Hi everyone! 
I live in Tokyo, Japan.
 Also known as mai*
 I'm married to a professional violinist and together we have 2 adorable sons, 4 and 8 years old.
 I am currently working as a piano teacher to children at home.
 I started SB from March, 2009, and it has become my favorite hobby ever since.

Hi! My name is Kaori Fujimoto.
I  live in Japan with my  husband  and three children.
I worked as a veterinarian before marriage, I'm  currently  working on a   pathology study  of the animals  now.
I have been scrapping since 2006, as a diary and growth record of my children. I feel happiness when I  see the "diary" with my children.
I love to  add  dimension to a page. I often incorporate  patterned paper to cut out,  various kinds of embellishments, pop-up, several colors mist and ink,  on my page.
Thank you so much for inviting me ! I am  excited and honored to be a  Guest designer.


I have been scrapbooking since my daughter was born in 1999 and I have been married for 24 years to my high school sweetheart. My scrapbooks have really evolved over the years and If you saw my scrapbooks back then you'd have a hard time believing I'm the same person. I enjoy anything creative, I have a degree in interior design and I have been designing homes for over 15 years. I am currently exploring the challenging world of Photoshop and I love it. I come from a very artistic family, Sunday afternoons were often spent with my Dad doing every type of crafts imaginable, including painting my sneakers with an American flag design. I love scrapbooking and I can't imagine my life without it!



Happy Scrapping!!!

Hello everyone .. Time for me to give you another tutorial. You never can get enough Flower How too's and with that said I have a Sunflower to share with you...With fall here It just made me in the mood.If you do not have these punches you can used what you have at home maybe a daisy punch or your cricut.

Here is what you will need...

Now you are to punch out the following....
Star Lilly -12 of each petal (yellow)

Sun- 3 in brown
Birch leaf-4 in green
Ink all your petals in vintage Photo...
Posted Image
Then using the Stylus and mat, You will press down on the punch piece using the stylus in a circular motion to loosen the paper.

Do this to all the pieces...

Now using the highlander snowflake as the base,you will then glue the large petals all around then layer the second to largest over that offsetting between the petals...

Continue with the rest of the petals and then add the sun by layering them in each other and glueing in the center.. now add the leaves to your liking..
