March Kristine Davidson Sketch over at Scrapbook Daisies

March 28, 20112 Comments

There are actually 7 challenges over at Scrapbook Daisies each month. 3 of them are sketch challenges, the rest are color, journaling, stash and lift challenges. You’ll have to finish up those challenges within that month once they are out. The reward? A kit from Scrapbook Daisies!! Isn’t great!?

Today I want to share about the layout that I did base upon one of the sketch challenges over at Scrapbook Daisies:

I came up with this layout:

Which I’ve used Basic Grey Max & Whiskers kit, which is also one of the monthly kit from Scrapbook Daisies. The swirls are from Slice maching, and the white flower is from Prima and my own doily. The rest are all in the kit.

Isn’t that puppy sticker cute? Oh, and I love the brad with a paw.

So, if you are looking for a kit club to join, I would highly recommend Scrapbook Daisies. Every month Martha will pick kits that are filled with yummy goodies that you can make a few layouts and cards.

Happy Scrapping!

CS #148 & journaling challenge

March 25, 2011Leave a comment

How are you all doing? Yes, my creative juices are back again, yay! And this time I’ve made another layout using Creative Scrapper’s sketch #148 plus using the challenge idea of journaling over at Scrapbook Daisies. This is what I came up with:

I’m using this sketch:

All things are from Scrapbook Daisies Happy Together kit, except the doilies which are from my own stash. Just love the bling swirls that came with the kit. Swirls always make me think of butterfly, so here goes:

The pack of Prima flowers with glaze / thickles are just so pretty:

I’ve hidden my journaling behind the bottom left photo, which I’ve put another photo below too. A good way to include more photos in one page without jamming up the whole page.

The challenge over at Scrapbook Daisies is to use journaling spot in our layout, the best is of course do our journaling on those journaling spot.. Here I’ve used them for embellishment, title placement and journaling (date).

I love how the whole layout turn out, it has a soft feel with those misted doilies. And guess what? I put those doilies last into the layout! Thank God that they didn’t tear easily and the adhesive haven’t stay permanent yet. Ha!

Happy scrapping and I hope you’ll have an awesome weekend!

Our little breakfast and something else

Check this out! My layout is being chosen as the layout of the week in Scrapbook Daisies, yay!! Thanks for spotting me Michelle.

Today I want to share a layout that I did yesterday. I’m so glad that I did some creative things, ‘cos I was really having bad morning sickness, felt so weak before that. And guess what? After I did the layouts, I was totally fine and I can even cook!

Here is one of the layouts that I did for a sketch challenge over at Scrapbook Daisies.

I’m using this PageMaps sketch in the challenge:

I love to use bits and pieces of thing sometimes, this time even down to the Paper line name – Life is good tag is actually the paper border, it is just so cute to throw away. Here I raised it with form adhesive.

I did those punch out retro flowers again, thanks again Kristi for teaching how to make those flowers.

Sorry for the bad photo quality though, I just can’t, so I took it right after I’ve done the layout late afternoon while it was raining outside.

Another thing, if you want to lend a hand for our Japanese friends, read this and share your creation. Tomoko is trying to raise some funds by selling crafts created by us all, so head on over to her blog and check out with her.

Happy crafting you all!

I am dizzy..

March 14, 20112 Comments

Ya, sounds like the song I’m dizzy.. but really, I’m all dizzy here, had gone back to sleep this morning after brushing my teeth, some honey corn flakes and orange slices. Crazy!

It has been like this since I came back from Tawau. Keep on taking long breath, kept feeling hungry and yet something always seems stuck on my chest. I burb and did the most disgusting fart, still more burb later. I don’t feel like doing anything other than sitting here looking at my boys got all excited over Plants vs Zombie.

I wonder how would I be tomorrow at work.

I wonder if I can even go through my eye test later.

I wonder if food taste okay to me later.

oooo….. am feeling dizzy again…

I haven’t touch my glu in a week already. So, no creative things came out just yet.

CS #145 – our little escape

March 4, 20114 Comments

Love this sketch once I saw it in Creative Scrapper and right away know that I need to scrap the photo that we’ve taken while we had our short trip to Sandakan. It was a trip to attend our friend’s wedding.

Here is the sketch:

And here is what I’ve done with the sketch together with the stash challenge over at Scrapbook Daisies:

The challenge is to use 3 buttons, 2 die-cut and 1 photo. I’ve use MM Slice machine to cut out the swirls, ink and mist them.

As for the buttons, they are from BoBunny, clear buttons, which I’ve glued them with PP behind to coordinate with my page.

When I saw the circle in the sketch, I knew that I would love to use doilies in my page and I did! Which I’ve mist it with Twilight color. Made some more flowers using doilies which also being mist.

Still love those butterflies punched out from Martha Stewart’s punch and the MM brads.

Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciate all your responds and comments in my blog, thanks for the blog love that you’ve sent you.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Oh ya.. the PP is from Studio Calico. Hmm.. I’m really bad in keeping record of things that I’ve used, sorry that I am not able to provide all those products info for you all.

Where the name came from

Read this post this morning from another blog. Love the picture there:

It really puts a smile on my face seeing this picture, it also reminds that this is how my son’s name came about. I adore Calvin and Hope that time, so I name after that little boy and hopefully my son also gets a bit of his characters, ha! True enough, he is funny, he loves to make his little brother laugh and he is sure curious, however he doesn’t have a tiger with him all the time. Probably is there, but I couldn’t see it.

Well, the read is actually started with the Art Journal thing, which I’ve no clue about and all the while I thought about my friend who has studied interior design in art school before, so maybe she’ll be interested and re-live her artsy self again, ‘cos she is not in children clothing and supply job. Well, Spidy, this post is for you.

Happy Monday to you all.

Sketchy Thursday – March DT

February 11, 20118 Comments

I thought I was late again for Sketchy Thursday challenge, but it turns out that the due date is 19th Feb! Yes~~!

So, here is the sketch for March DT member challenge:

Here is my take with some distressing, inking and layering:

I love this photo of DS, I purposely shot half of his face and had him laughing in front of the camera to show his growing front teeth.

Everything is from the Scrapbook Daisies kit.

Happy Friday and wishing you a great weekend ahead.

Have you prepared for Valentine’s Day yet? Have you made any cards? I did! Will share about this later.

Simply Perfect

February 1, 2011February 7, 2018Leave a comment

Yup, these two are just too cute to miss (in these photos only LOL).

Those Simply Perfect papers are really hard to use, they are too pretty by themselves! I felt guilty to cover them up actually and each paper has glitters on them, breath taking to just look at them, so how can I just cut them up or cover them?

This paper that I chose to use is with a bird on the side, so I can still put my photos in the center and cover up those wordings which I was thinking if I should cut a hole in the middle so that I can use that PP again for cards maybe.

I used it anyway, and along the way I kept on telling myself it will be even prettier with my photos and memories on it. Everything is from the Scrapbook Daisies kit except the black Making Memories journal pad.

Happy Tuesday! And thanks in advance for all your blog love!
