OH GOODIE! PARTY PACKS

Embellishing packages are one of my favourite projects to date! 

The joy of gift giving to someone totally not expecting and layering pretty embellishments. Double score. 

Here's I made use of WRMK's Oh Goodie! supplies from Scrapbook Werkstatt. 

PROJECT LIFE

October came and is now gone ... ! Hope your plans for the year end is slowly materialising :) 

The end of the year always spells B-U-S-Y ....

Here are a couple of project life pages done using Scrapbook Werkstatt's November Project Life Kit. 

Of course, the pretty lilac planner came from HERE and HERE.

Psst! Free WORLDWIDE  Shipping if it interests you =).

It's ALWAYS Fantastic to create with a kit with lots of well-thought embellishments, papers... saves time and is a breeze to put quick pages together... Here, I created a few projects using October's Main kit from HERE.



The Kit is FULL of fun stuff!




Here are a couple of pages using Scrapbook Werkstatt's October Project Life cum Filofax Kit:

CARDS!

Card making is what I love to do when I want to "start" my creative engine...
A manageable 5"x6" white card stock is all i needed to pile my layers of pattern papers and embellishments.







Citrus Bliss Collection from Pink Paislee always looks great with white =)
I'll be back with more planner related stuff !

Pocket Style with Pink Paislee.

it has been an erratic week.
My trusted Macbook Air completely died on me and I'm in the midst of retrieving documents and datas.
Glad all is not lost.

Here are my pocket pages using Pink Paislee's.







It's time to print more pictures ! :)

PINK PAISLEE'S + PAGE MAPS

Hi all,

The team at Pink Paislee's had the honor to team up with Page Maps this month. With an awesome 3 photo sketch, we put ourselves to task and created a page based on the sketch :)

Did You Know ...

That May is National Photography Month? Over at Pink Paislee's, the team will be sharing tips on how to let your photos shine!
We’re living in a world of “Instant” at the moment and I’m so glad we can whip out our phone and snap precious moments in an instant. Instant memories! Don’t get me wrong, my DSLR still gets its love but for everyday moments, I turn to my trusted phone for convenience. On my layout, I’ve incorporated several photos of an excursion, captured using my built in camera on the phone.



Using more than 1 photo helps to create a flow in my picture-telling. With a couple more photos, it gives me the freedom to journal less and allow the pictures to narrate.



These series of pictures were taken in various places with many distracting backgrounds. To achieve a cohesive look, I converted these 4 pictures into a black and white collage. Printed them on my home printer and had them as the focal point on my layout.

I’m inclined towards grid style when it comes to scrapbooking on 12″x12″ layouts and Pink Paislee’s Insta-Kit (Citrus Bliss) came in handy. This package contains 4″x4″ Instagram cards with different designs on them. Each in the form of overlay, card sheets and frames. There are so many permutations in combining these cards and frames because the colors are well-coordinated. It’s hip to be square!

Here, I layered these frames and cards one on top of another and embellished each square window.



There you are, having several photos on a layout isn’t as difficult as it sounds, isn’t it.

Canvas Corp Valentine's Pin It and Win Challenge and More...

Hey guys,


Love is all around in February!
Here's one of my first few (well, my 2nd V-Day related card, actually). A rustic Valentine's card created using Canvas Corp Brand's supplies.
The burlap background adds a unique texture and looks completely handmade. Love that.

These days, I am simply hooked to my die cuts (I use Sizzix, PapertryInk's and SpellBinder's dies).
Simply run the dies through my Sizzix Big Shot and I get the shapes I want. Saves times and it's crisp too!
At times, I really do prefer my Sizzix over my Silhouette for intricate patterns.

Here, I die cut scallop heart-shapes on 7-Gypsies pattern papers and "packed" the vellum envelope with many Lovelies. As though it's bursting with all things sweet.



So, we've a Challenge for all of you! Want a chance to win $50 worth of Canvas Corp Brand's?
Do visit CCB's blog to see what other creative V-Day cards our designers have come up with! =) It's going to be FUN!




I know I will never be able to accomplish much if I were to attempt weekly Project Life spread. I opted for something that's sustainable and I'll progress along as and when I have a story to tell :) Here's a couple of pages from here ….



Finally…. I just got to share these…. Matt Patent Metallic A5 Organizers. (Bigger than Personal A6Size).

[ NOVEMBER ]

I'm pretty much obsessed with stripes and linear graphics at the moment.
Nautical inspired papers? Anytime!

Here're a couple of cards created using Webster's Pages [Ocean Melody] Collection. SO PRETTY!
Pretty pastel nautical themed collection is so rare and few and Webster's Pages has nailed it right.

Getting into the Mood of Christmas

It really isn't too early to start planning for Christmas!
Essentially only 10 weekends to 25th December?

Webster's Pages just seems to get everything right each time.
Look at the brilliant [All That Glitters] Collection released in time for Christmas….
Here are a set of embellished glass tine white paper bags - Great for little gift cards!









Have a good weekend!
