*My SHABBY APPLY GIVEAWAY STILL OPEN TILL 28th JAN!* > HERE.

thanks gals, for leaving sweet comments in this time of bereavement.
THANKFUL for lovely folks who lend their physical support.
Especially appreciative because ours is a very small family. Every words of comfort means lots ! :)

This year started off not too nicely.
First off, my laptop went kaput. Bah.... i was torn.
And we're taking about some unsaved precious photos. How can a scrapbooker like me cope. haha... i thought i learned my lesson (NOT!).
U'll know when u start to see the same photos around here...
Then having to cope with the family's loss.
I think it's enough already.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moving on to some nice news.
2012 will be another fabulous year returning to design for Dusty Attic's and Webster's Pages. Wohoo!! Last year was fantastic. I look forward to more good stuff :) Congratulations to the NEW and RETURNING girls:

I am excited to see the new direction WP is undertaking to include Clean and Simple lines. SO VERSATILE!

Here's one layout done using past season's paper collections.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Talk about moving on, I made the difficult decision to step down from The Color Room and Glitz Designs. The decisions came not easy. You should see Glitz Design's NEWEST designs. *sigh*.

I shall leave you with projects for PRIMA's.
CHA is round the corner (AGAIN?!) :) and nonetheless, it's another time for PRIMA to show off their NEW range of FLOWERS. Man...., i think i'm drowning under loads of super gorgeous flowers. WANNA SEE WHAT I did with some of their new blooms :

and using my favourite color palette; a mask piece:

and finally, Prima's Product Pick :

We always offer two chances to win some amazing Prima products with our Palette and Pick challenges! Here's how:

ONE: Repost this Prima PPP blog post on your blog, facebook, or any other forum (please follow all forum's TOU.) GO back here and LINK us to your repost in the comment section!
AND/OR

TWO: Complete a Prima-based project using these products, or the Palette shown above, and submit them to us: sharon@primamarketinginc.com by January 31st! Please put "January PPP" in the subject line.

and here's my take :

The secretive and mysterious palette is such a refreshing change for me to tackle.

OKAY, i need to excuse myself.
May you have a great week...
God Bless.

Before I sing Auld Lang Syne ....

2011-12-30T00:26:00.010+08:00

Probably a last post for 2011.
Feelin' bitter sweet *twitchy nose* while I memories from the past months came back for a visit. It was a VERY Eventful year. A year that was filled with many challenges, changes, new beginnings, new experience, new adventures and new FRIENDS.
I feel grateful.
Grateful for so many wonderful opportunities that came my way (be it craft related or not). I acknowledge the Goodness of the Almighty above who provides.

I move on.
Here are some more craft projects using Prima's. An altered tray from mommy. I SO appreciate the time spend each time I see her. Although I see her a lot less these days. *we live so far* . sigh.

A little note holder. Titled Auld Lang Syne.
Goodbye, 2011. You will not be forgotten.
(yes,.... This little woman here forgot to change 2010 to 2011... I'm in time warp or something lah...! Lol )

And a Tussie Mussie cone. I love stuffing the cone with Stuff. LOL !

One layout using Melissa Frances *using Deck the Hall's Collection*. My little posers do have the ability to make me cry and laugh till i cry at the same time... I fear their spontaneity to pose will fade sooner than I can imagine...

Another layout of my girl doing HER THING. We are SO Proud of her!!

Not sure if you've seen Webster's Pages new release SUNDAY PICNIC:

GORGEOUS COLORS, don't you think! :)

I am REALLY excited about what the New Year brings... Hope you are too :) !
Once again, thank you for your readership.
To you, I am grateful.
In the vastness of the worldwide web, YOUR presence here means much more than you're aware.
Be Blessed.
I'll be back.

I see RED; lots of RED !

2011-12-21T23:47:00.008+08:00

Thank you for your nice words in my previous post! Much much appreciated :) !
The week has been insane, a common routine prior to the count down towards the new year. Nevertheless, I needed to set aside some me-alone time for some crafting.
I tell you, I'm hooked with crafting with the Holidays in mind!

My first attempt in making an advent calendar in Tags form. Using Melissa Frances' Deck the Halls' collection.

I'm not sure if anyone in here is in the mood for any challenge.
But I am hosting a challenge @ Made With Love (my local store) based on color inspiration cross referencing to this photo. Here is the LINK.
Sorry, it's open only to scrappers in Singapore , k....:)

Here is my interpretation; using Webster's Pages!

Moving on to somemore Christmas themed items this time, using PRIMA's...
A Christmas card, using non-traditional contemporary cool colors.

An altered wine glass sprinkled with glitter. A twisted version compared to the one i did last year.

I've got to go now...
Hope you'll have a blessed Christmas and a joyout time with your loved ones :)
Blessings.....

CREATIVE JUMP START SUMMIT 2012

2011-12-15T23:32:00.005+08:00

Feeling SO nervous and SO Excited come January.
Big THANKS to Nat for making me a part of your creative idea!

January is approaching–a month that is full with promises, resolutions and intentions. A month that for many is following lots of holiday celebrations, family gatherings and other end-of-the-year events.

It’s also time to start creating again. But suddenly there it is for some of us: that lost feeling on how to start. Here is the cure :)

A group of wonderful, inspiring and creative women from around the globe in the scrapbooking and mixed media fields have joined together for the Creative Jump Start Summit 2012. We are coming together to tell you how we get back into the creative groove and how we get our creative juices flowing. We want to share with you to help you jump start your creativity in 2012.

Let me show you who is participating:

(Can u tell i feel SO small and nervous?!!!)

*1. Throughout January we will share videos, audio or pictures to inspire you

* 2. You sign up for a newsletter HERE and, in January 2012, you will receive a link and the password to unlock the view of the daily materials as soon as they go life

* 3. You watch the presentations and you will be hopefully inspired to be more creative—all for FREE!

So come on—get inspiration from some of the most creative people in the community

What are you waiting for? (it’s FREE?)

December , seriously ....?

2011-12-08T01:35:00.004+08:00

seriously i can hardly catch my breath.

Thanks for even popping by. The period before Christmas is always so busy for everyone. Real glad my TO-DO list has been checked and getting shorter!
Pretty pleased that I've managed to squeeze in time to make some seasonal projects for the home this year. AND I changed my blog banner again if you noticed !
Digital motifs from Webster's Pages.

This piece here was created using Webster's Pages + Dusty Attic's Display frame:

A card using Page Map's December card sketch:

and a holiday themed pocket pouch - I LIKE Those past season's Webster's Pages floral bouquet. Instant glitz! :)

Some items using Glitz Designs:

A layout with Dusty Attic's Christmas tree chipboard:

I've got like so many more Christmas items yet to be posted. Will do it another time, hopefully soon. Stay tune for some Prima's and Melissa Frances ! :)

Merry ...merry... merry ....

We (the team over @ Webster's Pages) were asked what we were thankful for.
I pondered and typed "I am Thankful that I have ENOUGH".
:) it's quite clear I am a person of very few words isn't it. LOL!

But it's true. I am indeed thankful that He the Almighty one has supplied ALL my Needs according to His riches and glory. I cannot ask for more.
I am thankful. :)

The recent trip to Malaysia went Great! :)
I am REALLY VERY Thankful to see new friends and familiar faces despite a very busy weekend over there in Malaysia. I hope to post some pictures but i didn't bring along my trusty camera.... so, ladies, please send me somemore pictures ok (if u are reading this!) :)

This page was created for Made With Love, using Webster's Pages.

This is a frequently discussed topic. This "Who Has More" can drive me nuts sometimes :)

Another Webster's Pages layout:

Yes, Happy Holidays! They keep my so busy :)

and this piece is my current favourite. A Wall hanging decoration piece using Webster's Pages. Webster's Pages Silhouettes, Dazzle-Me gems, Netting, etc. all the extraordinary embellishments are all on this wall piece.

Some quick sharing - Prima projects:

I doubled up some tart tins with tart covers. The silvery metallic tone is fabulous. Love it! The effect with alcohol inks is incredible. Love mixing these stuff.

and lastly, a Prima Card.

Such a LONG, Picture heavy post!
I am in dire need of sleep....
Here's wishing all my American friends a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Online Class @ Bluemoon Scrapbooking

2011-11-15T23:11:00.006+08:00

Explore and discover the marriage of bee's wax, textured paste, glimmer glam and glimmer glaze to create beautifully iridescent colored and shimmery metallic effects. Journey through 11 pages to create a gorgeous album using Bo Bunny's irresistible products.

" She wants you to ditch away any fear of using and mixing different mediums and create an elegant, sophisticated mini album in the comfort of your own home. Pile up those pattern papers and pile up the layers of glaze, paste and bee wax, etc.

You will play and experiment with textures, glaze, paints and dabble with mediums otherwise rarely used. Get ready to get a little messy. It's time to look beyond what you think these mediums can do for you.

This class was made for you because I want to share the tips I learned along the way and impart some tried and tested formula I discovered along my creative journey. I am still learning myself and I do not see an end to that."

The title of this post says it all. The past few weeks had been horrid, rough and looking forward to a healthy new week.
Yucks.

On a lighter tone, here's my NEW (and last workshop in Singapore) using NEW Webster's Pages. *wink!* Side track a little: THANK YOU people, who always made my day ever so bright by sending me encouraging and appreciative emails after class. You guys make it so much easier to continue what i'm doing! The last i heard, this new class has been snapped up too... please call to be on the wait list K! (u'll never know =)).

More on Webster's Pages... this month we welcome Stacey Young as our guest designer. I think I once shamelessly declared I adore her style heeh.... :)

and here's some using Glitz Designs. I squeaked when I saw their new products! but here, i was still using some past season's pattern papers...

and finally .... MELISSA FRANCES.
O MELISSA .... her satin flowers are SO PRETTY I cannot stand it.
Here's my DIY necklace using her Brooch and flowers. Let me tell u ... in case you see these at Made With Love or anywhere else, GRAB THEM BEFORE they're gone. yeah.... Grab.

Supplies:
14" long ribbon (x2)
small pearl strings (14" long)
big pearl strings (20" long) - optional
A Melissa Frances satin flower (I used - Soft Blue Satin Flower FF10)
Round Romantic Pearl Brooch BR005

To accomplish this,
1) Interlock one piece of ribbon with one strand of pearl string by looping the ends together. Tie a knot
2) Over at the opposite end of the pearl string, tie a knot around the other ribbon.
3) At this stage, you may wish to include another longer pearl string. Use hot glue to secure the ends.
4) Trim excess pearl strings.
5) Attach and adhere (using hot glue) Melissa Frances Soft Blue Satin Flower onto one end of the ribbon.
6) Embellish other end with Melissa Frances Round Romantic Pearl Broach.

Have a blessed week, all....

Hi all,

keeping it short and brief ... a mountain of dateline and a lil' smiling sickie in the house...

FINALLY, the new Webster's Pages came knocking on my door...
One page using Webster's Pages new All About Me collection ...
Journaling: "don't worry if things get too heavy.... FLOAT ON"
haha.... i think this quote is so relevant to me (instead!) right now....

and using Webster's Pages Western Romance:
I think i'm hooked on MUSTARD and KRAFT.

This month, Tattered Angels met Prima. What a divine combination. They work magically together!

Club Couture Summer'11 Collection - Advertorial

2011-08-04T00:39:00.002+08:00

Let's take a break from paper craft, shall we =)

I'm Big on online shopping and not shy about it. Lots more choices and so convenient. I know it is a factor when it comes to ill-fitting apparels, i for one am willing to take the risk and adjust my expectations. Cause i know after all, it is really unlike the real shopping experience. That said, it doesn't mean i throw $ around - i just select what i buy wisely.
Affordable, FREE shipping (free with a minimum amount outside Singapore) , FREE return.
That is my key (well ... almost. cause i know these 3 key words doesn't sing well together). That is why, i thought i'll direct u to this again: Club Couture.

I think the pictures speaks louder than my words:
Here's their ultra cool LOOK BOOK Inspired by the French Riveria, this collection brings together a classic meld of sweet romance, love for the countryside and effortless style.

My favourites

1. Pleated strapless maxi dress
2. Banded Bodycon Dress (My kind of color i like!)
3. Dress in Yellow and Grey (color choice - heavenly!)
4. Criss Cross black cardigan (an essential!)

well. almost.
this blog space needs lots of dusting and i appreciate u *still* drop by!

here are some projects i did for the Prima's booth at the recent CHA.
these are photoless and i am glad to have the opportunity to create and work with whatever i'd like to create:

I love this piece.

*photo credit: Prima blog*.
I used Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist and LOADS of Prima's flowers. Love color blast.

another. Great to work with altered items sometimes! I simply CANNOT resist the resins!

and I am late in posting the layouts from The Color Room's using color palette #68.
The time came for me to create a layout for good friend J. She's charming isn't she?! =)

Here, I used some Dusty Attic's chipboards. Did u know Made With Love is carrying Dusty Attic's?! HERE is where you can find Dusty Attic's Giveaway!

Lots to think about in the coming weeks. Thankful for opportunities that come my way because of this craft. In fact, after a LONG journey with the paper affair, I think it is indeed a fruitful one. Not so much of the privilege to be on teams but the people I meet and get to know personally. Again, I look to the Heavens and say Thank you.

some random shots :

a visit to the goat-then-frog farm in Kranji Countryside. it has come a long long way! It is to my surprise so much more developed, clean and educational.

and so between the goat and the frog farm, the frog farm seems like a more popular choice in my little boy's eyes... 20,000 frogs in that farm ....*shudder*. i cannot seem to understand why it's his fave.

have an great weekend.

If I were to live at a place with four seasons, probably the bird-chirping weather would be my most favorite season. It will be short (and scheduled) post today, I'd created some spring, bird-themed items.

Here are a set of Spring toppers:

and a close up:

Here is a bird house. A mix of die cut flowers, stamped images, buttons, trims and other embellishments. Spring just makes me think of happy colors and Glitz Designs' repertoire of products are absolutely fit for practically any season!

have a blessed Easter week!

Here's where I belong....

2011-04-15T21:51:00.012+08:00

As mentioned earlier, this month at Tattered Angel's, we were asked to showcase our craft area. By right, this is supposed to be our computer/study room... but i've no idea how come it turned out the way it is ....it's beginning to look more like a craft room...

This might be the pivotal spot for this entire post.

the place where ALL my stuff happens =)

and right behind, lays another table which rightfully belongs to hubby. but Alas!
invaded by me. Well, just a small corner ... (and yes, there you see a table for our kids too).

And i had full reign how my interior of our wardrobes will look like. SO, here's a small section which thankfully materialized the way i wanted :

and here's one shelf for my die cut machine and punches.

*i confess this is not the neatest ....*

and finally an exposed corner, part of the wardrobe to hold my Stuff...
I love this spot to the max! my cigar boxes and milk jars finally meet day light.

I banished the idea to upload where I store my thickers, and other embellishments. The amount is disgraceful.

oK, enough already...
a layout done using Glitz Designs. The new products cause dizzy spells! It's vintagey charming . L U R V E. Using color inspiration from The Color Room Palette #54.I have a thing for carousel and glitzy fun play, too bad circus-y activities are far and few where we live... boo.

and o yes, please check out Irene's blog for Dusty Attic Giveaway! HERE.
thanks for your visit...have a blessed weekend.

Thank you for not deserting my little blog corner; 'though it is a little more than deserted over here! =0)

Here's a pic for my kind blog readers who left comments, wanting more pictures from my new place :

I guess i'll probably upload a couple of photos of the my favourite areas than a shot in its entirety...hope you'll understand =) I'll be uploading my craft space on the 15th for Tattered Angels' ... so you might want to stay tuned if interested ... Here's one of my favourite area, where i dress up my white commode according to seasons and festivals. Easter is coming, so you see some eggs and crown for the Risen King... but to us, Easter means much much more, of course! I'll re-take with a close up one of these days....

Things are looking up and the dust should REALLY settle in a whilst. Hopefully.
Thank you for all your visits and i seem to have a common question many times. heehee.

Question : Where did i get my frames from?!
Answer : before i answer that question, you must know i am a frame collector for a pretty long time. I began to collect frames since i got married and each time we go on vacations, i know what I want/need to buy. FRAMES ! So, most/ in fact all of my frames were gotten when we were out on holidays. lifestyle shops, thrift shops (got a few from my recent Van Cover trip), street markets... you name it, my radar is on alert for frames.

But if you reside in singapore, you might want to check out king&KingWong at Nex shopping centre or Tatty Mash at Tanglin Mall... you'll be in for major trouble Ha! :) Else, you might want to check out ebay... tonnes!

Okay... happy hunting for frames !

Moving on, a piece done using Dusty Attic's Birdbath chipboard and my current favourite color combination. BLUE and Gold...

and finally, a layout using Webster's Pages... Agnieszka send me a photo of her precious daughter sometime back in Feb. i feel so Shameful...=) i just send her the done up page only in April...

here's what she done using mine : HERE *soorry i had difficulty loading up!*

Hi there!

My post will be short (and scheduled for the remaining days ...) with creations for Tattered Angels and Glitz Designs...

You must have noticed now that each month, we are challenged to use Tattered Angel's paint and glimmer mist onto different surface. This month, it's time to reach out for FABRICS. Great it seems for me, tonnes of fabrics! Love it!

these above (and bottom) items, were misted onto kitchen towels. folks, those kitchen towels are durable and really good in catching inks, paints and mist! AND the wonderful thing is i CAN do my favourite Ruffling with these with great ease!
Details and colors can be found in my blogpost for Tattered Angels HERE.

and a layout inspired by one of my favourite artist Stacey Young
. One amazing scrapper!

and lastly, items using Glitz Designs .... check out their blog for more inspirations!

box and pox.
what a fantastic pair.
the annoying chicken pox was here for a short visit and it almost drove me up the way LOL! Just glad the contagious stage is OVER! phew.
threw me off tangent and most likely i'll continue to swirl through my days in a haze while we continue to pack boxes for our shift. and the victim, our little boy... whom i feel so terribly sorry for. :[

anyhow... just so glad be able to indulge a little with my paper affair. here's one using Webster's Pages. A scrap lift from our March guest Sarah Mullanix....

2011-02-21T23:48:00.020+08:00

i've heard the state of your wardrobe directly translates the state of your mind.
HOW True for me.
My mind now: disorganized, unsettled, living for today...and i might fail u if u ask me what day it is today. whatever. think i can pretty much skip the description of how the wardrobe looks.

One more week before we meet March.
And ah..., Hope is near.
We should be shifting to the new place as planned... God willing.

These in the mean time, keeps me ridiculously high... knowing the misery will come to an end soon.

Moving On,
here is a Love-Themed Tag-in-Pouch i created using Webster's Pages:

and some stuff done using Tattered Angels' Glimmer Glam/Glaze. Bearing in mind we need to experiment with metal, I went ahead with a metal fork and spoon...

and another with Tattered Angels' Glimmer Glam on metal plate.
Love the shimmery effect. Subtle yet glimmery in glittery glaze.
and the little white resin from Melissa Frances' has been glamorized with glimmer glaze.
Thank you Jessy, for my new prop! =)

and on to metal foil.... more on the supplies HERE.

onto Glitz Designs, we were tasked to create some Love Themed items.

wrapping crepe paper around mini cups... check out Glitz Designs Blog for more inspirations!

I

AM

SERIOUSLY

D U M B F O L D E D .

.... to find my face among these talented gals.
Don't buy lottery but the feeling is almost as close to striking one.
Webster Pages papers and products are divine and the chances of me getting picked for less than 0.0016%! Unbelieveable.
So Great to be among these amazing ladies.

Enjoy your weekend, all... while i go tend to some sickies....
ps: and yeah, I changed my blog banner ! been ages...

it's on the WAY !!

2011-01-19T00:08:00.014+08:00

I've been pining to see uprooted tiles, dust and the smell of cement.
Couple of days ago saw the start of an overhaul for the new place. Anticipation, excitement .... can't wait to how it'll look like. It will be like a plain canvas ... waiting to be filled with colors.

there isn't much time to create layouts these days. it's a luxury to be able to sit and craft even. anyhow, i've downsized my papercrafting to 5x6" in the form of cards... ha! hope this won't last long... here's one i did for my sweetheart girl. the little beautiful soul who seems to have adjusted to school. i've committed myself to write her something, each time she crosses a milestone. It'll be so nice to read something from mommy when she's older, i thought.

this is based on color inspiration from THE COLOR ROOM palette #41
.

Not sure if you are aware of this :

What are Color Connections? What does Tattered Angels, Prima Marketing, Pink Paislee and House of Three have up their sleeves?! Watch the Live webshow on Tuesday, January 18th at 8p MST for a pre-CHA sneak peek and exciting announcements! http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/12105647

i received a freaking exciting email earlier this week.
i'm so glad to be part of THIS! it caught me off the ball for sure cause i didn't even apply for it. do check out Dusty Attic's divine laser cut chipboards! VERY pretty!

and lastly, GCD Studios has a great competition going where you can win a trip to Brave Girls camp! GCD has also had lots of sneaks of upcoming CHA releases SOON !

i've got to go catch up with my mountain of laundry now....and my apologies i'm a slacker here and everywhere virtual for the moment...
have a blessed week!

The First week of School

2011-01-13T00:05:00.020+08:00

*Blog Hop Winner announced in previous post*

The first 2 weeks of school went great for our eldest, we're SO proud of her.
she is so adaptable and sociable. her mama has a lot to learn from her =)
and i won't lie and say i enjoy travelling to school each day....
it's exhaust'g spending so much time on the road just to get our daughter to her school. the evening traffic jam is a killer and a big big drag. My deepest respect to those who make a living from driving...
In between, clearing the new place (much much much nearer), ready for an over haul.
But that will take months.
can you pick up the hint; I am So ready to move...

Lots to update .... but i'll leave that for another time.
not much to show 'expt some stuff i did earlier ...
More Calendars (i need those things to remind me January is flying!).
Here are some items using Glitz Designs
Calendar printables can be found HERE.

and here's a little mini-brown-paper-bag calendar (sorry, can't think of a more glamourous way to call it).

Each of these brown bags can store the little knic knacks from the respective months. i need that especially when i feel so disorganized at the moment ! =]

and finally a little card ....

may your week be a productive one...thanks for stopping by.
God Bless...

and here's one framed calendar using Zutter's Owire and Zutter's Bind-It-All this was created using digital printable mini calendar and sweet Melissa Frances' papers. I heart those baby blue zutter's owire. Perfect.

because there are 12 little pages, it got quite chunky and heavy. I stuck velcro to the back and stuck them onto a base on the frame. It works perfectly well without falling off. these velcro tapes, i believe can be found in most craft stores - the sewing section.

Friday Blues and other stuff...

2010-12-16T23:23:00.014+08:00

Hey ho!

here's another item using Tattered Angels and using glass as our medium in contact. i found this test tube (so glad. ha!) and filled it with some fairy dust (glitter).
painted with crackled paint, i sprayed on purple, blue glimmer mist and i'm amazed how it stayed on the glass surface. so cool !

here's my gift topper (u have a name for that?) for a ultra sweet person with an initial T.

and I'm glad i managed to squeeze in time for this week's palette; using The Color Room's palette #37.
SO Feminiely Sweet isn't it!

re-using a photo, i just love this picture... which was taken like so long ago. this mom can't seem to move on. LOL !

and a Big Thank You to Getpicky Challenge site for asking me to guest for them this month. super cool site ; so pls check it out.

again, i'm getting hooked on this kinda misted-ink blended layout. i'm hooked on these mediums.

this layout was based on this sketch :

onto real life... our home-moving plans are painfully slow.
not only slow but bumpy too ; so much so we're getting snappy... boo!
things which are beyond our control (red tape and stuff) which will definitely not interest you. anyway so glad the year is ending soon....

ah right ... i need to let you know Melissa Frances is doing a giveaway over at the blog > HERE. CHECK IT OUT !! U'll love her NEW-est Stuff which will be out next year.

Tattered Angels and Glass

2010-12-14T16:01:00.007+08:00

This month, over at Tattered Angels, we were asked to work on glass... Rammaged and scoured through my box of forgotten items and glad to find some odd stuff for me to play with ....

I used a wine glass and created a holiday home decor holder.
I dabbed a little metallic alcohol ink to prime the glass, & it's ready for some glimmer-ized products.
For this particular project, I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (Lipstick Pink; Chandelier). A normal paint brush was what I used and the subtle sparkle is indeed appropriate for the season....

thanks for visiting .... :)

2010-12-09T14:55:00.008+08:00

i don't have lots to say here ... enjoying the december breeze, count down to the year's closing and re-counting the Good Lord's blessings. Hope you're all well and ticking off your list! lots to do isn't it :)

not sure where to start 'cause i'm way behind in updating stuff which i need to.
Let's start from here ...

- Holiday projects using Melissa France's

- you won't want to miss the sneaks from GCD Studio's (Melody Ross's new release!) Check out the giveaway HERE.

- this might be the reason why i've been so occupied the last few weeks. check out Made With Love's newsletter this coming Jan will ya :)

- and our little not-so-big anymore girl is officially out of kindy...

I was asked to share how i create my layouts... well, most of the time mine's a hit and go. seldom do i spend more than an hour doing up my layouts or whatever i'm up to. although i would very much love to...:) so i can't say i have a concrete flow. but basically these are the approach i take when coming up with some pages
ps: I must state my approach isn't anything out of the ordinary really :)

- determine which and how many pictures
- a mental picture of how i'll like my page to be like.
ie: the composition, placement of photo etc. a sketch could help a great deal and save you from thinking too much :) but most of the time, i'm very much inspired by color combinations i see.
- drag out my pattern papers and select complimentary/ coordinated colors/prints.(i don't seem to be able to live without my foam dots,cardstocks here! LOL! )
- assemble my page with favourite embellishments or whatever is left on my table and dabble with my mediums if i'm up to it ...it really depends on my mood...

and finally, it seems i'm becoming more of a procastinator. how bad is that! here's part 1 for you, auntie-teacher J... :) i've been back from our vacation for a solid 2 months but i've yet to upload them properly into my online photo gallery... i'm working on it :)

have a good december; PEACE to you...

Happy School Holidays !!

which means alot less time to do "other" stuff :)
time spend with the kids are precious and especially during the holidays...

here're my layouts using SCARLET LIME (Dec) Frugal kit.

journaling reads : we step on each other's toes all the time; sometimes we think of pinching and gorging each other's eyeballs. just sometimes. but we still love.

picture taken in a rose garden in portland oregon ... and i realise i forgot to put the word rose before garden... ah!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding
(or try to understand why the contractor quoted us $8000 for windows ?!! how on earth, i don't print $)
Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways
(including packing, hiring contractors and freaking out making decisions...)
And He will direct your path.
(oh i thank you, Lord)

Proverbs 3:5&6
Amen. Sigh....

it's a good thing we don't shift house that often here.
right now, i am a silent growling tiger .... about to brawl LOL !
Thank God for broadband and online references. So convenient besides shopping for home related items, a good distraction comes in these form ...some cute children's backpacks !

Indescriable

2010-11-21T00:30:00.012+08:00

it was my first time conducting classes outside Singapore.
I'd been spoiled rotten.
My swift trip to Malaysia was short BUT i felt like i was walking on a red carpet!
My deepest heartfelt THANKS to the owners and staff of Papier, for your generosity and so much efforts to make this maiden trip SO memorable.
Right down to the home-made treats just for this event. Really , i have never felt SO WELCOMED and experienced such treatment. THANK YOU for all the little details to make my stay so so comfortable!

I cannot believe what i see and how everything was made so perfect!

one of the two classes....

sorry the rest of the photos are somewhere else in another camera... :)

and to ALL the participants, I am SO Privileged to have met every single one of you -thanks for being SO FUN to be around with! I appreciate your attentiveness, the Ooos-ahhs- and Wahhss, the very very kind and sweet comments I truly appreciate Every single soul who attended. Really, your presence has touched me a great deal!
I think i'm really beginning to like what i'm doin! :)

and THANK YOU Jessy, for helping to take pictures and making us feel SO WELCOMED!
and lastly, to my soul mate-escort who took time off to carry my barang (bags and bags) and taking the effort to know my new-found friends, you are a gem....

hope all of you kind readers are well! the year end holidays and celebrations are just round the corner; i'm just overwhelmed with thankfulness and gladness... will be back soon.

Tattered Angels and Melissa France's

2010-11-10T23:53:00.018+08:00

Here are some items created using Tattered Angels products and this month we were asked to work with some wood ...Wood comes in varying thickness and wood grains vary. In my following 3 projects, I experimented on recycled/ repurposed wooden platforms.Most items can be found even in your own home.

This piece of wall decoration was created on a 4"x4" wooden block. Because of the synthetic nature of this wooden block, the grains are not evidently obvious. However, it acts as a solid base for most mixed media projects.

I covered the wooden block with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (Espresso). The result is instant and the texture of this water soluble paint with added glitter is amazing. I coated the block with 2 coats of paint and I love the subtle glitter sheen!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, I made used of wooden spools and transformed the original blah brown to a rich and luscious brown. All with the help of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (Espresso).
This results in a deep brown stain on the spools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You might think twice before you discard the next Popsicle stick! I recycled these popsicle sticks and repurposed them into a shadow box. (I used 40!)
I had in mind, to create a white shadow box, so I applied gesso on all the sticks. Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (Chandelier) does the job of covering the sticks with instant glam. The sticks (after arranging them into place) look elegant and completely transformed !
Here, i coated the seam binding with Glimmer Mist Chalkboard (Mint Chocolate Chip, Cotton Candy) and Glimmer Mist (Frost).

finally, over to the Color Room palette #32 :

(clickable for a larger image)

and i realised i haven't been doing much layouts :)! heee... i am missing my 12x12" !
and here's what keeping me occupied :) Packing stuffs to bring over to Malaysia this Sat. Can't believe how time flies ... THANK YOU THANK YOU for the incredible response ! I am truly looking forward !

so sorry i haven't been around much over at your blogs... my life is a little chaotic at the moment LOL! next week, i hope it'll be a little better...

Happy Tuesday !

2010-11-09T21:26:00.014+08:00

My stuff On the Cover ?!!

o damn .... but happy November!!

2010-11-01T18:40:00.013+08:00

and so my start of the week didn't too nicely.

i just said good bye to someone forever for not turning up.
Irresponsiblity ranks low on my threshold meter. So my time was wasted waiting (read: swimming instructor) just like that for the 3rd time.
I'll gladly and readily accept if the reason is valid.
Would you budge if it is as lame as "I forgot" or worst, "I am at the airport now".
it happens to be my girl's swim-instructor; not mine :P

Then, i thought let's treat ourseleves to some indian food at the nearby coffeeshop.
It started well with smiles and greetings from the vendor UNTIL he looked at my kids and asked me "You from indonesia ah...?" (trust my instinct, he meant " are you a domestic maid?" ) and me, the dumb girl actually answered " urm no ... from singapore". omy, did i just answer him?! LOL !!
go ahead and have a laugh... what was i thinking and i must have looked the extreme today. i can't decide which is worse...

i think i am about to bite....

Move on...
Here's one GCD Studios' layout i created using one of my evergreen fave. :) i'm so boring i'm using butterflies again. but the butterflies from GCD Studio's Artsy Urban Collection are too pretty !

and another, a canvas chunk - used Tattered Angel's glimmer mist :) i'm in love with my glimmer misted seam binding...

and finally, so glad there's a new instructor over at Made With Love!!
Pooi 's new classes debut this month and do check it out HERE :) !

okay, i shall go chill.... you take care and will visit you soon :)

Details Are OUT ....

2010-10-30T01:05:00.016+08:00

I have been fore-warned.
House hunting is going to be an uphill task.
And we are in it ! It INDEED is not an easy feat.
The most appropriate analogy would be the ding-dong-bell ....
Ah well, when things aren't always in your control, so i guess in the meantime, i need divine intervention to calm my anxious heart. I know He's watching, knowing ... and surrender we will ....

So, my saving grace ....

Huge thanks to Papier Love and heartfelt THANKS to this wonderful talented lady who came up with this amazing poster.
OMG!
Floored.
Completely!
If you are in the area, would LOVE to meetcha! :)

For the kind souls who asked and are interested, I have finished all my classes for the year at Made With Love. THANK YOU to ALL who attended this year, THANKS for showing grace towards this greenhorn LOL ! :) Will be back next year again, so please check back ok...

Moving on, i shall leave you with a quick fix layout.
and yeah, that poor tutu skirt was stuffed breathless into the luggage; but so glad i did cause i LURVE those pictures taken by the lake in the mountains...

hope you'll have a good weekend....
God bless....

"When life inspires our home; our home will inspire our life."

how true .
I've been so inspired by regal, bohemian and decisive colors i'm bursting to get the act in place. But first, i need a place and a bottomless pocket for me to materialize these pent up inspirations...

These have been my constant inspiration ....

*sorry, no photo credits here; most have been saved and stored in my files for donkey years*
what a feast; i'm on a color-high...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i shall leave you with works done using Glitz Designs:

Ornate Frames in black and neon green ... my heart goes skipperty-skip...

blurps and briefs on these can be found HERE.

My RUFFLE Addiction - Double Ruffle Tutorial

2010-10-22T13:29:00.014+08:00

is still going strong :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
here's the tutorial i did for Scarlet Lime a few weeks back.
A Ribbon Garland.
(i am too lazy to post my tuts most of the time, but here you go... just because this could be my current fave - a slight twist to my usual ruffling).

Supplies
Jenni Bowlin crepe pink paper pack (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage Pleats (Scarlet Lime Main/Frugal kit)
Lily Bee Audrey Tulle Flowers (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
American Craft Lively Dear Lizzy Ribbon (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
24 inch piece of wide ribbon (about 1" wide)

Crepe Flower Instructions

Step 1: Remove crepe paper from pack. Each pink stream measures 2 yards.
Cut a 2.5" diameter circle from cardboard. This will be the base.

Step 2: Fold the stream into half and halve them again. You should get 4 stripes each measuring 20 inches.

Step 3: Use running stitch along the entire length. Ruffles will be formed. Tie a knot at the end. Fluff the layers of ruffles along the edge by gently pulling the crepe paper away from each other.

Step 4: Encircle the cardboard circle with the ruffled crepe. Use hot glue for a permanent bond.

Step 5: Attach a smaller flower at the centre.

There you go , a scallop double layered ruffle flower.
Read on HERE. If You are interested in knowing how i assembled the whole garland...

okie.... you might have noticed the frequency of bloggin' this week.
staying home and indoors and ...taking it easy. THANK YOU SO much for your kind thoughts and asking after us, wer're on the road to recovery ...

God Bless,

boo boo boo

Dainty Pretty Things ....

2010-10-04T14:07:00.008+08:00

i know i shouldn't even be here ... just gimme 5 min and i'll get out of here and get more important things done.

two and half more months before the new year and i think we've got lots to do. (*aaakkkk*) things that need to be sorted out before the new academic year and i think i'm going into panic attack soon .... O Lord, help me!

temporal help came in the form of these ...
serious treasures i found along the way while in Bellingham, Washington ....

vintage paper patterns, milk cups and plates, linen and vintage baubles made me go very weak in the knees! believe it or not, my hubby came along with me to pick these stuff :)

and lastly , did this cake stand for a friend's wedding. Flowers never fail to perk me up ... while these delightful beauties bring temporal relief, real life issues 're egging me to get moving ...

till another time ....

good to be back!

2010-10-01T22:27:00.007+08:00

Meeting and Antiquing with Carolyn Peeler ...

2010-09-25T12:46:00.018+08:00

I traveled approximately 8,005 air miles from Singapore to Vancouver and waited for a moment like this - waited to take a picture with Senior Creative Director from Melissa Frances

Meeting this beautiful, cute and talented Lady was one of my HIGHLIGHT this trip.
She just KNOWS exactly where to bring me.
When i knew i was going to meet her in real life, my vacation-excitement meter shot up several knots! :)
Thank you again,Carolyn.
Thank you for all your sharin' too ! Always yearned to go antiquing and BUY stuff! so i simply cannot express how grateful i am !:)

I already feel like my trip is so fruitful. U know how you feel after eating a good warm meal, feeling so satisfied? that's the way I am feelin'. :)

unfortunately, my camera wasn't too nice to me and acted wonky...
just am glad i managed to take some pictures along the way :)

We had a whirlwind trip from Vancouver - Portland - Seattle - Vancouver.
Lots to see, lots to eat, loads of photos (crazy i think i'd taken over 2000 picutres!) yikes i'm in for trouble sorting...

Lastly, i shall leave you with a layout i created using The Color Room's Palette #25. The colors are stunning and have such zing!

catch you again, and thanks for popping by! :)
