Pink cheek

Here is one that I did using pink for my boy’s page! Yes, pink! Ha!
Well, who is judging?
Okay, this one is made after I’ve learn to make the scrap paper as embellishment from Paper Secret. It is a great way to use up all those scrap, you can also use it to create Christmas tree for your Christmas cards! Isn’t it great?

 Here is a close-up of the heart that I’ve made with lots of paper scrap:


Since this page got lots of cute flowers, so I thought I would be good to have some butterflies, so here goes:

Let me know if you like it? I know I don’t get much respond from my follower. Or maybe you just couldn’t be bother to leave me a comment, but please do, I love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Sunday!

These legs

I wasn’t in a writing mood, nor scrapping mood, or craft or being creative. Just doesn’t in that mode or mood. However I did manage to do a layout with these two photos that you been in my scrap-room quite some times: – These legs:

I’m using stuff from Studio Calico kit, not sure which month now since I’ve stop subscribing to the monthly kit now. I’ve one kit from Scrapbook Daisy which offer me another great kit from Basic Grey monthly page kit, so I’ve two and I think that is more than enough for me now. Yes, some of them are still in their original plastic bags and only a few papers are being used. I’m telling myself, eventually I’ll come to them and use them all up.
I’m also telling myself to be generous in using paper paper and supplies, so my scrap-room will have more space for new stuff.

Here are a couple of close-up shot of the layout:

I’ve used a stamp from the girls’ paparie on holiday die cuts, stamped with my Making Memories travel stamp set, using Staz-on ink. Just the way I like it. It looks like from a post-card huh?
Then I combine doily, more die-cut from the girls’ paperie and overlap them.

Cos this is a boy’s page and I was telling myself not to use flowers in the layout, that’s how it turns out. I hope doily is not too girly for a boy’s page.
Have you created anything this week? Are you intending to create card or layout? What about those Christmas Cards, have you got enough for friends and family now?
Happy Weekend!

Remember this post about Shutterfly giveaway?
Strangely though I’ve 40 over followers, only one that responded to the give-away, that is Uncle Lee!

So, Uncle Lee, do contact me to get your code for the Shutterfly photobook. The rest of you, do let me know if you are interested to have this give-away again, ‘cos the code is until end of December.

Recently I’m really  not up the par for writing blog post, just couldn’t get myself to write anything. I didn’t even do a single layout for the past weeks too. Gosh! I thought I couldn’t live without scrapbooking, but eventually I did survive due to the heavy work schedule. And I do still have one more assignment to finished up which is already overdue. That is to get this thesis citation done for publication.

Finger crossed that everything will soon be over and I can come back to my creative self again. So, does anyone of you been not doing any scrapbooking recently? Tell me.. I would love to hear from you all.

Scrapbook challenges sketch # 221

It has been quite a while that I didn’t join in the challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges. But I love seeing this sketch:
And there are some paper from Humbly Print that I wanted to use which has been sitting there for a long time, it is this brick print paper, plus some mesh or what is it call for that bandage cover .. I’ve mist it and well, look at how it turns out:

I wanted to get messy too, so I’ve played with my acrylic paint, mist and my distressed ink. I’ve used the white acrylic paint behind my title simply because it doesn’t stand out that much, so with a whiter background, the green do show better.

Oh, and I’m loving those pearl swirl, would love to have a bunch of them in hand, though it is a boy’s page, but who sets the rules anyway, LOL.

So,  if you are like me, looking for sketch challenges, head on over to Scrapbook Challenges ning site and you’ll find lots of great sketches there. Have fun!

Another birthday card

1 Comment

Today is 10th of October 2010, which is 10.10.10!!! It would take another hundred years for us to have this in the calender, hope today is an auspicious day for us all.

As I said in the earlier post, there are several of my friends who celebrated their birthdays in October. One who is even work together with me. So, this is for Fion on the 4th. October. Happy Belated Birthday Fion!

What I used? emm.. bits and pieces of paper and of course a doily from the baking shop, which is a very cheap embellishment that I can mist, squeeze into flowers and maybe fold up for something else. With only RM5, I can have hundreds of them!

That butterfly is a punch out butterfly using Martha Stewart’s butterfly punch. Those two flowers are from Dear Lizzy line stamp that I’ve colored.

Have a blesses day!

It was a birthday for a friend, well more than one friends’ birthday just past, and this card is given by her sister and ordered from me, yay! So happy that I’ve got some return on what I’ve done. I wanted to re-create this card, but too bad, I’ve run out of the same patter paper came in from Studio Calico kit. Due to wallet thinness, I’ve stop ordering from Studio Calico.

So, happy be-lated birthday Francessca! (I hope I’ve spelled your name right) And I hope you don’t mind me showing your card here.

Happy Friday night!

Lovely paperline huh? They are all from Echo Park Sweet Summer Time PP in Scrapbook Daisies kit. I hand-sew those “bling” with some beats from my stash to make the flower centre.

So, what’s in my bag?
Wallet of course, then there are my hand-phone, car key, lipstick in the case, lip-gloss, hand lotion in sakura (love the smell), two pens! and of course the camera that I was using to snap these photos.
Two girls must have thought that I was crazy ‘cos I was snapping my handbag in a studio’s chair where they use to snap passport photos! Ha!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Oh ya.. Head on over to Scrapbook Daisies now for they are having a celebration for the opening of the Scrapbook Daisies store.
And ya.. I’m so proud that I was using my Slice to cut those swirls, but bad news is that one of the design card which came together in the Slice package is no longer working, and it is one with Ms+, which has image, flip function! Bu hoo hoo….

I felt like…

I felt like I have lost something that I didn’t scrap as often as I could recently, probably just too tire to do so.

I saw lots of great pages over the Net, I wanted to scrap-lift them, I wanted to make it my own and record down stories of the day to day life. I wanted to use all those distressing technique, those mist, those chipboard, those fuzzy cutting and just have fun.

When I do scrap, I felt that I will pay more attention on things around me, on what my kids said, how they behave and how I respond, so that I can jot them down and put them all in my scrapbook page.

I wanted to do a mini-album about me and hubby, or simply a mini-album about things around the house, I definitely going to do this challenge.

I wanted to make more cards, cards just to say hello and I need to post out those cards that I’ve made.
So many things to do on a Friday morning. Maybe I’ll start tonight.

Yippiee!!! My layout was being selected as the Layout of the week over at Scrapbook Daisies, check it out here. The layout is being inspired by the sketch here.

Here is the layout that has been chosen as LOTW:

I’ve used the Echo Park kit from Scrapbook Daisies which is filled with colorful PP and cute stickers. Everything is from that kit except the two little birds which is from a previous kit.

Here is a close-up of those cute pin wheels:
