Graphic 45 Bird Song Birthday Card

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Bird Song collection from G45! I loved them too much to do anything with them! I finally found good use for them on a special card for a very special aunt on her 60th birthday.

Taaadaaaa!!!

Scrappy Crafty Chicas with CS Sketch #230

Hi again! I'm on a roll here. I actually created this layout this very afternoon itself. I'm suddenly just bursting with mojo after a full day workshop yesterday with Jaz Lee. I'll have a separate post on the class projects, it was such fun getting together with my croppy group of friends. In fact this photo print was given to me yesterday by Chris, a fellow crafter.

I got these papers from Papermarket at Raffles when I was down in Singapore in August. hadn't had the chance to touch it till today! *yay* Seriously I have stash enough to line up from here to Timbuktoo... and yet I still keep on hoarding and hoarding.... anyway here you go...

Layout using Teresa Collins' My Story. Banners are Hambly's.

These beautiful ladies, from left to right are... Yuz of Blossominch, Liza of MissCraftee and Chris whose gorgeous work is on display at Papier Love (LSS) and lastly that's me :)

Again, using an inspiring sketch from Creative Scrappers:

Here are some close-ups:

I had fun layering and layering...

Prima mask and gesso over a layer of bright orange spray-mist.

Tulle trim + fussy cut Hambly banner + liquid pearls.

Really lovin this color combo ^_^

I'm so happy I managed to complete a layout today and also finally get to update this blog.  Seeing my scrappy friends again really inspired me to keep up the craft despite my crazy work schedule :)

Have a blessed week ahead! XOXO

Kimchi Party with CS Sketch #229

Whenever I'm lacking mojo, I know I'll pick up some zest from Creative Scrappers, and this sketch plus all the DT projects gave me an idea to scrap these pics of me and the hubs at my 2011 birthday lunch. We both love kimchi so much we can actually eat it everyday!

Our Kimchi Party with Creative Scrappers #229

I so happen to have this 12' x 12' pattern paper with the grid pattern that matches the Korean decor of the restaurant. Those fussy cut butterflies are so gorgeous, they are from Graphics45 Olde Curiosity. Here's the inspiring sketch:

Here are some close-ups:

Close-up of the title plus some hidden kimchi in the 2 mini bottles maybe? And some 7G tape peeking up from underneath.

Love this satin Prima bloom with the ready blings in the centre.

Spray painted doilies, fussy cut butterflies and random bling.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great Sunday! :)

Little Darling Baby

Happy Labor Day! It's gonna be a busy month of May for me! I'll be traveling to Singapore and Penang this month while preparing for a regional meeting in June. It will be a while till my next post, probably after June! LOL :)

Anyhow, I discovered these aweseome Little Darlings collection from Graphic 45 at Papier Love last week and came up with this cutesy layout for my dear boy.

A photo of my dear boy in his bath tub last May, he was around 8 months old.

Little Darlings - Graphic 45

The vintage baby illustrations on this collection is absolutely to-die-for! I spent 2 nights just fussy-cutting the pictures - a great way to just chill and de-stress after work!

Well thanks for popping by and hope to see you real soon :) Have a great day and God bless!

Kisses for Creative Scrappers #202

Woohooo! It feels so good to back in my blog, it's been almost 2 months since my last post! I managed to create a layout 2 weeks back and I finally found time to upload it. I so happen to be off work today *yay*

Here's a layout inspired by Creative Scrappers Sketch #202 using a photo of our dear boy back in October 2011 at a family gathering at Sheraton Imperial KL.

Kisses for precious Lucas!

Here's the awesome inspiring sketch from Creative Scrappers :

After such a long interval I really went crazy with mixing all kinds of colors and patterns here plus paint splatters and misting and fussy cutting. I missed scrapping so much!

Well, I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, family gathering plus it's my dear hubby's birthday this Monday! Now I gotta go rush off and make a card for him! *wink*

Happy weekend y'all! *muax*

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 :)
