Altered box and tin

I altered a box and a tin yesterday night...

You know on my previous post I did an album for a friend, bought a box to fit the album unfortunately the box that I bought can't fit the album. I am kind of lazy to run to Daiso again, instead I found this empty box at home an I decided to use it for the album.

I coloured the box (top part) in white colour and stamped it with Donna Downey foam stamp and added some colours. First, I wanted to embellish the box to the max, but with aprons to work with, with my girl screaming for attention and so on...I opt to just do the simple one for this box. I hope this is fine.

and this one is an empty tin which has Christmas colored on it, I painted the tin in ivory colour (I used metal colour) and stamped some images. Simple and very straight forward, this tin will go to the new owner on Saturday. You gave me tin, I give you an altered tin ;)

all yummy, colourful, beautiful and cuddly

Lastly, this image of yarns is for Rosa. All these yarns...will be yours this Saturday!

and one more....these aprons will be with the new owner this Saturday, sewn with tender loving care by yours truly and I hope they like it.


Thank you for looking and will be visiting you soon.

An album for you...

Hello! First of all, thank you for all the lovely comments in my previous post.

I have not been blogging for quite long and been busy with my aprons and plus I was not too well in the early of the week but totally fine on Wednesday because of Dusty Attic (typical scrapbooker!).

One of the reason I don't scrap because my mojo have gone somewhere for vacation (I think). I am trying very hard to finish those 3 aprons and due to a lot of hand stitching done (as I did applique for the aprons) I got severe headache on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. The pain was so great, I cried, vomited and was on bed rest on those days.

However, while working with the aprons - I managed to sew an album for a friend which I have not seen for many months. I really hope she will like it, this album is super easy to make...ding dong ding dong....and it is done! I have yet to put some ruffles/yarns at the side of the album - just some ribbons. I will put a bit of "make-up" before this album gone to the new owner next week.
Just the front image for your viewing pleasure, the rest of the pages let the new owner decide - whether to share or not to share in her blog. ;)


If I have the time, I will be creating and ATCs over the weekend and may be a layout.

If you have been following my blog long enough...some of you might know that I love to read. Another obsession of mine is buying books, I would love to share and suggest to some of you to get this book title "The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch". I bought it last year and I have read it again and again as it is totally inspiring and sometimes I found myself in tears while reading it. Same goes to the previous book that I have read about Princess Masako, Prisoner of the Chrysanthemum Throne.


A little note, thanks to the man of the house for the new book, I have read it halfway "Doctor in the House" ;)
Have a great weekend and thanks for popping by.

Another fabric album

Sharing with you another project of mine which is completed a couple of weeks ago but I kept forgetting to share it here in my blog.

Remember on my previous entry, I did my first set of fabric albums for a swap? I have also created a second set of fabric albums (in this badge there will be 4 fabric albums)

This is one of it and this one will find her new home soon...to my friend...I hope you will like it!

I put used Kodak's film at the side of the album

a little peek...

Thank you for all your comments in my previous entry and have a bless Thursday.

Hugs

Early Christmas Gift!!!

Fujifilm instax mini7S

I haven't updated my blog for more than a week now...and I have been scrapping lately and managed to finished a couple of layouts but I have yet to upload and share with all of you.


Back to the topic, I saw a few of my fellow scrappers and friends using this camera from Fujifilm and it is a polaroid version with the image print of a credit card size. Wanted to have this camera for so long and finally I managed to get one today - I ordered yesterday and this morning I am a happy customer! this purchased came together with 4 boxes of instax mini (the film credit card size photos). Managed to snapped 2 photos and the results was great (can't compare to Nikon DSLR though). If you want to purchase this camera let me know. Thanks for dropping by.

Twinkle Toes Baby Hand and Feet Sculptures

Now you can have your little one's hands or feet sculptured in gold or silver colour, mounted with an inscribed gold or silver plaque and presented in a custom made frame.

Non-toxic impressions are taken on appointment at Twinkle Toes. The beautifully finished product is available for collection in 14 - 28 days.

It's the perfect gift for any occasion - New Baby, Birthdays, Naming Day, Starting School or to be given as a beautiful memento to Grandparents or Godparents to say "I love you".

I have been keeping the Twinkle Toes brochure for the past 3 years and I am just waiting for the right time to go once I had my own baby. Last month we had Mia Zara's two hands and two feet done by Shayne at Twinkle Toes and she cried at the top of her lungs. I think because the mixture is cold to her hands and feet. Poor baby! However, we have to wait for 28 days for the artwork and once we got it I will definitely share with all of you. Feel free to visit Twinkle Toes and keep your baby memories forever..
