Scrapbooking and Papercrafting Goods!

Monday, May 7th, 2012

I did a lot of paper collage work when I was in college! It was just the easiest way to toss big blocks of colors, patterns, and textures around, like I love doing in digital works, translated into traditional media. I’ve never made a typical scrapbook, but there are SO MANY creative things you can do with these papers and tools!

Today’s post highlights Stuff4 again, this time their scrapbooking category!

42 Sheets/Pad All Occasion Glitter Paper Stack

I have this stack!! I used it quite a lot!

The bright colors and fun designs were just perfect for my art projects! ^o^

And everythinnnnng is better with glitter!

Martha Stewart Glitter Glue Set 24/Pkg

And just in case there isn’t enough glitter in your projects, you can always add your own!

Que Sera Sera Decorative Acetate Frames

The designs on these frames are so pretty. o^o

Frames aren’t limited to photographs! Imagine how some colorful art work would look behind these! ^o^

Wild Flowers Martha Stewart Punch-Around-The-Page Large Combo

When I worked at Jo Ann, I always admired how beautiful these punches could make the edge of your paper look, and I always wanted to buy some of the lacy ones like this one. o^o

Baby Boy Page Kit 12″X12″

Nursery stuff is always-always-ALWAYS adorable!!

You can use dimentional stickers on more than scrapbook pages! My laptop has glittery dimensional flowers on it. n_n

Cute Games Discovered! Free to Download!

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

I used to spend a lot of time playing games! I don’t have so much time for them any more. ;__; But I still like to hunt down good ones! Here’s a few that I’ve found – you can download them for free!

Download and Play Jessica’s Cupcake Cafe

Cupcakes!! They’re the best.

This one stood out to me over many of the others because the art style is so nice!!

It’s a time management game. :3

Download and Play Last Heroes 4

Oh man, mad nostalgia for my RPG Maker days right now. I think this game might even use the default portraits from RPG Maker VX? I’m not totally sure on that, though.

Anyway, this is apparently the last chapter of AN EPIC RPG ADVENTURE.

Download and Play CreaVures

This one doesn’t really meet the label of “cute,” but other words I’d use to describe it are “gorgeous,” “beautiful,” “imaginative,” and so forth.

CreaVures is absolutely one of the prettiest Shockwave games that I’ve seen. Gameplay-wise, it’s a sidescrolling platformer adventure. c:

Download and Play Alpha Kimori Great Doubt Episode One

Kimori is a fantasy world of giant mecha, anime babes, and more RPG Maker graphics.

There’s a screenshot showing off the characters’ battle sprites, and I think they look great! I might be putting some time toward playing this one quite a bit. n_n

Download and Play Rainbow Web 3

Any game with “rainbow” in the title immediately grabs my attention! This game has lovely graphics, to boot!

Rainbow Village is under attack from an evil spider and ONLY YOUR PUZZLE-SOLVING MATCHING SKILLS CAN SAVE THEm!!

My Melody Plush doll Stuffed toy 14″H

It would only be prudent to begin these kinds of posts with an adorable, fluffy plush of the mascot in question.

14 inches ain’t little! :O That’s a sizable plush right there.

My Melody Letter Set Stationery

Cute stationeryyyyyy!!

My OTHER ultimate weakness.

This letter set consists of pastel colors and cute handmade-looking stitches and embellishments (just printed on, actually – but still totally adorbz).

My Melody Lunch Box Food Container with Belt

Or “bento box,” as most of us are more familiar and perfectly comfortable calling it. XD

I want all of the world’s adorable bento boxes. o^o It would be incredibly easy to have all of your little bento accessories (oh, and food, too!) inside be Hello Kitty-themed as well.

Sanrio My Melody *RED & White Porcelain Teapot+2 Cups+Box Tea Party
