I’ve got it!!

Yes! I’ve got my Slice!! So cool! I know I know.. after trying it out and just couldn’t resist in using it to make a card out, I did this:

Yes, indeed, life is good! Have used up some scrap and did the dimensional flowers with gel medium, love it! Though I think the Pink Slice would be even better with hands-free function. Still, no regret!

Next I did this using the Scrapbook Deals 4U January kit, my belated kit actually, ‘cos it only came in a week ago, right before I have my holiday. So happy to have got it.

The photo was taken on the last day of 2009, one person is not in the photo is my brother. Yup, these are my sisters and parents, awesome, right!? Uh, and I’m loving that butterfly cut out using Slice. Am already thinking to get the other two Basic Elements design cards.. *grin*.

Uh, and I gotta find out where to get that oil absorbent piece of doily paper, just love it. There are in some other sizes too!
Oh ya, another great news, I’m having Internet connection at home now, yippie!!

Such a long time that I didn’t update my blog! Yes, it has been busy over here and I’m 90% cut off from the net as I don’t have a broadband connection at home, I’m with dial-up! Now that I got a chance to use the wi-fi around town, I get to update my blog now.

I’ve been trying to join in the fun for the Roses are red crop challenge over at Scrapbook Deals 4U, well, I only got 3 things done. Let’s just share about the layouts that I did through the challenge.
Firstly is a layout using their sketch by Kristine Davidson:

It is such an easy to follow sketch and the twist is we must have hearts in the layout. So here is what I came up with:

These are my real sisters, we do have some resemblance, right?
I ran out of vowel “e”, so I’ve use the negative space and manage to spell the word sisters in full.
Have cut out some heart shapes and make them pop too:

Another layout that I did is to create a layout base on the menu that we chose earlier on without knowing what are the requirements about. I came up with this layout base on the things that I’ve chosen: – Use metal embellishment (I’ve used heart brad), Solid red PP, my choice of photo, journal strips, some sort of paint (I’ve used crackle paint), and must include heart shapes:
Isn’t this little guy a cutie? Definitely a heart-breaker in the futere *LOL*.
A close-up on the heart shape using crackle paint:

Hope you also had fun in the Roses are red crop challenge.

Product used: Urban Lily die-cutting pp, Humbly print PP, Tim Holtz crackle paint and distressing tool, Fiskars border punchers, Scenic Route Loveland PP, BoBunny flutter butter PP, BoBunny buttons, some blings and ribbons.

“Be you. Find you. Be happy with that.” Got it from Elizabeth Kartchner’s blog.

I was going through my photos recently and found this photo that I’ve which I’ve scrapped a similar photo before, and I wanted so much to play with the piece of paper that I got from Old Town Cafe (not sure what to call it), so I came out with this layout (sorry for the blur photo):
That butterfly has been in my stash for a long time which I don’t dare to use it as it is just so bulky which I’m worried that it will dent my other pages. Anyhow I just used for this layout and have used foam adhesive behind it in order to protect my paper from the wire used in the butterfly.
Yup, a good reminder for myself on being me 😉
Product used: BoBunny Flutter Butter PP, Prima flowers, Urban Lily journal paper, Queen & Co. felt, Fiskar border punches and some old trim.

Truly madly deeply!

Not on me, but on game! Ha! That’s my son. He is really into playing computer games especially PBS kids. Seeing here, he is playing some solitair on my notebook. If he is able, he would spend the whole day in front of that notebook.
I did this layout by using the sketch #50 of Scrapbook Deals 4U, which I’ve flipped.


I run out of the letter “e” but I still have some other letter than can combine together to make an “e”, so this is what I did, using a “c”:
Clever!?

Go over to Scrapbook Deals 4U now to try out the sketch, there is a prize to be won.
Happy scrapping!

February challenge

2 Comments

I know I have some birthday photos around somewhere in the scrap area, maybe still inside the box, maybe it is jumbled up with something else, I just couldn’t find them! So, I’ve missed submitting my DT layout for Helen from Scrap a little February’s challenge. Bummer..

Anyway, head on over to Helen’s site to get some inspiration on the February challenge – which is to create a birthday layout with a twist to have number in the title, and do join in the fun.

Have fun peeps!

My love

Did a layout using the twisted sketch : I didn’t submit my entry to be included in their sisterhood, this is just out of fun after seeing the sketch and those inspiring layouts from the DT girls. Here is what I came up with:

I’m using those left over from my previous kits of Scrapbook Deals 4U since I still haven’t got my January kit *bu hoo…*
Seeing here is my cutie family taken on the last day of 2009.
I’ve used crackle paint on the trimmed flower. Initially I actually wanted to used the thick gel, but I love the mistake *LOL*.
Journal: Yes, my love, I learn new things each & everyday from you, about you and made me know more about myself too. Thanks for being you. I’m grateful that I have you. – mom & wife. Jan 2010.

Read about this while we had our vegetarian lunch yesterday: “Be grateful of everyone, everything and at every moment.” (Hope I’ve quoted it correctly). It makes me think, yes, really, we should be grateful of the things that we have and even those that we don’t have.

Happy scrapping!

I love the look of Calvin over here, just love that sweet genuine smile when I asked for photo session. Journaling is something that I’ve copied from Elizabeth Karthner’s blog, where she was quoting from someone: Calvin, you are loved, you are joy and many more. I would love you to be creative, be you, find you and be happy with that. luv, mom – 26th Jan 2010.
I’m using the left over from my Scrapbook Deal 4U Delight kit and those felt flowers from some other kit’s left over. I’ve used Prima packaging too, what a fun way to use up those stash.
Happy Scrapping!

Product used: Creative Imagination die-cut paper, Fancy Pants Delight PP, Prima package, Pink Paisley letter stickers, Making Memories tiny alpha stickers, BoBunny buttons, ric-rac and trim.

Where is my kit?

I’m really really sad now.. I’m still waiting for my January kit from Scrapbook Deals 4U. All those in the forum had already been playing with it and having so much fun creating gorgeous pages, and I’m here.. still waiting.. check on the mail everyday without fail.. still no where to be seen. I hope it is not being hijacked, or lost.. I hope eventually it will be here.

I wanted to do some sketches, and kept on thinking maybe I should wait for my kit to arrive, maybe I should just save these photos later.. till I can’t get my pages properly done. Seeing that today is not possible for me to get my kit, I hope I’ll get it on Monday. Yes, first thing on Monday.

I’m a guest designer in …

Creative scrappers! Yes! I’m so honor and happy to see my own layout in others’ site. Kristine has been designing lots and lots of great sketches and I’ve been a stalker for her sketches ever since I discovered it months ago. Her designer team are fabulous, they can always come up with layouts that are so inspiring. Go on, head on over to Creative Scrappers and try out sketch #87 yourself. I would love to see your interpretation of the sketch.

Here is my take for sketch #87:

And a close up of those flowers, learnt to do this from Scrapbook Deals 4U‘s forum.

Me and hubby were just playing with our camera’s self-timer when I went over to visit him last year. It was totally funny, just look at his face *LOL*
Product used: My Mind’s Eye bloom and grow kit from Scrapbook Deals 4U.

As for now, I’ve done yet another sketch from her – sketch #85. I get to scrap my son’s overly exhausted photos after playing computer games. He just fall flat while the computer was still on with his game half-way done.
Love her sketches and yup, definitely going to keep on following her blog.
Happy scrapping!
