“You” layout

May 16, 2014Leave a comment

Weee!!! It is Friday!!! TGIF.. well.. actually today is nothing different from other days, but still I’m happy for those who are in the office. Your weekend will official start pretty soon!!

I’ve actually been trying to make a page that have that old grunge vintage look. I love both the clean look of the previous layout and this one that I’m going to share today. Sometimes I feel like I wanted to jam up the page with stuff, swirls, buttons, doilies, glittering stamp ink, embossing, and the old look of paper.

Thus, this page came out after seeing those happy photos of my kiddos smiling at the camera while enjoying their food. Love that feelings whenever I see them being happy.

you

Here are some closer look on the embellishment..

Always love Ali Edwards word stamp. They are a good reminder of the daily life, cherishing one another present, the love we share, the present moment and the positive thoughts that I should always be reminded of.

I’m using Basic Grey patterned papers, Prima pearl swirl, Martha Stewart’s butterfly punch, Kaiser Craft rhinestones, Melody Ross glass paperclips and Ali Edwards word stamps.

Hope to create a mini album for my recent Taiwan trip..

Happy scrapping!

Dessert time

It has been really hot these days.. the temperature shoot up to 35 degree Celcius! Fortunately rain came yesterday and it seems to cool down the earth a little bit.. It just made me appreciate the rain more..

Since it was hot hot hot.. a bowl of icy dessert really serve the day. So I did have it. But this time, I didn’t take any photo, instead I search back the old photos that I’ve taken previously in the same store – Justberrys – and make a layout from it.

Who can resist sweet dessert in a hot day huh!?

Some close-up of the layout:

Paper I used are mainly from Little Yellow bicycle and stuff from here and there including My Creative Scrappers kit.

Happy scrapping!

Journal type of scrap pages

March 17, 2014Leave a comment

Happy Monday!!

Haven’t been sharing about craft for such along time since my blog was down. Actually I haven’t been doing much on the scrapbook part. But hey, here is one that I’ve done recently concerning my last trip to Hong Kong end of last year.

There isn’t many photos that I’ve included in this journal type scrap pages. I’ve only included those that I love over that few days.

*Click on the image for a larger picture*

It was quick and fun using some misted doiles, chipboard sticker, pieces of papers from here and there.

Most importantly, my main point is to display photos that I like, with a simple records on where, who, what and when. There isn’t much journaling in there. I just wanted to get myself started back on with my scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by,

My December Daily for 2011 [photo heavy post]

December 31, 2011Leave a comment

I was actually hopping to build a mini album, but don’t think I’m going to do that next year. I’m definitely going to use a bigger album next year, at least 8×8″.
It turns out that it became bulkier each day and I was trying hard to squeeze things in this album. So happy that I’ve mini diary in my phone that I can write down the happenings of the day together with the photos. Another great thing is, I can edit my photos in the phone, have them in collage and only then sent them to process. That is one great way that I can put several photos in one page of this mini album.
I’ve actually run out of 6×6″ chipboard from the initial album size. So I’ve added up with large coaster and another tag mini album.
Here are the inside, with a few photos missing. Too lazy to shoot them again.

Am I going to do December Daily again next year?
Definitely YES!!

Now.. everyone is talking about new year resolution, the one little word, or the most like in 2011, or the achievement of 2011. I’m not going to go through all that now. But I think my one little word for next year is “BE”. Let’s just be.

Enjoy your last day of 2011.

I brought my angel home today

December 31, 2011Leave a comment

Using Creative Scrappers sketch #188.
I bought some angels on the 17th December, and have them placed on my entrance tables. So love the spirit or feel that they’ve created in my home and my heart.
Going to definitely believe more on angels and ask for their help in the coming year.
I so love the December kit from My Creative Scrapbook. That’s is what I’ve used for this layout.

I’ve finally took some photos of my December Daily, though it is not 100% done yet. Going to share about that in my next post.
Happy Saturday! The last Saturday of 2011.

December daily

December 19, 2011Leave a comment

It is already half way through December and I’ve just started to put together my December Daily.
I may need more chipboard pages for my album.
I also wanted to make those pages look like they have got a theme.
Doily is one thing that I’m sure to be using.
I wanted to try using glitter too.
I’ve recently bought a bottle of Mod Podge and now I’m using it like crazy. I almost use it on all my pages which I’ve put doily in!
I wanted to try glitter too.
Will take some photos when I’ve the right light for it.

Scrap-it-lah December Challenge

December 2, 20111 Comment

This will be the last challenge over at Scrap-it-lah. Sadly Chow-Chow (who started the blog with Jessy) would have to give this up for her other commitment in life. So, I guess this will also be my last layout for SIL.

This month, the challenge is: to include Multi-photo layout using Christmas photos (at least 3) or, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, photos from a similar celebration (no birthdays please!). Glitter or glimmer mist somewhere on your layout. Traditional Christmas colours of red/green/gold (compulsory), plus only ONE other colour OF YOUR CHOICE. (Both plain and printed papers are fine as long as you stick to the colours).

I’ve used glimmer mist on my doily and flower then also using glimmer pen to draw on the larger flower. Initial color of the flower is white.

My title is from glitter thicker. I’ve also stamp on my doily after misting them.

Here is another look on those cluster of flowers from Prima.

This year, we had our Christmas tree up early even before November ended.. This is all due to my son – Calvin who was so eager to put up the Christmas tree. So I’ve helped him to set up the tree and he hangs all t hose decoration all by himself! What a great kid. He is waiting for the time to open his presents and really a good test on his patient.

Have fun on this December and try out the challenge and create something memorable for yourself. Do check out what the rest of the DTs have done on this challenge.

Started to make Christmas cards

November 28, 2011Leave a comment

I know some of you have already made your Christmas cards and probably started to send them out by now.
I’ve just made mine and probably will make some more. These are the few patterns that I’ve in my production.
I’ve got a new Martha Stewart snowflake punch from Kuala Lumpur. Seen here are two different snowflakes, one is from MM Slice machine, and the other smaller one is from Martha Stewart.

I wanted to make if more meaningful, so I’ve used Ali Edwards stamp at the back of the card. Love the result.
Next thing is the December Daily’s album, which I haven’t started making yet.
Happy Monday!

Bottle Sling = Hands free feeding

November 18, 2011Leave a comment

Got his cute Bottle sling last week and only manage to get a feedback yesterday.

First look of it, it seems a bit short compare to what they are showing in their website – BottleSlings.com
The design is original and the pattern on the cloth is cute. That’s all I can say about it on first glance.

Well, since I don’t have little baby and my boys hold their bottle without any problem, I gave it to my colleague who is having a 6-month-old baby boy.
At first, my colleague couldn’t think of where to wrap the sling till I told her about car seat. She probably didn’t read the leaflet instructions.
So, once she tried it, she was so thankful for it. Her husband goes “Shiok juga nih, tak payah pegang.” It means, how nice no need to hold the bottle.
My colleague even said that her baby love the sling, ‘cos right after feeding, he started touching the sling, he must have love the flog pattern.
Just look at these cute photos from BottleSlings.com

How cute right? The good thing about this baby sling is that, the baby can push away the bottle at any time and it won’t chock the baby. What more it can fit in most bottles from small till big, plus it is washable.
This was started by a mom who had been travelling in long distance with her baby and there are lots of time that she find it hard to feed baby while driving, so the bottle sling came along and it solves her problem. With US$19.90, you can do your chores with both hands while baby is feeding on bottle! How nice is that!?
Check out Ruth Dorst website at bottleslings.com
I do salute her for being able to come up with this idea to make mom’s life easier.
Way to go Ruth!
