Harry potter!

Okay my mojo is working at full force so last night I completed a Harry potter layout which I use a whole lot of different mediums.
The whole lot of mediums I used:
  • red, transparent, black glimmer glam. 
  • Sliver and gold pigment inks. 
  • black enamel accent
  • distress embossing powders
  • black stamping ink


 A little crazy but it was totally worth it! I actually didn't mess up anything at all and I only use 1 paint brush! (which i just keep washing it)

Totally enjoyed the harry potter trip! We wee actually quite worried if it would be crowded. But it wasn't. :)

And also I cut out all of the designs from the paper bag that they gave us! (see the below picture) Wooohooo! scrappers saving trick!

Meanwhile, I have prepared my two classes for the month of July! (sneak peek soon)
and there is definitely more coming up! so stay tuned!

goobye


Here are the cards I made last year or this year which I kinda forgot or lazy to post, some cards i left out to take photos like wai leong's card which i was very happy when it was completed because it took quite a huge amount of time but went out well. the above card was for Lynnette and the guitar was cut out by my digital cutter.







Also hannah's and lynnette's christmas card which I got them godiva chocolates.But I forgot to take photo of their cards. (where's my christmas presents? just kidding.)

I know christmas is a long way but not only i forgot to post this but i also forgot to give this card to the person! guess who?
A card I made for my dear friends which I made before I went overseas which he is supposed to send me off so i could pass it to him. But in the end, I still managed to send him via air mail. But when it is reached him, he is coming back in a month time! The red die-cut is actually a map of Switzerland done by my digital cutter again! And i decided to save paper and printed a photo to use a frame inside. actually i did not notice it until my other friend pointed out the spelling mistake... as my scrapbook friends always says, never spell late at night!! it will always go wrong!! Done with card making.
Now, to start with scrapbooking....

who is out there?

I know its been many many many months since i last blogged! so i decided to change the look of my blog, but i can't seem to solve the problem of the pop-up from my blog. can anyone help? Its has also been many months since i done any cards or scrapbook. So 2 months back, but i did manage to do quite a few completed works before I left my national services and made some cards. it took me like quite long because I used computer to make these cards so please don't judge if its not nice! (i was at work at it since 10- 4.30a.m in the morning!!!)




the cards below are for my hardworking colleagues which had photos at the back so its more like a post card and i made use of a leftover cut and painted to get that shape. and i did a 'thank you' stamp with quite a lot of writing which made my hand really painful from all that writing!
the last card here took the longest for my boss, which i had to do quite a lot of painting (which you can't see) I painted the pattern paper with diluted blue acrylic paint because it is just too bright and due to my tiredness and lack of time i decided to just ink the bottom pattern paper instead of painting it (which i bet look better if i did it with painting) the die-cut of the artillery gun also had like 3 coats of paint because i can't decided the right tone for the card. i finished it with a nice rub-on for the words.
Then for rest of the people which I didn't had the time to make cards to express my gratitude for all the help they had to make my life easier and more meaningful, i decided to hold a little steamboat celebration! 
Thanks for memories! i am ready to start a new chapter in my life so watch out for more update! (i promise will blog at least once each week!)

presents.

one of those stuffs that i forgot to tell you guys about. the spirit of giving last year. while being sick, i managed to select a few good photos and pack them accordingly into albums for my god-mum and my aunt, also a few made for the families of my neices and nephews. I had to the family events at 2009 is sure great and i bet no one wants to forget that. Before i joined the army, i appiled back to my job in MWL and realise that it was a great choice. I enjoyed every single moment of it. even when i was totally stressed out, i knew many people appreciated the help and tips i've given them and i in turn, made a LOT of friends that share the same interest as I do.

Cards and such.....


i made a few cards for my good friends while suffering as a trainee. I took the opportunity to make for them but i forgot 1 person that should thank too! so sorry my friend! give me time, okay? let see, i give you after i ORD?
right now, things are REALLY sucky. back from M.C, and there is many many things to teach and learn, i am pretending i know what i'm teaching but i am kinda unsure! seriously pissed off with people that wants to rage a war with me at the start of 2010.


things like these wouldn't happen. It should be ONWARDS! and so, i am putting in my bestest (there's no such word, only exist in army) effort to teach my men and put in more time to learn from the gun. ha, i am taking note with them and i think they seriously enjoy me being there learning with them. I think it makes them feel like inferior. That's a good thing, hopefully i be less of an ass to keep punishing and talking like a old uncle. I pass the word limit to talk for today by a LOT. more post to come. if i'm free.

Uncertainty

Next week is going to be a tough one for me- going to a new unit, experiencing a different feel of the way things would work there, or whether it will be the same as the last time where things are so inflexible, some people are just mean and give you an extra without putting their mind into it. Or you'll see more screwed up things there,with people giving you wrong information and cause you or others into huge trouble and that he doesn't realise it. Loads of sighs now and then as the thought of it just cross over my mind and with so many good people not with me around, it just makes things harder to work out. The book WS lent me was a great read as i suffered througout the course, i could connect to it, seeing how it was hard to be left alone bare in this world. I seriously don't know why i was posted there and the reasons given to me are totally illogical and myopic, just like the last 13 weeks. More to come.
The second thing i'm worried about is the surgery that is happening next week, those tonsils and nose block has been making me sick all the time and almost caused a fever that could send me straight to the hospital. These got to stop, so surgery is the only option. which i have not been prepared yet, as i have no time to think about it and concentrated on the course. i wouldn't how bad it will feel and i probably may need to stay in the hospital after surgery depend on the doctor's orders. sigh.... scarey operation + alone hospital stay. on a side note, i have a e-mail to send which cause me more distress as i feel that problems are going to pile on and people starts thinking that its all my fault. How am i gonna block out or let in? Next week is real hard.
(p.s: 2 cards i made for my dear friends who made the course so much better when there are some jerks around. especially thanks to kk for suffering with me and had endless worries that almost had me a heart attack. more cards and work to be done.)

where was I?

sorry to keep you guys waiting so long! i was seriously lazy and was totally irritable in these 12 weeks so i had no motivation and time. (note:i have no time again... thanks to the &*^%^ FH course) but after so long i have decided to blog, seeing that you guys have been looking at that stupid 70-300mm camera lens for so long... so i added more lenses for you guys to see! (not that you're bored already) I made this card not to long ago for our sergeant secret as agreed by my detachment members who think that he deserves some recognition for his role as in instructor. Hope he doesn't tell the rest and rub it in their face... opps!
I brought a prime lens and a BETTER zoom lens which i THINK i am statisfied.... the new camera flash excites me like crazy! however, one MAJOR drawback to this flash is that it makes noises! I seriously need to try them out more often...
This with my camera added-on features, i think i'm gonna have soooooo much trouble carrying it! I am just super happy now that my nightmare is over but i'm really afraid the worst is yet to come in my new posting serving the nation. sigh... till then, SMILE, say cheese!

Expired. (things i wanted to tell for a long time)

There are like tons and tons of memories and things i want to write about but as you can see how busy i am once i get home from national service- here's just the gist of it:



1. ZOOM lenses and camera accessories

The lack of money and time obviously only allow me to dream and dream of it only and one dream is to just take tons of photos and capture memories. But more photos = more problem of organising + storing + lack of disk space + increase urgency of scrapbooking. So the camera is put on hold for this moment, so there's no 'zhnging*' of my camera! This camera lens was borrowed from my dad's friend for my passing out parade and was returned promptly to stop me from going gaga over it and getting one in the end. Meanwhile, I'll just dream and look through amazing photos. Here's one from my company mate in the army who does an amazing job at his hobby: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shutternumber2



2. Cycle expeditions

we cycled like mad trying to race at the speed of light in order to curve space-time so as to reach the bicycle shop before our rental time. Somehow or rather, we were a few minutes late that means to say we needed to pay a over-night in which i believed would have been pocketed by those bike rental personnels which almost got me in a fury, fortunately, we so called convinced them to charge us the original extra hour charge. We need to have more of these cycling expeditions as a group!


3. 29 Injections




Crazy me actually agreed to the nurse to do the food allergy not knowing that I had to test for so much food (she said it was average 18 injections only but i got more of it!) The 3 hours procedure was quite a nightmare and got me really groggy after that. I would never want to go through that again. ever. basically, I had to done the food test to determine the food that cause me to fall sick soooo many times in my army term. (specifically, I had to be injected with milk, corn, wheat, malt, soy, egg, baker's yeast, garlic, rice, pepper, apple, watermelon, check, pork, tomato, potato, onion, oyster, mushroom, clove, cumin, Cinnamon, coffee, tea, cocoa and 3 control chemicals) I had food hypersensitivity to (try saying it in 1 breath) malt, egg, baker's yeast, watermelon, pork, potato, oyster, coffee, tea, cocoa. So as S says, I have to live with rice and plain porridge and water for the rest of my life? (OK, 6 months of that-the nurse says. but that would mean ending my life..lol) Avoiding these foods is HARD, so bloody hard. you could say i did these injections for nothing. :)


3. Good Day! (with fist high up, elbows locked)
these people are really funny, enjoyed thick and thin (mostly thin?) with them. Gonna miss those who are posted to other unit! Good Luck!



5. Happy 19th birthday
Thanks for all the birthday wishes that you guys have given been more than a month ago. All presents are appreciated, including this one which i pasted in my army cupboard locker. It just reminds me of needing to get creative which i so need to work on, random doodling might just work....
