around Singapore + 101% craftsmanship and sheer hard work I don't know about you, but I did feel that this piece of woodcraft is trying to convey a very strong message, close to heart. Just as how the 48 different pieces of wood from different locations and different make and type come together to form a complete piece of art, it signifies the power of unity. That is, people from different walks of life, even though they may not located physically here, there's always a strong sense of home, close to their hearts. And home, being Singapore. What're your thoughts? Share on this amazing piece of well-thought gift by Designed, to Singapore. Happy Birthday, Singapore! It has been real long while since my last tumbler art! Bringing you: Travel Documented Altered Tumbler ! Like most scrappers out there, I adore documenting about things on travel trips and I collect ticket stubs, postcards, brochures and just about any travel collectables I can get my hands on, and add them the photo albums or Project Life. This way, it gives a whole lot meaning and gush of travel memories when I look through the travel photos. And this, is the inspiration and story behind this Travel Documented Altered Tumbler. Let's have a close-up look on the details: Background stamp was by Inkadinkado. Instead of the regular stamping, stamped images were cut into strips of different sizes and I did a collage of these stamped strips for the background. Just as a travel trip, we piece together each and every memory and detail, and that's what makes the trip feels complete and wholesome. The pennant stamp was from Unity. I've chosen Charcoal Black from VersaFine Ink Pad, to bring out the intricate details of the stamps. The vintage map of Japan was from an old Atlas book. You can probably find an Atlas book in one of the thrift shops in your neighbourhoods or the nearest bookstore. Use a pair of really sharp scissors to trim the edges round the map, then distress the edges with Bark from VersaFine, to recreate a vintage look. Rolling 'em up and trim round the edges (if need to). Other idea: Recreate the look in the form of a tag or even a 12" x 12" scrapbook page, where you can add on travel photos, write short captions and embellish with ticket stubs, cut-outs from travel brochures and postcards or just any other collectables from the trip!
