I learnt how to make this from Grace Tolman, one creative lady who has made lots of beautiful craft. You can get the how-to about the CD mini album here.

Here is my version:

The insert front.

The insert back.

The back cover.

The front cover.

I’ve used everything from the same line.. err.. I forgot to check on the craft paper label… it looks like my yellow bicycle.. not sure.. let me see if I can still recall it tonight and update it here.

Have you done any mini album lately? Share please..

Else, go get some empty CD cover and start having fun.

So far, this is my official first craft that I did in my new scrap space.

Happy scrapping!

Let me just assume that they are craft related.

Oh.. plus I’m still getting myself craft magazines. I hope it counts.

Not like I’m feeling guilty.. oh well.. ya.. I’m feeling guilty for not able to nurture my creative side during this time.

I wanted so much to keep up with my project life. I mean putting them all together in the album.

I wanted so much to have this camera – Fujifilm Instax camera (in pink of course)!

Saw it on offer in GroupOn:

It looks so attractive huh? Especially the part that I can get my photos printed in an instant what more it is just the right size for my Project Life album!!!

Take another look on it, it says only deliver to Peninsular Malaysia, which is almost 3 hours away by plane from here, okay.. forget it.. or maybe I should really start looking for it here locally.

Well… am dreaming.. and also maybe trying to look for excuses for not able to keep up with Project Life.

HELP!!

Another thing is, I’ve been so caught up (another excuse maybe) with work and kids. Now is their one-week school holiday, which should means more relax time, but hey, it is also means the best time to make them keep up with their study.. *sigh*.

HELP!

Okay, need to get to bed now.

That’s all. Have sent out all, hopefully they’ll love them. These cards are all lifted from other sites.. here and there.. one that I can remember is Kristina Werner. Thanks Kristina!

What’s your plan? Any flowers?

Well… no flowers for me.. hmm.. maybe dinner but definitely not candlelit dinner.. since will be with the kids.. hmm.. wonder where he’ll bring us all later.

Happy Valentine Day!!

I’ve also bought pockets from WeR Memory Keepers, but their pockets color is a bit blueish. Still, better than none, right? So, I’ll be officially out of pockets after 34 pages of pockets.

I find it difficult to stop myself or make myself say enough in embellishing each pockets. I keep on thinking that I haven’t done enough for that page. I keep on thinking if I should add more things like stamping, punch out butterflies and such.

Here is what I’ve done so far:

I try to make sense of those pockets and on how to arrange them in sequence. It so happened that I don’t have a photo for Day 5 (5th Jan), than I thought of my One Little Word and it is just nice to have some pockets for that word – BE. Yay!

I love Ali Edwards word stamps, so you can see a lot of her stamps on my pages.

I’m not so sure on how to embellish the “week” card.. it seems empty to me, but nevertheless, I’ll just let it be for now.

Another thing is I try to pull out all my stash looking for the right stickers and put them into my pages.

That’s all for week 1, yes, I’m way behind, it is already February and yet I’ve only started January pages.

Some on the process:

That’s all for now, am taking baby steps here.

Not talking about scrapbook, but instead about making bag! I’m so proud of it this time.

Something struck me from my last sewing project. Not that it struck me, but rather a sad news hit me, the lining that I’ve used got color run problem. Not sure if I’m using the right words here, but you know the dark color of the lining just stain the outer material after washed? Ya, that’s how sad! The cutie bag that I’ve made for my colleague is all stain with ugly orange color! If I knew I wouldn’t have even bought that material as lining!

Now, to make sure the color doesn’t run on those dark colored fabric that I’ve bought, I’ve washed them before sewing. Just had to do it and now I understand why certain hand-made shop specifically stated that their fabric has already pre-washed.

So, enough of being sad here. I’ve made myself a new bag:

Dar dah…!!

Just one thing that I wanted to change on this bag – the flower embellishment in front. I’ll alter it to be a clip instead of sewing on the bag.

Well, that’s it for now on a Sunday. Have a great Sunday!
