Christmas is near

Count down everywhere.
Shopping Sale and frenzy.

for this year, I decided to make something for my sisters, lady cousins, aunties and some of my girl friends.

I can't tell you what it is yet. They may be reading this and it would spoil the surprise.

But I can show you how it looked like wrapped and how I wrapped it.
( I made 9 of these. hope I can make more for more of my girl friends.)



I used the usual paper bag for lunch and sandwiches, tied a ribbon and (my fave)stick "A Visit from Santa" card.

a Little Drawer

My small desk is good to use. Ive transferred my stuff to it and I'm using it as my office and scrapbook nook.

I have some pigeon holes here that are deep.
So I thought i'd make a drawer to keep more stuff in it and hope it'll be good.

here is how it looks like in my desk.




This is the front of the drawer (I love the fairy).


Here are the different sides of the drawer.




and this is how the bottom looks like.


I used thick Illustration board.
And A LOT of my scrap papers (yehey, finally i've put my scraps to good use)

I got to play with my stamps and see how they look like on papers.

thank you for looking.

happy scrapbooking.

have a nice day.

Kinder 2

i used a sketch i got from Zarah's sketches and inspiration.

Alterd Frame

Check this out.

Simple altered Picture frame.



How I did This?
-paint the sides of the frame with MM paint - chocolate.
-trace the frame on the patterned paper and cut.
-Stick the paper to the frame.
-sand and ink the edges of the paper.
-Paint over with Gloss finish.

simple and pretty, yeh?



Well this is actually a broken frame.
It broke in to 2 pcs.
I glued them back together with wood epoxy and sand the rough spots.

I was not able to take a picture of the front side before i altered it, but here is the back side of the frame and the front kind of a looks like this before it was alterd.




It is so neat and wonderful to be a scrapbooker.
I can turn broken stuffs like this in to something beautiful.

K2 Project Crossed with a Scrapbooker Mom.

My Kinder 2 daughter has homework project.
A Go, Grow, Glow food album, it says on the assignment page.
(Album? a bell ringing in my ears... hahahah)

So, my daughter and I made this little album.
She loved sticking rubons to the album.

its just a simple album.
My daughter is very proud of it, coz we made it together... and she gets to use mommy's stuffs. hahahahaha

JF (happy birthday) mini album

Hi! this is a mini album a friend of mine asked me to make for her.
She is giving it to her Bf for his birthday.


at last i got to use my lovely alpha stamp here.
stamp from prima i think. bought it from visual creations (mitch)


Its a good thing that the papers matches the pictures she gave me.
My friend needs this rush but has not printed the pictures out yet so I need to make the mini album without knowing what the pictures are.
the pictures here were given to me after i've finish most of the pages.



This page above is her favorite one.



I left a lot of pages without pictures and space for journals and birthday wishes.
she still has a lot of pictures to print out and include in to the album.
and also a lot of birthday wishes from friends and family.



ooooh! i just love crackel paints. and inking them for the added wow power.















hope this inspires you.
happy scrapbooking

Sweet

I love series shots. The happy funny faces my daughter makes while we are playing are just so adorable I print all the pictures and put them on a page. I could not pick out just one.



This is the focus picture that I've put on my page (my friends helped me pick it. thanks GNO girls). I cut out the flowers from a patterned paper and emboss them using foam pad and the round fat end of a pen (a technique i learned from one of the scrapfest demo by the scrappinmoms). The Chicky bird's outline (stamp from pink paisley) is embossed with White embossing Puffs by Ranger, filled it with twinkling H2O watercolor. I distressed the edge of the matting to give it some attitude.



I'm so happy and proud of this tag. I got to use my new embossing folder, yehey!
I embossed a die cut tag. I wanted the words to really show, so i inked it with white ink/chalk pad... but I was not quite satisfied so I heat embossed it with clear powder... I felt that something is still missing and i want to let the words cute, silly and kissable to show (coz that's what my baby is) so i painted it with twinkling H2O. Tada! finally something I like. hehehehehehe.



I love my baby, but the real reason that I've put the word love there is because i damaged that corner with water for the watercolor i was using.
Silly me. I put the water for my water color on the tin cover of my water color container... then I forgot that it still has some water on it and i covered my tin container... woosh goes the water dropped on this corner of my LO and some on the table and some inside the container. Good thing that i use only a little water for my water color.
so I dried the corner with heat gun then find something big enough to cover the damage and still looks good for my LO.



This is my new toy, distress crackle paint and the swirl chipboard (maya road, i split with Au). This is my first time to use distress crackle paint, so I ask my Cabbie for a demo and she helped me apply the paint on to my chipboard. I had fun watching the paint crack (shallow me).

Thanks for looking.

Vien's Drawing on my LayOut.

Hi. I made an Lo with My daughters drawings.

Vien loves to draw and I thought it will be cool to have an LO with her drawings on it. So I gave her a paper and my colored markers and asked her to draw something for me to include on my scrapbook. She drew a picture of her and me and hearts and star and wrote her name. She told me that she is happy when we are together like the drawing she gave me.







I cut her drawings, (coz 8x8 paper kinda fills up a lot of 12X12 space)and here is the LO i made. I painted her drawing with watercolor (so I kinda cheated, hehehehe, but its still her drawings i just colored it).

thanks for viewing
