I need new Christmas papers & Embellishments!!

LOL. Another round of buying?

Oh dear, it is never ending of spending for scrapbooking eh.

Here's another card, made from older christmas stash...as in "that's all I have stash". LOL

Just another simple card as we end October. :)

xoxo

Peace. Love. Joy.

Oh boy, I'm so loving this sentiment stamp.

That little teal reindeer inspired this card. So to highlight this guy, I added a pearl on his garland. Washi-ed the tag, add a sentiment and some blings, and vohla, a super simple card. :)

If you are looking for the same washi tape,do drop by Cardpucinno to get yours.

Christmas please take your time to come, I still have loads to do.

Wishing you folks a happy day!!

xoxo

The most wonderful time of the year.

While October is my most favorite month of the year, Christmas is the my most favorite time of the year. :)

So many things to do before christmas hits, and before we know it, we'll be welcoming 2013.

2012 has been a wonderful year, not all smooth sailing.....pretty challenging at times but it is a year of great significance of growth & maturity.

As October comes to an end, let us cherish the last 2 months of the year with great Joy, Love & Peace.

*SMILE* Its gonna be a beautiful day.

Smile & remember my victories

Hello dear friends,

SMILE! its mid week. :)

I'm not a fan of the word "s t r e s s", I prefer to term it as overwhelming. This pass 1.5 weeks have been VERY overwhelming for me, a lot of anxiety & tears but God is great, I stood on His words & He delivered me.

At the peak of everything, I just stop, surrendered & confessed Ps 77.

Ps 77:11-14

¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
¹² I will consider all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”

¹³ Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who performs miracles;
    you display your power among the peoples.

I remembered my Victories and again, with God on my side, I WON!!

So just a little something I made to take my mind off work, something pretty scraplifted from two peas in a bucket. :)

Faux weaving card. Such a fun way to use up scraps. Definitely will try more variation with this technique.

Have a good day my lovely friends.

Smile & remember the Victories that God has won for you!

xoxo

Hi Poser Boy

LOL. Hello Monday. Embracing you with a smile. Take that!

I completed a fun LO last night. Everything came so fast together and I was so excited to stack, stack & stack.

Nothing beats a full blown crafty urge waiting to explode. :)

It was totally unexpected to meet this little one at motofun last saturday morning. He was a darling.


In love with this layout!!! YAY!!



It all started out with this paperbag, was so inspired by the pink hearts.
Aint it cute? And a lovely match to Lucas's romper, it was pinkish red. :)

My washi tapes came in this cute little bag.

Yummylicous washi tapes from Cardpucinno. If you have not check out their little shop, do drop by to stock up on some lovely washis.

Congratulations again Josie & Cindy for this cute shop. *hugsss*

xoxo

This card makes me happy

I love confettis. Do you? They make me happy.

Scraplifted this card from Celine's blog: http://www.celinenavarro.com/2012/10/inspiration-thursday-with-melissa.html by Melissa. I was immediately inspired and couldnt wait to leave work.

So this is my version of the card. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Please excuse the crooked sewing...LOL, its kinda slippery stiching on plastic.

Seriously, I had to literally stop myself from putting anymore cutesies into this plastic. Super Love.

xoxo

Peanut Butter Waffles + Teh Tarik = Our Favorite

ITs Monday again. Gosh, how fast did the weekend flew by? :) too fast.

So glad I made the time to instagram some pictures (last month) & to document them. Nothing beats a simple Layout with some heartfelt journalling.

A happy girl when I see something completed. Yay!

Would you like to know what changed my style of scrapbooking? :)

Happy Memories.

Wishing you a blessed Week 42!!

xoxo

Just Do nothing night

Hello Friday. I welcome you with open arms.

This week is quite a busy week for me, busy at work and also busy attending meetings from Mon- Thurs....and tonight I have church. A little bit sleep deprived, only getting sleep 4-5 hours a night. Kinda looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, but not for long, coz we need to clean our house.

Anyways, I squeezed in some time to create this LO.

This is one of those LOs where I'm not too sure if I should add more embellishments or leave it as it is....hmmmm....

I ran out of 'S' in this pack of thickers, so I substitute it with '5', not too obvious right?

I remember this night very clearly. I was soo zonked out from work, came back.... took my bath and just parked myself in front of the tv. We were suppose to eat out, but I just couldnt move...in fact I was in my boxers n tank, ready to ZzzzZZ. Aaron was so sweet, he offered to make dinner...just a simple red sauce pasta. It was So so delicious, that I had 2 helpings. After which, he wash the dishes and tucked me to bed.

What a blessed girl I am right? Indeed. How Sweet it is to be loved by him.

Little moments worth cherishing. :)

Have a wonderful weeekend.

xoxo

Boy am I on a roll here.

Aha. So surprise myself. (Go Sharon!)

I think whats leading me to create so much in the last one month is my Printer & Instagram(love, love, love). Its the best tool & App for scrappers. I find it so liberating to be able to select pictures in my PJs and print them as and when I want. Oh and Instagram (mamamia), where do I begin that I'm soooo in love with this app? I love how the convenience of a mobile camera can turn into something so pretty. So LOVE!!!

Created this Layout last week.

Very meaningful LO for me. Lots of funny moments with this dinner. First of all, look at the size of this Australian crab claw? Its hugeeee, and of coz it came with a big price tag too. 3 crabs for RM600+ , truly a jaw breaker moment...LOL. Our dinner that night cost us RM1200++.

IT was indeed the highlight of our mini reunion in KL. :)

Have a blessed day.

xoxo

Crafting accidents turned pretty. :)

Oh how I enjoyed creating this LO. It was so fun & inspiring and MESSY!!!

If you look close enough at the picture below, I started out by splattering white paint, it was literally all over my desk but my paper....arghhhh. So I decided that white was too subtle and changed it to black ink.....it just went SPLAT......I was like damn....but I gave it a second look and it was kinda pretty actually. LOL. Almost like a picasso feel to it, dont you think so? hahahhaha.

Perfect FIT!!
Loving my new ballet flats, I've been wearing it everywhere. So super comfy & CUTE!!. And and I love love the Amy Tangerine date stamp, cant get enough of it. :)

Isnt it cute?? {LOVE, LOVE, LOVE}

Keep creating my dear friends. Blessed week 41.

xoxo

My little sunshine.

This girl turned 4 on Sep 26th.

Isnt she such a cutie? We are absolutely crazy over her.

This paper was perfect for her....they have the same hair style. LOL. {Loves}

Just a simple & fun LO to remember what are her favorites at the moment. They really grow very fast.



Have a blessed week 41!!

xoxo

I love you FRIDAY!!

This sneak is now ready to be revealed. Drumroll please.

Hello there....

 The good news is, this card is made mostly from scraps.

The picture below, shows a little craft boo boo. I accidently ink the other stamp which was stuck on the same block, then I tried cleaning it with wet tissue (silly move, I know, it sorta tore the paper)....so to cover the mistake...

Tada!! Cover it with a butterfly or any embellishment.

Such a simple card, and I used my scraps. YAY!

Have a blessed weekend friends. :)

xoxo

Inking on Layouts:: Tutorial

My first tutorial.

Basically I just wanna share a very cool way of inking Layouts.  :)

Here goes...

1. Purchase any black ink from your local stationary shop. I used a marker refill ink but I'm guessing the effects from a fountain pen ink would be nicer.

2. The ink comes with a tiny plastic pump which allows you to pick up the ink.

3. Just sprinkle & have fun!!! (This ink tends to bleed a little on the paper), so I would suggest to try it first on scrap paper.

So here you have it. Simple, Messy-less, no wash & cheap.

If you try it, let me know.

Happy Crafting!!

xoxo

Its Mid week.

Hello dear friends,

I'm inspired by this phrase " You are exactly where you need to be". Puts a smile on my face & gives me fuel to continue my 9-5 job.

When its time to go, I will go. Are you in the same position as I am? Do not be discouraged, all in HIS time.

I'm just enjoying the everyday life. When I have a little extra time, I craft! It is indeed theraputic for me.

Remember this sneek?

Embossed Washi tapes. So Love!!

I scraplifted this card from a crafter. (Cant really remember who, but Thank you!!) it is such a brilliant design. I love how clean the white embossed background looked. One of my favorite cards so far. Dont we just love anything banner inspired? Such a hot trend. :)

------------------------------------------------------------
Psssst, I was a busy girl last night. Creating a LO. YAYness, so so happy.

What have you been up too?

xoxo

A personal journey:: Scrapbooked

Hello friends.

Its Monday. Is it a Monday high? or Monday Blues?

I've learned to accept that waking up on a Monday morning to work is part n parcel of my life right now. The day will come when my dream of becoming a homemaker will be fulfilled, all in His timing.....and so I'm thankful to have a job that pays my bills, supports my ministry, supports my side business, supports my hobby & passion & the occasional materials indulgement *winks* . Thank you Jesus, I am indeed grateful.

There is a sense of freedom that comes from accepting & surrendering our circumstances. Its liberating. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the LO created, this is something to remember in my 2012 highlights. When we are obedient to God, He takes care of everything. Amen?!

That is why I have to document my thoughts, what I felt, what I went thru on this journey. A very special LO...indeed.

The rest of the technique & creativeness is self explanatory. :)

A brand new ME!

Adding paint to LOs. FUN!!

Its coming together...

Loving those handmade em-bellies. 

Something from my heart:: Something I firmly believe & testify.
God NEVER fails. Give Him a chance.

Have a beautiful week. Let us treasure every moment.

xoxo

Friday already? Yippie YAY!

Weekend is here. So wonderful.

I'm super inspired with grids, like major SUPER! More if its sewn grids. Takes a bit more time but I'm in {Love}  :)

Here's a sneak i took on instagram. (Btw, all pics are taken from mobile, our baby canon is in workshop...*sobssss*)

I drew some faint lines with pencil and erased it once its sewn.

Can you tell my sewing skills are not quite there yet? LOL
How did it turn out? It was kinda challenging to have 9 boxes on a small card.
Was trying to not clutter.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

A challenge to myself for using scraps to create this name sign. Oh boy, super challenging. I used a few new elements...cant help it.

Wasnt too bad. But I prefer using new things. :)
its called SCRAPbooking for a reason right? arghhhhh

Challenge completed. *pat on the back

Have a great weekend awesome peeps.

xoxo

The overdue sneak reveal.

Remember this sneak? 

Well the reason why I've not revealed it is because our little Canon baby is at the repair shop, I love the quality so much that returning back to my Point n shoot was heart breaking....

Pretty insane right? sigh! So I thought, never mind, just take the damn picture. LOL....so here i am..

The sneak.

TADA. The completed card.
Sweet Gumball machine!! :) Quite a happy colored card.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another sneak on what I was up to on a public holiday, I worked for a while and decided to release some frustrations through crafting.

Learning to sprinkle paint....this is addictive, I love the outcome!!

Creating a self  'quote'....

Brand new ME!!

My most favorite part of this LO. This speaks of my heart. This speaks of my Believe. This speaks of how faithful my GOD is. This speaks of my Journey.

Have a beautiful week!! Live your day without wasting time.

xoxo

Saturday in Pictures {15/09/12}

Aha, it was a working saturday for me. Was trying to finish some work over the weekend. Here are some pictures captured. :)

Cloudy Saturday. Perfect to be in bed right, but am out working.

Salted Caramel with Earl Gray Jelly (My most favorite jelly!!!!)

Sweet Mr. accompanied me. Love you!!

My view for the afternoon. Serene & calm, the smell of Starbucks relaxes me. 

And when we were about to leave, we had free mini frap sampling. So so cute!!!

So that was our day....

---------------------------------------

At night, we had a farewell meet up with two talented young dancers, and yes we were in Starbucks again!! LOL, just different location.

We bid farewell

I'm sure we will all dance again someday. :)

Good memories.

Dancing connects people. *Loves*
