Hello Mini

 
I learnt to make this simple mini album from Marion Smith. Tried searching the video from Prima U stream but can't seem to find it. sorry for those who wants to make this. It is 3'X4". I used the 6"X6" Yuki paper pad.
 

As mentioned it is a very simple book so I made this with my three nieces at different time. They trimmed the paper and pick their own embellishment. I tried to make it simple and easy for them so that they will enjoy making it.
 
Sorry for the blur pictures, I took it without flash on a dark and cloudy day. If there is more sunlight, the pictures might be better. Here is the mini album done by Min Min. I gave her the Yuki chipboard and some October Afternoon stickers and this is what she came up with.
 
Each page comes with a mini pocket and they can put their favourite pictures of small little
paper in it. Min has no ideas what to do with it so we put the extra photos inside the pocket.
 






 
I still in love with Prima's Yuki paper. Bright, colour and so cheerful. It just blend well with the photos. If anyone interested in making, I can try to make it into a tutorial.
 
As for the words with label, I used DYMO to print out the word. A manual machine which I need to press.
 
I hope you enjoy veiwing and please try it out. It is very fun!

Lovely mail




 

This lovely webster mail came in last month July. I was so elated to see this box when I came back home. It's probably the best buy I have online.

I can't remember how much it is but looking at those beautiful product just made me extrememly happy. Especially it came just a few days before my birthday.

    Let's take a look at those items closely.

 

 
 
These are the four 6X6 paper pad. I still have no idea what I want to do with it. maybe a card or mini album. With pictures of my nieces and nephew might make the paper look so much better.


My niece loves bling bling. I am still a little lost what to do with it. Still the colour
and the design just melt my heart.
 woo wow 25yards of ribbon. My goodness that's a lot. any ideas what I can do with this?
 This flowers and charms are just so sweet. thinking of black and white pictures might
able to make those charm stands out well. There is also 12 pieces of 12X12 diecut which I did not take any picture.
 
Hope you enjoy viewing my online shopping goodies. My next online good is a Kitty....
should be coming to me soon in Septemember. I shall blog about it next time.
thanks for dropping by.

let's count down...

 
Just another 8 more days, i will be taking a plane to somewhere far away. It is a new place to explore and discover. Cool weather, very greenery and good food!
 
This time i will like to bring my Smash and Instant Mini. I will try to pack light and take lots of pictures. Do you know where country ?
 
Not sure anyone will leave a comment, if anyone does and got it correct, yes I will give you a small present. Guessing entry will close on 30 August. So take sometime and make a guess.
 
One of the preparation is renew the passport for the two young one. We dressed the girls up and make
them stand behind the wall and started to click click click.
 
These 'passport' pictures are pretty entertaining especially K. It's so funny. I did ask her why she close her mouth and her reply is 'my dad asked me to'
 
 
 
This is pictures of W. I printed out one of this pic for scrapping and her reply is' this look sexy, i don't like it'. I was pretty alarmed by her remark. She was dressed in a ballerina dress and she looked so sweet.

 
Passports are ready for collection now. it's time to get ready for our road trip and adventure!

Misting guest book

  Last Saturday I was invited to my colleague's wedding. At the same time I was asked to design her guestbook. She told me that she would like to have lots of space for her guests to write on it. So I decided to use misting, masking and stamping on her book. In case she does not like it, I actually sprayed on the cardstock so that she can paste on the book if she like it.  Below are the pics of the pages I had made.



First I used the distress ink to distress the edge, and followed by misting a few colours. for the below pic, I used the paper Dollie as mask and spray over it. Use a phrase stamp from Amy Tangerine and a fawn stamp from October Afternoon and the circle dot stamp from Studio Calico.

Once again I mist and then i place a Heidi Swapp flower mask and that is how the page is created. The rest of the pages are relatively the same method just different colours.





Loving the birdcage stamp from the basic -grey.
the heart shape stamp from the Studio /calico Kit and the leave image are from the basic grey's stamp

The silhouette is from the Maya road and love life is from Ali Edward

I feel so satisfield misting and using those stamp and mask supplies that was placed on the shelf. My next challenge is to use 10 piece of pattern paper to make a mini album and the remaining is to scrap a few layout.

Need to think think think for some ideas.
