Old School

Hello fellow scrapper...

How are you? I hope everything is great on your end. Did you get to scrap? err...i did! It was definite a great feeling for sure. I have yet to come to an exhaustion...i hope not! Hehe... Almost every night i'm in my craft room. Poor hubby, always left alone downstairs. Not that he minds but i know i should make a point to spend more time with him. What about you? Does your hubby mind if you spend your nights scrapping? Well i hope not!

Ohh i was little excited....err...maybe too excited that my name was announced as one of the winner of NSD Echo Park Challenge last week. My latest mini album - "Bit and Pieces of You" that got me that spot! Thanks Echo...it was great to see my name in your FB Page!. Can't wait to receive my goodies.

During my recent meetup with my scrapping buddy... Jaime Lee, i was given an opportunity to play some of her stuff in her shop. For those who doesn't know her...Jaime is the owner of online scrapbook shop called...Scrappin Studio. I started my playtime with the line from Pink Paislee called Old School. Back in my craft room, i had bunch of die cuts envelope which is about 6.5" x 6.5". I had that custom cut for me and i all almost all the colors. So i thought it would be nice to make use of the envelopes. So here it is....my Old School Album. Thanks Jaime!

Do check out Scrapping Studio, as Jaime is offering 50% on this line. I hope my project will inspire you to try this line.

Couldn't Get Enough

I'm talking about Echo Park Papers. Hahaha...i'm always in love with their collections.Colorful and fun bright colors does make scrapping easier for me...i find it easy to match all their pattern papers. Every time i buy Echo Park Papers, i will always ended up with 2 set of each pattern paper. I'm always very fickle when it comes to Echo Park papers....everything looks nice.

I'm not sure how you ladies celebrate NSD...but i was lucky to be stuck in my scrapping room for the whole day and 1 created 3 projects!

Project 1........Bit and Pieces Of U...Mini Album

Notes how do i create them:

1. This album is made of Maya Road Canvas Album.
2. The background on the canvas was done by using alcohol ink which i blend with water and i dab it to the canvas.
   
3. Once it is dry i spray the canvas using Tattered Angel Misting Spray
   
4. This album was decorated using Springtime, Playground And Little Girl Collection.
5. Most papers that i used i adhered with Mod Podge

Project 2...Layout ... My Little Boys

Did you see how much fun i had creating this layout? I was actually doing at least 3 layers of papers. I basically adhered the first layer and then i plan my 2nd layer. I used quite a bit of 3D foam tape which i choose the thickest ones.

Project 3 ..... Layout...You and Me

I used the papers from Be Mine Collection. The papers are really romantic and lovely for picture like this! Hehe...It has the shabby chic colors and i just love all the papers inside and it does created a really nice palette. The beautiful elements such as swirls, hot air balloon, keys , bird cages....does make a scrapbooker like me to make full use of the papers. Totally in love with this goodness.

I hope u like what u see here and I really really thankful for those who drop by my blog and leave lovely comments for me. You gals rocks!

Later..

NSD @ 3 Scrappy Boys

How did you spend your NSD today? I've been scrapping as early at 9am and still going strong! LOL. I'm actually working on mini album ...its been a while since my last one but i have to admit mini album really takes time. Well just an update... check out 3 Scrappy Boys Forum as we have so many excitements just for NSD. There is games, challenges and lots of prizes lying around. I have prepared one challenge specially for today and i'm throwing some RAK too. But before you can join the challenge, you must register yourself in the forum. The forum can be accessed at 3 Scrappy Boys Forum. Ok rules for my challenge...

Create a layout and you MUST incorporate PAINT element. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long i can see the paint....you will stand a chance to win the RAK. Upload your LO is the forum gallery and put up a title PAINT - followed by your title. Easy right???


Ok, i hope all of you had a blast day today. I will pass you on to my partner...another DT member of 3 Scrappy Boys .... Jennie McGarvey. Have a look on what she has to offer for NSD.

Take care...

Headache

Spending too much hours scrapping cause you headache? Gosh, i spend 3 consecutive days trying to figure out how to create an album which is not the ordinary. As an instructor, i get them a lot when my students will come back and telling me that they want extra ordinary album, layout or projects. But to me, i believed that creativity is very subjective. Everyone has their own style which hard to describe by words. I respect them in every way and always been my inspiration.

I'm not ready to show the full pics yet but this is my truly extra mini popup album/ frame display which took me 3 days to finally settled with the look! Lots of popup elements that i incorporated in. Not easy but the outcome is very rewarding.


Since i spend so much time on that popup frame, i was really rushing when i complete the new challenge at Once Upon A Sketch,it wasn't due till the 14th but i was having the urge to do it by today. I'm not that happy with the outcome , i'll do better next time. Here is my take.


Back to 3 Scrappy Boys, their May kit is out for sale. Check out one of their May Kit...its so awesome and their prices i must say is quite affordable. And they are on 10% Sale!


Till another update....take care!

Holiday and "Socialites"

We all need holidays, short or long, sea or mountain, relaxation... we have many reasons to take holidays! I just came back from a short trip to Phuket, Thailand. It was a good short break for my family especially the kids. We stayed at Club Med and i'm amazed with the GOs...the long hours they spend with the guest , entertain people like us...override all the "not so good" thing about Club Med. Thank You so much for that.

I'm happy to come back to scrapping table with this news....i'm the new TCR Socialites Girl! I love the word "Socialites"! That means lets get social with fellow scrapbookers around the world! This is really exciting and i'm definitely having lots of fun here. Btw, the new palette is out...and again...the colors are just sooooo lovely. Have a look at my take.

Back at 3 Scrappy Boys...we are definitely planning some fun for upcoming National Scrapbooking Day. Here is some peak on my challenge.

Do pop by at their blog for more details.

Till again...

I'm all excited

I'm so excited...if you can see me dancing over here...you must be laughing at me. LOL. I just got a call from tv producer that they have asked me to come on a show called Wanita Hari Ini (Local Malay Women Show) to talk about my scrapbook ideas. My slot is scheduled to be on air tomorrow at noon. I'm still trying to figure out what to say , but wish me luck!!!

I had sometime this morning to play with Echo Park Spring Time Collection and i decided to play along on Once Upon A Sketch. Their next challenge is really challenging your journalling skills. Nadia , seriously your blog is getting awesome. I love it to the max!

Here is the challenge if you wanna play along too...

Your journalling criteria for this challenge is to write the reason you chose to scrap this photo
(e.g. to remember this moment, to remember someone, to send a message to someone, because this photo makes you smile, the photo shows a personal achievement, your child's milestone etc. etc. )

Your journalling can be any type i.e. handwritten, printed etc.. and as long as you wish it to be.

REMEMBER: If you are making a card or altered project you DO NOT need to include the journalling criteria BUT you MUST use a quote somewhere on your card or project.....

And the sketch looks like this...

And my take this time...

Fairies in Wonderland

I've been so overwhelmed with all the lovely comments from around the world. Thank you so much for liking what i do. That really means a lot to me.

I just want to share a little peek of my latest creations ordered for a wedding reception. I had so much fun creating....i'm feeling as if i should get married again after looking at the pictures. LOL
