The story about the green piece of cloth...

So the other day, I totally "sold" the wonders of a green piece of cloth to my niece S. First, I tied it around her shoulders as a cape...then around her waist for a skirt.... After that, I wrapped her doll in it and called it a "baby"....

Her face says it all eh? She was sooooo happy with her "baby". Kids are easy to entertain when they are two! *LOL*

I'm playing along with the team over at Scrap Africa as this month's guest designer. Come play along! :)

Never a dull moment when these two are around...*winks*

You are know how entertaining kids can be...there's never a dull moment when littlest nephew J and niece S are around. :) The 4 year old recently discovered the merits of using his baby sister as "leverage" to get his fabulous aunt [aka me *lol*] to comply to his little whims....

"Gu Gu, Sophie wants to [insert things he wants like watch a cartoon, go to the playground etc]....."

It is hard to say "no" when they just look so cute together. He would hold her hand and they would go down the slide together...[All together now, "Awwwww..."] *LOL*

I had fun with my Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces on this layout. They were all coated with a layer of gesso first.....
1. Coloured with Faber Castell gelatos
2. Covered with a thick layer of Liquitex glass bead gel
3. Painted with Daler-Rowney acrylic gold paint

Playing along with Sketchbook 365 and Scrap Africa.

P/s: Happy weekend friends!:) I would love for you to come play along with my guest Ashley's patterned paper challenge and LESSology Challenge #29: Birthday Party :)

*Edited* This layout made Top 3 at Scrap Africa! :)

Old world charm tea rooms, glitter and lace...

There's something appealing about old world charm tea rooms. Like the Hopetoun Tea Rooms at The Block Arcade in Melbourne. With its incredible array of delightful treats. A visual feast for the eyes and a calorie-laden one for the tummy...*LOL*

Lots of glitter under the lace..And can you tell that it's not one big piece of lace...but carefully pieced together pieces? 

The glitter, pearls and butterflies are supposed to help to distract...it is called "scrap"booking right? *winks*

Playing along with the challenges at Scrap Africa to use chipboard and the sketch at Scrap Around The World.

P/s: Come play along with my guest Shahrul's stitching challenge!

Bandage buddies

Meet the bandage buddies...my niece S and nephew J. Apparently, the kids love the sympathy they get when they have a boo-boo or two. In this case, the kids were attacked by some mosquitoes...and grandma didn't want them to scratch the bites...*LOL*. 

Just a fun layout for my guest designer stint at Scrap Africa. We are playing with postage stamps...can you spot mine? Come play along! :)

A crazy Saturday!

So I had these two [3 year old nephew J and 1 year old niece S] for most part of Saturday. It was crazy! They really worked me like a horse. Literally! Apparently, "riding" on Aunt Y and falling onto the bed for the hundredth time is always fun! Let's just say the hips got quite a bit of a workout. *LOL*

And we had a crazy time with my phone camera! :) 

I was inspired by the chevron challenge at Scrap Africa and the sketch at Creative Scrappers.

Supplies: Basic Grey patterned papers, Crafter's Workshop template, Golden fiber paste, American Crafts thickers, EAD Designs stickers, Jenni Bowlin and Toga letter stickers, buttons, trim, brown pen, ribbon, brads.
