Layout- Wonder

Recently I have been doing layouts. It started with a challenge I had with a friend Betty. We decided to take some time to challenge ourselves to use our scrapbook stash.  In order to get us going, we tried out different sketches from various blog and work on it.

This is a layout I took from the Studio Calico sunday sketches. I was inspired by the blank space in the middle and decide my take with a big title on it.

I also loves the die cut (those small stars) that are from Lawn fawn. It's small and so sweet.
together with the bright colours stickers and embellishment from Bellablvd. This layout looks
pretty bright and chipy.

Did you notice that'Penguin' too? It is one of my favourite wooden stamp I bought in Loft- Bangkok.

Lastly the title- 'Wonder' is a alpha phrase from Amy Tangerine. One cool  scrapbooker!

thanks for dropping by!

I am not the winner

still I love the layout I created. There are sewing and paint on it.

It is my first time to stitch on it, it is not easy at all but definitely fun!

I may try again next time.

Did you notice that rabbit? I love it. so so cute. it is from the Pretty Little Studio series. MM also used it for her Teacher's Day card.

I think it could be better, so much better.....I try again next time.

making cards

it's the time of the day when the children say 'thank you' to the teachers.

On this special day, we decided to make some cards for the teachers

who have been teaching MM, WW and K.

It is so simple but well it took me a long time to get it done with them.Are you able to tell which is done by MM, WW or K?

I'm glad that some of this embellishment have been used.

It was with me for a long long time and I decided to let them have some fun.

Still my favourite has to be the rabbit and the girl which are from the Pretty Little Studio.Very vintage and it brings out a little cuteness of the character. The girls love it so much.

These cards has been given to their teacher respectively and surprisingly MM still came back today telling me that we still need to make one more for another teacher.

Look like another crafty session this weekend with the children.

commissioned work

Have not been blogging for sometime.
anyway today i have something to share with everyone.
It is another cute frames that I had made for a commissioned work.

The customer requested to have the 'little girls' in the frame,
As such, I just started taking some papers and made this.
No title for the frame but love the banner, butterflies, the punch and the colours.
Especially the clouds with the blue distress, it just looks look a bright and sunny days.
don't you think so?







This is a close up of the frame, the 'dear lizzy' bicycle look perfectly well in that corner of the frame. with the little mushroom surrounding it.

This is the second frme with the little cute girls.

the little animals.

well here it is, looks like a little cozy little house with lots of cuteness in it.

Hope you enjoy viewing it!

a baby album

January is a month full of challenge for me.
I decided to take up the task to make a baby album for my cousin.
It was pretty tough as I need to make a total of 20 layouts.
No idea what is the name of the child and no pictures in the intial stage.
So this is what I done using the American Craft baby value set.

I decided not to decorate the cover otherwise it might be a little bulky so simple will be good enough.


In no particular order, these are 4 of the layouts that I had made for the baby.
Love the 'Our family' layout, pink and blue are my favourite combination.

Another 6 layouts shown here. Other than American Craft prodcuts,
I also used October Afternoon paper, die cut and chipboard. I find it so diffcult
just using AC products, so with a bit of colours from the OA, I find the layouts
more lively and cute.



These layouts below are done much earlier in January. Using the grids as layouts and the
masking tapes. A mixture of pink and blue and it is my first time trying out grey as a base.
Hope my cousin doesn't mind the pink layout for boy.



The last 4 layouts with baby photos which was taken 2 weeks back when I visited the little baby.
I kept taking pictures that I forgot to ask about the baby name. In total 20 layouts, it made me smile while flipping through the pages. Hope my cousin will journal on each page about the process of the baby and show it to me with cute photos of the baby.

scrapbooking using some Elsie's stuff

Sometimes I really ponder should I intergrate this blog that is to talk about my nieces with my scrapbooking stuff. At one point opening another blog just on crafty means I have to update both reguarly if I can which equal to time consumption. I really admired those bloggers who can manage both the blog and work well.

However today I just want to show this very cute layout that I made sometimes back
Using Cosmo Cricket paper and Elsie Flannigan's craft kit. This kit is no longer available but
you can check out Red Velvet shop for other scrapbooking kit that she offered.
The kit was meant for making a mini album but I feel that it matched pretty well with the layout so I quickly cut out all these cuties and placed it in the layout.

It is just so cute cute cute!!!!!I wanted to submit to the 2pea but thinking that it doesn't have the scrapbooking element in it, I decided to place it here in my blog for friends to view.

Hope this layout bring you some inspiration and a lovely day.

baby mini album

This was done in a crop session at Made with Love.

Teacher Jasmine taught a very simple mini album which we can use our scrap trash to make.

I used the October Afternoon paper to make a baby album for my nephew.

Pictures below are the pages I made, mainly blue because it is a boy.

Documenting little boy first few months of growing up.

Daddy's girl

just completed the layout yesterday night.

it was a sketch taken from Studio Calico blog a few months back.

Finally I get to play with it using my SC kit.

the picture was taken in the zoo so i had placed the elephant at the bottom of the LO.

Just find it looked cute overall.

Don't you think so?

a pink mini album

Presenting my long overdue mini album that I had made last year.
This was a free tutorial from Lilibee.
Unfortunately she had closed her blog but you can view her work in the FACEBOOK.

I used sassfrasslass paper for a baby girl.
Loving the owl and all the pink in this album.
Especially the pink buttons placed in the heart shape.

This album is now in the hand of the baby's mummy.
Hope she will pen down all the little detail of her baby girl in this album
and take a look once in a while.

I am working on this...

today trying out to do one LO using my studio calico kit.

just did some stamping, inking and now thinking of what

embellishment and title to add on it.

with that I will submit to Laines Papeterie 's gallery.

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
