Discover Paradise

I think I need to buy a new stack of white cardstock. Mist, paints and inks are so fun to use that I have been reaching for the cardstock to play. I made this with a mask from Pink Paislee.

I added random stitching with my sewing machine.

The little bird house from Prima is so cute. Just inked it a little to bring attention to it.

I cannot believe that I caught the little one’s bug again. How could that even happen ! Off to take a break.

Heartbreaker

If you ask him to smile for the camera, he flashes his megawatt grin and starts straight at the lens. Don’t you love them at this age. No airs around them and they are so ultra sweet.

Do you spy the letter “E” that I pieced together myself. I just hate it when I have half a pack of alphas left and they cannot seem to spell any word that I want. I’m glad this brainwave happened at the right time.

Alright I’m off to look for some creative inspiration. Will be back with another post soon.

Special

Just to prove that Prima papers can be used for boy pages, here’s one that I did with flowers and paper dolly.

I misted the white Prima flower at the bottom with Black Cherry glimmer mist from Tattered Angel.

See it’s doesn’t have to be all girly and boys look good with flowers too. A new start to the week and my younger one is down with a throat infection again. Good thing I have my scrapbook stash to keep me happy while I worry about the kids.

Do drop by soon.

Very Determined

How was your Valentine’s Day ? I’m sharing a layout to day with a lovely heart shaped paper dolly. I did this for a challenge over at Made With Love’s forum last month. The challenge was to use only patterned paper and embellishment on the layout and to include at least 2 types of distressing ink, paints etc.

Loving the paper dollies that a friend brought back from her trip to Japan.

Nothing like white paint to draw your eye in.

So how has the week been ? The kids have been sick but everyone is on the road to recovery now so I’m trying my best to get back into the swing of things.

I believe you will learn to swim

Here is February’s sketch over at Ed’s Sketch. All you need is to follow the sketch and use at least one sentiment stamp on your layout.

Sharing with you my take on the sketch.

Close up of the stamping and my attempt at using mixed alphas for my title.

I love those die cut butterflies from K&Co !

The little one is sick at home so it’s time to go give him a little cuddle. Have a good start to your week.!

Featured on We R Memory Keepers

Hope you are looking forward to the new week. I have a toot to share -  my layout has been featured over at WRMK’s facebook page.

Here is the layout:

I like the layered flower.

Come back soon.

M is for memories

Trying my hand at another altered canvas. This time I made use of this sticker from 7G as the main focus. Gessoed, misted and painted the canvas with abandoned. Hope you like it.

Still one more day of the weekend. so I’m going to enjoy the rest of it.

Drop by again.

Relax

I think I’ve been using my mask just with mist and paints for the longest time. One day it struck me that I could use my distress inks on them. Yes it took me a long time to reach that conclusions. But better late then never. Can you see the effects on the paper !! Totally delicious.

 

A little handmade stacked flowers with a glittery Pink Paislee brad.

I can’t get enough of these tiny kraft envelops but I can’t bear to use the ones in my stash. I guess I should ration them out one at a time else they will just stay in the boxes forever.

 

Have a great weekend.

Fly like the wind

It’s the Lunar New Year celebrations over here is Singapore and all the feasting and staying out has taken it’s toll. I’m feeling under weather but at least I have enough energy to share this page on the blog. I used pictures of my son racing down the luge at Sentosa.

Love the die cuts from Pink Paislee and I used a bunched all over my page.

Stamped and embossed the edge of the paper.

Be back soon with more scrapping pages. Cheers !

My Favorite Totoro

Oops sorry for the silence, I’ve been too tired out with all the early morning waking to post anything. The younger one has been waking up in the middle of the night and disrupting our sleep.

Anyway I’ve squeezed in a little bit of time to share this page before I eyes close by themselves ! My boys were delighted to find the Ghilbi Museum during our trip to Tokyo in 2010. Even though everything was in Japanese, that didn’t stop them from enjoying themselves. Of course Totoro is their favorite movie character

Just wanted to highlight the flower in yellow. I saw a tutorial on the web and tried my hand at making it with felt. Totally surprised that it turned out beautifully.

Good night all. Got to catch up on my sleep.
