Vegas Mini Album

Yeay!!! I completed documenting our Vegas trip :D I kept it simple mostly and I will scrapbook some of the pictures later. Gosh, I seem to be doing more this year... Project Life, scrapbooking (cardmaking as well...but that's been on a back burner for a while...) and making mini albums as well. But it has been a happy process! 

This is not all the pages from the album.. just some of them. 

By the way, I love the size of the SN@P albums and the quality of the page protectors. I am very sure I will be getting more SN@P albums in the near future. Unfortunately I have recently bought enough page protectors for my PL, else I would have bought the ones from the new Simple Stories line.

Things I made...

I have been quiet on the blog front but I have not stopped crafting! :) I was busy completing my first December Daily and then I decided to start Project Life this year. It's going to be an interesting year, with the arrival of our firstborn in March.

I was also completing a couple of album covers. I have a 8.5x11" and a 6x8" album that I have not decorated and I decided to beautify them. 

This is the cover of the 8.5x11" album. I was using it to document places we go for our walks but I guess it can be for anything now... hehe...

This is the cover of the SN@P album I bought during 2Peas Black Friday sale. I think it's a good deal. I love the size and quality of the page protectors. It's definitely a brand that I will look out for when I want albums of this size. I can't wait for their new page protectors to be out too.... to be honest, I love the Design A layout from Becky Higgins but I don't really like the quality of their plastic. So far, the best page protectors I've tried are those from Recollection, SN@P and WRMK. 

My December Daily! This year's theme is mostly kraft. I will go more colourful next year! :D

Custom Wedding Guestbook

Besides the custom cake toppers, I was also given the privilege to sew a guestbook for the couple's wedding. The bride chose the fabric for the guestbook and I added the flower/ribbon on the elastic band  which are part of their wedding color theme.

The package has already arrived safely in the hands of the bride (yeay! I am always kinda nervous until the package arrives in the hands of the customer... safely..).

I actually "ingeniously" protected the flower/ribbon so that they will arrive in the hands of the bride the way it left mine :D

She wanted the back cover to be grey so that it doesn't get dirty when placed on the table for guests to scribble on .... the pages inside are all acid free Canson watercolor paper (cold press). I super love cold press watercolor paper; they have a delightful texture to them.

I used acid free glue and paper for my custom guestbooks unless otherwise advised by clients. Even the journals in my Etsy shop are made with acid free glue and paper (the paper are  100% recycled, acid free FSC certified paper).

Blog banner

Some ideas has been playing around in my mind to design a new blog banner... I changed it a couple of weeks back and then I decided I wanted to change it again. This time, I am finally satisfied with the results (let's hope for a longer period of time.. haha)

The cabochon flowers are from Studio Calico's kit... I love them but somehow always fail to integrate them into my layouts. Perhaps I will attach them to a frame or something. Will have to think about it more... 

I have changed the name of my little 'business' from "Angelicquirk" to "Evelin T designs" on my Facebook page (the url has been changed too). I will proceed to change it here on blogspot as well. Am still thinking of the best way to do it... should I just change the name here on the original blog or create a new blog and direct people there? What do you think?

I also made a little custom stamp for the new name :) I do hope this new name will be a whole lot easier for people to remember (fingers crossed!). 

Angelicquirk was a fun name and I was published in a number of local (Malaysian) magazines, however I wanted my little crafting business to meld into something more professional and I think a name change was in place.

We will offer custom and ready made journals & albums, scrapbooking, mini albums, altered shadow boxes and photography as well as some new ventures on the way (to be announced soon).

Maybe one day, Angelicquirk will emerge again under the umbrella of "Evelin T designs"... who knows?
