Flip and Fold Mini Album




Sometimes I find cards a little bit short of space for more messages, especially if it's aimed to be a group card. I just discovered that there can be a very creative way in putting together a group message in a fun little card without making it as big and bulky as an illustration board. Please see my video for the demonstration.


This can alternatively be a mini album to put in as big as 4x5 inch pictures or a gift card just like what I did. Please leave a comment if you wanted a tutorial on this.

I'm accepting orders for customized and bulk cards of this kind. If you have orders please comment on this and e-mail me at roxannevindal@yahoo.com :-)

Graham Balls Recipe



I recently tried this recipe from my office mate. It's super easy to do and ingredients are always available at your nearest grocery store. Not to discount on the taste, once you munched on one, you can't stop yourself. I've had my boyfriend taste my first try and he keeps asking : "Can I have just one more?"  :-)

Try making this amazing dessert! All you'll need are the following:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 2 packs of graham crackers or readily crushed graham crackers
  • powdered milk or some excess crushed grahams
  • marshmallows/chocolates

Procedures:

1. Prepare your ingredients. 
  • If you have were not able to find any crushed grahams, graham crackers should just be fine. I personally preferred this because you could choose the consistency/texture of the graham. What I did was I hand crushed the biscuits to make it into smaller pieces. 

  • Put the biscuits into the chopper or blender, either would be just fine. Grind it to make it powdery. Don't leave it too long, just the right texture such that there are no more bigger pieces left.

  • Prepare the crushed grahams along with the marshmallows and condensed milk.

2. Combine the crushed grahams with milk. Mix it in until the texture is even. The mixture should not be too sticky or else your graham balls will be very soft. Instead it should be firm. If you mixture turns out to be too sticky, just add more grahams. A wooden spoon is recommended for this step because the metal one tends to bend. You can also use your hands, it is makes mixing easier. Just make sore they are clean or use plastic gloves instead.


3. Add your flavors. You can put in marshmallows or chocolates. Nuts is also an option for nut lovers. Evenly mix it in with the grahams and milk.


4. Shape the mixture into small balls then roll it off to any excess crushed grahams or milk. Use your hands to shape the mixture into round circles just a little bit smaller than a ping pong ball. You can make at around 40 pieces of these graham balls with this proportion. Again, make sure that you have clean hands before doing this step or use plastic gloves instead.

5. Chill for 30 mins and enjoy! :-) 


I also take bulk orders of these since it was such a hit with my family :-) just e-mail roxannevindal@yahoo.com or text 09273541390

Infinity Card




I've recently made an infinity card. I saw a few tutorials on you-tube and  I was really excited to try it out. I've made a few changes to add more room and inserts for journaling and pictures. Please see the video below for the finished product. :-)
