Wishing all....

A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Thanks to all who had ordered and purchase my goodies... Really appreciated all the support! Hope you and your friends love them!!

Notebooks..

So much to do... and so little time....

Been staying back late at work to finish up the paperworks. I spent the remaining hours/minutes (so limited) with my kids... and the household chores. I waited till the wee hours when my kids are fast asleep to fold and iron my clothes.... which is considered my resting personal time as I got to watch my DVDs on my laptop while doing it. That's explain the lack of blogging time and projects to share with you guys.

I'm currently trying to finish my Christmas gifts and orders that I got from my colleague. Hopefully, this hectic-ness (if there is such a word) will pass soon.


Would like to share a couple of notebooks that I did for my colleagues quite some time ago.

She requested for a pink notebook with a silver heart.

Another colleague of mine requested for vintage with butterflies and flowers.



This is up for sale... I just did an extra one...

Thanks for dropping by!

Will update as much as I can..

Name Tag

Sorry for being MIA too long...

Things have been kinda hectic ever since I decided to send off my domestic helper. I choose to be physically tired than MENTALLY TORTURED. Juggling my time between taking care of the 2 cute monsters, working full time, doing housework and resting.... I have... but limited time to do scrapping.

Decided to send my kids to half a day childcare and eventually full day as it will be better for them intellectually...

But nevertheless, I still feel a sense of achievement everyday when I am able to singlehandedly manage the kids, keep the house clean (even thou not as clean as when we had a domestic helper), play with them and still having the small little time to do what I enjoyed most.... scrapping... (well.... I sacrifice a little time for sleeping).

So... I bring you my latest creation! A name tag which can suit any individual!

I have this up for sale (not the actual product thou'). Email me if you are interested. Click here for detail!!!

Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!

I don't celebrate Christmas but I love the festive colour and the mood is there to create cute and pretty stuff for the occasion. This year round... I aim to made handmade gifts for my friends (if time permits.. that is).

I created this tag which can be hang as a Chirstmas decor, tree ornament or simply as a magnet.Gonna make another for Meimei too!


Seriously.... the colour is much brighter than in the picture.

Imaginisce October Sketch Challenge

Managed to join October Sketch Challenge by Imaginisce.

Here's my take. I used B-Day Bash collection to create this layout about Meimei's 2nd birthday celebration.

No doubt we actually had a dinner and candle-blowing gathering at my sister's place but on the actual day itself, we decided to do something different. We brought the girls to Icing Room for them to decorate Meimei's 2nd birthday cake and had a SECOND birthday cake candle-blowing at home.

I cut out the balloons, banner and presents from the patterned paper to save some embellishments... LOL.

Thanks for looking!!

Sorry for the blur pic... really trying to get a good pic...

Materials:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Patterned Paper: Imaginisce

Alphas: AC Thickers, OA stickers

Others: OA stickers (I can't remember the August 'calender' is from which manufacturer)

Not 1... not 2.. but 4 canvas layouts!

This has been a long overdue project that was delayed for about.... 2 months?

Had to find a suitable size canvas for the layout... which took me several trips to the shop as they out of stock. Then... finding the suitable time to prime and paint the canvas (while the girls were sleeping ). Then.... gathering suitable patterned papers and embellishments to finish up all 4 layouts at one go!! I do stopped and finished other projects in between to get some inspirations.

Love the end product... how the little details just come together...


I think they look nicer in real-life though... the colours are more vibrant.. I should really brush up my photography skill.

Some differences in each layout... but all having the same photo...

Packed the canvas layout together with the stand..... so that they can displayed them out...

It's feel great to make handmade gifts for friends... don't you think so too?

Well... I do...

Art Garden

My next layout was supposed to be based on a sketch by Inspired Blueprints shown below...
However.... I really wanted to include lot of photos.... let the photos do the talking instead of journaling... not much space to play around with after I placed all the photos.

This is the first time we took the girls to a museum... I think they enjoyed themselves a lot. New things to see and do which was better than heading to the shopping mall all the time.

My first time making banner!! Love it so much!! (make a mental note to create more of this cutie)

Thanks for looking!!

Materials:

Studio Calico kit

Alphas: AC Thickers

Stickers: 7 gypsies, MAMBI

Others: chipboard; Maya Rd, Baker Twine, Ranger stickles

Pencil Lines Sketch #203

Using Pencil Lines Sketch #203 below.....

I scrapped a simple layout using a recent photo of my 2 DDs which was taken during our short weekend break at Resort World Sentosa. Rarely was I able to take a decent 'non blurry' photo of them together. They love photo-taking now... they would even pose for me.

I'm seriously running out of ideas for title... maybe I should just leave the title out and just scrapped photos that I love.... at times, thinking of an appropriate title takes a longer time then to scrap the actual layout...

I decided to mist the white cardstock at the last minute as it was too plain.

Thanks for looking!!

Materials:

Studio Calico Kit

Bazzill white cardstock

Patterned Paper: Teresa Collin

Stickers: 7 gypsies, Jenni Bowlin

RubOns: October Afternoon

Just For You mini album

Made this 12 pages mini album for a fellow colleague as a farewell gift. I had only worked with her for about 2 months but she had taught me a great deal.

This 12 pages mini album consists of photos of my other colleagues (can't reveal for confidentiality purpose) as well as their farewell messages and well wishes for her. Hopefully, whenever she look at it... she will remember the good times (and bad times) she had with us.
I was quite upset to see her go.... but she had her difficulties too....

I wished her all the best....

Hope she likes her farewell gift....

Thanks for looking!!

As promised....

A 20 pages wedding guestbook.

A little tricky for me as I can't load too much embellishment on it as the book might get too thick.
I used loads of Prima Marketing and Webster's Pages patterned papers. I really love the cover page... so rich with colours.

Those blank photo mats are for my friend to sitck polaroid photos of her guests and I had stamped and handcut individual journaling tags for the guests to write their well-wishes for the newly wed couple.

I will be posting this on my handmade gifts for sale. I can customed made a similar one (depends on my available stash) or another according to individual liking.

Thanks for looking!!

A little sneak....

Here's a little sneak of the wedding guestbook that I've been busy with....

I'm left with the cover page and a little touch up and I will be done!!

Will be back soon to post the whole complete book!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Time is never enough....

Time is never enough.... So much to do but so little time....

I was planning to do a mini banner.... a layout... completing a wedding guestbook (commissioned)... but was so busy at work that I only managed to finish a card (which I literally forced myself to complete 'cause I was feeling so depressed and stress up at work).

Just a simple card to tell someone that you are thinking of them.....

Thanks for looking!!!

*Hope that things will be get better at work*

Up and Up We Go

Using Pencil Lines Sketch #202.

Scrapped a candid photo of my 2 girls climbing up our house gate. They became restless while waiting for my hubby and me to get ready to bring them out.....
Honestly, I don't know who taught who to climb up the gate. Ah Ger was never a climber before this incident. I think they gave each other moral support to do so.


























Will keep trying to tie a nice little bow... heh
