It's Halloween!!!

Yes, it is Halloween today. For this Halloween, I've created a 6-page Happy Hunting album using Graphic 45 Happy Hunting collection. With lots of goodies, fussy cuts and hidden bookmarks, the album also comes with a removable photo frame which can be used to frame your face and take pictures with.

It's actually my very first time building an album from scratch, so the binding was not really that good in fact. But after watching several tutorials on YouTube, I guess I'll do a better job in my next album. So exciting!!!

Zpalette Inspired Typography Make-Up Palette

I'm always a huge cosmetics fan and love to get interesting make-up but sometimes they'll packaging is so nice that I don't feel like throwing them away...

So to do something that I can travel around, I made use of this Benefit Sugarlicious box to create a magnetic palette; a Zpalette inspired cosmetic palette... To get started, I painted the corners with black acrylic paint before I start scrapping because I know at the edges it's not possible to cover with the paper as it will add some depth and will make closing the box much difficult... So what I did next was to depot my eyeshadows and blushers from its containers by using my heat gun to melt the glue at the bottom and slowly lift them up using a sharp tool...Using some of my scraps, ribbons, Graphic 45 Typography collection and Prima flowers, this is what I've created!!!

Here are the eyeshadows and blush I've depotted...

Using Graphic 45 Typography chipboard to create the front cover of the palette...

I used the black rose button which I
got from Diaso as the button closure...

The inside of the palette... I got the magnet from Diaso
which I can measure and cut accordingly to my needs...

I created a 2-tier palette to house
more eyeshadows and blushers...

This is the back of the palette and the
little tray I created using chipboard...
