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

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.

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.

Chicka for TCR # 57

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!

The Color Room Palette # 56

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

Enjoy today

I did a simple layout yesterday, I played with my acrylic paint again but this time with a totally different technique, no brush or tools used but just dropped the colours straight from the bottle to the patterned paper and then move them by moving the patterned paper itself.

Lately I often used plain paper for my LO but yesterday night I decided to use this red paper...not sure is it from my last year Studio Calico or just from the many papers that I bought those days.

This layout is too red for me...Well, after I am done....here I am "embrace the imperfection".

Love my blooms, the ribbon bow and all laces are from my swap buddy.

The next two weeks will be my marathon week to finish those 3 aprons as I want them to wear on the 30th April. How about that - both of you?

Thanks for looking, have a great week and happy crafting.

The Color Room Palette # 51

What a fun weekend, I had a blast on Saturday. Met few "friends" and I really had a great sessions with both of you ;). The Papier Spring Market also a fun one and I really enjoyed myself doing the 5 tags. Thanks to all the DTs.

I managed to finish 3 layouts last weekend including the sneak peek (which will be shared tomorrow may be).


Today lets see what I did with "The Color Room Palette # 51". This palette totally my colours...love it! Before I did the below layout, I am blank at 6:30 pm yesterday on how to do this palette...I mean the sketch and how the LO gonna be. My mojo totally dried...and I am totally tired, I slept immediately after lunch and woke up at 4 pm for prayers and bla...bla..bla...started working at 6:30 pm. However that is not immediately, I was looking for photos, papers and colours on how to begin...finally I decided to just do it "freely" without even thinking on what to put in this layout! I just grabbed whatever near me (of course there are 2 awesome jars in front of my eyes!) these jars are full with embellishments "it was a gift"...and this is my take for the above palette.

"your colourful birthday"

the colourful thickers - from Studio Calico and some from my stash
the banner is from Maya Road and I coloured them according to the palette # 51

thanks to you and you for the journal card tag, pink lace and flowers

I used my sewing machine to make the bottom ruffles with a piece of patterned cotton cloth

I used a blank cream colour cardstock from my Studio Calico kit and coloured the background randomly as per the palette given

This layout is very colourful indeed and I just love that I am able to turn blank 12 x 12 cardstock into a total mess...most of my paints are from Americana, Jo Sonja's and Scrapbook colours. If you can see in this layout, I even used my sewing machine to sew all the 4 edges. If you were to ask me what is my favourite tools? My answer is my SM!

Thanks for looking and will be visiting you soon! Have a great week. Oh, by the way I have another two layouts to be shared. Don't forget to come and visit me again. Hugs

The Color Room Palette # 50

I have created a layout last week for the above challenge at The Color Room. The above palette totally not my colour and I find it hard to play with, totally. However, I managed to get this layout done..."I see you in me" enjoy the pictures and would love to hear your comments.

I added a punchanella on top/right side and love it and I also used my soft drinks bottles caps (top & bottom part of layout)
You can see I added a few Pink Paislee, Artisan Elements and I "mist, rub and buff" them with different shades of blue colours.

The Jo Sonja's, French Blue is totally the right colour for this palette and lucky me I have it in my drawer.
The blue background paper is from my Studio Calico. Can you spot the swirl rope next to the blue lace? That one was inspired by Finnabair layout TCR # 49.

Since this layout is fulled with embellishments, I decided not to use any "thickers" I wrote the title instead and I used my antique vintage typewriter for the journaling and I love the font.

I have something to share as I have lots of mojo came and visited me over the weekend.

I managed to do 3 aprons out of 1 meter canvas (I sewed all of them), I did 9 pin cushions, 7 ATCs (6 are metal ATCs). I will be swapping metal ATC with Liza & Amelia this Saturday, cool!

Have a good week ahead and thanks for dropping by. Hugs

The Color Room # 48

This is my first time submitting a layout for TCR. I really love how I get to play with mix media and colors.

The skirt was created about few weeks ago, but I "KIV" this layout as I don't have mojo. However, upon stumbled on TCR challenge #48, I quickly twist this layout a little bit by adding colors according to the color palette #48.

I created my own flower

It has been a while I did not create any 12 x 12 layout, been ages! Thanks for looking and have a good week ahead.
