Quick & Easy Storage...

Hi, Mei Li Paperie fans! Eunyoung here, today with my favorite storage methods and how keeping them simple helps me create quick and easy layouts~

What's your favorite storage method? I've love using plastic moving baskets and clear plastic containers...

That way my storage method is focused on 'easy & quick ' for using.

Each moving basket is for ink, dies, clear stamp and so on. 

If I need a inkspray , I 'll just pull the moving basket which contains it over to my work area. That's all. : ) 

And all the little things (buttons, paperclips, chipshapes, wood veneers, brads and more) are kept in clear plastic containers. All within reach of my creative workspace, easy to see and ready to grab.  

Keeping my storage "quick & easy" helps my creativity flow better and my layouts come out in little time. Here is a "quick and easy" layout I just finished up, I even made it about my storage.. he he.

July Colour Challenge

Hello~ Mei Li Paperie fans..... Eunyoung here with the July colour challenge ~

I picked white & black as the main colors. (white is my favorite color!) 

I found each color gave me some feelings.... white  -> beautiful ,  black -> elegant & chic and the others -> sunshine & small petals

this colour pallette also made me imagine a scene that a ballerina was taking a rest.  : )

My layout 'be you' is a result by my this.

(this photo is one i took of my friend. she's not a ballerina, but she loves dance!!!!)

 tip : this fancy pants tags are so lovely! I picked a tag for journal and after cutting it I sewed it on the page by machine.  

(tag photos 1,2)

Introducing our wonderful July guest designer!

Happy Hong Kong day to our local friends and Happy Canada day to our Canadian friends! Its a public holiday here today to celebrate Hong Kong's national day... added bonus that it happens to be the same day as Canada day and so ends up being a very fun day for me as I am Canadian. So before I run out the door decked head to toe in red and white (also conveniently Hong Kongs colours!) I wanted to welcome our wonderful July guest designer Eunyoung Lee! 

Hi, Mei li Paperie's fans~ I’m Eunyoung Lee.( Eyoung Lee is used in online gallerys.)   

I live in Seoul , South Korea. I’m a single lady who loves to take photos and have a time with a cup of coffee… .   

Oh, a cup of coffee with big crema is 'a sweet present’ to me.  : ) 

My scrapbookings almost are about single ladys' life(with friends).  

When I was in Taiwan, I met sweet craft materials in a bookstore.

That’s the first time to know ‘card making'. It was a new fantastic world opening.  

Then my teacher had a birthday, I had plan to send my photos to her.   

So I made a custom tumbler with photos of my classmates.  (That I don't know what is scrapbooking.)

She was very happy to see the tumbler. I think that this tumbler was my first scrapbooking…!!! 

I hope that you enjoy my works & are inspired by them.... : ) 

You can find out more about Eunyong at her blog in English here or in Korean here she also has a fantastic instagram feed.. find her @emeraldradio
