Sweet House and more notebooks.......

This had been one of my long awaiting to-do project (for about 6 months or so..). It was done halfway and left on my shelf collecting plenty of dust.....The mojo to complete it was simply not there and finding the correct photos for the album stalled me too.

But I managed to complete them about a month ago..... at last....

Using mainly Prima Marketing patterned papers (it's one of the older collection). I have intended to add picket fence, etc..... but decided to keep it simply for easy storage.

As for the photos, I chose those random photos that I had not scrapped before and not suitable to scrapped in bigger layout. By the way.... that Hello Kitty was placed there as temporary measure until I can find another suitable candidate for the house.... hehe...
Next..... my latest set of notebooks that I had made.... might list some for sales soon...

Happy 2012!!

Happy New Year everyone! 2011 flew by so quickly especially for the month of December. Been busy juggling between making handmade Christmas gifts for friends, relatives,  colleagues and patients (even though I started as early as mid-October), fulfilling customised orders and the normal routines of household chores, spending time with the kids and work work work....

These are just a a tiny fraction of what I had made for Christmas, personalised altered frame and photo tags....

Managed to create a dent in my stash supplies BUT it's still not big a dent.. sigh... Been hoarding and buying too much scrapbook supplies and I can't seem to keep up with it. That's why one of my 2012 resolutions is to spend within the budget ( for scrapbooking supplies only). *Must resist the temptation*

My last biggest splurge for 2011 was this.....

I have decided to do Project Life this year. Ever since I found out about Project Life from some scrapbooking bloggers, I've been wanting to capture and preserve memories of our everyday life. Even though, I AM doing it by creating layouts and albums. I still felt that there are so many more things/events that I have yet to document. There are so MANY photos that I wanted to use and document... but honestly, I doubt I can even catch up (I have yet to create album for my Japan trip in 2009!!!). 

So, when I found out that Project Life is gonna be distributed in Singapore (previously only available in USA, Canada.. or some other countries and the shipping charges are outrageous!!), wihout a second thought.. I pre-ordered 2 kits and some other essentials stuff.. Hopefully, I can really simplify and document more memories...

Thank you for stopping by...... 

Crafty Time.....

Did this with the kids on Sunday. Handmade Christmas tree ornaments. Got this idea on Pinterest. 

The girls are enjoying craft as much as the mummy do.... Trying to search for other ideas for next coming weekend. 

 A customised order for a friend of mine.

Adding this to the Handmade Gifts for sale Page. Great as a Christmas gift (which can be customised to the theme), birthday gift for a friend or simply an everyday gift. Had listed a bigger version of this frame. The sample can be found in this post.

Goodbye for now my friend.......

One of my colleagues who had recently left us for a greener pasture. Wish her all the best in her future endeavor!! Although, didn't get to work with her much.... 1 word to sum up about this girl.... CRAZY.... hehehe.. a frequent visitor in my office.

Made her a farewell gift..... using one of the old photo..... since I don't have any other of her.

Thanks for dropping by!!

Teacher's Day Gift

Just wanted to share some scrappy stuff that I did for Teacher's Day since I have yet to take pic of the recent ones.

Customised notebooks for a friend of mine. Managed to complete them even thou' it was a last minute order.

As for mine..... I used some old felt flowers that I had made previously to 'pretty' up packaging for the girls' teachers. They were so proud to bring them to school....

Thanks for dropping by~~

Customized Wedding Guestbook

A wedding guestbook for one of my friend's brother's wedding (photo taken by my hubby). Honestly, it's much more vibrant and nice than the picture shown. (Hubby to lazy to take pic of it under the natural sun... bleh!)

All in all... it's contain 30 pages of mainly Webster's Pages patterned papers... Took me quite sometime to complete the whole album (Drained my mojo out for this...). Zutter-bind them and.. loving the end result!!

Thanks for dropping by!!

Customised Name Tags

Just wanted to share some name tags that I did for a friend of mine...

This is for her hubby... she requested no flowers... but I can't help it.... Need to give him some tiny flowers...... Heh..

And 1 for herself....

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired Blueprints Sketch #73

Wanted to share a couple of finished projects done quite some time back.

In this layout, Meimei with her rubber face.... she was trying to imitate Mummy's scary stare. She succeeded in making a scary cute face...

I used Inspired Blueprints Sketch #73 and mainly Studio Calico kit for the layout.

The cute little bicycle with balloons stamp is from Unity Stamp Company.

A sweet little mother and daughter card....

Another close-up pic of it....

And.. an altered bottle which I bought from Ikea. Trying to reinforce my resolution to keep my expenditure on scrapbook stuff within budget.. a fun small project to use all the scraps and old stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapping marathon

Remember I mentioned in my previous post... about a week or so ago.... that I was in a scrapping frenzy to complete a 12" x 12" wedding album for a friend of mine?

Here is a pic of the after-effect..... (I used my dining table instead of my scrapping space because it's much bigger).

I took a long hard stare at my table.... and REALLY REALLY wonder.... how did I manage to scrap on this pile of UNORGANISED, MESSY table. I can hardly find ANY things!

And.... my trimmer is broken!! Sob... sob... That as my 2nd paper trimmer... sigh..
I'm still contemplating whether to buy a new one.... or just improvised with my metal ruler....

Next.... some of the favorite layouts out of the 20s that I had done. Honestly speaking.... the layouts are much nicer that the photos that I took (thanks to my photography skills).

I misted most of my layouts...

At the end of the frenzy, here is my learning points:

1) Never commit to impossible deadline 'cause when you rush it takes the fun out of it.

2) White cardstock it so versatile. Misting works great on it (my personal opinion).
3) Always keep your paper trimmer carefully and away from dangerous MESSY table.
4) Webster's Pages paper collections are so GORGEOUS!!

Cards for Thoughts

Sorry for being MIA for so long.

Usual excuse... hectic schedule...sigh.. Well actually, I was on a scrapping frenzy last week and after the 5 days scrapping marathon... my whole brain felt so numb till I couldn't do any LOs. It was a mad rush to churn out 20 layouts in 5 days. So... for the past few days, I was occupying myself with sorting out my scrap stash and the photos. So much to do and so little time.

Ok... enough talking.... wanna share some cards that I had created but had yet to post. Great way to use up patterned papers that I bought but decided not to use them in my LOs.
Using my Aida cloth as leaves. Misted it with Glimmer Mist..

I seemed to have a thing for vintage stuff now....

Thanks for dropping by.... Will share a few LOs that I did for a friend soon!

Just a Note Card

As I was cleaning and rummaging through my stash of patterned papers, I found a pack of K & Company collection (well, maybe not that old) and I've got this sudden urge to make some cards with it. Coupled with some flowers and embellishments.... Then I realised that it wouldn't fit into a normal envelope as the flower is too bulky. Inspired by this creative lady, I stamped and embellished a brown paper sack that I had used to wrap up my last year Christmas gifts and used them as envelope.

Thanks for looking!!

Mini Crate Paper notebooks

At last... I manage to use my favorite Crate Paper stash which I had been hoarding for so long! As much as I like to keep them.... I need to purge as fast as I can... because... my Studio Calico kits.. 1 year monthly supply is still NOT being use yet! Aren't they cute?! Each notebook is heavily accentuated embellishments and measures approximately 4" x 4".

I inserted 1 page of patterned paper with simple embellishment into each notebooks.

Thanks for looking!!

Teacher's Day Gift

Yes... yes... It's quite sometime back.... but still... would like to share with you what I had made for last Teacher's Day.

This was custom made for one of my friend... notebooks!!

And this was some gift bags for the girls' teachers. Made use of my felt flower stash that was lying around for so long......

Thanks for dropping by!!

Butterfly Thinking of You Card

A simple card I had made using a chipboard heart. In the mood for Valentine's Day? I guess so...Not as if my hubby is the romantic type.... Hehe..

Thanks for looking!!

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..
