Ribbon will not fray if…

2 Comments
Yupe.. I’ve a little tips here.. share without any photo.. too bad 😦
I use ribbons in my scrapbook projects and I always here people said you’ll need to either wrap it around the corner of the photos or the page in order not to let it fray, or another way is to cut it slightly angled.
Well.. I have a little tips for having the ribbon and not fray, so you can actually cut it straight and just adhere it anywhere you want. You ready?
Here goes.. all you need to do is to burn it a little bit, or should I say melt it a little bit on the end by using lighter. Yupe, once the ribbon is melted, they will stick together and not fray.. that simple, try it.
Happy scrapbooking!

No photo can be uploaded again

I’m so sad.. I’ve done some pages and yet I can’t show them here. My phone is not cooperating with me again. I’ve actually done a two page layout of Cal having his first flight to Sri Lanka years ago. I was even more worried than him. Afraid that he’ll cry all along the journey, disturbing other passengers on board, run away from my sight.. etc.. just like a normal mom would worried over their kids on a long distance journey, if you know what I mean.
However, despite all these worries that I had in mind, we went through the flight in a bliss.. well.. not totally a bliss, but at least he didn’t cry, at least he didn’t complaint about air pressure in his ear, at least we made it through and landed in Sri Lanka safely. oh.. you might be asking why Sri Lanka. Well.. simply because hubby used to work there before and we went over to visit him.

As for last night, I’ve started scrap lift a layout from scrapbook.etc on paper piercing, will use this for the Itty Bitty Scrap Shack challenge for “Love of my life”. I wanted so much to show them here, a preview maybe.. just too bad.. I hope the crazy phone is back to normal working mode again for me to upload my photo. I really need a new digicam.

Good news is, by Friday, I’ll have the digicam with me again… yay!!

Have to run twice

My mistakes really.. I need to go back to the same place again today just because I thought they said they can get the specs ready by yesterday. To my mom, it is a matter of life and death (not really :D) situation since she is cleaning up the house for Chinese New Year, she needed her glasses badly. What happened was that since she went to the farm often and sweat a lot, her glasses actually look like being sand ‘cos she rub them using her clothes! Can you imagine that? With the sweat that she has and the dust that stick to her shirt and yet she is using that to rub on her glasses, tyring to make it clear again? Oh well.. it didn’t make it clearer but the other way round. Another thing is that since she wear her glasses to the farm, the sweat basically ruin the glasses faster than anyone of us who sits in the office with air-con. I’m not saying that you can rub your glasses with any clothes, that would really damage it. So her old glasses really in a bad condition, that’s why she is getting a new one.
When I step in to the store.. I was eyeing for promotion or those with a reasonable price but I don’t think it can be compared to this.. Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case! That is like RM26 for a pair of glasses! Even if it is only the frame, it would worth it already, where can you get in Kota Kinabalu?
The thing is, this Zenni optical provide or sell only their own manufactured frames directly to the customer! Which means they don’t have middlemen. How great it that!? That’s why the price is so low.
Well, anyway, I only found out today about Zenni and my mom already got her glasses proscribed on last Saturday. But she specifically stated that she doesn’t want plastic frame cos she is afraid that they would touched on her chin and she’ll be irritated by that. Something like this one: (I like this one actully.. ‘cos I have glassed like this before :D)

Come to think of it, I don’t think I have a photo that my mom is wearing her glasses ‘cos she only does that when she is reading or really needed to see things clearly like watching her 6 o’clock Taiwanese series.
So scrap my mom in her glasses will be another project for me 😀

Want to use these photos

1 Comment
I’ve just loaded some old photos from my phone to my PC, so I discovered some cute photos, although they are not so clear, but I love them and I haven’t scrap about them yet, so maybe I’ll use them for my next project.
As for my previous project that I’ve set out to do, i.e. to transfer all my Australian trip photos from the magnetic album to photo safe album, which I’ve just finished last night, double yay for that. Since I’m using Creative Memories album with black pages, I kind of limiting myself for using pattern paper as the background and also limiting myself to use too much of embellishment which will bulge the page, so that was a fast project to finish. Well.. I was kind of lazy too as I’ve already arrange that album in my magnetic before.. so nothing new. Will show some snapshot here in my future posting.
As for now.. let me show you those photos that I would really love to scrap.

Wish me luck

New opportunity

4 Comments

Well.. since I’m still consider myself a newbie in scrapbooking, I consider myself a newbie in blogging too, especially when coming down to talk about earning by blogging. I have no clue at all when I first started this blog. It was just out of fun and also to use it as a tool to remind myself about my daily life with my kids and hoping to improve as a mother, you know the kind that is loving enough not to spank them 😀 but I guess I’ll still need to work on that.
Talking about earning by blogging, I just recently signed up with payperpost after finding it out from a an ex-colleague who had been very helpful in guiding me.

I’m already start dreaming on what will I do with all the money that I earn!! Yupe.. day dreaming now.. let me see.. first.. I’ll get myself more scrapbooking things of course!! Secondly.. will get myself a spa or massage treatment .. well the list can go on.
Let’s talk about what I want to get for my scrapbooking. What I’m lacking now is more papers, include cardstock and pattern papers, next is album, the next are the tools in cutting such as oval shape, paper puncher, paper trimmer, again the list can go on..

I’m already telling friends and family about blogging same like I’m telling them about scrapbooking and the fun that I’m having. I’m getting my niece to be interested in blogging just so that it can help her out in her study, ya.. study.. I mean, if she can earn by blogging, this would help her out in paying her school fees and in a way will improve her writing skills. At the same time, asking her help to introduce my site to her friends.
So, folks, get into the mood of scrapping and also blogging!


Scrapbook challenges

Leave a comment

cScrapbooking challenges are fun. Before this, I thought to myself, well.. I’m not even a pro in doing scrapbooking yet.. why want to join in any challenges. When I first found out about what really are challenges in scrabook.etc magazine on my pool fun LO, to my surprise, I love it once I’m into it. It actually give me a guide on what I should use or do in my page in order to join in the fun.
Sometimes I just can’t start a page without some limitation.. the creativity part is just too wide especially when coming down to choosing my pattern papers and the most basic one – Layout, what scrappers call LO. So if there is some guidelines or I call it limitation that set out in the challenge, it would help me to start thinking on that line, also start to be creative on that line too. The fun part is to share with others my work and get lots of comments from people. I did it in scrapbook.com, which is really a nice place to be with all those that having the same interest with me. Another site that I love to check out is ScrapScene which updated me with all the latest things that is happening in the scrapping world.
Just recently, Itty bitty Scrap Shack is holding a challenge on “Get in the mood for love!“.

Got this from their site:
Here are the details: Create a layout (12×12 or 8 1/2 x 11) about the love(s) of your life. Maybe it’s a person, maybe a place, animals, etc. Whatever you love, we want to see it!

The LO that my sister loves

Leave a comment

I haven’t got any photo of my son on his first day at school, the only one that I have so far is taken by my sister when Cal is over in her house after school. Where were I? Well… I went off to fetch my 2nd son from school and guess what.. during that time, they had a great time, I mean Cal and his cousin, they had shower fun! They can’t do it in my mom’s place ‘cos we don’t have a shower head, they always had a bath but we still call it shower anyway – one that without the head.
When Cal and Rod is having a good time in the shower room, obviously taking longer than they should with all those splash of water, my sis grab her digicam and snap them. Not many that she took though, her reason is she doesn’t wanna take the whole body, and since the room is small, she’ll have to use her untrained photo skills to take these gorgeous photos.
So, I’ve scrap it..
Love to see their expressions in these photos, really show how much they enjoy the shower. I wish my sis got more photos on this. Now it is being displayed in my scrap area, just feel that I should show it off and enjoy it first before I put it into my album.
This is actually done at the back of “3 rascals”. So I can’t poke any hole in this LO too, all embellishments are being attached with zots and glue.

Chinese new year is coming

Leave a comment

Ya.. pretty soon, Chinese new year will be here.. the year of rat is coming.. another new year for us Chinese… and I still haven’t shop for clothes for my boys.. oh dear.. wish I can do it online using any online shop which offer fast delivery service maybe plus with a trustworthy shopping cart system and is hassle free.
Sometimes I wish I can just like “Bewitch”, with the twist of my nose and I get everything in hand, including nicely matched clothes for myself.
Well.. at least one thing I’ve done to welcoming the new year.. got my hair permed, well.. not like Gabriella in High School Musical that I talked about in my other blog, but as “si lai” as my hubby puts it.
Coming back about this shopping things.. hmm.. how I wish.. I have a butler to do all those choosing things, provided he/she really knows what I want 😉
For those of you who is doing online business, try out ashop.com.au to get a trustworthy online cart to get more clients first.. and let me know.. so I can visit your online store one day.. have a butler service even better…
