Ocean

er

This week's song at Scrapping The Music is Beautiful Dawn...I used the word Ocean from the lyrics for my layout which features my second nephew, Ocean, on this third birthday two weeks ago. It is extremely difficult to take pictures of this cutie because he clams up in front of the camera...:(

Just a scrap of patterned paper (Cosmo Cricket), did a little sponge painting, fussy stitching (it took forever!), creative sticker piecing (to spell my title)...Come play along!

Hello

Hello! I'm the Guest Designer this week at Card Patterns, an awesome card sketch challenge blog...One of the first few places I've been playing at since I started making cards in March this year.

I had a lot of fun making this card using felt, tulle, doiley and some Prima flowers.. letter brads and a little handstitching...:)

Have a bootiful day

Have a bootiful day my friends! I'm fascinated by all things Halloween...we don't celebrate it in Singapore (read: no holiday!) and Halloween merchandise is generally hard to find..;( I love the dark eerie scary aspect of Halloween (appeals to my morbid side) and of course the treats...




So this is what I'm sharing with you today...a little signage I made...I used the web mask from Tim Holtz, then handstiched (yes, it took a long time)...the little felt pieces were from my local $2 store...I added stickles for some sparkle....







And some ideas for treats...Milk cartons painted black, a little bow, some monsters from Sassafras (added a little crackle paint in rock candy for some cool dimension), crepe paper and candy!

Hope you enjoy my little Halloween projects...continue with your Halloween blog party hop over at A Fanciful Twist...and have bootiful day!

* Edited* These cartons were featured on the Sassafras blog! :) Pin It

8.6.9

This week's challenge at Scrapping Out Loud is to use naked chipboard...yeah, no paint, no glitter, no ink...just bare...:) My layout 8.6.9 features my dad, mum & sister and a birthday cake....my sister was pretty dramatic as usual but it was actually my dad's birthday...these pictures crack me up! ;)

I used Scenic Route Paper (so sad about the whole liquidation thing) and Fancy Pants chipboard.

The best things

This week's challenge at Scrapping The Music is up! The song is You are the best thing....My layout The Best Things features my youngest nephew laying on my bed...daydreaming while staring at my chandelier...

I kept my supplies to a minimum on this layout. Some chipboard, mist, ribbon, stickles, black ink, glitter stickers and a black pen. I used the chipboard stars as a mask and then used them on the layout for some dimension. The layout is actually very sparkly with all the mist and stickles (which isn't obvious in the photo...:( Hmmm...I should really take closeup photos instead of making you imagine...LOL..

Happy Monday my friends! Wishing you the best things in life!

Just a quick note to my friends...Maggi and Cindy: Your happy mail was sent out today!

Laugh

I laugh a lot....(mostly at myself;)...a lot while watching tv/movies and reading blogs...How often do you laugh with carefree abandon? It's a great stress reliever and really helps you see the brighter side of life...:)

Check out my goofy face and laugh out loud!

Played with Prima papers and stamps on this layout! Also tried out the Rock Candy Crackle Paint (on the red roses)....LOVE the subtle cracks!

A breath of fresh air

It's midweek my friends...go out...have a breath of fresh air...have a great rest-of-the-week! :)

A 20-minute card using a piece of scrap paper (background) and some embossed stickers (yes, the flowers and butterflies are stickers!)...15 minutes was for poking the holes and stitching...:)

Cute! reveal and winner!

Hello! As promised (see yesterday's post), here's the Cute! reveal...the folded flap opens for some hidden journaling and there's a pocket under that for the pull-out card! And the winner is Maggi! Yay!

Thanks for playing along! :) This has been fun! I'm in the midst of organizing my scrap supplies so stay tuned for more RAKs! *wink*

By the way, scrapbooksetc.com has some awesome ideas for hidden journaling! Check it out HERE! Hope they inspire you! Pin It

Cute!

Supplies: Patterned paper: KI Memories (b/w background), Sassafras (photo mat) & Cosmo Cricket (border strip), Title stickers: American Crafts, Others: Cardstock, cork paper, stickers, white pen.

This week's challenge at Scrapping Out Loud is to create a scene with your layout. The scene must include at least 2 pockets/slots for hidden photos or journaling. The DT really did a great job on this one...you must go check it out here. I can't wait to see what you have hidden! :) My layout, Cute! features my two ShiTzus when they were puppies...this was when they couldn't walk yet...they could only crawl on their bellies...weren't they cute? Okay, they're still cute today...:) Mine is an outdoor scene using my favourite animal stickers..love those little monkeys!

So, where are my hidden pockets/slots? Hazard a guess and I'll send someone a little RAK which includes those monkey stickers and some other goodies!

Happy Tuesday! :) See you tomorrow for the reveal and winner!

This week's challenge at Scrapping the Music is the theme song from Gilligan's Island. I live on an island and thought that it would be cool to just document about the things happening right now...What's going on in your world?

Love these papers from College Press...decided to try circles on my LO...without taking out my circle cutter (lol)! Freehand! Don't look too close! Come play along and have a great week ahead!
