Click image above for a zoom view of the card. You’ve seen a lot of flourishes on scrapbook pages, but did you know you could also add that extra touch by including them as a design piece to your card creations? Flourish designs come in several shapes, ways and sizes. You can find them in [...]

Scrap CLEAR: You have NOTHING to hide!
ScrapScene’s Scrap Clear Challenge excited me immensely. The idea of being able to scrap onto something that does not hide anything was something new to me. I sometimes hide a lot of my mistakes behind a matting or embellishment or simply make a layout more interesting with the proper combination of colors for cut-ups and [...]

As webmaster of MSW, I make it a point to check the web for any sites that links back to us. It’s much easier if websites don’t just post a link-back but actually paste the MSW button or the MSW blog widget. The entire exercise is never a chore but is always considered a rewarding [...]
The View From Mars
Scrappers share an instant affinity with one another. When one says she can’t sleep because she just got to have a scrapping tool, we all understand. When another says she just overshot her scrapping budget, we agree and say we know how difficult it is to stick to budgets. When another confesses to neglecting hubby [...]
DDD (3D): Donna (Espiritu) Does a “Double!”
Donna Espiritu did it twice in a row for 3Bugs in a Rug (3BIAR) Scrapping Challenge. She won twice, consecutively. Donna won Memory Lane’s first 3BIAR challenge last March 2007. She also did it twice too for this recent MSW webupload – we announced three challenges and she won two! She bagged both the 3BIAR [...]
HP photo smart
We simply got to thank Hewlett Packard (HP) for giving away an HP PHotoSmart during the recently concluded ScrapMeet TWO (and thank scrapper Mel Dominguez who made it all possible on such short notice!). It was so generous of HP to print our pictures right on the spot using the PhotoSmart 325 Photo Printer (fantastic [...]
Shaker Box
Some people have that gift of saying just the right words at just the right time that makes all the difference between having a bad day to just have a very trying one. Me? I’d rather call it a blessing because there are truly just a few who can turn your bad day into a [...]
Camera Phones: Shooting from the hip!
Paten is currently on a European tour by herself for a month or so (she just felt like it daw) while Ernie is busy with commissioned foodshots with a large food corporation. Me, with my very limited, functional knowledge of photography had been left by my lonesome to fend for this column. This is what [...]
Cool Dad: Trashbin Raid + Card Project
I have such a deep respect for our TrashBin Raider and our Card-Ologist that I made a project that combines both their “art” — saving something headed for the trash and making a card to go with it. Expect the columns of Jozzie Wilhelm and Airees Rondain in the next website update. I am a [...]
Scrap-Searching WHERE It Matters: HERE!
(Continued from the Homepage) Problems lie when we are forced to visit all the websites of all the local scrapbook retailers on a regular basis. Even when we can’t afford the time at a particular moment. Even if we would just like to have some quick information about a particular item. This translates to two [...]
