Lovely scrapbook.

Help out my lovely cousin to do a scrapbook layout for her idol! 

The cool factor is that she REALLY gave it to Jacky Cheung. Personally. How honoured I am to help her out. Isn't it nice!

SMASH it!

Sorry for the long wait for a new blog post.

Riding on the trend on smash books. Love the idea.

I recently did my smash book which i forgot to post on my blog! Here it is!!! I use quite a lot of funny knick knacks and stuffs to cover the front! Added UTEE in front too! Love it a lot!

Here are some of the pages I did. Tons of doodling and writing. (which i hardly ever like to write on any of my scrapbook pages) and also did quite a few pictures. i printed like 100 over collages pictures (so it should have like 300 individual pictures if I cut them up! Loads and loads to do and there just not enough time!

Really glad to be able to keep doing more and more pages and keep doodling! Busy time ahead I feel. Till next time. :D

always be true to yourself

A layout I created which is also at papermarket blog! Happy the way it had turned out! super nice! I really liked the paper designed by Rhonna Farrer. Hope i got the name right. she is an amazing graphic designer! And if you have noticed, I used my new (but vintage) typewriter! Super nice! Just love how the words look with the layout!

I will be away from Singapore to Laos from 6th May - 20th May onwards! Do contact me via email or Facebook! (but i won't reply you until I'm back!) P.S: I will still be blogging in the next 2 weeks so do come back and check it out! :D Pin It

Melissa Frances!

Really excited to be helping out for tomorrow's event! While teaching classes, everyone who is attending for the first time is asking me how it's gonna be like. I always enjoyed these events and attended quite a few (okay probably only about 5) but it is always enjoyable to meet new faces and sharing tips, stories and laughing about our scrapping journey! And its always a bonus to meet a famous person who is coming to our little island in south east asia!

So even if now is exam time, which everyone is still stressing over, I manage to whip up a layout in time for the posts in papermarket blog. I always want to scrap this picture but it is just so hard to find the right kind of papers and embellishment, but the new arrivals of kaisercraft papers (which is coming soon) fits it nicely. I also want to thank lovely shirley for the flowers and rosalind for the buttons, I had a good time incorporating them in the layouts! Okay back to studies. can't wait for the end of tuesday for the last exam!

 
 Over and out. :D Pin It

been busy!

Merdrey said i did not do justice to my two layouts because I didn't took a good photo for the layout! Here's the two layouts (a proper photo now!) really enjoyed using these papers!

If not, you can just go to Papermarket at raffles city to look at the original one! ;) Pin It

2nd post this year!

Woohooo! I have "time" to blog my second post! this is actually a sample I made for a class for work. This kit is actually has stickers and punch-out for the layout. making scrapbooking faster and less stressful! Gotta look out for more of such kits! :) Pin It

Daily inspiration.

 My blog is gathering cobwebs. A little time for some blogging to take place is hard. But right now, being the Design Team for Papermarket/Laines I get the opportunity to do a little more blogging on the papermarket blog as well as my own blog. Here is actually the close up for the two layouts I made for the arrival of the new Authenique papers that arrive just in time with my blog post! The happy times one is actually a photo which was printed for me by my friends which we had a wonderful birthday celebration. The best part is the papers matches perfectly with the colours of the paper! Another one was done for my cousins for the lovely posed/candid shots for them in the park. I miss the times we had fun just going to the park and enjoy running around.

These layout just make me excited about the next time we are gonna see each other soon. Working and studying is a little trolling but time past really fast and is kinda fun. I'll be trying to post a little more and give you a little sneak peek of my classes next month!
You can check out the 2 layouts here.!

P.S: i forgot its displayed at Papermarket at rafflescity too :) Pin It

stairs.

Ever since I've restarted this blog, I have been busy. I don't what and I don't know why. April just went off so quickly and its already May right now. I'm starting to scrap now and be more active in the scrapbook world, restarting to enjoy the love for scrapbooking. There's just so much things going through my mind right now to scrap and create. there's actually quite a lot of things I want to write but I'm just going to hold on first.
Here's a layout I worked for 1.5months ago which I took just a few hours to make and i absolutely loved it. I hardly do anything to create more layers and dimension. and i started using washi tapes. In case you haven't heard of it, you can see it here and here. These are the links given by my friend who owns like 20 or 30 of it. ( i think the numbers might be and understatement.) It is totally useful because you can use it on ANYTHING and for EVERYTHING. and it doesn't have to empty your piggy bank just to get one. However, the one I use for this layout does cost more because of the brand. You could see the bottom left of the page which i use red glimmer mist to make the tape a reddish colour. To tell you the truth, I only bought 2 rolls because I'm controlling before i get really crazy about the tapes!

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.

What was happening...

After NOT BLOGGIN for months, here's some photos to jot my memory of what i did or see for the past weeks:
blood donation
The college had another one of its blood donation, but sadly, this time had very very few people as we J2s are having prelims soon. But i'm gald that i went college to study and donated blood too! Oh yes, thanks hannah for being there too!
National DAY BBQ
This phenomenon occured on the beach near our family BBQ pit, it came out as a waterspout which is featured in many local articles about it. The newspapers say that it occur once a while near the singapore shores and is of no threat as it would dissapear when nearing to land. However, this time, it became a realtively weak dustdevil.
And we were shocked that the waterspout change to a"sand storm" instead. Although, it WAS short lived when it reach the shores, but it already travelled about 12 metres from the sea line and look at the amount of damage it has caused. tents were destroyed and people were running away from the danger zone at that time. Stuffs were flying all over. The worst part was that it blew up sand which really hurt and cause sand all over us espeically our hair. Luckily, no one was hurt.
The BBQ resumed again but with more excitement as it was a "chance" of a lifetime to experience a "safe nature disaster" and see how nature fights back sometimes. (a reminder to SAVE OUR EARTH.) When we all started back to our BBQ, the rain came, and we had to stop for a while and quickly put shelter over the pit and protect our food. (my dad is really cool at setting up such stuffs.) When the rain stopped, he came back with a blow torch. And wow, the BBQ was started up really quickly! COOL!
loads to see, the helicopters pass the beach too.
Then, in the evening, there was a raindow caused by the rain in the afternoon and also the setting sun. It was beautiful.
Teachers' Day
I spent like 5-6 hours making teachers' day cards. And I as say, its hard to get back on track when you have lose your handcrafting skill for so many months. But still I managed to get it done!
College celebration was interesting at some particular parts but the sad and irritating part was that there wasn't more of it. And the place wasn't big enough to house all of us.
Sadly, i was disppointed at the general group of people who was laughing at some particular perfomances as some sang off-key (you will miss it if you did not listen attentively) or went a little off-beat.

Meanwhile
making more of the cards to pass on to some of my secondary school teachers which i did not manage to finish and they kinda expecting it.
Also, i think i'm buying a DSLR, but i'm still considering... Canon EOS 450-D really appeals to me. Sigh... to buy or not to buy? Pin It

nightmares are over or is it?

Mid-year's are really over now. And i thought i could rest are many weeks of studying. but i was so wrong. I have swimming compeition in 3 days time and i have not been swimming regularly. This would be such a tough time for me. meanwhile, i have to start packing up and pick up where i left off in scrapbooking. Not been at it for months. I think totally lost scrapbooking.
And yes, plan for my 18th birthday! gotta make things better for me.... like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

3 More.

Adding to 3 more layouts into the family album! slotting in the photos just takes less than a few minutes, so very easy and time, cost-saving!!! Just add a few rub-ons or sticker and the job is done. It makes me hate to see thick stacks of photos in my transparent photo box and see them into my albums! But, there is no time for such things, with such a tiring lifestyle that makes me really frustrated sometimes. I just have to stop and look. There's just nothing interesting on what's ahead of me and how unbearable it feels to be going though this. I want to stop, but i just can't. One of my cousins hate to see that picture in my first layout. Guess which? LOL.
This layout below is one the most time-consuming piece I have ever done, and it feels a little heavier than the rest of the others too. Today hours off my labour day off doing it and it feels totally great! So good, that in the proccess of thing on how to add on, postion the stuffs, I totally forgot about my phone that is ringing... and realised the missed calls and unread messages by amelene. Gosh...i'm so sorry! Just don't feel like working on labour day..lol. Haiz. my lower back is acting up again. I think i need to get an X-ray! what's wrong with me?!?!?

family album

SIGH... a tough time right now, looking at results. after studying ever so hard for econs, i still failed and the marks is sooooooo close to passing. the inaquate time to study physics to make more time for econs also reap not-as-good-as-expected results. despite passing, GP isn't that comforting either. so frustrating.

a quick posting before i get to my work: this was probably done months ago, putting them up to remind me that i have to print more photos for this album. you can see the previous pages here.





my favourite page of the whole album... which quite linked to the cover photo of the album. here's the journal:

“Other things
may change us,
But we start and end
with family.”
anthony brandt

Relationships create the fabric of our lives. Thus, keeping all memories about relationships starts with family. Meeting at every opportunity possible deepens the bond between us. We know things about each other: what we food we love, things we do or stuffs we hate. And it is all recorded here. It’s a fact that this album is not finished and will never be. (Unless there is a run out on page protectors or the album simply can’t hold anymore pages.) Many cherished moments and fun times are kept in this large brown album. Enjoy.
