I can’t believe it, in these two days, I received 2 issues of Scrapbook Trends magazines from Coconut Scrapbook, a stamp set from Making Mamories, a thank you card and a gift coupon of USD5 from Color Me Daisy and my orders of scrapbook stuff from Scrap-n-Crop! I’m just overwhelm!
I know I’m going to have fun doing all those scrapbooking pages and challenges with these things that I have. Inspiration from the magazines, new ideas that I can do with my materials and papers. It’s gonna be fun!
Yes, he’s got attitude problem that I hope will eventually turn into good attitudes with good intention and good habits.
Jornal: Yes, you do have an attitude. You are a problem solver with an attitude problem. Normally you won’t settle with your brother’s choices, or any instructions from those adults at home. You won’t settle with mommy’s instructions. You have an experimental attitude. A challenging attitude, one that often challenge anything that anyone said. I hope all these attitudes of yours will eventually turn into good use and habits.
I’ve embossed two butterflies and a heart chipboard.
This is not a page that I put up in an hour time, it took me two nights to finished it off.. well.. actually a few nights, other time was just being stagnan or thinking of what to do with the page.

I did some doodle on the flower which is being cut out from a pattern paper. I’ve used gold and black pen. Did some stamping too, using Maya Road swirl stamp.
While you are here, do check out Color Me Daisy “Farewell to summer online crop” for the weekend from my blinkie on my side bar.
TFL and have a great weekend!
did take a photo of the layout, it is a pretty simple page with little embellishment. I’ve used Coconut Scrapbook’s July and August kit, some errows and swirl stamp from Maya Road and American Craft sponge letter stickers (I just love AC letter thickers! They are so easy to use!) and Urban Lily stamp. I did some embossing on the heart chipboard that I cut out from chipboard.

Did one (no, actually two) layout and a card for some more online challenges. It is really a good way to get my scrapping and also get me started with a page.
This is my first try out to use sewing machine on a layout! Look at the border, first I did that by drawing a line and poking holes on it, but then later I’ve decided to really sew on it. I purposely made the lines not straight *grin*
This is little Mer so engross in playing withe magnetic drawing board over in my sister’s place in Hong Kong. He can do that for quite a long time, maybe half an hour, without distraction!
Here is a card that have circle theme and can see bit of the inside. A very simple card to me.
Here is the 2nd layout:
which is for a jounaling challenge over in SoCalScrap, scraplifted from Scrapbooks.etc magazine.

I’m so lazy to write today. Tomorrow we’ll have a holiday over in our state, so I’m actually in holiday mood now.
I know.. I’m using back Pamela’s sketch for this layout again. It is just so easy to put on a collage of photos and it is just so happened that I’ve developed some in smaller prints for my son, so here it is, Cal over the years. He didn’t smile a lot as a baby, normally the one who teast him laugh instead of getting him to smile. To me he is also lacking of hugs from me, since he was just over one, I was having my 2nd son and thus I seldom hug or carry him around. Poor little boy. Sometimes I wonder if he would behave better if I didn’t have my 2nd son that early…
Jornal: Looking at these snapshot remind me how you’ve grown, how time flies, how many hugs that you need to show those smiles, how much love to get those confident and how much care for you to be strong. Somehow, I wish time stand still during these snapshot.

I’ve used: Jenni Bowlin edge cardstock, Dream street PP, Rose Moka small alpha sticker, Maya Road star chipboard, Basic Grey letter sticker and another type of font die-cut (didn’t get the name).
I think I’m getting addicted to online scrapbook challenges! I’ve done another two last night just for fun.
The card below is for Tamara scrapping recipe challenge:
Yes, I know it is still months away to Christmas, but I just feel like using that flower and wording from the Christmas kit of HOTP. Probably will put up for sale in my etsy shop later.
Another challenge I did was for a scrapbooking group in myspace which require to do a layout using only white, blue and green. So this is what I came up with:
I’ve used: American craft PP, Ribbon, chipboard letter thickers; HOTP PP; transparency from Coconut August kit and a 3D stickers.
I’ve a great news too, I’ve just found out that I’ve won the weekly challenge over in Color Me Daisy by doing their sketch by doing this layout!
Things I used: Scenic Road liberty PP, HOTP PP, some epoxy stickers, My Mind’s eye original journal tag.
Another layout is done for a sketch challenge over in Pamela’s place. This was when we were in Hong Kong Internation Airport and met up with all the 5 mascot of Beijing 2008 Olympic! How lucky we were! So photo session is a must!
I’ve convert the Olympic rings into flowers instead at the lower corner.
I’ve used Jenni Bowlin pink edge cardstock, Prima flower, American Craft letter thickers, HOTP hot pink PP and citrus flowers.

I think I’m getting addicted to online challenges in making scrapbook layout. I’ve done a page layout sketch challenge and the card scraplift challenge agian! These is maybe the 10th challenges that I’ve taken so far? I lost count. It is really a way to get me scrapping and get me started with my photos, as I get to limit myself with certain rules and placement of the photos and embellishment, I get to think inside the box sometimes, rather than let loose of my creativity and bog myself down in getting no where, it is hard to decide what to do with all those stuff that I have you know?
So, here is for Color Me Daisy weekly challenge on the sketch that they provided. I’ve used a mixture of patterned paper from different line. American Craft, Making Memories and Hot off the press. Embellishment from Maya Road (chipboard stars), Queen & Co. green felt, and the tag from a left over from Scenic Road (if I’m not mistaken), then there is this Bucks bunny that came with a shirt that I bought from the cartoon line!
I’m leaving the journal part empty, ‘cos I want to let my sis to do the writing, as these are her boys, I think she is a better person to write the journal.
(Oh.. I’ve to upload this fast to their gallery, else I’ll miss the chance.)
Next I did, or was it before that.. hmm.. I scraplift a card for the card challenge in SoCalScrap. It was so fun using the Rose Moka PP left over from my previous layout. The color is just so bright and make it a sunny card. I didn’t settle with one card, but I did two! Just fun to do so.
Here is a card scraplifted from Robin Redd’s card which she show on her online cropping class over in SoCalScrap.
Here is another one, just playing with the stripe patterned paper and the blue Prima flower.
My brother said these are not cards for adult, ‘cos I was teasing him if he wants some cards to give to her friend (which I hope is a girl).
Well, I don’t care, they looks bright and happy for me *grin*
Has fun using the Coconut Scrapbooking August kit again, have done another two layout.
Both are for some challenges online.
First one is Chatter box, notice the “h” is actually a “b”? Yup, I’ve chopped it off abit.
I’m also running out of “a” and “o”, so replacement is definitely needed.
As for the little birdie, I covered it with the same pattern paper but the reverse side of it.
Have used some gem stones on the bird’s eye and leave centers.
As for this one below, it is a mixture of all the things I’ve on hand, stickers, ribbon, chipboard, letter sticker (from Coconut kit too.) and left over blue swirl.
This little buy here actually went to change himself after knowing that I’m going to take photo of them. And guess what he came out with? All red!! Even the hat!! *LOL*
Thanks for looking. oh ya.. both patterned paper are from Rose Moka. Love its striking colors!
