Cards from sketches



Did these two cards from sketches provided online over at Creative Scrappers and Scrapbook deals 4u. It is much easier to do the card if there is a sketch to follow. For the first card, I’ve used all things from Color Me Daisy February kit plus one PP from HOTP. The 2nd card used their January kit plus MM paper pack bought from Scrap-n-Crop. Definitely going to send these cards out.

There is a site that offer really good and clear sketches: check out Sketch Maps. Sketch Maps even come out with a book that filled with all the sketches! Now.. hmm.. who would give me that?

Day 55
[no photo]

24 Feb: Nope, no photo for today. The day gone by like usual. I am in the internal audit team at work, don’t enjoy it except with the free food.

Day 54

23 Feb: Went to City Mall with little Mer on our way home ‘cos he requested to buy candy. Then I found my favorite in a store nearby – something fresh with yogurt! Yummy.. but later discovered that I shouldn’t have put hazel nut in there ‘cos it causes my allergy later the night with itches around my mouse.

Some great sites

Phew.. I’m discovering more and more new sites about scrapbooking, stores and online challenges sites! Can I really take these all in? There are so much going on. There are weekly challenges which shown very interesting layout and sketches, or scheme.

These are a few sites that I discovered today by some other people’s references:

Creative Scrappers
Dream girls challenge site
Beary Box
Your scrap stash
Scrap schemes

All these sites offer either of these: gallery, shop, forum with challenges, blog with updates. Need to keep this list with me in case I forgot, or probably I’ll put them up on my site bar.

Lantern

Did a lantern by corrugated board last night with the instructions from Scrappin Kids‘ online tutorial. Absolutely thankful for that, else I won’t have learn how to do the lantern show below. I don’t like the cutting part though ‘cos I’m using raw corrugated board from a big box and it is thick! I love the embellishment part where I get to decorate it as how I like. I’ve used part of the kits from ColorMeDaisy for this.

This is how it looks like when hang up:
I’ve only used 4 photos for this project, two of them which I wasn’t sure where to put in my album and two are newly taken during Chinese New Year. I think I’m going to use the picture above again for a layout, will see.



Didn’t use much embellishment on this project. I’ve just used up 2 pattern paper, some rub-on, some transparent tag from HOTP, flowers from Prima, eyelet from Making Memories and ribbon from Stamper corner.
TFL.

Day 53
[no photo]

22 Feb. (Sun): As usual, a fun day for the boys as the cousins came over for the evening. I’ve baked cake from ready mix flour. Going to do that again by steaming it instead of baking.

Day 52

21 Feb. (Sat): A day filled with celebration. It was yesterday for Ruchelle’s birthday, but we celebrated it today in sis’ house. Ruchelle only invited a few of her friends includes her classmates, over to her house. One thing for sure, she wasn’t sure how to entertainment her friends as they are so many, according to her. The boys enjoyed the cupcake and games but it was a tiring day for them. Went to have dinner with my family over in Tai Tong Restaurant, then headed off to in-laws’ place.

I some how lost count of the day and also get messed up with the real date, so I’m recording both right now.

Day 51

20th Feb.: The boys combed their own hair with gel today. A fun thing for them to do and also a way to get Mer to get changed and get to school.

Day 50

19th Feb: Went to Sutera Harbor to check out their Social membership, brought Mer together. He can’t sit still and wanted to have a walk around the jetty. Met Danny (an old friend from university) and Dr. F there. Didn’t thought I was going to have a good time there but I did. It was ok.

Day 49
18th Feb.: Actually forgot what special things happened today.

Day 48

Today Cal went to have his teeth filled. He has been complaining about toothache ever since Chinese New Year. Big sis is bringing him to the dentist. He was brave and very interested on what the doctor did to his teeth. A new kind of experience for him, too bad that I wasn’t around to take picture.

Day 47

The day started with tantrum from Mer for not wanting to go to school. So he ends up wearing his usual clothes instead of his school uniform. Just the usual Monday blue.

Day 46

We went to City Mall to grab some free goodies from Nestle. Got ourselves some ice-cream tubs and coco crunch.

Day 45

Valentine’s Day. Spent most of the lunch hours in 1Borneo just window shopping while PQ went to meet with her bf for Valentine’s Day and a movie. The boys had been playing with my camera, this photo was taken by Mer. Later that evening, we had curry fish head in Krishna for dinner before dropping by in-law’s home.

Day 44

Friday. I went to have a little shopping with colleague – Mary. Got myself a pair of new sandles to wear to work. The type that I haven’t been wearing for over a year. But I totally forgotten about wanting to watch the movie Benjamin Button.

Day 43

It is a Thursday. What had happened on this day? OMG! I forgot!! That’s the thing about taking photo every day, so that I can remember what had happened on that day.

Day 42

This is how my office table look like after catalog some audio visual materials.

Years ago..

Can’t believe what I found last night, something that I’ve totally forgotten about, something that I did during my senior high school years on Art Club, something that needed patient.


Yupe, I did those. Wonder if I’m able to do that again with my craft knife.
