Canvas and a card

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

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

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

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.
