Hello! I did not blog for the past few days, just plain busy or plain lazy...I should say. I have a few layouts to share and this one is a little bit messy here and there all because of the paints!

love that I used my sewing machine as a lines for this journal

some stamping

I used a plain cream white paper for this page and the background are paints and some stamping behind the flower and skeleton leave. That is all for now, I am hooked to Project Life nowadays and just crazy taking pictures and writing journal almost every day. Best thing is that I get to used all my stash and just feeling so happy to clear things up. That is all for now, happy crafting, have a great weekend and see you in my next post.

2012-02-20T17:00:00.002+08:00

Weekend well spent, get to do painting with my girl and I have done quite a number of ATCs as well besides, my Project Life is always on going every day. Today I am sharing with you a layout I did two weeks ago...

You can see some white colour paint everywhere on this page and I don't used thickers for the tittle this time, instead I used a nice wordings card which I bought from Whimsical in Bangsar Village. The papers are from my last month scrapbook kit, the rest are just from my stash. I have a couple more layouts to be shared, happy crafting and see you again in my next post.

2012-02-17T19:00:00.000+08:00

I did this layout many many weeks ago but almost forget to share in my blog. A very simple one, I used texture paste to create those branches in the background. The rest are just pasted here and there...

I have a few more pages to be shared but that can wait until next week. Have a great weekend everyone and happy crafting. xo

thinking

2012-02-16T16:30:00.002+08:00

A simple page that I did 2 weeks ago and some minimal stenciling with the background. I am sure you can see the polka dot background in white.

I told you, it is a simple layout and I hope to see you again tomorrow and thank you so much for all the comments. Happy crafting. Cheers

CRAFTERS

2012-02-15T14:00:00.013+08:00

I am not good in misting and I know the mist don't love me, I tried misting the plain card stock with the crafters workshop's stencil but it is disaster. Hence, I ended up using the disaster card stock as my background page. The colour mist did not came out from the hose, its just dripping on my paper instead.

Here is the result...

I love the bright colours of both ribbons, it adds more drama in this page and same goes to the disaster misting. I run this page through my sewing machine and you can see some stitching here and there. The green lace, ticket, thickers and butterfly are from my old Studio Calico kit.

I know this bunch of ladies loves crafting and playing with papers. The tittle should be "we are scrapbookers@crafters" since it is too long I decided to use just one word "CRAFTERS". Thank you ladies for all your inspirations and glad to have known them.

That is all for now and see you in my next posting. Cheers!

the little things...

2012-02-14T14:00:00.004+08:00

Here another page that I did using Lady Lane from Studio Calico, if you want to purchase this kit please go here. Check their Scrappin Studio blog for more inspirations and here is my layout...

Fun colours and this layout was accidentally mist with a dark colour red mist and to tone it down I put some gesso on top. Can't resist of not using that vespa stamp, even though it is not relevant to this page, but who cares. That's all for today and see you again in my next post. Cheers

she is my 1 and only...

2012-02-13T14:00:00.010+08:00

Happy Monday! to all and I had a great weekend, well spent and I managed to do a few layouts over the weekends and some are using the add-on kit by Studio Calico - Lady Lane.

The butterflies effect is from Studio Calico stencil and I also used the Studio Calico Mister Huey in white colour. You can see I did some sewing and the thickers are from old Studio Calico kit.

A layout with no flowers at all and I kind of love the outcome and I hope this will give you some idea to create yours. I have more to share and happy crafting.

feel the beat

2012-02-10T16:00:00.006+08:00

I have been busy with my journal almost everyday and I totally forget to blog yesterday. Furthermore, I have not gone for blog walking for so long and hopefully will start soon bit by bit.

"feel the beat" is my layout tittle for today, I have done this page last year but I keep on forgetting to share it with you guys here. A very simple page and a bit of blue misting, my girl playing her drum set at home.

I hope this layout, will spark a little bit of your inspiration to use those Tattered Angles, Ranger or any mists that you have been keeping all these while. Have a great weekend and happy crafting. Cheers

2 awards

2012-02-03T13:09:00.001+08:00

Thank you Miae for the sweet blog award that absolutely makes me smile. Thank you so much again for all the supportive blog love you have given me all this while.

"Liebster" is a German word meaning dearest, beloved or favourite, and the Liebster Award is sort of a chain letter among bloggers that's intended to showcase exceptional up-and-coming bogs (typically, those with 200 or fewer followers). There's no evaluation committee or formal award process for the Liebster, but in a way it's even nicer - it's recognition that a peer has noticed and appreciated your hard work.

Here are the rules:

1. Choose 5 up and coming blogs of fewer than 200 followers to award the Liebster to.

2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

3. Post the award on your blog. Link back to the blogs you have given the Liebster to so everyone else can pay them a visit.

And now I am sharing and passing on the award to five wonderful blogs that I am sure you will want to stop by for a visit:

1. Amelia

2. Liza Yahya

3. Marina Khong

4. Jaime Lee

5. Syam

Thank you Miae and please give my friends a visit.

The 2nd award I received from BanyPaul the Editor of Craft Corners, thank you BanyPaul and I have successfully put the award on the top right corner of my blog.

That is all for today and I hope I can share more layouts and projects with you in the future. Happy crafting, have a great long weekend and see you soon. Toodles!

Find joy in the journey

2012-02-02T13:00:00.002+08:00

Hello! Happy Thursday and here I am again blogging when the time permits...we was on public holiday yesterday as to celebrate the Federal Territory Day here in Kuala Lumpur hence, I get one day off and was busy running errands.

2012-01-30T15:30:00.005+08:00

Hi! Happy Monday and I had a great weekend spent with my loved ones and of course I am so looking forward for more public holiday and long weekend.

This layout was done at the end of October or may be in December last year, I can't really remember and I completely forget to share with all of you this layout earlier. Another simple page but I worked on my dress form and waved the twines to make it look like a dress was put on this dress form.

I also used my punchinella as a stencil to get those white colour circles and I weaved the pink twines around the alphabets. The journal was typed using my vintage typewriter and I pasted them. Love that I used the craft paper as a based of this layout. See you again in my next entry and happy crafting! Cheers

Last canvas for Scrappingville

2012-01-27T17:00:00.000+08:00

I had a great term over in Scrappingville last year and so much fun, laughter, techniques and stories shared with the last term DTs and Sharon itself. This will be a short post, here I am sharing with you my last canvas piece that I did for Scrappingville and I kind of went a little bit clean I should say, just some Golden texture paste, embossing powder and love those brown bricks for the background...eventhough it looks kind of odd to me.

Thank you very much to Sharon for the opportunity and thank you again for having us last term.

That is all for this week, I will be blogging again next week to share with you more layouts and in the mean time enjoy your Friday night and weekend. Happy crafting. xo

Amazing Jaz

2012-01-25T11:30:00.001+08:00

I hope it it not too late to wish my Chinese friends a very Happy Chinese New Year!

Last year October, I registered for a workshop with Jaz over at Papier, KL. She is known as someone that is very good in layering and her layouts really full with embellishments sometimes. From her class I learned a lot on how to do a layering and so on...well something new and totally amazing tutorial given. Thanks to Jaz and here is a photo of me and Jaz during her workshop.

That is all for now and come back for more as I have plenty of layouts to be shared. Happy crafting!

Stronger

2012-01-20T15:30:00.002+08:00

Another plain layout I did and I used the Prima bricks stencil and mist it for the background but you can't really see as I have accidentally covered it with the music sheet patterned paper and photo.

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese crafters, safe travel to all and have a great reunion with families and friends. Enjoy your long weekend and happy crafting. xoxo

Promise

2012-01-19T13:30:00.002+08:00

Hey, another layout which I created for the challenge over at Bird is the Word and the current word is "Promise".

A simple layout with just a clusters of blooms, laces and a bit of Hambly.

That's all for now and happy crafting. xoxo

3 Years Old

2012-01-17T12:00:00.007+08:00

This will be a very short entry, sharing with you a layout for her and again I used the Bo Bunny Snowfall collections and a bit of Hambly.

You will be seeing more of this collection coming in the next few days as I am trying to use all of the papers. Thank you for all your comments in my previous post and happy Tuesday. xo

Layouts and soon to be 3

2012-01-16T15:30:00.001+08:00

Hi! All, Happy Monday! everyone and as for me it will be a very lazy Monday...lacked of sleep as I only slept for 2 hours. My little girl not well yesterday night and I woke up at 2:30 am and later on can't sleep at all as everything was topsy turvy, she vomited and crying...poor girl, however by morning at 8:30 am she's all good.

I did not posted anything last week as I am so lazy to blog but on the other hand I was busy creating layouts with my scrapbook kit last year which I received lots of Bo Bunny Snowfall collections and was playing with it non-stop, I managed to do about 8 layouts with the kit and I have few more papers left to play with. The ribbons, buttons and flowers are plenty...I am trying to finish my supplies whenever I buy or received my monthly kit as that is one of my solutions this year ;)

Here the layout of her that I did, one day before her birthday...

I also met my swap buddies and we had a gift & ATCs swapped, it was fun! Thank you guys!
Besides seeing the houses soon to be completed added a big smilesss to my face. However, my main choice will be the one with my little craft room, cozy home just for "US", the other one is a big no no... Had shopping done recently but that is mainly for my hobby. Oh...also my girl birthday was last week and we had a small "do" for her at home before daddy's gone for almost a week. She kept on saying "Zara wants to blow candles" as she knows it is her birthday as we kept on singing the birthday song to her and she requested for a cake full with balloons and I managed to get it for her. I had in mind, if I can't get it for her I will just punched a few balloons using my balloon puncher and had it done like what Jaz had taught us before????;) where all the balloons was kind of going up to the sky! She is 3 this year, how time flies - well at this age I just want to treasure each memory and cherish every moment with her. I am very thankful to Allah The Almighty for the uncountable blessings that was given to me and hopefully this year will be a better year for me the whole family and for everyone. Nothing that I want and ask for, good health, happy and be thankful always.

Enough of my rambling, come back again tomorrow as I have about 9 layouts to be shared. Have a great week everyone, thank you for all your comments and thanks for stopping by. xo

you are my favorite

2012-01-06T15:20:00.000+08:00

I like it spell as "favourite" well whatever, as long as you guys understand what I am writing. Thank you for all the lovely comments on my previous post and I missed blogging yesterday. I completely forget to schedule my post, furthermore I have plenty of layouts photos that needs to be edited before I share them in this space.

My last Studio Calico kit that I ordered from Jamie is well used and I am so happy, it took me less than 1 week to whipped all the papers and that will be part of my wish for this year, to use up my old stash and kits. Back to the title and again another straight forward page that took me less than 20 minutes to get it done. Another old layout which is done in the middle of December last year. Everything you see on this page are from my very old scrapbook kit from Echo Park, their old collection which I forget what is the name and it is kind of bright and cheery.

can't help it, I just need to add a bit of machine stitching on this page

very bright stickers and papers from Echo Park, the lace at the bottom is from my swap buddy.

That's all for now and I will not be posting any blog on Saturday and Sunday you will have to check again on next Monday as I have LO to be shared. Have a great weekend as I know I will and happy crafting. xo

UKELELE

2012-01-04T13:25:00.000+08:00

Looks like most of you agreed with me that scrapping simple is the way to go...;)

Another layout to be shared today, all of you know that I have a girl and another thing is that she loves beating the drum, she has a real mini drum set and about 4 months ago, daddy got her a "ukelele" which she loves to play once in a while. I captured her playing the ukelele in this page, eventho she don't know how. Well, we had fun watching her actions.

A very straight forward layout and I am happy with the outcome, on another note I am busy creating more page using BoBunny Snowfall collections and they are just so awesome and beautiful papers.

Thanks for all the lovely comments and I have more LOs to share soon. Happy crafting. xoxo.

Marina "N" I

2012-01-03T14:00:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year! everyone and I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year's celebration. Mine was just spending my quality time with the family. I have abandoned this space of mine for the past 2 weeks as I am just too lazy to blog when I am at home doing nothing. I rather play with my girl and create an art or ATCs. Speaking of ATCs, our ATCs swap buddies have expanded and I am so glad that all the new members are enjoying this creative therapy.

I have gone through my stash couple of weeks ago and decided to clear them by doing all my LOs in a very simple and clean manner. I will do the mix media or something artsy when I have the time as mix media layout took a lot of my time - apparently. By scrapping easy I know I will use my supplies fast...

For the last couple of weeks I have been creating a lot of LOs and ATCs. Here is one of the layout I did last year, a photo of me and my swap buddy, my craft friend and we are DTs over at Scrappingville last year. I know and in fact everyone has the same opinion that this crafty world really brings us a lot of friends along the way from so many continents and countries. I am also trying to dig a few other photos of myself with my other crafty friends and I would love to scrap them.

Marina "N" I

Another simple page and no fussy techniques used, just cut and paste and I hope my friend - Marina is smiling looking at this LO. "Woi! women ok tak?"

On another note, I have done my thing for the swap that will be this coming 2nd week of January be it ATCs or the gift swaps. A shout out to my swap buddies, you know who you are???? I have created a lots of ATCs recently and for the gift swap it will be a white and nice bird cage with yummy goodies inside the cage! Don't we love surprise???

That is all for now and watch this space for more entries and happy crafting. xo

Liza & I

2011-12-15T11:30:00.010+08:00

Among all the photos that I edited and developed, there are quite a number of the photos taken during my scrapbook class and related. Here is one of it, sharing with you my photo with one of Papier's Designer named Liza.

a simple page again, did some sewing at the edges, I hand sewed the pink seam binding so that I get that pink ruffles, I purposely scattered the buttons all over the page like what I did before for my "Safe in my Arms" layout.

Many of you do not know that this lady loves cooking, baking, good in teaching, great scrapbooker, good in sewing, she owns quite a number of sewing machines - Elna, Jenome, Apple, Singer and coming is Bernina. She is one of my ATC swap buddy, she share ideas a lot, she is honest, funny and if I go on and on this entry will be long. Through this hobby I met a lot of creative souls and thank you Kak Liza and all for the friendship. Everyone has their own place in my heart and all of you are special in your very own way.

Keep watching this space as I have more layouts and posting scheduled to be shared and thanks for dropping by. xoxo

easy

2011-12-14T11:00:00.002+08:00

Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope you had a great weekdays so far. I am in the mood of sewing and has been sewing for the past few days. Another layout again and everything I used here are from my old scrapbook kit.

I kind of like the background paper as hardly use green to scrap and I also used bit and pieces of Basic Grey papers. I enjoyed creating simple layout nowadays and it keeps me going and without even have to think hard on how much paint or what medium to add and so on. Feels so good to have used my old collection of scrapbook kit.

Thank you for dropping by and happy crafting. Toodles!

Safe in my arms

2011-12-13T11:00:00.001+08:00

I was digging all my scrapbook kits and I am glad that I managed to get some scrappbook done, not all but some of the papers are being used...sounds good enough for me. I also developed quite a number of photos recently and there are more reason to scrap. Here sharing with you a layout I did using Nantucket collection from Pink Paislee.

A very soft colour page with a very minimal embellishments and I kind of like this simple page. It took me less then 20 minutes to have this page done. That's all for today and thank you for stopping by and happy crafting. xoxo

Time

2011-12-12T15:30:00.005+08:00

Another new page I did over the weekend and I love this craft paper...just suitable with any patterned papers and colours.

isn't this craft paper nice...


as usual my girl wanna be seen in this pic, at least part of her...

Try doing your layout on a craft paper if you haven't done so, the colour are just superb. Thanks for all the comments over in my previous post and I hope to see you again in my next post as I have quite a number of layouts to share. Happy crafting and have a great week ahead. xoxo

our trip

2011-12-11T10:00:00.007+08:00

Another page I did on weekdays and this is so simple and I have now been using my many Martha Stewart punchers that I have in my collection. For a layout like this, using punchers and minimal embellishments are just enough. I will post more...thanks for dropping by.

Turns 2

2011-12-10T18:00:00.000+08:00

*picture of my girl early this year, insisting on blowing the candle again after taking her bath.

Happy Saturday! everyone and I have been missing again as I am totally caught-up with so many things to do. My mojo for a layout is so low and I have not been scrapping last week but this week the mojo is back but with minimal creative juice. I realized that scrapping this style brings me loads of idea as it is very straight forward and I have done 8 layouts so far and I am happy with it.

I hope you guys have a great and creative weekend as I know I will be busy creating and sewing. Thanks for dropping by and see you in my next post.

More more ATCs

2011-11-30T17:30:00.001+08:00

Hello! All, been missing for many weeks as I have been busy spending time with families and relaxing without doing any scrapping except making ATCs. I am just happy as my mojo for ATCs are just pouring like water immediately after I came back from Liza's class on altered box for ATCs over at Papier last month.

I am happy that my swap group for ATCs has been growing not big but just ok and enough for us to gather once in a while catching up over lunch, chatting while swapping ATCs. It is so fun, as we do not see each other every week but at least once in a month. To all my swap buddies, you know who you are and your ATCs never fails to put a big smile to my face every time I look at them. I learned a lot of techniques along the way and every single ATCs is unique in its own way and it is always a "limited edition" one of a kind...hence grab fast!

On top of that, I have not scrapped a layouts regularly nowadays as my mojo for 12 x 12 are just gone for an early Christmas I guess. Managed to do about 2 layouts with a very minimal mojo in my head! but that have to wait until I have the time to share. Here I am sharing with you some of my ATCs so far...

It has a few groups...the divas group, the punchanella group, the birdies group, the secret/vintage diaries group, the body forms group, the seam bindings group, the colored metal group and the misc. group. I love all of the ATCs...

the dress form

*these one are very easy to do just a stamping and I sew a little piece of tulle to form a black netting dress added some white beads and I sew the edges of the ATCs with sewing machine using pieces of left over materials. Only one of the ATCs are different without a dress but a vintage button pasted on it.

the punchinella

*these I used texture paste and punchinella as a stencil and I coloured the ATCs using Inka Gold, Donna Downey and some rub and buff colours.

the seam binding

*I did these yesterday night while watching "Jack and the Neverland Pirate" with my girl, basically just a pieces of scrap papers, buttons, laces, flowers and seam bindings...look like a tag but a small version tags.

the divas

*those vintage photo I got it from the "darkroom door" and I cutted them nicely using my vintage photo cutter and added some laces, colours, old book papers, Inka Gold colours and I sew them using my sewing machine and you can see my black zig zag thread and I added title on every Diva...example Miss World, Miss Vain, Miss Sissy, Miss Photogenic and so on...

the coloured foils

*these are after Liza's inspiration and those are embossed using Ten Seconds Studio's dies. Easy peasy....

the misc

*these are a mixture of everything and very easy to do but look great in real life as most of it has textures...

the birdie

*these birds are done using a flower petals and the bird is from the new Sizzix dies and some stamping on the backgground and added some Donna Downey colours to the feathers.

*the secret/vintage diaries and copper foil

*I had so much fun doing these ATCs as it is totally vintage and I basically used the copper foil and hammered all the alphabets one by one to form a word or sentiments. As for the bird feathers, I used Melissa Frances flakes and it is kind of white/transparent in colour...so you can't really see the feathers.

Ok thats all for now, got to go and the weekend is almost here and thanks for all your comments on my previous post, happy crafting and see you in my next post. Toodles!

playing ball

2011-11-08T17:29:00.000+08:00

The weather here is raining every day hence, my mojo is so low and lazy to do anything crafty. Except a few ATCs and I do spent my quality time with the family. My girl is going to be 3 soon in the next couple of months and she is so talkative nowadays. Here a layout of her photos playing a ball in the evening at the local park. Well, when it rains the grass are wet so the field and she run and run until all her clothes are wet...giggling, laughing, yelling and everything, she has the energy of 24/7.

A very simple layout I did 2 weeks ago but haven't had the time to share, it was for some challenge which as usual I totally forget to submit and for which blog. I have more projects to share, lets see whether I will be blogging again tomorrow.

Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting.

fab...fab...fabulous

2011-10-21T15:00:00.001+08:00

Layout I did on Wednesday for a challenge but I can't remember from which blog. I used Prima flowers again and the rest are just my left over papers, laces, leaves given by friend, button, corrugated board, Kaisercraft butterfly and etc.

I blogged and posted my layout almost every day this week, hence I might not be blogging next week. However, it depends...if I have something new I will share with all of you. On the other note, I am busy doing book binding and taking orders from friends which turn out to be very good. If you guys interested to buy a hand bound book please leave me a comment. Thanks for reading and all the comments on my previous post and enjoy the weekend everyone and happy crafting.

sharing

2011-10-20T11:30:00.000+08:00

Here sharing with you another layout I did "last week" and I used the old p/paper, my last month scrapbook kit, red burlap from my swap buddy and my never ending stash.


The "S" and "M" sizes from my last month scrapbook kit

added paint dabber here and there on the page

What I love the most while doing this page is that, my last month kit has this "Jenni Bowlin" pink paint dabber and it was my first time using it and I kind of like it as I dabbed dabbed dabbed the pink paint here and there, you can see it on the page. Another one is the "S" and "M" sizes logo, which was in the kit as well and here in the layout I used it to differentiate - the baby (in S size) and my girl (in M size).

Thank you for looking and thank you for all the lovely comments and do come back for another layout tomorrow. Cheers

Smart Cookie for Creative Scrappers #178

2011-10-19T15:00:00.003+08:00

Hi! I am so happy as I managed to scrapbook every other day and my mojo is here to stay (as for now) what a fabulous time when I get to scrap (minus the disturbance). My layouts lately is more to putting layers and playing with flowers...I find it good as I get to used all my prima flowers stash that I have been hoarding for ages.

Off late, I found it hard to get my creative juice flowing if I want to create a layout using medium/paint. Hence, my layout lately is just playing with papers and layering and this one was done last week and simple indeed. I wanted to create a va va voom banner, instead I opted to something simple and easy. I cut the flat bottle caps into 2 and glued - thats it!

I am going to submit this to {Create} Make It Happen challenge blog and that is all for now and thanks for all the lovely comments and come back tomorrow as I have another layout to share.

Canvas and a card

2011-10-17T08:00:00.007+08:00

Sharing with you a card I did last month from my DT kit left over and it is just a simple card, not a va va voom one ;)

On another note, all the DTs over at Scrappingville had the opportunity learning with Sharon on how to do this little girl canvas piece. What an amazing way to create this with loads of techniques, mist, color, fun and laughter.

That's all and thank you for looking and happy crafting...

Scrap-it-Lah October Challenge

2011-10-13T15:30:00.000+08:00

Hello! Everyone, I have been busy scrapbooking and book binding for the past few days. This time around no paint used may be on my 3rd layout...a bit of Jenni Bowlin paint dabber. I managed to do this page with a lots of disturbance in between. I have been feeling under the moon or should I say dark cloud lately but now I am getting much much better. Comfort, hugs and kisses from the people around me makes me feeling good again. However, sadness helps me a lot as I scrapped non stop for the past 3 days?? which is absolutely weird and it is a rare situation for me to produce 3 layouts in 3 days. Whatever!

This post is for the layout I did for Scrap-it-Lah October Challenge. In this layout, the initial photo used was ruined by the Tombo glue and I ripped it off and finally got this photo of us (I know I have been using that photo often) but can't help it that is the only photo that is suitable for this page at that time.

The October challenge is to include:-
1. Old book paper, music sheet or something similar
2. Fussy cutting
3. Hand-stitching using embroidery floss

Here is my take...

this time the title was used by doodling it on some pieces of papers and over lap it with my journal...no alphabets thickers this time around.

As mentioned earlier, the truth is this layout was pasted with my DD's photo at first and at the end of my process completing this page, I dropped some tombo glue right on the photo and on her hair and there you go...I ripped off the photo and got this photo of us as a replacement.

I used the music sheet, fussy cutting done and as well as stitching by hand using embroidery floss.
That is all for now and come and join this month challenge over at Scrap-it-Lah and see for yourself all the lovely pages created by their DTs. I have more layouts to share, have a blast weekend, because I know I will and see you in my next post.

Scrappingville - MEMORY

2011-10-06T15:15:00.002+08:00

I am back...after missing for almost 2 weeks. I have been meaning to share this with all of you a couple of weeks ago but I just don't have the right time to blog about this layout. This layout was done for Scrappingville last month, as I mentioned before my kit is fulled with yummy goodies and I just don't know how to start. With all the supplies and my two hands and a little bit of creative juices, I managed to do this layout...

I used the bottle caps given, on this page

I played a lot with stamping and gesso.

I used the die cuts to make two big tags as the background of the photo.

loving the layering and dimensions I have created

the used of "kain guni"or burlap adds a little bit of vintagey feels to this page

I hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed creating and thanks for all the lovely comments on my previous post. I hope to share with you more when I have the time.See you in my next post.

Altered Trinket Box for LESSology

2011-09-29T18:00:00.004+08:00

Yesterday night, I wanted to play with my last month kit the Echo Park papers or this month kit Pink Paislee Nantucket but...upon opening the boxes I immediately changed my plan...I straight away took a cigar box that I have collected many many months ago and altered the box a little bit...

I did not use any patterned papers - I only used laces, poms poms, some tussle, spools, fur balls, bottle caps and a lots of buttons. Thanks to Yvonne Yam, Amelia and Marina for the inspiration as they have done a stupendous "altered trinket boxes" and my eyes are wide awake looking at their boxes.

Here is mine...

Look how crazy I am, I put loads of buttons on top of the box and it is so colourful

the blue poms poms kind of not matching...well who cares, it is an art

aha...I put my ATCs for my swap buddies this Saturday :)

I used bottle caps as feet of this box

can you see the bottle caps?

this is the original cigar box

Since the colour of the box is so bright with those cigar papers, I decided not to put any paint and papers. Seeing those buttons, it reminds me of one incident - where my girl ended up in the ER in the middle of the night, screaming and the rest is history. This box will be going to LESSology challenge. Thank you for looking and I have a card, a canvas project and a layout to reveal. Till next time see you again in my next entry.

You and Me

2011-09-28T16:49:00.002+08:00

I am over the moon when the Pink Paislee papers came to me a couple of weeks ago...Pink Paislee Nantucket is so pastel and I love the soft colours. I have the difficulties of which one to use first and finally last Sunday I created this...and it will be going for Bird is the Word challenge.

A very simple layout this time, not too much paint used just a sprinkle of colours here and there. Kind of like my clean layout.

On another note, I had fun teaching last week over at Scrappingville and the jamming session with all the DTs over at Scrappingville just too awesome. Thank you very much to Sharon for the canvas session with you and we really love the techniques. The jokes, laughter, ghost stories and all of it...I am looking forward to more jamming in the future and love love love working with Scrappingville. When Sharon asked me "Yuzz is there any particular thing that you want for your next kit" I am just speechless, however I am fine with anything given to me so far. Syukur Alhamdullillah.

Lastly, have a lovely week ahead and I will share with you more when I have the time to blog. Cheers!

2011-09-20T16:00:00.004+08:00

Despite the neck hurting, I still had a good weekend, crafting with friends, class at SV, out for coffee and lunch and of course some rest. Went to the doctor and those pills really works well on me and thanks to my other half who is so helpful and understanding while I need some rest and not to forget my little girl.

I can't wait for 1st October actually, that day I will meet up with my swap buddies, scrappers, crafters and new friends may be. Can't wait for that day!

On to my layout, remember the previous sneak peek? Well, here I am sharing with you the final layout as I have been keeping it for few days without posting it to the blog. I used my last month kit for this layout, except for those papers strips and those background papers behind the photos are from my stash. The blooms, white lace ribbon, sticker on top "absolutely beautiful to me", the "S" label - those are from my scrapbook kit. To create the blue splashing colour on the yellow patterned paper, I just dilute the blue acrylic colour and dropped and splashed it randomly on the paper - that was it! simple and easy.

the "S" label is from my scrapbook kit, I was given with other label of sizes as well. What an awesome idea to put that in your layout. "S" in this page means, she is still my SMALL baby...forever my baby.

This layout is also going for BITW challenge, as their current word if I am not mistaken is "share". My title is "share" and in my journal there is also a word "share". That's all for now, thank you for all the lovely comments and advise and I really appreciate it so much and I will be blog hopping and visiting you soon. Cheers!

Layout for Scrappingville: time flies

2011-09-15T18:45:00.000+08:00

I forget to post this entry or have it "scheduled" yesterday as I have not attached any images, just the text was done. I sprained my neck badly on Monday and I am now in terrible pain TOTALLY! It goes to my head and the whole shoulder!!! Been to the doctor but she was late, hence I went home without waiting for her and I should be going again today. Too painful to go and see the doctor and my girl was very good, she rubbed my neck and massage my head yesterday night. However those little hands has no pressure, hence just a soft baby skin going around me - how sweet!

My apologies again for no posting yesterday, I will share with you below. Last night, despite the painful neck I managed to create one layout using my last 2 months scrapbook kit from US which are full with BG papers, Echo Park, pain dabber, bling bling, seam binding, lace, stickers and etc. AND yet I still have a lot more papers and stash left from those 2 kits. I can't wait to have a crop session with my swap buddies one day and have fun cropping, eating, chatting and comparing each other layouts. That will be so fun kan?

Without further delay here is the layout I did using the Scrappingville kit. Something different and loving the paint and the "paper tearing". The idea of doing my page look like corset has been lingering in my mind for ages and when I did it, this is what I get, broken, old or vintage corset...however love the outcome, I used 3 different patterned papers for this page. 2 patterned papers for the background and 1 for the flowers.

Thank you for looking and have a great long weekend since tomorrow will be a public holiday for all of us in Malaysia.

sneak peek of what I did last night...

2011-09-15T18:09:00.001+08:00

it is 90% done, I am yet to put some journal and I will share with you soon...

Antique vintage steel luggage

2011-09-07T15:42:00.001+08:00

I bet some of you know that I love all things antique and vintage.
I have seen the same thing while visiting my relative over Eid Mubarak and she put it under the staircase and hers is yellow colour and I forget to ask from her. After I am done visiting all the houses for "Raya" I went to the local antique store and found these beauties for sale and I just had to have it! I told my hubby that I want the red one and he said "take both, the green and red". So we brought it back home and my father is kind enough to have it clear sprayed at the local "car painting shop" and voila these are the antique vintage steel luggage that are now with me.

On top on that I have bought from the same shop two antique glass jars and few antique plates which are similar to my late mother collection that I have currently. Thanks for looking.

SHE

2011-09-06T10:00:00.000+08:00

I had so much fun creating this page totally, loving all the patterned papers used and that Jillibean thickers are just awesome and I added vintage wire around those alphabets.

I did some sewing and masked the background and the rest are just straight forward no special techniques used.

I think this layout I did for some scrapbook challenge but I can't remember, it was done a week before Eid Mubarak. Hope you guys like it as much as I do, happy crafting and thanks for dropping by.

our girl

2011-08-25T11:30:00.004+08:00

Hello! Everyone, Happy Thursday and I hope today will be brighter day for all of you and my apology for being so late on sharing this layout as I am busy with other things.

Here sharing with you a layout I did last week on Sunday and the paper is from Prima and some from my stash. I am trying to used my "ribbon guni"/"burlap ribbon" in this layout and a little bit of the seam binding (the red ribbon bow) and some other laces that I have.

some of my handmade blooms from Cuttlebug dies and laces

I swirled the alphabets/tittle with a vintage wire, laces from my swap buddy & from my stash, a little bit of patterned ric rac

I have to include my DD since she was there while I took the photos and she said "Mommy, Mommy Zara"

again, that is my girl!

and her little fingers holding and hiding behind the layout

I have a few more Prima papers waiting to be scrapped and I think I will (I think) and on another note I am so happy that my scrapbook kit for this month which I have received the last couple of weeks is filled with loads of Echo Park latest papers from CHA, Jenni Bowlin dabber, SEAM BINDING and few other goodies. Heaven...like Sharon said "treat your papers like GOLD" oh yes I will. I also received some parcels full with May Arts ribbons (17 spools altogether) and 16 rolls of varieties colours of SEAM BINDING!!! My other half said "so tonight you will be sleeping on those spools of ribbons?" grrr....

I am also collecting my scrapbook kit from Scrappingville tomorrow and yesterday night I managed to finished one layout and I will share with you guys soon and thanks for all the lovely comments on my previous post, thank you for taking the time to write and stop by.

If you love to read books like me I suggest you go and get "a stolen life" by Jaycee Dugard and "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua. That Tiger Mother was recommended to me by Sharon and I am glued, "a stolen life" I found about this book from the papers and I am always on the look out for new books especially true stories.

Lastly "Selamat Hari Raya" to all my Muslim friends and families.

just engaged

2011-08-22T16:01:00.000+08:00

I keep on forgetting to share this layout that I did 2 months ago...here is the simple layout for them as requested by the girl.

the tag on the left is empty so that they can write their journal later on

I misted the background but you can't really see in this image

same goes to the bottom page, I misted but you can't spot them either in this image

That is all for now a super simple page and I have one more layout to share which I did last Saturday, so keep coming back. Have a lovely week ahead.

love

2011-08-18T18:00:00.003+08:00

Hi! Everyone and how was your day?
I have been wanting to post this since yesterday but have to hold it until I get the green light. I did a layout from Prima paper - Madeline Collection, this layout is inspired by Sharon Laakkonen - one of the Prima's DT. She just had a blog of her own and please go and check out her fabulous work. I had no idea on how to create a layout using this paper and I checked on Prima's blog and I found her beautiful layout using the same paper and I kind of scrap-lifted her page. Thank you Sharon and here is my layout...

I used the Sizzix flower die and cut my canvas piece and misted with TA mist, can you see the blue, pink and brown flowers (the odd look flowers look like a stars)

can you spot my cabochons in a varieties of colours? In this layout, my flowers are mostly from Prima, Petaloo flowers and leaves and the canvas piece flowers. Thanks to my ATCs swap buddy in US for that "love" shape laser chippie.

I stamped the background of this paper with the images of bubbles wrap

Loves these orange and lavender jute strings, that blue flower misted and coloured with "Inka gold" in blue.

some close-up, the red "loves" are from a red foil and cut using Sizzix die. I even coloured my title with "Inka gold" in pink.

By the way, this is for Bird is the Word Challenge and their current word is "love". I always have problem putting title to my page hence this challenge is so good to participate. That's all for now, see you in my next entry and thank you for looking.

2011-08-15T15:21:00.001+08:00

Aloha! to all my blog readers and visitors. It has been ages I did not share any update in this space, last Sunday I managed to create one page for Bird is the Word challenge. My mojo was so low for the past few weeks - however, I managed to do one simple page with minimal techniques.

I used my "airmail" twine so that it will matched with the edges of that brown air mail envelope.

lovely bold red and white twine from May Arts. You should get this as it is different from the normal divine twine.

loving those Butterfly Kisses alphabets die

I was at Scrappingville over the weekend and we did some "jamming" - what a fun session. Over at Scrappingville, they have those papers that I used for the above layout, it is Basic Grey papers. I've got that paper last month but I only opened it and explore clearly after I am done at Scrappingville on Saturday. When Sharon showed us those Basic Grey papers and stuff, I was thinking - I think I have those. I used 3 pieces of Basic Grey papers for the above layout. On your right is a piece of different paper which I attached with a glue and sewed it to the main paper overlapping with my seam binding. On your left side (refer to the first photo) where you can see the word "LAW" and a big flower scribble on the papers with black background is another Basic Grey paper which I attached again using glue. If you want those pretty papers go and get them.

Thank you for looking and thanks a bunch for all the lovely comments over at my previous post.

2011-08-03T11:34:00.000+08:00

Happy Wednesday everyone! Another layout done last week, this is for the challenge over at Scrappin Studio. I really wanted to join all the scrapbook challenge that they have in all the blog land that I went into but it is just that I don't have the time. So here is a layout I did for my submission over at Scrappin Studio. You guys can visit their space and get those yummy Studio Calico kits and all other stuff as well. Talking about Studio Calico, I have like 3 kits un-opened and screaming to be scrapped!

Paper used by Prima, Madeline Collection which I bought from the local scrapbbok store. Here you go...

Thanks for dropping by and thank you for all the lovely comments and I will be visiting you soon. Cheers.

TODAY

2011-08-02T12:38:00.005+08:00

Hello! everyone and how are you? Today is our second day of fasting in the month of Ramadhan and I am adjusting very well, alhamdullillah ameen.

I managed to create a layout over a week ago for Bird is the Word challenge blog and I played with paint and paint, hands was all dirty by the time this layout was done. I even managed to do my own blooms and you can see those blooms are scattered everywhere on the page. Kind of like those red sparkling colours. Here you go my take for the word "today".

See you in my next entry as I have something to share and thanks for dropping by. Cheers.

Unmeasured Love

2011-07-29T14:15:00.002+08:00

This layout was done last week within 1 hour - which is quite long and I used mainly my DT's kit for this and now this layout is displayed at Scrappingville. Check them out if you are interested to attend any of their classes or better still go to their shop for some shopping spree on those yummy scrapbook stuffs.

Here you go, a simple layout and I am loving the border of this layout...the paint effect and gesso added some dramatic and hazy look for this page (at least for me).

If you like this layout come and join my class over at Scrappingville. Till next time, happy crafting. Cheers!

HOPE

2011-07-28T14:11:00.030+08:00

Hi! Everyone

Haven't had a chance to share any new entry after the last one as I was busy scrapping every other day...well you know my work is always WIP (work in progress) I hardly finished my layout in just one go...usually it should take me a couple of days or so. However on certain times I am done in a jiffy! I have about 4 layouts to be shared and in this entry are one of it.

Sharing with you a layout which I did for "Bird is the Word" and their word is HOPE. This layout was done last week but haven't had the time to upload the photos. It was a layout for someone I did for FOC and she mentioned she wants it simple and I don't know this is simple enough for her...well at least I tried. A couple of their layouts are waiting to be shared which I think I will in my next next entry. I hope they like it as much I do enjoyed creating the page for them. So here you go! (this particular sentence is my girl's favourite sentence to me)


I purposely put an empty journaling tag above so that they can write some journal later on.

Some flowers are given by my swap buddy and you know who you are...thank you Kak Ame. Can you see those two woven kind of ribbons/laces in red under the photo and white, cream and green scallop just on top of the 12x12 paper? those are vintage ribbons/laces...and I have a little bit more to use.

That's all for now and I hope to see you again in my next post and happy crafting. Thank you for your lovely comments in my last post and thank you for stopping by to look at my work and till next time. Cheers.

Bird is the Word Challenge Blog

2011-06-23T12:30:00.000+08:00

I stumbled upon this blog while browsing Nadia Cannizzo's blog yesterday and I straight away took up the challenge and created my own interpretation of the word "Admire" (or any form of the word such as admires). You can look for more info at their blog here.

I came out with a layout with some inspiration from Amelia and Mich. Both of them created their beautiful layouts yesterday using a Martha Stewart punches and I was thinking it has been ages I did not use my punches and why not use it for this layout. You know my punches are not sitting right infront of me and I forgot about my punches all the time - out of sight and out of mind. Thanks to both of them ;)

Just one simple layout with a little bit of layering and machine stitching (well you know me, I love sewing) on the photo, laces here and there.

my handmade blooms

the journaling has the word admire as well as the tittle

A very clean and nerd layout this time, I should say. Come and join the challenge over at Bird is the Word Challenge Blog and do share with us your layout. Thank you for dropping by and happy crafting.

you add so much joy and colors to our life...

2011-06-21T13:30:00.000+08:00

It has been a while I did not participate in TCR challenge. Yesterday night, eventhough I am mojoless I tried my level best to do one layout for TCR and I did. Not so happy with the outcome however I would love to share with all of you.

I wanted to add a simple title but can't help and what a mess of alphabets...not very happy totally. Thanks for all the comments on my previous post, enjoy your week ahead and happy crafting.

Scrap-it-Lah : June Challenge

2011-06-20T17:00:00.001+08:00

I have not updating my blog for quite long and I totally missed scrapbooking...

I had a fairly great weekend with my "two peas" in a bucket :) at home (you know who else?...my soul-mate and my girl). Spending time doing some simple gardening, out for a meals, celebrating father's day, having a tutti frutti time together, chilling at home, cooking together and we had so much fun spending time together. On Sunday morning before anyone busy to start their day, I get to do some scrapbook alone...without anyone disturbing me...ok just a few disturbance by my dear daughter...like when I was talking to the paper and she will come and say "what happen?" that is so cute!

Back to the topic, I haven't played in Scrap-it-Lah challenge blog for so long and last week I tried doing a layout for their June challenge. Before that, had a chat with my DH and he said he can't live without us both...well why not scrap my photo with Miss Z.

Here is fairly simple layout done without any "paint", the paper is from my old Studio Calico kit last year and it is a beautiful paper...I totally like it and I try to blend my embellishments with the paper...by adding some sewing here and there, lace doily and paper doily...enjoy the pictures and thanks for dropping by.

Ohh...by the way, about the paper...I have been following Michelle Alynn Clement's blog since last year and apparently she is the one who designed the paper. Handmade by her using collected vintage bits, lots of paint and ink, lovely vintage found linens and a whole lotta hand and machine stitching + some love.

look at those threads and vintage buttons

my handmade bloom and some vintage buttons

Added gauze roll and machine stitching and the title is pasted with a glue and machine stitching. The font is from Sizzix Endless Love dies.

Also a shout-out to Leeann Pearce...I did it! did some machine stitching without cutting the thread and I drag the thread from the top of the layout to the bottom and around the page...that is Leeann trademark. You might want to see those images above and look at my yellow thread it is everywhere in the layout.

Sweet

2011-06-17T13:41:00.004+08:00

I am now on a very slow mode for blogging, I am on the lighter side since I don't have mojo lately. This layout was created last month for Papier.

For more info on this layout, please head over here. Happy crafting and have a good weekend.

YOU

2011-06-02T12:30:00.002+08:00

I am swamped with so many things to do currently and due to that I haven't had time to update my blog. So here I am and we are now in the middle of the year June 2011. This entry will be a short one and I would like to share with you some simple layout I did for the local scrapbook store here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia...Papier. Thanks to Macy for the opportunity and I am glad to be the Guest Artist for June 2011.

This is the layout of my dear daughter and a little info on this layout: I randomly coloured the background with a turquoise blue acrylic paint. The laces are punched from MME patterned cardstock with Martha Stewart border punch. The two Prima flowers are white in colour and I mist both of them with yellow and blue colour. Pink cabochon flower pasted on top of the orange doily and as for the title I used Butterfly Kisses dies.

Thanks for looking and have fun crafting.

I haven't been scrapping lately just because I don't have a mojo visiting me for the past 6 days. However, I managed to create one layout and this time I did not use any paint at all. I used the K & Co. die cuts which all the flowers, birds, bees and etc are all pre-cut - all you need to do is just paste them anywhere you like. That is what I did for this layout...it took me 3 days to have this done. Why? I scrapped and I stopped and I continued the next day and I stopped...that is what happened when I don't have a mojo.

My girl is into the music since she is about 9 months, if you follow my blog long enough I have scrapped her photo previously beating the drum. She is definitely following her daddy, we used to do a jamming session at home just the three of us and it is fun! Daddy got her a set of mini drum last month and the moment she saw the set she screamed and I still remember her face. Here is the layout of my dear daughter beating the hi-hat and thanks to Chris for the tittle.

Thanks for looking and for all the comments on my previous post and have a good day!

Over at StuckOnUSketches, they are having a monthly challenge and for this month challenge, the sketch is done by Ness

I managed to create one on Monday night and here is my take, not so happy with the outcome - you know lately I love to play with paints/colours instead of layering patterned papers in my layout. Here is my take...

Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting.

I did this layout using a mix media again...in love with this technique and all the doilies used in this layout cut by yours truly, I love all the doilies dies...just perfect and so nice.

The Color Room # 58

My take and enjoy the pictures...

@23 months
I splattered the paint everywhere and added some gesso

flowers are glued everywhere instead of flocking them in one place

machine sewed the photo edges again, isn't this doily nice? no?

this doily as well

I love the dimensions that I have created in this layout

another doily

Thank you for looking and have a great week.

and here is my take....

I enjoyed so much doing this layout, took me almost an hour to get it done last night and sewing on the photo is just gonna be my craziness at this moment and again I used the texture paste and some gesso and coloured the background paper in brown randomly (which you can't really see it in this photo)

I love all the dimensions that I have created in this layout

can you see the brown paint?

the journal was typed using red ribbon instead of black...something different

thanks for the flowers Kak Ame (only 1 bloom is from Prima)

don't you love the ruffles skirt? hand sewn by me

she is my everything...my DD, Miss Z

That's all for now and thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Hi! Thank you to all the comments on my previous post, I truly appreciate all of it.

I did one layout yesterday night, the sketch is from Pretty Paper Petals but I am not entering their blog challenge since I don't have any of their Pretty Paper Petals product to use in my layout. The sketch is designed by Nadia Cannizzo for Pretty Paper Petals. The sketch:

My take for the above sketch. This time and may be the next time, I am trying hard not to sew the edges of my layout actually I am itching to sew the edges...

layout of my DD, Miss Z (a clean look layout for me)

I sew the edges of the 4R photo, I purposely let the machine run so that I don't have a straight lines of thread

same goes to the laces, I sewed using the black thread instead of pasting it using glue. I used 2 laces - white and soft green and the bottom one is muslim cloth twirled and sewed.

love the Donna Downey flower stamp and I mist the paper a little bit (can you see the muslim cloth which I twirled and sewed)

IRL, this layout has lots of dimensions

Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Thanks for all the comments in my previous entry and this will be a short entry.

Layout was done last week on Thursday and I went a little bit crazy with the lace, trims and some fibers. Not to forget some texture paste went wild as well. I lost my mojo while creating this layout however I still want to submit and share my totally disaster layout with all of you.

This layout is for Show us your stuff challenge blog which I happened to browsed their blog last week. Do join their May challenge as it is pretty easy and I am sure you have what they want.

Have a great week and thanks for looking.

I haven't done any layout for quite a long time and here I am getting myself dirty last night creating a layout. I am pleased with the outcome and the only thing that I am not happy is that, I don't do any sewing/stitching. Usually I like my layout to look more vintage and messy at the edges by sewing it using my sewing machine and distress a bit but yesterday I wasn't in the mood of sewing, so be it. Hence it has a clean look at the edges...kind of so "plain Jane".

Haven't post a lot of pictures lately, enjoy looking ;)

Layout of my DD, she was crying out loud during our holiday last year. I can't recall why is my DD crying but this photo just explained how sad she is at that very moment. Poor girl...smoochas...smoochas...Mommy love you darling.

I tried really hard gathering all the things that can fit the above TCR colours and playing with paint again is my obsession. I have tried on my previous previous post not to use so much of paper cutting as I love playing with paints. The paper I am using is from Jenni Bowlin, glad that finally I am using that paper pad. I keep telling myself not to buy any papers "anymore", but just can't help it...everything is piling up in my little studio. They are like calling my name....arghhh...

I love how I used my laboratory mini test tubes...cute isn't it?

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

Finally I am done with the aprons...

Hi! All

Thanks to all my blog readers for the lovely comment on my previous post, totally appreciate that.

Last week on Saturday, I went for my book binding class by Nadhrah and overall it is a good class. It is a bit hard for me at first, you know I sew a lot but to sew a book is just something totally new for me. We did two techniques and I brought back two books all sewn by myself. Thanks Nadhrah for the guidance.

I love this books because it lays flat when you open and on top of that I did it from scratch. Thank you for dropping by and have a great week.
