3 Generations Layout

This is a priceless photo of my hubby with his brothers and dad and baby Lucas taken during his first birthday party back in September. It's all THREE generations of the Chin men all together! How wonderful is that?

The layout is inspired by Sketchy Thursdays plus further inspiration from Scrap-It-lah. Below are the criteria on Scrap-It-lah's Elia's October Challenge:

1.      Old book paper, sheet music or something similar downloaded off the internet & printed out.

2.      Fussy-cutting.

3.      Hand-stitching using embroidery floss.

Here's my layout:

Priceless photo of all 3 generations! Alas, Lucas is fast asleep here but oh well, it's still a wonderful shot nonetheless. It's not easy to get everyone together for a photo opp :) Hubby's the one in the center with the wide smile holding Lucas.

Sketch 10.27 on Sketchy Thursdays. Love this sketch! The flaglines are so cool :)

I'm using Simple Stories' Generations collection here. Just simply LOVE this collection! Here are some close-ups:

Title says: "3 Generations of Chin Together" (Chin is my husband's family surname). Some fussy-cut flowers here as well.

Scrolls made with old book paper and tied with floss. The doily shape is fussy cut and hand-stitched with floss.

Border die cut with Spellbinder and hand-stitched with floss

Background is spray misted with some TA in Red Velvet. The flagline is held together by these gorgeous MM antique copper brads and more floss.

I'm glad I managed to complete this LO and upload in time, thankfully Lucas decided to take a long nap today otherwise I don't think I would have made it! *pheeewww* :) Anyway there's still time to play-along, so head on over to Scrap-It-lah's  and Sketchy Thursdays now :)

Thanks for looking! Have a lovely weekend ahead :)

From Workmates to Best Babes

It's not very often that one finds great friends at the workplace, but I'm blessed to say I did and this page is a tribute to these lovely girls. We've shared almost a good three years of joy, tears, quarrels and of course endless hours of gossips over lunch and coffee. Even now that we've all left the old workplace, we still try to make a point to catch up every now and then. Back in the day, they were my daily remedy for the Monday blues, and I use 'Monday' loosely here ;)

Everything is Pink Paislee's Daily Junque, except for the fibres which are Momoyo. Alphas are AC and buttons are random from my stash.

I made these fan flowers from Scrap-A-Little's tutorial. Helen's got such amazing flower tutorials and she makes it so easy.

Made these little fans with toothpicks. Pardon the messy liquid pearls, clumsy fingers kinda messed them up abit :(
Oh and ACG stands for our ex-company; Alliance Cosmetic Group. The photo was taken at the office car park area.

I really love this line (Daily Junque), they are perfect for almost any theme! I have an entire paper pack of it to last me forever :)
