A clever trick for hidden words on your scrapbook page
I’m busy in the classroom at the moment as we continue with the new Scrapbook Process class this month, but I’m delighted to share this fab Starshine scrapping project with you today, created by guest artist Paula Brown!
My most prized possession has to be my smart phone, you can pretty much always find me with it on my person. It’s not just my phone. It’s my camera, diary, phone book, anniversary and birthday check, a note pad, a reading book, a radio, mp3 player, alarm clock, encyclopaedia… in fact it does almost everything but most importantly it keeps me in touch with one of my most dearest friends in Australia no matter where I am (with no huge bill attached). With that in mind, I think it deserves a place in my scrapbook album!
I used the Shimelle Starshine range as my starting block as I wanted to document a particular reason why it’s so special, the map print seemed right. I mainly stuck with this range of supplies but did add in a few extra pieces from American Crafts, Hero Arts, Studio Calico, Paper Artsy, and Simple Stories. I clustered three areas of interested with two photographs and one shaker mobile phone embellishment made from a die and stamps, which folds out to show hidden journalling inside.
Underneath each small cluster I had stamped hearts and mini paper aeroplanes to add more detail and interested to the layout, I thought the paper planes added a ‘flow’ round the layout from the top left photographs round to the left then back to the bottom right cluster. Inside the mobile shaker, I stamped and cut emoji faces and text speak rather than just including the usual sequins or small beads.
I love using hidden journalling on a layout, especially when I have lots to say and it’s particularly heartfelt. It’s a great place to pour feelings out that you might not want everyone to read and that’s okay because once it’s in a page protector not many people would realise it’s there!

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

What i have observed is that these days shearling leather jackets are trending in women winter fashion. For me its a life saver, it keeps me warm which is important and it is trendy which is way more important. LOL
i’ve recently purchased a sheepskin leather jacket from a website mauvetree.com , it is just piece of art, believe me!. after that my husband also ordered his shearling as well. they have a great collection of jackets. do have a look! here is my jacket <3 <3
