Pretty

Leave a comment

Hmm.. I’m getting more productive with my new scrap space! *LOL* And I managed to use my stash of old stuff too. Some from Scrapbook Deals 4U kits, some Pattern Papers and supplies bought from Scrap-n-crop, using a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. Yes, I’m drawing in ideas and inspiration from here and there.

This layout has completed with journal, but I took the photo before I wrote anything there. These are my cousins, pretty cousins *grin*. Even my sons sometimes mistaken them as their cousins *LOL*.


I did a butterfly using techniques thought in the Scrapbook Nook forum, which used mist, stamp and crackle paint. But my crackle paint is not here yet and I just can’t wait for it to finish this layout, so I’ve used glossy medium instead.

I thank you all for leaving comments on my site, really appreciate it. I hope I do give some, well, maybe a little inspiration here and there for you all.
Happy Scrapping! And Happy Weekend!

Yes, this is my first LO of the year! *LOL* and I did it on the floor ‘cos at that time I don’t even have a table in my scrap room. Yes, I’m claiming that room to be my scrap room during when hubby haven’t decided what to do with it, he he…
Nothing much of a technique that I use in the layout, it is just to cure my thirst of creating, I’m using Creative Scrapper’s sketch #86.

Journal goes in later. Happy Scrapping!

Challenge over at Scrap-a-little

2 Comments

Yupe, I’m honor and excited to be one of the DT in Scrap-a-little. Helen is doing the first challenge over the site. It is about using Pink, Brown and Blue in the layout, with a little twist – use the word “NEW”. I would be fun to see what you all come up with, so head on over to Scrap-a-little and join in the fun!

Here is my take for the challenge:
It is about my son’s graduation from kindergarten. My little boy has grown up to be a little man and he has so many friends who wants to be in the picture that I was having difficulty to include them all in this layout, thanks to smaller print that I’m able to do that.
I have made two popsicle flowers using round puncher and those flower pearls and Prima flower on top.

So, have fun!

How was your Christmas going? Mine was busy busy busy, not about baking, not about wrapping presents but about wrapping things up to move and looking for things for the house, so time flies by quickly and soon it will be new year, and when come new year I’ve new assignment to do and it will be an exciting one.

First let me share a sneak on the upcoming layout that I’m going to post about and this seems to be my first sneak peek into my layout.

I just can’t wait to post my layout here but just not yet. It will have to be after Helen in Scrap-a-little post up the challenge over her site then only I can post my layout here. It is a layout that I did for the upcoming challenge over Scrap-a-little. So stay tune peeps.

No I haven’t

Yes, I haven’t been keeping up-to-date with my “25 days till Christmas”. Been busy sweeping and cleaning the house that was full of dust, in preparation to move in soon. Yes, there was so much dust on the floor and on the wall, on those sockets, switches, toilets, goodness, seems like never ending kind of cleaning work. However I think it will worth it at the end, ‘cos it is my soon-to-be home anyway.

It is still empty and have just one sofa set there, nothing else other than the mop and plastic chairs that I’ve got. Oh, and those cleaning detergent and bleach. Definitely needed those.
I’m still going to be busy and hopefully will do some layout about the new house in January when everything has settle down.
Now, I’ve got one layout to share, one that is using Sketch 175 from Scrapbook Challenge, a song challenge over in Scrapbook deals 4U and some recipe from Scrap-it-lah!
The handmade embellishment are those cute ribbon flowers with buttons and am using the song by Will Smith – Just the two of us as the title and have quote from the song – “Just the two of us, we can make it if we try.” Which to me is it true for me and hubby. Nothing comes easy, we need to put effort into all we do, even the day to day communication.
Have a blessed day!
Product used: My mind’s eye bloom & grow PP; Jilibean letter stickers; American craft sticker; some ribbon and ink.

Creative Scrappers and SD4U challenge

2 Comments
Ha! I’m trying to kill two birds with one stone, and yet really, they are two totally different kind of birds, one is using a sketch and the other is to do a layout base on two conditions: using at least 2 photos and a title that is anything but horizontal. What I mean is a sketch base on Creative Scrappers sketch #81 and Nicole December Challenge over in Scrapbook Deals 4U.

If you go over to the two places, you’ll find even more inspirations from the sketch and the challenge, so go have some fun!

Here is my take:
Photos taken inside a sport shops over in China while me and hubby were doing some shopping. Since there is no winter at home, so I wouldn’t have those chances to wear on any winter hat gear, so I tried out their cute hat and another is a sport hat which also I won’t be wearing in normal day. Cute huh?

I’ve used some gel gloss on those hand cut flowers from the BoBunny Patter paper and make them shinny and harder a bit. I’m using Golden Gel Medium. I’m also using it to glue another piece of paper beneath the flower before rolling the pedals to make them 3-D. Another alternative is to use glue stick.
Those swirls are also from the same PP of the flowers, I love how the page turn out and am really glad that at least I’ve used this pink scallop cardstock that I got ages ago!
Hope you’ll have a happy week ahead!
Product used: Bo Bunny Delilah PP, Golden Gel Medium, Fiskars scallop border punch, ops, I forgot what company is the pink love pp.

My random thoughts

Leave a comment

Thought I should just jot down thoughts that I have during the day concerning Christmas, so here is for

25 Days till Christmas, Day 9 and 10:
– Time to share, be joyful, noel and stay peaceful.

– Should make it a point to forgive in this festive season.
(Whatever that I was thinking, these came into mind and thus these will be in my note.)

Day 11: Today our office celebrated Christmas way early. Like usual we have gift exchange and lunch together. The fun part of course is the gift exchange. We’ll pick a name in the beginning of the month then get to prepare the gift secretly till today if we choose to review it. Even though that we are all belongs to different religion and believes, but we get to celebrate the joy of giving together.

I’m missing out day 8, never mind, there is no rule for this journal anyway.

Hope you have a weekend that you can look forward to.

Those kits from Scrapbook Deals 4U are just awesome! I’ve been using it to make pages and pages and still I have left over from previous kits. Since I’m not buying their December kit, ‘cos I’m saving for something else ;), so I am still using their November kit, and don’t be surprise to see even earlier kit showing here.

The one below is for a sketch challenge over the SD4U forum using Kristine D‘s sketch. You can read about the challenge here.

There, my take for the challenge, which I’ve tilted the sketch and just used one BoBunny Flutter Butter PP for this layout plus some left over of the same line scrap.

I don’t even need to think of what to write for my boys, the quote that came together with the kit are just nice as their advice. And I think this lollipop flowers are appearing more and more in my layout lately, plus those distressing look. I think I’ve fallen in love with them. hehe..
Oh ya.. I’ve used those newly acquired glimmer mist from Tattered Angel. Though it is not that obvious, but the mist is definitely there at the back.
Another thing that I love is the Fiskars border punch that I bought from Scrap-n-crop, just awesome, there are so many possibilities in using it. This is one of it – as border strip.
Thanks for dropping by and do leave me some comments, love to read them.

25 days till Christmas, Day 4-7:
– Have been over to Chinese during these few days. Met up with hubby, eat eat and eat!

– I have put up the Christmas tree with the boys the night before and nothing else being decorated. Am thinking to decorate our new house later but the plan now is to move on 25th, so I’m not sure if I have the time to do any decoration at all.
-At least I get to snap some nice decoration pics while over in China a some snap shots of us using self-timer (not going to share it here).

Thanks for dropping by and happy scrapping!
