Simple and Easy handmade scrapbook

Hi Folks !
 There is nothing much treasured like a handmade gift !! Here is a scrapbook I made for a dear friend of mine. I took close to just 5-6 hours in making this. Surprise your loved ones with your own hand crafted scrapbooks !! Happy Crafting :D

Here are some photos of the scrapbook








Things we will need : 
  1.  Black card stock paper or chart paper
  2.  2 Binder rings
  3.  Some colorful patter papers 
General layout of scrapbook : 
(I already gave this gift to my friend so i don't have exact measures of scrapbook. These are approximate dimensions)

We would need five black card stock papers of 28 x 18 cm. Fold through the blue lines as above. 

And take 2 black card stock papers of 15 x 18 each. 

Fold it through the blue line as above. And we can use this 2 sheets as front and back pages. In that   2 x 18 cm area of all the 7 pieces of paper you have, you can put 2 holes(like the blue circles) and bind all the 7 sheets you have with the binder rings. 
Now we can further decorate the pages with some pattern papers. I will link below the pattern paper I like to use most of the times for your reference.  Just cut some 12.5 x 17.5 sheets of different pattern papers and stick it to our scrapbook pages. 
There you have it, the base of our scrapbook :D

Decorating pages of scrapbook :
  1.  Cut two isosceles right triangles of side 2.5 cm, and a rectangle of size 10 x 16 cm from black card stock paper. You can stick those triangles to the scrapbook page as shown. Stick only on the sides, not at the longer/inner side of the triangle, so that it can act as a pocket to hold our   10 x 16 rectangle.    
  2. Heart flower card :                                                                                                                              Here we can use 16 x 16 card stock to make the heart flower card. Please find the tutorial in the link below Heart Flower Card for Scrapbook | DIY

I will update the rest of this tutorial soon :)

Life in the time of Covid 19 - One day at a time

Image
An introvert friend misses going to parties and an extrovert experiments on how to make million types of eggs in his kitchen.  A dad uses this as an opportunity to teach his son Indian mythological stories, whereas a mom tries to cook 30 freaking burgers as dinner to keep the kids entertained. One dreads the thought of staying at her home for a day more, and another doesn't want to get out of his house forever. That girl who chooses to curl up with a good book - hot coffee and be oblivious to the world, pines for human touch - a simple hold of hands. *cough* Me !!*cough*  Life has been funny lately. I am busy as a bee because of the exams, but I have all the time in the world when it comes to observing people. There are 2 sets of people in the world right now. Those who have been horribly affected by this pandemic - illness, death of a loved one, victims of loss of job or pay cut etc... I am terribly saddened by their stories and my heart goes out for their losses.  However,
