Salvaging Photos

I made 2 A4 size layouts because the 2 photos were the same theme but took at different times. Both photos were taken on my council initiation, 1 i was a participant and another i was a leader. Both photos were initially framed in IKEA glass photo frames when given to me. And as i displayed it over a year plus, i found that one of the photo had stucked to the glass. Carefully, i decided to peel it out and even though some faces couldn't be saved, but i am glad i found out early and manage to salvage the rest.


The red badge represented "Marketing & Promotions" Department, which i am so proud off!


This is the second photo.. Both times the event happened at East Coast Park. So i got to use all my "beachy" theme papers.


Loving my JB Tab punch!

We Were Smelly

Happy Friday everyone! Yesterday was National Day and i made full use of my day by heading to IKEA to get my new crafting table and shelves plus heading back home to watch TV with boyfriend. The National Day Parade was so touching to look at and the fireworks were spectacular!
After weeks of card making, it was time to jump back to Scrapbooking a Layout since i had the photos ready printed already. So as the days of convocation are drawing nearer, i am starting to be afraid that i will miss my friends badly.. Hence i made this LO. These are my project mates who have been with me since Day 1 of school. They were the ones who introduced me to the Korean Buffet which is so nice and cheap! The only down side of it is that I will become SUPER smelly after walking out! LOL! Imagine your hair still smelling like korean bbq meat even after shampoo-ing twice and your bags and clothes smell like that too!






Journaling is hid behind the "Happy" Bingo card because i wanted to try making a pocket and using the clothes peg to pull the journal card out. Hmm.. it turn out to work well! Just that i spent alot of time deciding which layer to go down first and making sure that it will not be too slanted..

Sending this Layout for 2 challenges: Krafers Blog Challenge and Scrap With V August Sketch Challenge

Alan's 26th Birthday

It's Friday already and i finally got a chance to post this album cover that i did for my good friend, Alan. He held his 26th birthday at MBS and the theme was red carpet, which is also the translation on the scramble letters. This album was bought from Prints and there are polariods, pictures and messages left on the day of the party by all his guest.

I had fun making this cover because we went shopping together and MWL was having a 50% off which made me buy even more stuff but at least he got to choose things that he liked at a cheaper rate. hehe.. what an excuse. =p


Studio Calico Camera Wood Veneer blinged with silver glitter that were kinda dropping because i put too much. =/ One of the most time consuming thing was to glue the rhinestones down onto the sides of the page because his invatation had this broadway lights effect.


KaiserCraft Cupcake with velvet red ribbon and M3H flat back pearls.


The red velvet ribbon is to portray the red carpet feel and i love the studio calico human veneers! Really tempted to get the pack of it now.


Hot glued this 2 buttons along with a stretchable ribbon to create a closure so that the album will not flip open. I must say, this creation is my most statisfied one!


And the stretchable ribbon closes to the back of the camera pin cap.

Hope you have a great weekend ahead!

High Distinction

This LO is one of the plainest LO i've ever done. No flowers, no glitters, no stamping. However, i did my usual DIY style of embellishments. Layered dollies at the bottom because this pic was taken during flora's birthday and we bought cupcakes for her. The cupcakes were so nice! I still cant forget the taste, but i've forgotten the shop name. hehe..


I choose the title "High Distinction" because prior to submitting every project, we will say "This is sure a High Distinction!". Which always ends up a Distinction and once a High Distinction. haha! Alphas by AC Thickers. Initially painted the "H" and "D" so to silver so it could stand out but it turn out the opposite way so i end up painting mod podge on it and sprinkling silver glitters. Saving my mistake! Punched tiny circles of alcohol inked papers to form a diagonal line of visual to the picture.



Made this stick pin using lace trim, feathers and butterfly punch from MS.


I've got to thank my awesome group mates in my uni days because it was the project group with so much fun even when we had so much last minute work to do! I remember we once completed a project within 1 week! 5000 word report~~ haha.. that was awesome!


Journaling for the LO.

Using this LO to play along in Frosted Designs and Bird is the Word.

First Wedding Invitation

For the first time im doing a 8.5" by 11" layout. Inititally wanted a smaller paper because the photos are card size. But i figured that i have 3 of them and i wanted to create a 2 page layout after watching some samples from Shimelle. The color is the theme color of her wedding. Vintage, tiffany blue and type writter style.


The red press mark was taken from Fiona's wedding invitation card. Can't help but had to stuff some feathers in by the side. hehe.


Bird chipboard from Joan, which i believe are from Maya Road. The ribbon is taken from her wedding invitation card too. haha.. RE-USE.


Listed the things i enjoyed that night.


The pretty bride and handsome groom.


Love the simple stories collection with the vintage papers. Totally fit into the theme for the LO.


The photo mats and the vintage lady in camera were from the postcards given out during her wedding reception. They were all so pretty and i had to hoard a few for myself.

Sketch Along Tuesday #31

My take on Sketch Along Tuesday Sketch #31 hosted by Frosted design. Love the Bo Bunny "Island mist" paper because the blue is so calm and cooling.


This is the sketch provided.


Hello Kitty Polariods taken with Yingxuan and Jiaxin when we randomly decided to meet up for dinner. It is the first time that just 3 of us meet for dinner  even though we have known each other for so long.


Titled "So Cute!" because i told them i didn't like Hello Kitty but whenever the polariod came out and i screamed "So Cute!" it meant that every other doodle on the polariod was cute EXCEPT hello kitty. haha.. So they claim i am bias towards hello kitty. LOL. "So Cute" alphas are by AC Thickers and the others are by Prima's Tiny Alphas.


Instead of our usual favourite restaurant "Sushi Tei", I suggested to go for 2Day1Night Soju Bang korean BBQ buffet. Still love the place even though they had raised the price slightly. There are more spaces now too. The paper used is Basic Grey "Kioshi" paper pad and i bought a dater stamper so i could easily stamp the dates of the outings when i scrap.


I went into my LSS the last time and saw a bag of transparent buttons by "bag-O-buttons" and i immediately grabbed it because i like the idea that i can ink it to whatever color i want. So this time round, i inked it with Ranger's "Sail Boat Blue" and "Pearl" alcohol inks. Then threaded it to complete the look.


Inspired by a youtube user "LuvLeeScrappin", i made my own flower or should i say bead spray. She made a video on the technique and her projects are freaking fabulous. You can also check out her blog. Flowers are by Prima.


I also punched out a MS Monarch Butterfly and added a few beads in the middle to make the butterfly more "alive". Haha... the antennas are abit messy because i can't get a hang of it twisting it in rounds/swirls/spiral, whatever u call it~~ Will keep trying!

For this LO, i also used Washi Tapes which i really seldom use them because i am always too lazy to take them out. I also bought 2 AC Border Punch to try when they were released at my LSS. I've got to say, it is really more convenient than other punches. If you don't know what i mean, i'll share in my next entry! ;)
