Because decorative edged scissors are sexy

No really. This never ceases to make me laugh that we all loved them. Then we hated them. And now we love them again…just not as many of them as the first time. Hurrah for pretty things.

But if you are ready to laugh, you can now tune into FiskarsTV and learn how to make this book. And you can win stuff! And you can struggle to hear me whisper! And you can hear me say random British things like ‘higgedly-piggedly’! And you can admire the manicure I got just for the show! And if you look closely you can see how I totally messed up that manicure! And various other things that cause me to use excessive conjunctions.

(Because they are conjunctions. And, but and or. Conjunctions. As in Conjunction Junction, What’s that Function? Despite the fact that the new teacher language that I speak calls them connectives. Conjunctions. There we go. I feel better now, but it will annoy me in class tomorrow. Ha.)

But most of all, you can turn five sheets of cardstock, 15 photographs and a pair of decorative scissors into a book. And that is always a good thing.

    Hi Shimelle,
    I saw the episode on Fiskars tv, and I think it was really nice! You’re cute (if I may say so) and you showed really clear that scrapping is fun, not difficult and that you can get great results by just doing it! And I love that!!!
    So… for your next class maybe video included??? Now that would be fun!!!

    I haven’t watched the video -but I had to comment on ‘Conjunction junction, what’s my function – connecting words and something and phrases’ – I was singing along as I read that bit.

    Off to watch ShimTV now – how cool is that?

  14. Eleni Gratsia Says:

    Congratulations Shimelle!! You look and sound great … will have to give the book a try!

  15. Paula Says:

    I’ve been a “lurker” of your blog for some time now, but this is my first comment ever :)
    And I must tell you, your class was FANTASTIC!!!! I loved how simple you made it seem! And as much as I tried, I just could NOT see the messy manicure (it looked perfect to me!!!). And, you sounded ADORABLE with your “Engli-ishms”! And AND is STILL a conjunction to me, too!

  16. kristine Says:

    Shimelle, you are absolutely adorable! It’s so nice to ‘hear’ you after following your blog & classes. Your book is fabulous and I loved and all the little ‘tricks’. Very cool!

  17. Sam Fenton Says:

    I loved this concept and decided to make one for a gift for my sister after spending a week with them at their villa in Cabo. Here’s a link to some of my favorite pages from the mini-album.

    I am using your great project to make a catalog of my jewelry to show people what I can do with my custom work. The pages look great!
