*How to...* Scrapbooks

   Hi everyone! As I promised, I`m going to show some very easy and nice (I think) idea of a Christmas present. If I have to be honest, I really don`t like shopping and especially when I don`t know what to buy. So that`s why I prefer to make handmade presents. If you like this one you can make it it`s very easy and fast. And the best ting is, that you can always make it as you like. I learned it at one workshop which was organized in my school. I will show you the original one, too which is mine and than the new ones, made for my friends! :) Enjoy!



Time: approx. 15-25 minutes

What we need:
* paper 20x20 cm it has to be quad and as accurate as possible
* scissors
* glue
* pencil
* color papers
* sello tape
* ruler
* twine or ribbon or something like that
* decorative cutter, it`s not necessary but its nice with it or you can use anything for decorating. It depends only on you. :)





1. STEP:
  • So first of all you have to tag together the paper into a grating made of 16 quads. Try to do it as accurate as possible.. :)
2. STEP:
  • Now it`s time to cutting. Do it as it`s one the picture. You just cut the paper always from the other side.

3. STEP:
  • If you`ve already cut the paper, now it`s time for folding. I`m not sure if you`ll be able to understand the photo but at the end you should have something like "accordion".

4. STEP:

  • You`d better stick the twine. It`ll be fixed and you won`t have problems with it later. :)

  • And then you should stick the first "pages" so the twine will be hidden.

5. STEP:


  • Now it`s time for the more colorful part. :) Cut out the piece of colorful paper (you can choose a color) and it should be bigger than the scrapbook. Then, you can cut it to smaller.
  • Stick it on the paper because it will be harder and better. ;)
  • And now cut out it again. 

6. STEP:





  • Time for decorating! :)
  • You can put there anything you want. Just make your mind be creative! :)

7. STEP:

  • Use the glue for the whole colorful part and stick it on the white scrapbook.
  • Note: The cover should be bigger!!

8. STEP:

  • The last thing before the very end is to make a bow! :)
ALL DONE!
 Hope you like it! :)

✾ Believe in a miracle ✾

The strongest power!
   "The power of love. A force from above."

  This is not possible. Please, give the only one normal explanation why the hell, one week before Christmas the whole wonderfulness just disappear because of the higher temperature. WHY? I want snow... Do I want just so much? :( Oh, by the way, hi guys! I don`t know if you are in the same situation and if no, lucky you! On Friday we were having fun in the snow and now, all I can see are just some random dirty spots of snow in the garden. But you know, this happens each year. How can I have Christmas mood without the snow and cold weather?!  And like another big bonus, this week, because it`s the last week before holiday, I`m going o write about 5 tests! Like what the hell is happening!?! Please save me somebody!!!

    But luckily I have almost all my presents. I decided to make some handmade for my friends. And the other one are from Austria and that`s for my parents, brother (he is going to have B-day tomorrow, 23th) and some for my three friends, which are like their B-day presents. Yes, I`m late again. :) I want to show you the Tutorial for the handmade ones, but because I know my friends are reading this, so you have to wait until Friday of Thursday evening.. :) Everything is ready, just wait. :) I really like the idea and it`s very easy and fast to make. In one hour I made 5 of them.. :)
Already 16 windows opened. Yay! :)
Don`t worry I didn`t forget for another outfit. It`s from Tuesday when the whole everything was under the snow. I miss it. :( The photos were taken by Bernie. So thank you! :) And please don`t solve the white spots on my coat or sweater. My three idiots just love throwing snowballs.. :)

My hair are just big and never cooperating! :)



I love, love, love this song. It`s very nice and reminds me of wonderful past,  complicated present and mysterious future! :)
  So, see you this week, hopefully and fingers crossed for me. Thank you! :)

❁ Playing with the snow ❁

   "Trouble troublemaker, yeah. That's your middle name."

  Hi everyone! What a cold weather, isn`t it? At least in Slovakia is. Yesterday by my place was -9°C. But unfortunately since Thursday it wasn`t snowing. That`s not good, even when it`s cold, it`s nothing without the snow. This cold weather and especially the ice on the road has already brought sacrifice because on Friday I almost broke my arm and leg and almost caused another Concussion ( I had one when I was about 7 years old, maybe younger) But luckily I`m OK and have only very ugly, big and painful bruise on my elbow. :) So advise for you: Beware of the evil ice on the road! 

  Anyway I`m trying to survive the last two weeks of the school, but it`s very difficult especially for me, because I have big problem with concentration. I only think about the snow, snowboard, Christmas, relax, presents and plenty of another unsubstantial things.  I`m thinking about the presents for my friends. I have great idea of handmade presents, but I have to find time and material to make them. But I hope if I do them, they will be nice and my friends will like them. :) And are you still looking for some ideas for handmade Christmas presents? I can help you with this page, I chose from there some ideas myself. :)

Epic photo of my cat or photo of my epic cat? :)

Already 9 window opened. Yeah! :)
   Very, very good song. I like the lyrics, in some way it kinda reminds me. I`m a troublemaker, not very big but still some. :)

    Don`t worry I didn`t forget about an outfit! ;) It`s first one with the snowy background. You know, it was kinda difficult to took this photos, because guys were still throwing the snowballs on Micheska and me. But we enjoyed a lot of fun. The usual 5 minutes way to the bus stop took that day 25 minutes! :) I love my crazy friends. The last two photos are dedicated for them. Don`t solve the weird faces of guys, they just love to destroy photos! :)
  And massive thanks to Micheska, who took all those photos and her long time dream finally came true, because she always wanted to take photos of myself to my blog! :) Love ya!

The best!

Sorry for a bad quality. 
Outfit details: coat, gloves, gray tights- F&F; boots- Timberland (from Spartoo); scarf- Reserved; polo neck, sweater- ??? it`s from my London Collection. :) and the skirt is made by my mum. It`s blue, comfy and warm ~ ideal for cold weather! :)
  See you soon! ;)

☃ It`s comming... ☃

  "Cause best friends, best friends don't have to pretend. You need a hand, and I'm right there right beside you. You in the dark, I'll be the bright light to guide you..."

    Hi December, Hi guys, what a nice time have come, huh? I love winter and while I`m writing this, outside, the white snowflakes are quietly falling on the ground. Whole day I was in a Christmas mood and that`s only 2nd December. Today I lit the first Advent candle, opened the second window on my Advent calendar, ate the chocolate which was slowly melting in my mouth. The whole day i was expecting the snow, but it came in the evening. I can say, lucky me, because if it`d come earlier I wouldn`t be able to learn at all. :) And what about you, do you also already have Christmas mood? Do you open your "chocolate windows"? :)
We are never too old for Advent calendar... :)
   Now I only count down the days in the school and looking forward the snow, Christmas, snowboard, family, cakes and all those delicious meals my mum always cooks, the true Christmas atmosphere. I know that it`s only 2nd December but I can`t help myself I have to think about it.. :) The following photos are from the last November day. My Converse had their last year premiere. :)
PS: I have to thank to my sweetest Susan for taking the photos. Love you! :)



 I know it`s not  very actual song, but I just love it. And she is awesome, no matter what the others say, she is very talented and nice! :) An it`s here for another reason. This song has very nice lyrics and it`s for one person I really like and I can`t pretend to live without her.. :) Thank you for being!
