Another project life spread

Yes, right after Easter, I’ve got this to share – just another Project Life spread.

This time to record what we did on Friday, after welcoming back hubby from the air-port. We went to our familiar place – Marina club of Sutera Harbor Resort.

Tried out their breakfast platter with porch egg and discovered that I pretty much prefer sunny-side-up instead of porch egg. Plus, I prefer McD’s pancake. Anyhow, we finished our breakfast.

Been loving Ali Edwards’ word stamp. So have been using a lot of her stamp on one of the cards shown here:

Hope you all have a great week!

Howdy!

It is March already, how fast! And… I’ve done another page using molding paste, they are fun! Especially with embossed end-result and I can change the color of the paste by mixing it with misting spray. Didn’t use much of the embellishment this time, especially not using any Prima flower.

Here are some close-up of the page.

You can see I’ve been using word stamp from Ali Edwards. I’m still subscribe to her story telling stamp every month, just love to watch her lesson videos and ideas in recording life stories. Am also trying to record down stories in my life and hopefully can read them in the future when I get really really old (if I do get that old), ha!

Have also use some die-cut from Basic Grey and brads just to add some dimension to the page.

Well, start creating and have fun!

It has been such a long while that I didn’t create any scrapbook page and last week I sat down in my scraproom table, looking at those photos taken during Chinese New Year, and told myself I must create at least a page. Some how I’ve made several including Project Life spread of photos taken years back in Sri Lanka.

Today, I just want to share this page taken with Mervin

with mervin

Using whatever that I have in my stash and Ali Story Word stamp, Prima Flowers and GasicGrey die-cut.

Wanted to incorporate the red and green in the photo into the page, thus that combination of colors, a pretty unusual one for me.

Yesterday was the last day of celebration for Chinese New Year, our Chap Goh Mei and Chinese Valentine’s Day, it mark the last day of celebration, looking forward to a year fill with happiness this year.

Magic evening – mix-media

Original page

Hi there! Hope you’ve had a great weekend!

I’ve got myself a bottle of molding paste and some Prima stencils, just couldn’t wait to try them on, and that’s the result of this page – Magic evening.

I’ve been playing with the mold by itself and also with some color mist. Those bulging little pedals on the bottom of the page and those teal color leafs are from the molding paste. I had to leave it till it totally dried up then I can continue working with it.

The way how this page come by is inspired by My Creative Scrapbook mix media video that their designer showed, thank you My Creative Scrapbook!

Here are some closed-up of the pages showing those pretty Prima flowers and the punched-out butterflies using Martha Stewards punchers.

I had this page into the frame that I have at home and it is now sitting right next to my TV.. teeheee…

Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Yupe, some stamps are just so versatile that you can use them again and again. That’s what happened to this layout that I’m going to share today.

Check out this layout that I’ve used the same stamp – Little Moments, here..

Wanted to use “Little Moments” as my title, but changed my mind since I’ve used it before and would like to try something else.

little moments

Not a so pretty photo that I’ve taken. It was taken in Sushi King while the boys brought their Chinese Chess there and straight away helped themselves with the game while waiting for their order. Which is absolutely fine to me. Rather than them facing the tab or my phone without talking or interacting with each other. little moments1

As for what I’ve used.. well, lots of Prima’s flowers and two Basic Grey clips. Love those flower with some brads.

Have used border punches too.

little moments2

oh .. and this layout was started from a layout challenge over at MyCreativeScrappers, September Sketch Challenge. Head on over if you are in for a challenge, deadline is October 14.

As for myself, I’ve put down some challenge or a start-up guide for myself to start this layout, that is to include the following in my layout:

Lace
Flowers
Border punch
Ink
Torn page

Well, let me know if you are joining the fun and have a fun day and keep up with those life records.

Using Ali’s stamp

September 20, 2015Leave a comment

Hey there, this post is going to share on a page that is fresh from today’s event, using all Ali Edwards’ stamp from the Craft the Story stamp set. I love Ali’s way in recording stories of the day to day life, about appreciation, about being there and living at the moment. Her blog and ways in telling stories are awesome ways in reminding myself on my life and purpose.

Below is a fresh layout that I’ve used all stamps set from her collection. I’ve combined her word’s stamp and story telling stamp set.
build1

This round stamp also from Ali’s story telling stamp set. Just love how I can use her stamp anyway and in almost every story. build2

This star is from Scenic Route which I’ve stamped with gold color ink and embossed with glitter embossing powder. build3

It is fun and really settled me down or rather calm me down while I was doing scrapbook. To me, it is a good way to bring me back to the moment, think back on things that I cherish and work that gratitude that I should be having everyday in my life.

I hope you will have a great week ahead and remember to create something fun!

Thankful – birthday layout and Craft wording

Hello there, greetings! Thanks for stopping by.

Today, I want to share a page that I’ve made for my boy’s birthday.

Didn’t use anything new, everything from my old stash.. no purchase is allowed at the moment since I still have packs and packs of stuff in my scraproom.

So, here goes..

Some details in close-up..

Last picture shows that Prima make-a-swirls stamp with embossed powder. That swirls set is very versatile, can use it anywhere of the page.

That pop-up flower on the top left is from Basic grey, same goes with that swirl. They are the layered stickers.

While those two green and yellow flowers are from Original Collection that I got from Popular bookstore. Never thought I would have found any scrapbook stuff there. Now even Kaison are selling sticker alphabet from American Craft at just RM3.90!

Talking about Kaison, I bought myself some wooden alphabets at RM1.90 each and made this deco on my craft-room:

Just added some Prima flowers and roses. Those little owl and animal’s pegs shown on the wall are from Kaison too. It is what happy place that I like to browse.. and well.. sometimes bought cute stuff for the house.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Little moments

Hi there, how are you treating life?

It has been such a long time that I haven’t been making scrapbook page.. since last November 2014!! The whole 8 months without putting down any photos on a single scrapbook page! Where have I been!? This is so not me.. not being able to create scrapbook page and recording life story..

However, I’ve tried to keep myself updated with Ali Edwards’ page and story stamp though they are starting to gather dust. Thanks to the special occassion on 5th August that made me wanna create again. Unfortunately I haven’t managed to come up with a birthday page for Calvin, instead, I’ve created the page above. One that recorded down that happy moment that I had with my niece having lunch together. Which could soon be a rare moment, as she might just move on to another place in the near future. For good.

Here are some details of the page, which you’ll be able to see one of Ali’s story stamp – “little moments”, “life is good” circle stamp and that little love mug.. they are just so adorable. I’ve added on some tags, rub-on and Prima flower too.

little moments2

I’m looking forward to a great week ahead, one that I hope I’ll not dwell on the passed and worried about what’s going to happen.

I hope you too, have a great week ahead.

Scrapbook page

November 17, 20141 Comment

Finally I did a scrapbook page instead of the usual Project Life style. This time I finished a page about the light lunch that I had recently with my two boys. And also the first time I printed my own photos at home! Yay! And I’m loving it. Though not so satisfy with the color. It turns out to be a bit “old” looking.. anyway, I’m going to do that more, and next time maybe I should enhance the color before I print.

I find that I like distressed look and really really wanted to add flowers into the page even though it is a boy’s page, anyway, who says there is such a rule??

This page actually using a Christmas page, see those snowflakes? Would you notice if I don’t tell you. 😀

Oh ya.. and I still love those words stamps set from Ali Edwards. They are just so versatile and good reminder on how to look at life itself.

At the moment, I’m restraining myself in buying more scrapbook pattern paper or kit that I saw online, ya, they are just so attractive and each and everyone of them are calling my name! Such a hard resistance to have. So far what I’ve bought (ya.. I still have bought!) is the Prima golden flowers (that can be seen in the page) and Project life mini cards, plus a mini snap album for the December Daily project.

Well, I can’t just wait till December to use the project life journal cards, so I’ve used a few in the following Project Life page:

Have you tried out using Instax share to print your photo? They are just so cute! I still love doing that.

Second page is a page to remember our annual dinner, starting from preparation to the dinner itself. Lots of selfies here. ha!

I hope these pages would give you some push in doing your own scrapbook pages to record down the meaning behind all those photos that you’ve taken. I know I do needed this ‘cos it really is a very good way to put them down in printed format and jot down the memories that I wanted to keep. It is also a good way in telling your kids how much you care and how they were doing.

Have an awesome week!

Project Life – Scrapbook layout

October 23, 2014Leave a comment

Hi hi, it has been such a long time that I didn’t do any scrapbook pages. And ever since I’ve bought the Instax Share Printer, I go ga-ga about it and started printing small pictures of everyday events, so I’ve started my Project life scrapbook layout again, but this time I’m not restricting myself to document each and everyday but instead I just document things, people or events that I wanted to remember.

So, recently I came up with these few pages on photos that I’ve taken and since I’ve subscribed with Ali Edwards monthly Story Stamp, I’ve got my first stamp – “Prompts”. A good way to get me started with my story, prompts that work and prompts that got me thinking.

Overall, it is such fun to document my life. Well, not such an interesting one but hey, it is MY LIFE and MY STORY, there could never be another person sharing this same story with mine.

Here, the fist page that was done using Prompt stamp set:

Another page which sits side-by-side with the page above:

And here showing some close-up of the brads and embellishment that I’ve used:

As for the next, these two pages is to remember a special event that happened this month – Cousin’s wedding banquet. Love the theme of that night, unfortunately I didn’t capture clear photo of the event venue, plus I didn’t even got chance to take photo with the bride and groom. Anyhow I’ve used their invitation card in the layout:
