I came across this video on a photo frame that is nicely decorated with very Victorian vintage embellishments that are mostly handmade. What I like about her creation is the use of materials that is readily available. Check out this video and tell me what you think.

For paper crafter, it is very common to accumulate a bunch of scrap and not knowing what to do with them.

When I started Scrapbooking a few years ago, I attended a basic class and was introduced to different materials used in Scrapbooking and similarly for cardmaking.
