Wedding Anniversay

1 Comment

It was the 4th wedding anniversary of my friend LeeYo recently and she has requested to make a card for her hubby..
hehee.. wanna see how the card looks like? Ya.. I guess you are curios..
So, here is it!

I was playing around with the My Mind’s Eye kit from Scrapbook Daisies. And tried to make that flower. It is actually very easy to make, just that a bit hard to find a brad with long legs to get it through the paper.

So, LeeYo, Happy Anniversary!!! May you have hundreds of years to come.. haha!

A week in the life

Leave a comment

 

Ali Edward is going to do this again this year and I’m intended to join in. Crossing my fingers and really hoping that I can do a record such as this.

I always think that other people’s week in the life is more interesting, probably due to the fact that my life is kind of too routine, not much of excitement that I can share, places or things that I do out of the extra-ordinary. But then I’m reading this book – “Bonjour, happiness!” which is really talking about how to look for happiness and Jamie Cat Callan did point out that you need to look for happiness instead of persuing happiness. Her philosophy is some what like Ali’s “Life artist”.

I also love Ali’s December daily, which I’ve done using that idea in 2011. I know I definitely going to do another December Daily this year, but let me join in the fun in creating A Week in the Life first.

Have a great weekend you all!

Hello…

Hello… how are you all doing? How was the celebration of Fathers Day?
Mine, like I said, we did nothing..haha! But I did put in some “kisses” into the little box that I’ve made and gave to my dad. My dad is not someone who show his feelings easily, what more to his daughter.. He just took it calmly and expression-less. Ha! Nevertheless, I know he’s kind of enjoying the idea.
Here is a card that I’ve made long ago which I didn’t manage to share. Very simple card just hoping that it might just brighten up your day a little bit.
Do leave me comments if you stop by. Thank you!

Happy Father’s Day! How are you all doing on this Father’s Day?
For us, well.. nothing.. absolutely nothing.. we just stay at home, chilling out.
On the crafty side, I’ve something to share today. It is all started with a visit.
Thanks to a friend who came back for a visit from England, I get to have this – Cadbury Roses as a gift, of course plus a bookmark in remembering of the Royal Wedding!
Bookmark? Been keeping it nicely away.
Chocolate? – finished eating. Just left the little box, of course. So what can I do with the box? Make another box from craft paper and maybe can use it to put little “kisses” inside. So, here is what I’ve done by using the Roses box as a template:

I simply decorate it with some punched out butterflies using Martha Stewart’s punch and a doily.

Well, what’s important is of course what is in the box!

Now, all you all can do this simple box too, you’ll just need the template. In fact, you can copy any box that you like and create a customize box yourself.

Have fun!

Really fast layout

Hello peeps, how are you all doing?
First off, thanks for “Like”-ing my blog, hehe.. I hope to gain more popularity, and who knows some advertiser will be looking for me :p
Most of all, I would love to see more people doing scrapbook over here in Sabah. I hope more people will come too know about this fun and really meaningful hobby which also indirectly let you find yourself along the way and relaxes your mind, inspired you to create and hopefully make us all aware of our environment, and be grateful in our daily blessings.

Here is a layout that I wanted to share – one that is really quick and come together without a sketch. I’ve just used my butterfly punches from Martha Stewart, some bling and the Lost & Found paper line from My Mind’s Eye plus those brads and stickers that came along in the great kit that Martha puts together.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll “Like” my site if you’ve a FB account.

Oh.. before I forget, have you tried out the challenges over at Scrap-it-lah and Scrapbook Daisies yet? They both gain you changes to win a RAK / Kit! Scrapbook Daisies has got new challenge up today! Go have some fun!

Thanks so much and I love all your comments!

How are you all doing on this festive day? Today is actually Duan Wu Jie for the Chinese all around the world. Hope you have had your share of the dumpling today.
Scrapbook wise, I’ve done a layout for the sketch challenge over at Scrapbook Daisies – blog challenge #5.
Here is what I’ve done:
Base on this sketch:
I love the pop-up die-cut and chipboard stickers. They are just so cute!

This layout came together pretty easily with the sketch. The longest part is to type out the journal and cut them into strips then adhere them into the layout after I’ve ink them a bit with distressed ink.
I’m actually using Scrapbook Daisies month kit for this layout. Do check them out and Martha always prepare wonderful kits. I’m using March Happy Go Lucky kit and February True Blue mini kit.
Hope to see you join in the fun in Scrapbook Daisies and do look out for more challenges for this month.
Okay, I gotta go, dinner in mom’s place, yippie!
Happy scrapping!

My 1st assignment as DT for SIL

4 Comments

This post is about my first assignment over at Scrap-it-lah: – “Things I can’t live without“.

It has been up since 1st June and you’ll have it until the end of this month, mid-night of June 30th (Malaysia Time) to join in the fun and stand a chance to get a lovely RAK:

All you need to do is to come up with a layout with things that you can’t live without. Check out what the Design Team did for this challenge to jump start your creative juices. Then once you did that, link it by using the Mister Linky.

Here is my take for this challenge:

This is actually base on an old PageMaps sketch that I’ve lost track of. PageMaps is actually providing all their sketches in downloadable pdf!

Here is a close-up of the retro punched out flower with a big brad, oh.. and I love those “lost & found” brads with die-cut shapes from My Mind’s Eye:

Hope you’ll join in the fun challenge and got inspired by the wonderful Design Team in SIL and most of all, have fun. Hope to see your creation soon.

I’ve used My Mind’s Eye Lost & Found paper line, Jillibean soup alphabeans, Making Memories journal pad and my old type writer for the journaling.

Happy Scrapping!

Envelope album

2 Comments

Hi there, how are you all doing?
We over here in Sabah, Malaysia is having out Harvest Festival holidays for two days – today and tomorrow!! Yay!

Today I want to share with you an Envelope album that I’ve made. The idea in making it is from this tutorial from North Ridge Publishing. I am so going to buy the Mini Album inspiration book!

It is so happened that I’ve got a bunch of photos from the recent Family Day of my DS, and this is what I’ve made:

The envelope is easy, you’ll just need an envelope template and start creating from there. The difference between what is being shown in North Ridge Publishing and my album is that I didn’t use brad to create the twine securing part. Instead I’ve used eyelets and some small circles to create it.

Here are the inside pages:

I’m keeping the medal in one of the envelope. I can actually keep letters or some other memorabilia in those envelopes.

Yup, the last page is us being silly doing the “jump”:

I hope I’ll get the Mini Album inspiration book pretty soon and start creating other mini albums.

Happy Scrapping!!

What I’ve used: Basic Grey Hopscotch pattern paper, October afternoon Thrift Shop label and word stickers, Bella Blvd Honey I’m home stickers, some distressed ink and circle puncher.

I’ve stolen…

2 Comments

an idea from Kristine, who always make colorful pages and crafts. Just love how she uses her punches in her projects.

This time, what I’ve stolen is the wall-hanging with “Dream happy dreams” wording! It is just so gorgeous and I wanted that in my boys’ room too. So, this is her version of the wall-hanging:

And this is my version of it using acrylic base:

It is just so cute, right? hehe.. giving myself a high hat to wear :p

I’ve used We R Memeory Keepers’ Hippity Hoppity papers, American Craft letter stickers, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Fiskar retro flower punch and an acrylic piece from an album set.

I do hope however that the boys are really having happy dreams every night.

Happy weekend!
