Cards cards cards

Done 3 cards last night, two are for challengs, maybe will put all in my Etsy shop.
One card is for Coconut Scrapshop August card challenge which need to use chipboard, another one is a sketch challenge in 2sketch4u.

The one below is for Coconut Scrapshop August card challenge. I’ve used star chipboard from Maya Road and swirl brad from HOTP.


This one below is for the sketch challenge in 2sketch4u. I’ve used all pattern paper, tag, flower and ribbon from HOTP Personal Shopper Chirstmas Kit. The flower brad is from Making Memories. Probably will put this one up for sale in my Etsy shop before Christmas.

As for this one below, I was playing with my stamp set that I’ve just received from Scrap-n-Crop yesterday. I was so happy to get it together with my heating tool, and embossing powder that I play with them right away! I’ve used all things from HOTP Personal Shopper Kit too, except the white flower is from Prima and flower brad from Making Memories. This one will definitely be up in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

More LO

2 Comments
First one is created for Cal’s school sport day on 7th August. He didn’t join much of the game, only one. I was a bit dissappointed, maybe next year he’ll get to join more things. I want to see how well can he be in the team. This time, he did quite well actually.

I wanted to use up all the paper from Coconut Scrapshop July’s kit. Eventhough it is Scenic Road Liberty line paper, I still can use it for non National day layout. I managed to do 2 layout using that kit again.

As for this one below, I’m using the other half of Making Memories PP which I’ve used in “Yummy yum…”. It is a scraplift from Scrapbooks.etc magazine. I’ve mix lots of other things in this LO, just thought that they are nice in the LO.

Thanks for looking!

A birthday and challenge

Leave a comment
Yup, I used for both! I did one card, put it online for the color combo challenge in Coconut Scrapshop, killing two birds with one stone.

I hope both the birthday girl and the forum board love my card.

I’m actually waiting for my August Coconut Scrapshop kit so that I can do the color combo challenge by using that kit, but it is no where near my eye sight. Same goes to my Personal Shopper Stamp Only! Kit which I’m suppose to get it last month! Fortunately kind Debbie in Personal Shopper is sending me another stamp set with the bulletine.

I’ve also purchased some scrapbook materials including a heat gun and some embossing powder from Scrap-n-Crop yesterday, hoping to see them pretty soon in my mail box. Just can’t wait to play with the embossing powder and probably I can make more cards out from it, ‘cos I’ve also bought some neutral Bazzill Basic cardstock.

Here is the card that I’ve made for the color combo challenge:

Happy Birthday Mary C!

By the way, the color combo challenge is to build a 3D project, layout or card with the 3 colors of pink, blue and green in any shades.

LOs over the weekend

Wuhooo.. I’ve been really in my creating mode over the weekend, with challenges of layout, product and pictures that I love, I’ve managed to do 4 layout!

First one here is a sketch challenge in Coconut Scrapshop. (you’ll need to be a member to view the forum, it is free to be a member, go have some fun!)

This is little Cal when he was only 1-2 year old wearing any specs that he could find, including gorgles. I love the hot pink!

I’ve used: Bazzill Basic in hot pink, polka dot PP from HOTP, journal tag and heart shape flower from Urban Lily, felt flower from Queen&Co., letter sticker from Basic Grey and Coconut Scrapshop July kit chipboard letter sticker, swirl stamp from Maya Road.

This one below is for product challenge in SoCalScrap, which one of them is to use Making Memories Noteworthy PP. (There are some other products that you can use to join in the challenge, you’ll need to be a member to view the forum, it is free and they host challenges every month!)

These are my mom and my two boys in Kinabalu Park. Precious moment for me to see them so close to my mom in taking picture. I’ve adhere green pattern paper behind the felt leave and red pp behind the felt flower then use pearl gems at the center.

I’ve used Making Memories Noteworthy PP, HOTP felt flower and red PP, Urban Lily mini book die-cut, Heidi’s pink flower, American Craft letter sticker, and the red ric rac from Coconut Scrapshop July kit.

The one below is for the journalling challenge in SoCalScrap that we need to pick a phrase, jingle or song or slogan from TV. I’ve used the song relics that came out from a TV commercial recently. Seeing here is hubby with little Cal when he was just over 2 months old.

I’ve used Bazzill Basic cardstock, American Craft letter sticker, Queen&co Felt flower, Heidi’s pink flower, Making Memories NW scallop PP and some buttons.

As for the one below is a scraplift from Scrapbooks.etc magazine. I just love seeing my kids holding hands with other little kids, one is leading and the other is following. It happened at the same day in the Kinabalu Park.
The flower is actually the backing of the felt flower left over which I use buttons as the centre.I’ve used Bazzill Basic cardstock, Jenni Bowlin journal tag, left over of felt flower, American Craft letter sticker and ribbon, Creative Memories PP (love this!) and some pearl gems.
I think after this, I’m going to get more Pink, Red and Orange cardstock. They are just so nice for children layout.

Challenges and more cards are up

Have done two challenges here over in SoCalScrap, one is a sketch challenge and the other is the card challenge. (you’ll need to be a member to join in all the fun and being a member is free!)

The one below is for the August sketch challenge. The sketch inspired me to do some butterflies for my LO. These cute little butterflies are actually made from flowers which got 5 pedals. One of the pedal is being cut off and replace by ribbon tie around it. The one in the middle is actually being cut in a way that one of the pedal became the antennas.
I’ve used Bazzil Basic cardstock, American craft ribbon and chipboard letter sticker, Urban Lily journaling tag, Hero Arts clear stamp.
As for the card below, it is for the card challenge, “Either use fabric or felt on your card or do some stitching (either machine or hand stitching) on your card.” What I did was to make a felt heart and stitch the edge.
I’ve used Urban Lily polkadot mini book cover, some pink brads, ribbon and red pattern paper from HOTP, Hero Arts clear stamp and punch the edge of the card with corner puncher.
This one below is another card which is almost black and white with a hint of red and pink. I just love what my round corner punch can do for the scallope edge, and I’ve punch little holes using Making Memories eyelet punch. The butterfly is also from Hero Arts clear stamp.
The cards below are made using Coconut Scrapshop July Liberty kit which is full of Scenic Road Liberty line paper.

I’m putting all these cards up for sale in my Etsy Store, do check them out.

Coconut challenge and 2 LO

We at Coconut scrapshop are voting for the July Product Challenge now!

My submission is the “Yummy yum…” under this post. All need to be done now is to vote at Coconut Scrapshop forum. There are only two entries, one is mind!! So far the vote is very close. So maybe if you all can go over there and get yourself registered for the forum, then you can start voting.

As for layout that I’ve done, here are two, one is not done with journaling yet. First one is for little Mer when he turn 3 this year. This was taken just before sending him off to school. I’ve used a mixture of things from all over.

The blue felt is from HOTP monthly kit. White flower, pattern paper, lettering and the star chipboard are from Coconut Scrapshop July kit. Cream start from Maya Road. The tag and edge cardstock from Urban Lily bought from Scrap-n-Crop. Stamp from Hero Arts

As for the one below are made from Coconut Scrapshop July kit with American craft chipboard and form lettering. The skulls are from Coconut Scrapshop May’s kit.

My two boys were just making silly faces besides their grandfather who normally would be very strick to them, seen here not smiling.. *LOL*

‘L’ mom LO and cards

Leave a comment
Just did a layout from Coconut Scrapshop July Kit. ‘L’ mom is the title. Yup, I’m an L license mom, one that is new and still learning.
The blue cardstock is from Bazzill Basic which I just bought from Scrap-n-Crop, so regretted that I only order one! I should have order at least 2 pieces of this blue, I love the color, it is actually a little bit purplish, darn, I don’t know what name is it now. It is just nice to go along with the Liberty line of Scenic Road pattern paper. The word ‘mom’ is form thicker from American Craft, also got it from S-n-C, it is so easy to use and flexible.

Journal:
The L license mom: Being a first time mom, with new experiences, new feelings, new responsibilities, new priority and lots of uncertainty.
With Calvin since birth.

I’ve actually did another LO using the July kit but lack of journal at the moment, will post it up once I did.

I’ve also used the left over scrap to make a card which I’m going to use it to enter for the July Card Challenge in Coconut Scrapshop.

Now I wonder how much does this card cost and how do I value them or would there be anyone who’ll buy these cards.. Another one is by pattern paper from HOTP and flower from Prima.

TFL.

LO over the weekend

7 Comments
Have fun using the Coconut Scrapshop July kit and I’ve finally use the lettering that came together in their May’s kit after sitting there for more than a month! I still have lots of other patter papers, stickers including letter stickers, tags, die-cut and ribbons that I haven’t used in my stash. I know some day I’ll find a suitable place for each and every single thing in my drawer.

The one below has used up some scrap left over from other LO. I just placed them behind the photos. Got this idea from Scrapbooks.etc magazine. I’ve finally found a suitable place for my velvet felt flowers too. Glad that they can blend in this LO. I still have a bit of self-criticism though. I think the number 2 should be lower a bit and let the U R be inside the circle..

Below is another layout that inspired by Scrapbooks.etc magazine. The background pp is from Autumn Leaves, the front pp is from Scenic Road that came in with the July kit. This is the first time I sew swirl in my LO. And I’ve incorporated the butterfly which is a form stamp as the apostrophe of my title.

Self-criticism is that maybe the photo together with the white pp can be in the middle of the page more.

This photo actually being taken years ago in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka when we went over to visit hubby who were working there then. This is little Cal in the picture, taking time to enjoy every little bit of things outdoor. I just love this photo, it feels a bit like those cartoon in Precious Moment.

I’ve been dreaming for a scraproom like the one below taken from Making Memories’ blog and they have shown that during CHA recently. Just love the green color and the simple setting. Could someone please buy me a room like that? 😀

After the glue, came..

Leave a comment

I just can’t wait, so what I did was to get down to Wisma Merdeka, Jeannette Craft shop to get my glue, but they only have liquid glue pen and way more expensive than Scrap-n-Crop (from USD3 something to RM24 in their place!) Anyway, I was desperate and dumb me, I got two! One fine tip and the other middle tip. Ok, I got something else with that also – fabric gel pants, which dried up in solid form. I haven’t play with them yet. Hopefully they work well on chipboard.
So I’ve been working last night, finished one layout and left one that need journaling. I’ve also done 2 layout days ago that need journaling.


The one above is using Coconut Scrapshop July Kit. I’ve only used 2 double sided PP from the kit with some buttons and flowers, a tag and chipboard letter. Layout inspired by the sketch that came along in the kit.
Journal: The boys enjoy anything cold with ice, but Mer doesn’t like ice-cream as much as Cal, he just loves his cup of ice lemon tea from mommy. Cal loves his cup of strawberry ice-cream, and they both happily pose for the camera.
McDonald, 1Borneo, 12 July 2008

The one above is done days ago with lots of colors, which I think maybe a bit too much.

Journal: The boys were doing summersault when they saw the colorful mate in the library children’s area. After a few unsuccessful tried, they discovered that the mate has mismatch color which they insisted to change and beautified. They had so much fun. Library HQ, Luyang. 5 July 2008 This is a scraplift or rather a copy, ‘cos I’ve used almost everything same pp from the original layout of Laura Vegas. The round embellishment is actually from a broken bracellet. I’ve written about this in another blog here.
Journal: A not so usual morning of Sunday spent with family. Cal loves his mushroom soup with garlic bread and finished his Spaghetti, rewarded with ice-cream. Half way eating, Mer prepared the space for himself to sleep and we get to enjoyed some quiet time. After that was a stroll in City Mall trying to check out the kids shops and got my photos processed.
The Hut, City Mall. 13 July 2008

I’ve used Coconut Scrapshop July kit for this as well. Got the title from Cal’s shirt and layout sketch from Zest blog July layout sketch. This is another layout that only used 2 double sided pattern papper from the kit. Made the embellishment by using felt and buttons.
Journal: Respect is what you need to earn, and what you need to learn.

Grace’s card lift

1 Comment

Done some card lifting from Grace’s card which she is going to teach on how to make them, check out her blog here. They are simply stunning and I just had to lift them and make them my own, of course they are not as stunning as those that you see in her blog.

They are both for birthday.
By the way, little Mer’s birthday is tomorrow, since hubby will be leaving to Singapore and back to work in China tomorrow, so we are going to celebrate with him early tonight.


I’ve used all scrap from those left over from my layout. Since I don’t think people will always treasure a card like a layout with stories, so I’ve used brad on the 2nd card. Some PP from Kelly Pinacci, printed font from Canon scrapbook font, stamp lettering and flower from HOTP, star chipboard from Maya Road.

Oh, by the way, it was Grace’s birthday on Monday! Happy Belated Birthday Grace!
