My mental occupation

I started scrapping late 2012 through an introduction of my good friend. It had been a slow journey but it suddenly picked up momentum a year later. As a child, I loved to cut out newspaper and paste them in a jotterbook. I did my first photo album when I went on my first overseas holiday alone. I struggled to find a style that I like, a style that was "me". I like mixed media because the possibilities are endless. I'm new to this and I hope to grow in this area. :-)

Round the page puncher: Wild flowers

Nobody does it better than Martha Stewart. I'm so sold on her products :)

This was the first punch I bought from MS and I adore it.

I've used it a lot for my mini albums

Use a distress ink to distress the sides a bit and the effect is wonderful :)

Martha Stewart Circle Edge

When I bought the starter kit, I bought another circle punch to go with it.

i think I will be using these punches very often :-)

Martha Stewart: Circle Edge starter kit/Doily puncher

When I saw this item in the stores, I couldn't resist it.

I cut a 6" for the main circle and I used a quarter piece for my 9" (it was sort of a scrap piece of paper) and I layered it. Love it!

paper trimmer - cuterpede

one of the first tools I bought was a paper cutter.
extremely useful to cut long strips of paper neat & straight.

it is debatable which brand is the best or most accurate but it really depends on your personality.
are you using the cutter to cut or to measure? personally, different rulers has different measurements too, if you get what I mean. I also bought the different cutters to interchange and it has added a lot more varieties to my edges.

check it out.
