Hello friends! Just stopping by to share the latest wood additions to my collection! :)
The salad spoon and fork set will be relegated to the kitchen but the wood slice chopping board will be an addition to my wood prop collection because who buys a wooden chopping board and "scars" it with cut marks right? *LOL*
I find it extremely fun to disassemble my happy mail bits and reuse them in "my style" to create a new project...like today's up cycled treat bag. :)
Sometimes we tend to stick to tried-and-tested ways when we create but it's when we try to incorporate something unexpected or different that we get a creative breakthrough. *winks*
Lots of fun elements here. ...:)
Last week I got some happy mail...which inspired today's Make Stuff Monday project- a decorated notecard from happy mail bits and the scrap pile. :)
So my sister went with me for the Sephora x KVD event featuring their new foundation since she wanted to buy a foundation.
They chose a shade that was two shades lighter than her exact skin colour so she looked like Snow White next to me. *LOL*
My sister does a lot of outdoor sporting activities in the sun so she is naturally on the tan side...while I'm the homebody with fairer skin. But not that day. *winks*
Happy Wednesday friends! Today I'm sharing happy mail from a dear friend! :)
And its contents! :)
Happy International Women's Day!
We haven't been to town for some family fun on a weekend ever since 2020 when the pandemic started. Since my sister and I were attending a Sephora event, we decided to bring the folks along and made it a family day in town! :)
And yes, we had lunch, afternoon tea and dinner out...which was a happy day since I didn't have to do any cooking!!! *high fives all around*
The folks were pretty excited to eat the $12 carrot cake at The Marmalade Pantry. Check out the fake smiles! *LOL*
A really quick layout because I used a pretty and colourful patterned paper for the base. Tried to slip in as many bits and bobs to add texture and interest to the piece.:)
Happy weekend friends! :)
Love a super quick project using paper scraps from a previous project....here's this week's super quick decorated glassine bag. :)
Fussy-cut roses, text paper, map paper, packaging and washi tape.
I was tempted to add more stash...but simplicity is elegance right? *winks*
Happy Wednesday friends! Just sharing today's eye drawing of the day. As usual, it was a race against time to get it done before I lost daylight. It has been rainy and gloomy for the last few days.
It's a brand new month...let's get stuff done! :)
Back in late December, I spent a day out with mum...just the two of us...:)
We took a train to a suburban mall (masks were still mandatory on public transport) because that was the day the kitten was hiding in the undercarriage of the car and refused to get out. *LOL*
We went for teaner at Tim Ho Wan (dim sum)...and then we went shopping...
We also stopped by Sephora and the sales rep at Benefit Cosmetics taught my mum how to fill up her brows.
Kind of the usual mist mash of stash and packaging materials. Of late I've been having fun with paper tearing to add texture and interest to my projects...can you tell? *winks*
It's been a while since I did a decorated gift bag and matching box set....:)
So I went to the art supply store to replenish and buy some new coloured pencils the other day. They were packaged in this glassine bag...which you know I had to decorate immediately...*winks*
Went in with some packaging, paper scraps, stickers, doily and washi tape.
Fussy-cut glittered paper blooms for the focal point...:)
And here is my quick decorated glassine bag project all done. :)
Enjoy your weekend friends!
