> how long have you been scrapping ?

Since September 2004 at the time of my first pregnancy. I wanted to leave a trace of our life for the following generations. I discovered scrap by chance, and I addicted immediately

> What do you prefer to do with Scrap?  

I test all ! All techniques, new products, matters. even at the end of 4 years, I do not "turn in round" with scrap, that always renews oneself!

I like to make pages, but also mini albums, deco, cards…

I adore to make exchanges with my girlfriends, and to organize scrap meetings.

> Which are your preferred colors?  

The pink !!! that comes at the right moment having 2 girls ! I like also it turquoise, the anis egreen , the black.

I have evil with scrapping the “green safe fir tree” except for the topics of Christmas.

> What brings scrap to you?

 Relaxation, escape, happiness. And thanks to scrap who brought to me extraordinary friends!

I created an association in the 90's, and we try to make scrap accessible to all, and to develop it in the East of France

Cut out felt!

Cut 3 rectangles in your felts:

a rectangle of 9"x6"
another of 9.5" X 6"
and the cover of 10"x 6.5"

Bend contour while changing point : not right, zigzag, festoon, etc… change the wire for always dissociating felt...

Make holes with the “crop-a-dile” to 2cm edge, in the middle of the length of smallest felt. Then, pose it on the higher rectangle of size to mark the holes to be made. Idem for the cover.

Decorate your pages!

You will have understood that to connect, it will be necessary to superimpose the rectangles from largest to smallest, and to pass the fine ribbon in the medium.

Do not connect now, you will have thus more facility to decorate your pages, but scrap while thinking of that with respect to your page.

Ideas for decorating:

Make flowers, hearts, stars, fish out of felt, embroid the edges to emphasize them, stick then. You can make seam (doodling, flower.)  directly on felt.

Stick strasses, plug with stazon (make attention that there is nothing behind for good capacity to support). Write a word on felt, sew the edges and stick inside or in cover for a title.

Stick flowers preceded, with the transparent labels, self-adhesive felt “queen and Co” Encrust with true pearls coral in your seam. Intercalate a transparent sheet of overhead projector in the middle of your album.

Stick or bend ribbon.

Assemble your mini felt

Once all the pages are finished, you can connect them :

- by slipping a thick ribbon or wire into the holes. You can put pearls in the ribbon.

- or by sewing the 3 felt rectangles with a wire of the color of the cover, thus the binding will not be visible.

You can make a closing, example by sewing a ribbon on the back of the cover, and by connecting it with a button in front of, by tying 2 ribbons, with magnets…

Even if the stage of the seam is very long, it is what then makes all the charm of your album… do not haggle over the wire!

I hope that you will take as much pleasure as me to do it!
