Sweet Child of Mine aka My Sweet Child

My Sweet Child

I had a great weekend and everything are just well planned, I managed to get this layout done last night with the help of my girl. She helped me by putting all those buttons for the flowers and I said "Thank you honey", she replied back "Ta you Mommy" oh wow...how nice isn't it? She is now able to speak in full sentence bit by bit like "Daddy where are you?" "Mommy eat" and a few other words, she is progressing well. How time flies...

Well on to this layout, it was a picture of...who else? my girl and here she is playing with the plates, saucer, spoon as an act that she is cooking. Love those little hands and face...

I put the tittle on top of each other...so that my layout is not too crowded with words since it is already crowded with flowers and the patterned paper.

I love the gate and flowers that I punched on the green Dear Lizzy paper

I love the white space and decided to put a few butterflies, Artisan Elements - Circle used as photo corner.

I used a patterned paper from Me & My Big Ideas Specialty Cardstock Cartonne Special and cut them into half according to the patterned (and I put foam dots) and pasted them on the cream base cardstock, and the other side of the patterned paper I used to punched my butterflies and I also used as a background of the picture above (the purple dots). The papers stack are totally awesome and got it few months back and I realized I haven't even used it. I punched the gate using Martha Stewart puncher as well as the flowers on the green Dear Lizzy patterned paper and I put foam dots so that I have a 3D like view and also to create dimensions. All the Prima flowers are pasted using foam dots so that it is not totally flat.

Material used: Me & My Big Ideas Specialty Cardstock Cartonne Special, Prima flowers, buttons, MS punchers, AC thickers, MM aplhabet stickers, plain cream cardstock and Artisan Elements - Circle.

Cute, Lovely, Darling and it is you....

This layout was abandoned by me a couple of days back and I managed to finish it last night.
I did not put big title for this layout, this time around it will just be those words in the layout as my title. Messy as it can be, lots of embellishments here and there...


Material used: Gemstones the Crown Jewels of cardstock, DCWC Whimsy stack, Prima flowers, handmade flower and leaves, lace and pearls chain from the local art store, Echo Park patterned paper, Dear Lizzy patterned paper, MS puncher, acid free paper strips, green crochet lace, DCWC Bossom + Butterflies chipboard embellishments, Me + My Big Ideas patterned paper, blue twine and MM blue brad.

Sneak peek of my ATCs

These ATCs soon will traveling to other scrappers for a swap....yummy? no?

Early Christmas Gift!!!

the colour, the box, smooth glass trackpad, the smells, the solid surface, the smoothness of the keypads and everything...

Perfect Pout

Oh! it is Monday and it is the most lazy days of the week. This one was created over the weekend and it is something simple and I used some of my Studio Calico kit in here.

Those words are from Collection Elements and some are typed.

I love how my uneven ribbons are put together.

Love the hidden title as it was hand sewn using a glitter like thread in maroon.

I am jumping up and down as my shipment from Studio Calico has just arrived and it contains a lot of kits, embellishments and patterned papers.

I have my Classic Kit/Napa Valley, Add-on Patterned papers and a lot of embellishments, Jenni Bowlin Ink Pad and many more.

Thanks to Sasha for introducing me to Studio Calico. Till then happy scrapping, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and thanks for dropping by.

Doilies from Leeann

I received another package today, it is my Etsy order that I have made a week ago and I am so happy! Thanks to Leeann! for the free gift as well!

A Cherry On Top

I am so happy when I received a call from the mail room informing me that I have a parcel to be collected. Here is what I have ordered earlier, just trying on my first order on Martha Stewart punches (buy 2 free 1) and Tim Holtz dies (this time only 2 brands). It is so much cheaper to buy online and I am awaiting for more boxes to come.


Thanks to Nadhrah for recommending me to buy from the above manufacturer. By the way, they also enclosed some tips on "maintaining your paper punches" - cool!

you light up my life

I did this layout over the weekend and I just love the colourful embellishments on this layout. It is a photo of us together while spending our weekend at Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur. I really love the Martha Stewart patterned paper it is just so lovely. This time I did a lot of layering, used some fabrics at the bottom of this layout, buttons here and there, colored, punched, misted and etc.



Enjoy looking and happy scrapping.

Altered bird cage for you

I altered this bird cage for a dear friend and I am so glad she likes it.

2 days with Julie Van Oosten

I had a blast in fact we had a blast last week with Julie Van Oosten. I don't regret at all attending for this class since her techniques and knowledge that I've got from her class totally awesome and brilliant! We keep on saying "I love this! I love this!" while doing our tri fold frame and of course there are so much of laughter, jokes, foods and so much fun! All of us are looking forward for our next art class and we can never forget Julie Van Oosten.

Thanks to Sharon of Scrappingville for organizing this for all of us and here are some photos taken during the classes.

1st day with Julie

yours truly with Julie on the 2nd day

This group created an art tiles for Puan Sri Wendy Ong for her birthday

group photo on our 2nd day

1st day we created this tri fold frame

and these make and take, everyone did their own amazing spools

this is what we created on our 2nd day of class

I would like to thanks Naddy and Puan Sri Wendy Ong for the photos. I also meet up with new scrappers and talented artist on these 2 days, what an awesome experience. On another note I strongly recommend you to go if Julie happened to be here again in Kuala Lumpur. Her techniques are totally out of this world and simply vintage, earthy colours and classic. I will never look at chipboard the same way again. Please visit Scrappingville if you interested to get her Collection Elements.

Thank you for dropping by and have a good week ahead.
