Scrapbook challenges sketch # 221

It has been quite a while that I didn't join in the challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges. But I love seeing this sketch:

And there are some paper from Humbly Print that I wanted to use which has been sitting there for a long time, it is this brick print paper, plus some mesh or what is it call for that bandage cover .. I've mist it and well, look at how it turns out:

I wanted to get messy too, so I've played with my acrylic paint, mist and my distressed ink. I've used the white acrylic paint behind my title simply because it doesn't stand out that much, so with a whiter background, the green do show better.

Oh, and I'm loving those pearl swirl, would love to have a bunch of them in hand, though it is a boy's page, but who sets the rules anyway, LOL.

So,  if you are like me, looking for sketch challenges, head on over to Scrapbook Challenges ning site and you'll find lots of great sketches there. Have fun!

Another birthday card

Today is 10th of October 2010, which is 10.10.10!!! It would take another hundred years for us to have this in the calender, hope today is an auspicious day for us all.

As I said in the earlier post, there are several of my friends who celebrated their birthdays in October. One who is even work together with me. So, this is for Fion on the 4th. October. Happy Belated Birthday Fion!

What I used? emm.. bits and pieces of paper and of course a doily from the baking shop, which is a very cheap embellishment that I can mist, squeeze into flowers and maybe fold up for something else. With only RM5, I can have hundreds of them!

That butterfly is a punch out butterfly using Martha Stewart's butterfly punch. Those two flowers are from Dear Lizzy line stamp that I've colored.

Have a blesses day!

Birthday card

It was a birthday for a friend, well more than one friends' birthday just past, and this card is given by her sister and ordered from me, yay! So happy that I've got some return on what I've done. I wanted to re-create this card, but too bad, I've run out of the same patter paper came in from Studio Calico kit. Due to wallet thinness, I've stop ordering from Studio Calico.

So, happy be-lated birthday Francessca! (I hope I've spelled your name right) And I hope you don't mind me showing your card here.

Happy Friday night!

Two challenges

This is for Scrap-it-lah what's in my bag challenge using Sassy Lil' Sketch for September:

Lovely paperline huh? They are all from Echo Park Sweet Summer Time PP in Scrapbook Daisies kit. I hand-sew those "bling" with some beats from my stash to make the flower centre.

So, what's in my bag?

Wallet of course, then there are my hand-phone, car key, lipstick in the case, lip-gloss, hand lotion in sakura (love the smell), two pens! and of course the camera that I was using to snap these photos.

Two girls must have thought that I was crazy 'cos I was snapping my handbag in a studio's chair where they use to snap passport photos! Ha!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Oh ya.. Head on over to Scrapbook Daisies now for they are having a celebration for the opening of the Scrapbook Daisies store.

And ya.. I'm so proud that I was using my Slice to cut those swirls, but bad news is that one of the design card which came together in the Slice package is no longer working, and it is one with Ms+, which has image, flip function! Bu hoo hoo....

I felt like...

I felt like I have lost something that I didn't scrap as often as I could recently, probably just too tire to do so.

I saw lots of great pages over the Net, I wanted to scrap-lift them, I wanted to make it my own and record down stories of the day to day life. I wanted to use all those distressing technique, those mist, those chipboard, those fuzzy cutting and just have fun.

When I do scrap, I felt that I will pay more attention on things around me, on what my kids said, how they behave and how I respond, so that I can jot them down and put them all in my scrapbook page.

I wanted to do a mini-album about me and hubby, or simply a mini-album about things around the house, I definitely going to do this challenge.

I wanted to make more cards, cards just to say hello and I need to post out those cards that I've made.

So many things to do on a Friday morning. Maybe I'll start tonight.
