Almost everyday

2 Comments
I was playing with the glimmer mist again! I wanted to do a simple page as instructed in the class of geography over in Scrapbook Deals 4U which should include some stitching, a non-scrap thing and with travel theme. So here is my take on the class:
Journal: Almost everyday we stopped by Uncles Alex’s home just because you wanted to play games on his computer. You’ll start by asking with a puppy face but if I say no you’ll start whining all the way home. So, almost everyday, we’ll stop by for at least half an hour.
One thing though, probably a little car is more suitable on where I’ve put the flowers…
Product used: Cream cardstock, Pink Paislee enchanting rub-on, Prima flowers, Making Memories tiny alpha MixedLedger, Delight Journaling sheets, Tattered angels’ auburn glimmer mist, sail boat charm, Pink Paislee letter stickers and some black felt swirl.

Just being me

Did this layout for Scrapbook Deals 4U cramfest horticulture class.

I’ve got this photo copied from hubby’s mobile phone which he took one day when we were over in LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) waiting to settle our income tax, I was busy thinking or doing something and wasn’t totally aware that he was going to take my picture. Thanks dear, else I won’t even have a photo of myself to scrap.
As for those flowers, the Petaloo Mulberry is from Scrapbook Deals 4U September Delight kit. I still have lots of those papers that I haven’t used in that kit. And I’m already ordering their October kit! Just can’t miss their lovely that put together by Martha. There are just so many yummy goodies inside, they are still selling it in the store, do grab one while you can.
Journal:
Being me is simple, who can be a better me than myself?
Being me is simply to love anything beautiful, scrapbooking,
craft, decoration, bright colours, vintage look, distressed look,
being love, being happy, donut, cupcake, gossip magazines,
Hollywood E! News, reality show, remodelling show,
Hong Kong modern series, surfing, blogging, day dreaming,
just relax and read my magazines, snuggle with my boys and do nothing,
go window shopping and buy nothing.
Really, Iā€™m just being me.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
Product used: Autumn Leaves Resplendent, Prima flowers, Petaloo Mulberry Street Flowers, Kaiser Craft Rhinestones, American Craft letter thickers, some trim and Prima flower package backing.

Birds of a feather

1 Comment

Instead I’ve used “birds of the same” feather as my title, didn’t spell out the word feather as I’ve already been using real feather on the layout. This is for a math’s challenge over in Scrapbook Deals 4U.
Have used some rhinestones and jewels on the chipboard and the pattern paper.

I’ve actually been wanting to scrap these two pages of my boys with their cousin, but there photos were kept in the envelope after being processed until this challenge. Thanks to challenges, else I’ll never get these photos scrap and even used up that big chipboard of peacock feather, and those feathers!
Product used: PP from Design by reminisce: Autumn afternoon; Basic Grey: Marrakech; Chatterbox: fabulous big star; Lily Bee: French couture; letter stickers for title from American Craft and Making Memories; chipboard from Basic Grey Marrakech; jewels and rhinestones from Prima and Kaiser Craft; some lace ribbon and distressing ink.

Fun, Love

I still think this page is lacking of something on the upper part of the page. Hmm.. probably I’ll add some bubbles somewhere…

Journal: Sharing {fun, love} & delight in simple things everyday!

This is actually for a challenge in Scrapbook Deals 4U as they are having a Cramfest there starting from this week. The challenge is to do a layout with any of the first 5 sketches available over in PageMaps for September, using 3 photos, combining journal and title together and use some punctuation in the title.
I’m using this sketch

Hmm.. some bubbles definitely need to be included.. will see how..

My boys were actually having some fun messing around with their hair in the bath while we were over in China.
TSL!

Product used: American craft letter thickers and stickers; Making Memories letter stickers, My Mind’s Eye Bloom & Grow PP; border punches from Fiskars.

This is quite a plan page for me ‘cos I haven’t got any journaling in the page, which I’m thinking to put strips of journal not on the left of the page. I did this page by following a sketch from pagemaps and have used mainly My Mind’s eye product from Scrapbook Deals 4u kit. I’m also entering this for the Scrap-it-lah September challenge.

I used my glimmer mist for the first time on the bracket sign turning it into auburn.
Here, Calvin looks way older than he is, buoy.. my boy is growing so fast!
TFL.
Product used: Core color cardstock, My Mind’s eye bloom & grow pp, daisy bucket beautiful rub-on, Tim Holtz distress ink, Tattered angels glimmer mist – auburn

For this layout I’m using Sketch #64 from Creative Scrappers. I’ve actually spent a lot of time thinking on what to use for the page, which pattern paper to use, which embellishment to use.. goodness, it has taken me more than 3 days to just think about that. How I wish I can just walk in a scrapbook store and get whatever that I think is needed for this page. However I managed to work with supply limitation and came out with this page.

Product used: Prima say it in crystals and Omements floraux; American Craft letter stickers; Scenic Route sumner die-cut; Lily Bee French couture; some ribbon.

Pox attack

1 Comment


Started in doing this layout days ago and only managed to get it done yesterday. To me the hardest part is to fill the empty space which I did with swirl stamps.

Another thing is to include 3 photos in this layout and I’ve hide away one photo behind the right photo. Now, there were all 3 of them who got the Chicken pox, both my boys and my hubby. The worst one is my hubby whose face is still filled with spots. These happened in June and July.

“First, it was Calvin who got the bugs, then Mervin, then KF, who got it real bad. The boys just had slight fever but not KF. there were spots on their faces and bodies but not as bad as DF’s. they were happy to stay home and put on Calamine lotion, but not KF. Thanks God that it wasn’t H1N1 and that KF was home when it started to get bad. – 2009”
Products used: Prima Moda Collection PP and Build-A-Swirl stamp, American Craft Fashion Accent and felt letter stickers, Making Memories Paparie journal pad, My Little Shoe Box letter stickers. All these from Scrapbook Deals 4U kit.

Celebrating love

Yup, this is a reminder for myself for I’m having two growing up kids, a hubby who is not so near physically and yet mentally here. This layout is for the rememberance of that and I wanted to keep this sweet memory of them while at play on the beach.
Am entering this for the Celebrating Love challenge over at Color Me Daisy.

In this layout, I’ve stamped on a tranparency and color it at the back. I did this on the umbrella stamp. It is fun!

Product used: PP from Prima Moda Collection – Lulu, Fancy Pants rub-on – the daily grind, American craft thickers, and chipboard stickers, Jilibean-soip PP – minestone, Glitz sparrow PP, Making Memories journal pade.

Oh! so fun

Yes, did a layout following the sketch challenge over in Scrapbook Deals 4U. I’ve been wanting to scrap these two photos of my boys taken in Tg. Aru. It is fun to have pictures such as these too. Probably there are better ways and funnier ways in shooting those round tube in the play ground.
First time ever to use that may bling in my layout, all in all 5 rhinestones šŸ˜€
Journal of course the fastest way is by hand writing šŸ˜‰
Journal: We don’t stay close to a play-ground, so you always look out for “play-ground fun”, as I always look out for “snap-shot fun”.
Product used: AC ribbon, letter thickers and PP. Moda rub-on. Jilibean-soup PP. My little shoebox sugar high chipboard alphabet. Fiskar border punch. Kaiser craft rhinestone. And ric-rac.

I think my creative mode is back working again but not in full swing. Still have so many things to worry and think about in my mind. Here is one that being done yesterday afternoon before heading off with the boys for a walk around the neighborhood, which later Mervin deleted all those photos I’ve taken of them. Real bummer huh!?

These photos were taken in Shenzhen, China. It has a really nice park there that is full of Lychee trees. The boys love to go there especially on a cool day. Wish I can do that more with them – walking in the park.

Will put in the product list tomorrow. Haven’t been using a lot of stuff here though. TFL.
