Advice for beginner that is ME

Don't worry that your pages aren't as fabulous as another persons yet. This should be a no guilt, stressless hobby. Do it all YOUR way. Learn as you go-- but don't stress. Start with 4 to 6 photos that are not life or death important. :) Accept the fact that your style will evolve. That's ok! Don't try to make the PERFECT page! Just aim to make a nice page! :)

Color wheel

Google pagi tadi untuk cari color wheel dan jumpa chart ni dari web http://www.rentaldecorating.com dan www.artsconnected.org

Chart ini sesuai untuk 'beginner scrapbooker ' yang buntu dalam memilih warna.

Cara untuk memilih warna seperti berikut :-

1. Mono-chromatic: Using one color (hue) throughout, utilizing that colors various tints, tones and shades. When using a mono-chromatic scheme using multiple textures creates character and maintains unity.

2. Complimentary: Using two colors (hues) that are opposites such as red and green or violet and yellow. Choose varying tints tones and shades which will give the bold dramatic effect you are looking for.

3. Analogous: Using three colors (hues) that are neighboring each other on the color wheel. These schemes can be warm or cool since colors are adjacent on the color wheel.

4. Triadic: Using three colors (hues) that are equal distance apart on the color wheel, such as red, yellow and blue or using secondary colors yellow-green, blue-violet, and red-orange.

TERMS TO KNOW

Hue: Another name for color

Tint: Color + White

Tone: Color + Grey

Shade: Color + Black

Value: The lightness or darkness of a color.

Chart ini hanyalah sebagai panduan, tiada salah dan betul dalam pemilihan warna terpulang kepada individu sendiri.

Basic

Kata seorang kawan dan mungkin ramai lagi yang berpendapat begini 'Scrapbook hobi yang mahal'. Tapi sebenarnya sebagai pengguna kita perlu bijak dalam memilih. Sebenarnya bahan asas untuk scrapbook terdapat di dalam rumah kita cuba check ada tak barang-barang ni dalam rumah
1. gunting
2. photo glue
3. gambar
Ada tak?
Ok kalau ada dan berminat untuk menyimpan memori/gambar untuk santapan generasi kita yang akan datang jom kita belajar macamana cara nak preserve memory ni .....semoga generasi kita dpt mengenali kita lagi walaupun kita sudah tiada. Macam Ida langsung tak tahu siapalah moyang dan asal-usus keturunan. Scrapbook pada Ida, mencipta sejarah untuk disimpan dan ditatap oleh generasi yang akan datang. Jangan tak percaya scrapbook ni memang addicted kalau dah start & terapi untuk diri sendiri. Kalau tak percaya cubalah sendiri!
Ok kita tunggu sesiapa berminat barulah kita mula...ok?

My little scrapping place...

Disinilah ruang menyimpan peralatan yang ada. Memandangkan masih baru cuma peralatan asas sahaja diperlukan. Kalau ada rezeki, mungkin akan bertambah lagi. Gambar 1st tu masa bulan December dan gambar 2nd tu baru ambil semalam....

My new craft punches

Malay vs English

Im not very sure what language should i post... but i think and decided next posting will be in Bahasa Melayu.....(as when needed both languages will be use) I dont want this blog be too formal though....

My scrapbooking history.

I have always scrapped. Maybe not in the terms it is thought of today but definetely if it means cutting, pasting, journaling and decorating. My work of art began during secondary school when friends asked me to create a page (mostly for them to put inside autographs).
But I only really started the 'real' scrapping with proper 12x12 papers last year December. I had no idea what to do or what to use, but just visiting the scrap shops with a deary friend Yasmin helped. Because of Yasmin I have better knowledge of scrapbooking. Slowly I been introduced by her a basic tools and technics.
Yasmin,
"I really appreciate you,Your helpful, giving ways,And how your generous heart Your unselfishness displays. I thank you for your kindness,I will not soon forget;You’re one of the nicest peopleI have ever met."

Just started this blog today!

Short and sweet....
Trying it out to see whats up. Might take me a while to get used to it.
So like I said short & sweet today just to try it.
