Vintagey ... Romantic ...

that's what i like about A Kiss on the Chic's November kit.
Here's what i did with the O-SO-PRETTY Kit :



i had wanted to create an album like this for the longest time.
it's titled Old Days Old Ways. You know how our grandmothers have so many advices and words of wisdoms ... i know my had and some were really hilarious and can't help but recollect them and write it down. You know somethings
need to be passed on for your kids to see and think about. Do not look into the mirror when eating ... does it sound familiar ...

here are the rest



The kits are really in limited quantity so hope you managed to grab something !
AND this will be the last kit for a while ... just thought to let you know...
It's RAK Time again over at AKOTC > HERE
that's all from me...thanks for popping by !

in retrospect

now that the year is wrapping up, can't help but took a walk through the months that had past. this year has been a year of growth as i learned to accept the meaning of what it means to be not in control of our lives. We plan our steps but the Higher Divine Almighty One steers our path, we believe.Past year hasn't been a healthy year. We'd been surrounded by many who are inflicted with illnesses (critical)and our household
are not spared (don't worry it's nothing terminal but something tame-able).
Now it has drawn closer how important our health is to us. it makes me sit back and think of how to adjust our lifestyle and attitude ... and surrender to Him.

'nuff said...hope all you out there are well in every sense :)
been in the mood to use up my ribbons and lace. i've got like endless miles of them.
Most of them inherited from mom. What can u do if ribbons/ lace of the same pattern?
i do get bored with them ... anyhow, i used up some to accessorise my pearls. not that i wear them though !
those awesome colored ribbons are from Pebbles Inc.

One layout using Pebbles Inc


here's another layout using Banana Frog and Rose Moka.
i used dry embossing and glitter around the photo. my Tutorial write up can be found > Here

and Yes, i'm still very much into yellow - Still...

and a sneaky using Graphic 45 and the Bind It All...



and some miscellaneous stuff... i'm trying very hard to use up what i have lying around.

Kids say the cutest thing. Our kid's conversation is sometimes my springboard for my layouts.

it's Time ...

This month at Scarlet Lime, u'll be treated to a lovely mix of Peachy orange, purple, navy, and yellow... I'm inspired each time i see the palette of colors. Not only are the pattern papers compatible; the embellishments and accessories are so well coordinated too !

Here are my take with their colorstruck-chockful of goodness kit in a bag :
Using the Main Kit -




here're some pictures of my newly wed friend ... thanks for the pictures, J :) !
i did a tutorial for the muslin flower; if u like it do check back here or Scarlet Lime's November's newsletter ...

and here are those using the Project Kit -

i love the picture. my poor girl was about to fall asleep right after decking the hall last year. i played it up with Photoshop...

LURVE Glitter ... always love to pour glitter over my Christmas crafts. and glad it's time to do it again ...


do check out the rest of the artist's work as well > HERE
will be back again ... and it's November already ! Stay well ...

Vacy and Scarlet Lime Sneaks

i thought i would have melted in the sun ... and wonder if the sun will get any hotter ...
i thought there's no place hotter than this now!

but it was Great to be away on a small island... funny thing is no matter how hot it was, i didn't get any much darker or sun burnt. and i hate it !! All efforts to get a safe tan but no results ...

anyway, i know i've forgotten How to blog ...
i need to start my engine again and here's what i haven't blog about (Using Graphic 45's):


this layout is about my little man . his cheeky sister loves to run so fast knowing he has trouble catching up and loves to see him panting like crazy... :)

shall leave you with some Scarlet Lime Sneaks ... be back on 31st okie for the reveal ...





i'll be back ....not sure if people still reads this blog ha! if you are there, then HI there !
