Scrap-it-Lah Blog Hop

love how the title pops up...I used the 3D glue

Hello! all, it is SIL blog hop challenge and for your information Scrap-It-Lah is celebrating 2nd anniversary blog hop and for further details head over here and here and join the fun.

First stop will be at Wati's Creations and she has a super simple challenge for everyone, to create a layout using one or more birthday pics. Here is my take...





I am trying to cover a lot of mistakes I did on this layout and due to that my girl end up at the bottom of this layout. I hate the lights, it doesn't do any justice to my layout! Whatever, hope you guys join the blog hop and thank you for dropping by.

Another addition...

My other half has been very helpful on my scrapping needs so far, I have requested him to buy the white spray paint as I need to paint my 2 F&N crates. He even helped spray painted them for me on Sunday and my next mission is to paint my vintage sewing machine (you know the "kaki sewing machine spider web tu") which I bought from the antique flea market at Armcorp Mall few months ago.

another 2 F&N crates, total I have 3 of those

and these are another three jars that just found their new home...our home...

some of my rick rack, laces, pom pom trim and whatever that come in loose not in spools...this is the storage jar

some of my stamps' collection (not all)

now I have 2 of these jars...because it is so nice and tall...

Last week I did these awesome ribbon bows.

12 colours altogether

you can even put them at your jar

Thanks for looking.

Janome

All the way from Australia, Jem Platinum 760, portable sewing machine and so light, this machine can do 60 over stitches!

Finally its here Kak Liza

Those who has Janome, you know what I mean. Janome is a very reliable sewing machine and wouldn't it be nice if I have Bernina.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful jars

First of all thank you for all your comments in my previous post.
I have a layout to share but lets share with you on Monday and I am also in scrapping mood. My mind always thinking on what to create next be it layout or altered project.

Back to the topic, I have been looking for beautiful jars online or even at our local household shops. The jars from Ikea are quite common and I want something like my vintage jar that I inherited from my late mother ages ago. Found a few and I am one happy bunny with her tail 360 degree up!;)

this is the vintage jar that I inherited from my late mother and I filled it with lots of twines and threads

these are half of what I have...

I love my twines and yarn balls

Loving all those jars and it looks really yummy ha...enjoy your weekend and thank you for visiting.

your dummy glasses

This layout was done for The Color Room # 49. I did it half way with only the banner, the reason I tossed this layout away because I discovered that we have to follow the sketch. Only recently I was told that the sketch is just for guidance and not necessary to follow the sketch but you must follow the colours.

After a couple of weeks being abandoned, I picked it up a few days ago and finished it up with some crazy photos, colours here and there...bla...bla...bla and here is "your dummy glasses"

because of so much camera flash...you can see the silver mist clearly on the black cardstock

Kinda lazy layout done by me, because I don't want to waste my papers.
Thanks for looking and thank you so much for all your comments on my previous post. Have a great weekend!

The Polka Dot Place

Hello! I missed blogging yesterday, haven't had the time to post this yesterday and here I am. This layout was done for this blog. However I am not sure is it a challenge or ...but since I have done it lets share it with you. The sketch...


and my take...

remember the sneak peek? this is the layout la...

Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting. Hugs

Scrap I Inspire I Create

Short post on this, layout below was done for the above sketch and blog.




This layout is very simple and fast to do, a plain cardstock coloured with a little bit white gesso and the journal on top was typed using my vintage typewriter.

I stitched the gauze bandage at all the 4 edges of this 12 x 12 cardstock with my sewing machine and the rest is very straight forward. Thanks for looking.

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 best of times

Remember on this sneak peek? This layout was done for Inspire Me and I just play along and really had so much fun creating this with the help of my girl.

I cut the Webster's Pages patterned paper so that it has shape and sew the edges with different kinds of patterns and I put some distress ink as well.

I played a lot with rub and buff & some paints which is more or less the same colour as the patterned paper.

these are "the best of times" even though sometimes you driving me nuts, totally nuts but I love you baby!

I love this red doilies and it is acid free

Thank you for looking and have a great weekend. Hugs
