Creative Scrappers sketch – Paint

3 Comments

Those flowers are handmade after learning about it Johanna through their vblog post over in YouTube, it is great! I’m using some light weight pattern paper from PaperWishes for those flowers plus Thank goodness I bought myself a mini mister from the drugstore yesterday and made it into good use last night.

Oh, and those felt flowers, they are gathering dust and finally can be showing off here in the layout again. And those trim, they are just nice (I think) for the layout to add some texture.



I think I’m getting to love distressing, I tried to distress almost all of my recent layouts, don’t you think so?

This layout is about those paint work that my two sons did while they were over in the Kiddies club. They just love it so much that they’ll ask for it every time they are there, but I do have to pay for it, so … some times they don’t get what they want *wink*.
Product used: BoBunny PP and Buttons; Pink Paisley letter chipboard stickers; Queen & co. felt flower; Maya Road journal stamp; Tattered Angel’s glimmer mist; PaperWishes HOTP PP; some ink.

Sketch challenge

Here is a sketch used by Scrapbook Deals 4U as their sketch #44 challenge (a sketch from Page Maps):

And, here is my take, one that I did last night probably using the shortest time (half an hour) to finish after my boys have gone to dreamland.

Ya.. I’ve simplify the sketch and distressed everything and inked everything except those stickers. To me the white cardstock is just too clean for me, thus I’ve inked it.
My first DS was actually trying to capture himself with the self-timer, but probably he has chosen the 2 sec. timer, so it looks like he was jumping.
Product used: Basic Grey Marrakech PP and stickers, American Craft letter stickers, some ink.

I love this

This is a page that inspired by Scrap-it-lah November challenge, Scrapbook Challenges play on words challenge and a sketch from Color Me Daisy.

Scrap-it-lah challenge is to “Please scrap a layout with the title comprising of the letters – “S”, “I” and “L” which are the acronyms of Scrap-it-Lah.”
Where else for Scrapbook Challenges is “to make a play on words with you title. You may use stamps, die cuts, cut outs, chipboard, and so many more. Any subject, any size, any type of project as long as it follows the challenge.”
And Color Me Daisy sketch is as below:

So, I’m incorporating all three things in one layout since they are not about the same thing, and it help a lot in doing this page and it is fun too!

This is us during my trip over to Shenzhen recently, taken in the restaurant at the air-port.

Have long didn’t use that swirl stamp from Inkadinkado that I bought from Scrap-n-crop. I’ve misted the heart shape that I cut out from Urban Lily paper, then ink the edges and stamp on it using white ink. Love how it turns out.

Yup, after 7 years of marriage, we are still in love. Especially after the recent trip. Now I know how important that is to our relationship, we should really spend quality “us” time together more than anything else.
I’m loving this layout and am displaying it in my office now. 😉
Product used: Humbly print rub-on, Pink Paisley and American Craft letter stickers, K&Co Urban Rhapsody PP, Prima flowers, Kaiser Craft blings, Fancy Pants Delight PP, Urban Lily, Tsukineko Dew Drop ink, Inkadinkado swirl stamp, Petaloo Mulberry Street Flowers.

Another sketch challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges. This is sketch 168:


Do head over to Scrapbook Challenges and join in the fun.

I’ve flip the sketch and tilt it aside, ink those edges on the pattern paper and my photo. The photo actually was taken awhile back and the incident actually happened last night right before bed-time.

Probably since I’ve left my boys for 5 days being with hubby, my 2nd DS discovered something new to do like kissing me on the lips for more than ten times in one go and hugged me, then told me I’m pretty *LOL* How sweet was that!? I was holding my surprise look though.
I’ve also put some white ink on the title area to make it stands out more from the journal sheet.
Product used: (from Scrapbook Deals 4U September Delight kit) Fancy Pants Delight line PP and journal sheet, Creative Cafe Chocolate Diecut ; Kaiser Craft blings, American Craft letter stickers and ink.

The walk

5 Comments

I did a very quick but thoroughly thought over layout last night after seeing the sketch #76 of Creative Scrappers. One that hinted the use of paint or the same sort.I found the perfect pattern paper for this sketch and have used ink and glimmer mist on the background. The pattern paper is just nice for those photos as well as my boys were enjoying a walk along our neighbourhood road that are not fully done yet.

This walk of their is actually being called jogging by them. But instead we just walk.
In these picture, one of them was collecting pebbles, and one was carrying a stick. They wanted to go further up but lazy mom made up stories to get them home *grin*.
Product used: PP, buttons and stickers from Bo Bunny, glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.

One Sunday

Am back!
Just got back yesterday from visiting hubby. I had lots of fun time away from my two boys. I must say I don’t particularly miss them *LOL*. Knowing that I can do lots of things that I can’t do with them around, such as going for food massage, eating comfortably without chasing them around, sleeping late and eating hot and spicy noodles! Yup, I’m glad I made the trip over alone.
Now, for scrapbook sharing. Am way too late to submit this on a challenge over at Creative Scrappers using their sketch #75

I’m using all things from Scrapbook Deals 4U October kit – Delilah, plus Tattered Angel’s mist, Making Memories paper pad and some ink. Look out for Scrapbook Deals 4U October Delilah kit in their store for more description soon.

I got the idea of ink distressing from one of the pattern paper that came along in the kit, so I’ve used red, brown and white ink on the edges of the pink cardstock. Knowing that I hardly use flowers on my boys’ pages, thus it is so lovely to see these flowers on my layout.

Thanks for looking.

Bummer

Another bummer for me happened today – I forgot my camera!

It is like “I forgot my phone” thing to me ‘cos today I’m suppose to load photos into the gallery to be entered for some challenges and yet of all the things, I forgot the camera which I’ve already snap photos of my layout, one that being doing last night using the beautiful Delilah kit from Scrapbook Deals4U.

*Sigh* And now, I’ll have to wait till next Tuesday to get it loaded and it will be way past due date. I really really wish I can have my broadband running at home, unfortunately it doesn’t cover till that area. Even when it does, it is way too slow for me to load anything over the Net.

So peeps, you won’t be able to see me online over here updating on my blog till next Tuesday. I’m going to a land that forbid Blogspot and Facebook. Can you imagine that? To live without having access to Blogspot and Facebook? It is a sad case to me. For once, they (Chinese gov.) has opened up their gateway and let people browse blogspot, now they are blocking it again. Even YouTube also can’t get over their gateway. Sad huh!?

So, see you after Monday.

Bu hooo..

Last chance for me to scrap tonight and share about it tomorrow before I go off to meet hubby on Thursday morning. Not like this will be the end of my scrapping life, it is just that I’ll be away for the weekend without my scrapping stuff.

Guess what, I’m actually looking forward to it, that I can get away from my boys :p I’m missing my scrapbook more than my boys.. something must be wrong with me. I know I’ll be missing them when I got there, but as for now, I’m happy that I will have a “small vacation” away from them. >:)

Here is another layout using the Delight kit from Scrapbook Deals 4U. I did this layout within an hour, super fast huh!? Not following any sketch, but just go according to my mood and the colors of those photos. I’m getting the blue, green and chocolate from the photo, adding some red flowers. Love the kit.
