It's crafty time

This is my first handmade photo frame for the year 2014. Its a good bye gift to someone who is leaving to the States. It is a simple frame which main focus is on the Lala land stamp. I have a crush on those stamps when I visited CHA in 2011. The stamps are so cute and I love the design team works so much that I took so many photos of them.  Glad that I finally put them on the frame.

For the Lala land stamp, I coloured them with copic markers. I am still trying to learn to use various colour tone to illustrate the shadow but somehow it still doesn't look that good.

I also added the Prima flowers to make it a more feminine touch. As for the title, instead of using the Thickers, I used Elles Studio tag. I like how it turned out and the title [really really sweet] blend in with any photos that is going to put in the frame.

hope you like it!

something beautiful

I am missing in action for almost 4 months.

Wow time flies really very fast and it is already 31 Dec 2012.

Not very sure what I have done for the past 4 months.

Other than scrapbooking at times, watching tv and reading blogs

I did not really do much. 

Today I would like to share one of my favourite pieces of work.

This is one of a commissioned frame that is requested for a birthday girl.

No pink, no cute stuff, only blue and green.

It was difficult and challenge for me. I have no idea who this person is and

"cute' is totally out was tough. My client trusted me so much that she is confident that

it is going to be a very nice one. Given 2 weeks to brainstorm and working on it.

This is what I have done.

I added a little vintage girl from 'Melissa Frances' and some blink from "Prima"

 A Paris tower decoration paper which my friend gave it to me from Japan.
I also added the little bird house which  I had from a class. Layering is one of the methods
that I applied for this frame.

butterflies are cut from DCWV paper. I was a little concern that the butterflies are huge
but it turn out pretty good on the frame. Also did you notice the wording? I did some stamping and embossing.

The charm on the ribbon is from Websters. I have this love hate relationship with Webster. I love their products so much but somehow I just can't blend it with my style. Glad that it turned out so well on this frame.

My client is extreme happy with it. I do hope the birthday day is thrilled and happy too.

Hope this pretty frame does brighten your days too!
Enjoy the last day of 2012 and have a Happy New Year.
I should be going to work and back home watching my korean variety and drama.

See you in 2013!

a cute frame

I started making such frame a few years back.
It started when I attended one of the classes in Laines Papeterie.
Soon I started to put some cute items on it like what you have been mainly from
the brand Sassfrass Lass.

When I am free I will start making some and give it as friends as presents.
And this happen to be one of a gift to my friend.
Hope she will like it
