There is another thing that I would love all of you who own a blog to do this: Carbon Neutral your site. Just check this out here and start helping the mother earth to get well by planting more trees to neutralize those carbon footprint that our sites created.
I hope all of us can do our parts for our mother earth.

This is one of the photos that taken during Chinese New Year, that’s why all the red color! We had a photo session without my MIL ‘cos she already went to the temple. This one was taken at home and I just love it when I can use those lovely paper from Dear Lizzy line which came in the Studio Calico kit. That kit is just filled with goodies, even those thank you tag and package backing are usable! The wood pattern that I used for the photo mat is actually the package backing for the wood vinyl, same goes to the sun pattern behind the photo, and the horizontal yellow PP is a notice tag that came together in the kit.

I’ve put a bit of lace from my stash in this layout and have cut those lovely flowers from Dear Lizzy PP as part of the embellishment.

This layout is done using the April sketch over at Scrapbook Deals 4U. Go have some fun with the sketch and you might just get to win something from them.
Happy Scrapping!
Product used: Studio Calico Quiting Bee kit, check out what the designers had done with the kit here.

Scrap A Little blog hop

14 Comments

Hey there, been wanting to do this which is so fun when I join in for other sites. Yes, a blog hop!
This is our first design team blog hop for Scrap a little, it is for April’s challenge as well.

I hope you’ve come from the right place, if you are not, then hop on over to Scrap a little and start from there, you won’t wanna miss anything and miss the real challenge for April!

The song that I picked is “Say what you need to say” by John Mayer.

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ’em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]

To me, this song means to really say it out rather than keeping it ‘cos you might not have the chance to say what you need to say after wards.

I did a layout base on this song using Creative Scrapper’s sketch #97 and I’ve used other quote for the journaling which read “Those who matter wont’ mind, those who mind wont’ matter.”


My son just grow so much! I still miss his chubby toddler look.
Now, let’s just choose a song and let’s hop on over to the next blog – back to Scrap a little! Don’t forget to link to Mr. Linky over at Scrap a little for your layout!

Have fun!

Edited: forgot to mention this:
If you become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment here, you’ll be entered into a random drawing at the end of April for a little RAK that I’ve put together. Will show the contents soonest.
Product used: American Craft PP, Basic Grey Origins kit, Scenic Route letter stickers.

More layouts for SD4U challenge

1 Comment
Here are some more layouts that I did for Scrapbook Deals 4U birthday party challenges.
First is this one, a simple note from me to my boys which I’ve used Pencil Lines sketch #178.
What I need to include in the layout is some shine / blings and paint. I’ve bling on top of the page, and as for paint, I simply can’t use my white acrylic paint that I have. So I tried out the crackle paint on the buttons. They look fine, aren’t they? I actually love the effect.

As for another layout that I did using the PP that has long been with me and which is a RAK. I’m so glad that I can use the PP. Plus butterflies cut out by my Slice in two different sizes. Aren’t they just cute? This is my 2nd DS years ago when he went to my mom’s farm. Oh I miss those chubby cheeks.
I’ve used black pen to ink the edges of the butterflies before adhering them onto the page and put some blings on their bodies.
Oh, I’m loving those lace trim that I got from a local craft store, they simply add a little vintage touch on the layout.
Well, it is Good Friday tomorrow and it is a holiday over here, means I get to spend more time at home, hoping to do some scrapping and donut! Yes, wanna try making donut, hope it will work.
Happy scrapping and do keep Jesus in mind.
Product used (those that I can remember): Humbly Print PP, Making Memories felt flower, some doiley, Slice basic element, BoBunny buttons, Kaiser Craft bling, Prima bling.

Layouts for SD4U challenges

1 Comment
Am going to share about what I’ve done for Scrapbook Deals 4U birthday challenge.
Firstly, this is the one for things / people that I love, with scallop appearing in the LO:

This PP has been in my stash for a long time, definitely more than 2 years, and only now then I got a chance to use it. Those are some cute chipboard that I get from Scrapbook Deals 4U March kit. I’ve misted them with Tattered Angels’ mist in brick. Have used gel medium on some of those chipboard.

The layout is pretty simple, no mating for the photos, with simple embellishment. The PP itself has got pretty motif which is good enough.

Another layout done for SD4U challenge. This time is to do a winter layout using winter element, I’m using snowflakes overlay from Humbly Print. This is quite a challenge for me ‘cos we don’t have winter here. And I would have thought that I don’t have any winter photo, but I found one at the end. One that I’ve forgotten about. We were in HK for holiday at end of 2009. It was really cold and the boys need to get into their cousins’ winter clothes in order to go to the Avenue of Stars.
Here is the layout using Urban Ink PP, also another kit from Scrapbook Deals 4u. I’m glad that I didn’t cover the lower part of the PP, I love those white pictures.
I’ve cut out those snow flakes overlay and adhere them on to the page.
That’s all for tonight, will post some more layouts that I did for SD4U challenge.
Happy scrapping!

Brother and sisters

Here is another layout from the result of joining challenges online. This is for Scrapbook Deals 4U grateful challenge using Pencil Lines’ sketch #179.

These are my brother and sisters during a dinner date for just the 6 of us last year. Hope to do this more often.

The red scallop cardstock has been in my stash for a long time, definitely more than a year, and now only it get to be used. I got the pink ribbon from local craft store and those doily from a baking shop for the flower. Those swirls are from Slice basic element.

Those butterflies are rub-on from Basic Grey Origins kit, love them!
I had fun misting and making the doily flower.
Happy scrapping!

This is an old photo of me during our annual dinner. I was wearing my Saree that I’ve get it tailor made in Sri Lanka years ago, it should be more than 5 years ago. Well, I still look Chinese in that Saree *LOL*.

This layout is inspired by the challenge over at Scrapbook Deals 4U and a sketch from Creative Scrappers #96.
I’m loving those doily that I got from the baking shop. Misting them away with my Tattered Angels mist in brick. And then making them into flowers, aren’t they just cute!? They are pretty easy to make, just mist them, then push the center together, adhere the back with some glue and embellish the center with a button. If the center is too bulky, snip off those extra paper that have been pushed up and you’ll be fine.


Oh, and I’m still loving my Slice for cutting out the butterfly which I’ve stamped and painted with some crackle paint. I love the effect.

Happy Tuesday!

looking back

Had so much fun over at Scrapbook Deals 4U during their 2nd birthday party recently. I get to scrap photos that I’ve forgotten about, I get to look at those photos and really think of anything else that I wanted my boys know. I get to look back at things.

So, I get to scrap this photo of my son back when he was still little, though he is still, but he is much taller now. This is for a challenge to use 5 flowers, living element and bling. I felt that I’ve distressed this layout a lot, what say ya?
Here are some more close-up detail of those layered flowers from BoBunny and felt flower stickers from Basic Grey Origins kit. Am really looking forward to the arrival of my Origins Kit again and this time is from Basic Grey themselves! I got my Origins kit first from Scrapbook Deals 4u actually.

Going to post another layout soon.
Happy Scrapping!
