Bed-time story

June 1, 2010February 7, 20187 Comments

Last night was different.
Every night the boys wanted me to read them a story or two, normally two, right before bed-time. But last night, Cal found my 25 days till Christmas booklet that I did in 2009, so they wanted to much for me to read to them what I’ve written on those pages with their photos on. They got excited and so interested on what had happened on those days.

I’ve actually missed out some day without any journaling and photo! Ali did amazingly good on this.
Now, I wanted so much to do Ali’s week in the life story book.
Now.. let see.. when should I get started…hmm…

A lift from Susan W.

To me, Studio Calico kit is not easy to use. Some of the pattern paper mix very well.. and some just have to use moderately, that’s what I discovered over at their designer team. They all have their personality and different ways in using the kit, but somehow I feel that their end results are very fun to look at and some are really refreshing.

I’ve actually lifted one of the layout from Susan Weinroth – No hippos

Isn’t her layout cute! and simple, right? Just love it!

So, here, my mom and my niece during a belated mother’s day celebration.

I love the simple clear design of this layout, it is very straight forward, not much of fancy fancy embellishment or cutting. Just love the way it is.

I think I’m going to lift more of her layouts 😀 Thanks Susan!
Product used: Studio Calico May’s kit.

Wonder

May 28, 20103 Comments

Hmm.. this photo looks over expose ‘cos I took it outside right under the sun. Hmm… still lots to learn about photography. Anyway, this layout is using Studio Calico’s sketch and kit. As for the color inspiration is from Color Room Palette 7.

The word wonder is die-cut using Slice basic element card #1.

Those butterflies are cut using Martha Stewart’s punches.

As for the photo, it was taken one evening.

We are having a long weekend holiday here starting from today till next week Tuesday!

Happy holiday for us here! Yippie!!

Full reveal

Okay, since I haven't sent this card out yet and since I'm not sure who to send it to, I'm going to just reveal it anyway, 'cos I might just forgot to reveal it later.

I actually love this card and enjoy looking at it when I got it done. Ha!

oh ya.. I have another thing to share here. It is a bag that I've made for my niece who always got more books or exercise books to carry, so she needed an extra bag and she loves green. So, with some left over scrapbook felt in the autumn theme and a little birdie, I've made this from fabric that I got from the curtain shop:

I've even made a pocket inside:

Well, this look fun and it is easy to make, maybe.. just maybe I'll make two more for the boys.

Sneak peek

Here is a sneak of the card that I’ve made using Prima’s flower, some twine from Studio Calico, Cosmo Cricket paper pack, Martha Stewart’s punch, oh, and those glitter flower stickers (forgot to get down their names).

Yupe, can’t show the whole card right now, ‘cos I haven’t sent it out yet.

How is your Saturday so far? Mine involves lots of driving. First I drove the boys for art class at 2pm, but when I reach there, there were still sleeping, and I just can’t get Calvin to wake up! He is like a log! Ha! So I had to put forward their class till 4:30 and I had to drive all the way home to sleep, ‘cos I myself were sleepy too. So we all sleep in for about an hour. But Mervin wasn’t doing that. After his bottle of milk, he got up and wanted to play some games in the computer. Okay, if he is alone, he is fine, no one to poke his back or argue with him. It would be otherwise if Calvin was awake. I can alway hear him yell out to mommy.

So I suppose they are in their art class enjoying themselves now.

Color Room sketch

So far, I haven’t play in the Color Room yet.. this is one that I’m using their sketch instead of their color pallette. See those butterflies? (Again ;))

This is my DS learning how to make sushi during a class that I’ve enrolled him and my 2nd DS. He totally love it and now wanted to have sushi one a while.

Got the pinwheel idea in the Scrapbook Deals 4U forum. Fun thing to make.

Product used: left over of all scrapbook deals 4u kits, Scenic Route kit from Helen (scrap-a-little), and those Kaiser craft pearls and gems that I got from Scrap-n-Crop.

Old home layout

I really love the two Martha Steward’s butterfly punches that I got recently from Studio Calico, I kept on punching them on those scrap or left over pieces of PP! So, now I have a pack of punched out butterflies ready to be used. Here is a sneak of what I’ve done using the butterfly punch. Can’t show the whole card before the recipient get it, right? 😉

As for the layout, seeing butterflies again. Here is the old home of hubby where he spent most of her childhood time. I didn’t hear lots of sweet memory about this house though, and I’m not so sure what to write in the journaling area on the right of the layout, thus I’m leaving it blank at the moment.

Edited: This page is actually using the sketch from Sketchy Thursday.

Here is a close-up of those butterflies:

And those Prima flowers:

Happy Scrapping!

Product used: (Card) Cosmo Cricket paper pack (Free from Scrap-n-crop for purchase above RM200)

Finally did one LO

Ya! After the long silent from doing any layout, here is one that I just did today using Scrapbook Deals 4U April shower kit. Love the kit, Martha always got great kit every month! Sometimes it is hard to choose from the 3 choices that she is giving.

Using Pencil Lines sketch 186 for this layout of my son “Silly You”. Yes, this boy always try to be funny and try to make his friends laugh. Here he was trying on the goggles” that the welder was using.

The butterfly came with the kit which I’ve embellished with some rhine stone (with the kit too).

The only thing that is not from the kit is the journal spot which is from Scenic Route. That is the left over (negative) which I’ve adhere on a piece of misted and stamped paper.

If you are looking for some challenges and inspiration, Scrapbook Deals 4U is offering much of that and I always get pushed to do something with my kit for the challenges.

Happy scrapping!

Haha! Fun! I’ve done a page just by following some simple instructions from Lady Grace over at Scrapbook Nook, have a glimpse of the page here. This is what I came up with. I wish I have the kite in LG’s page. It is so cute!
This is the page that I did using Scrapbook Deals 4U April shower’s kit, which is filled with Quite Contrary paper line.
