Another layout

Another layout of the same photo for my sis-in-law.

Again, using The Scrappiest sketch #105.
I changed the colour of the patterned paper to suit a 'guy' layout. I handcut the circle again using my trusty Corelle plate as a guide. ;P

Using the twine to look like a 'scribble' on the LO.

Stamping... stamping away... Heh..

1st day of school

Meimei had started school this year. She will be in the same class as J, my nephew. He is standing in the middle of the smaller photo.

She was really excited to go to school on the very first day. She woke up on time without any difficulty was so willing to shower and change into her uniform.

I know I know... I have not scrap a LO on Ah Ger's first day in school. Soon soon ok....

Using The Scrappiest #105 sketch:

Misted the background (as usual).... love how they change the look of plain cardstock....

I can't really remember but I think this is the first time I tried stamping on the LO itself. Normally, I would stamp on a plain cardstock first and cut it out.... just in case the stamped image is unclear. I coloured the heart-shaped with copic marker and rub some stickles on it.

I also tried to stamp and embossed an image directly onto the cardstock. Love the texture effect it gave. The alarm clock image is so cute! It's from Unity Stamp.

Thanks for looking!

Rain..rain... go away..

It's been raining most of the time for the past few days.... No sunshine = no dry clothes... and this has always been freaking me out~. I hate to see dirty laundry piling up.. waiting to be wash.. I hate seeing washed laundry being hang to dry for a few days... and still being damp. Don't really know why.... but it's affecing my mood... and I will get very irritable... Comtemplating whether is it worth to buy a dryer... we shall see....
Let's get on to a happier topic.... new layout to share!

Using The Scrappiest Sketch #102,

I like the 'stand-out' effect of a layout when using white cardstock as background. Used to be quite plain-looking (before playing with Maya Mist, Glimmer Mist and stamps) but I like it better now.... since I can make use of all the mist that I had bought...

Using stamp from Unity, I repeatedly stamp the image over the misted cardstock.

Painstakingly, handstitched the little Xs over the border using some old embroidery thread.... just to add some texture. Add a little of this and that (mostly from the old stash) just to add some tiny details.

Thanks for dropping by!
