A very Interesting Candle/Flower Holder

Have not been blogging for some time. AGAIN! Well, been super busy at work and now's the time for exams and so on and so forth...
Here's a new project that I came up with some time ago. I used alot of Tattered Angels products for this. Using the Glam, take a brush and paint it all around a sheet of transparency. (the ones that you can get at any stationery shop) It will dry quite fast. I was surprised that it actually could dry and not peel off too. So with that pretty sheet of painted transparency sitting around, I thought for a long time before I hit upon the idea of making a candle or flower holder. Then I selected some flowers, from Prima and Daiso (hee hee!!) and used the Glimmer Glaze and painted the white ones. See the shimmer in the last picture? I love love love that effect!!
I also sprayed Glimmer Mist over the doillie to make it less stark white. End result! Hope you like it!
Do come on down to Laines Papeterie if you wish to know more of how to make this very pretty candle/flower stand!

Hey! I've got inspiration!

Together Moments

So Happy Together

Finally! I've done something! Enjoy!

Hi September mojo!

Frenz!

I made this for my neighbour cos her daughter is very fixated with my son and always comes over to play! Hee hee! She's 6yrs old and my son's 8 yrs old. But they seem to enjoy each other's company and my son doesn't mind playing with a younger girl. That's what so good about him. He plays with anyone and everyone and has no prejudice against anyone.

Water Play & Snow Fun

I got this hanging holder from Daiso (where else??!!) and was wondering what to do with it when I realized that the 8x8 papers I had fitted in nicely! So this was very quickly conceived and just as quickly churned out! All in one night!

Happiness Is: ...

I did quite a lot of sewing on this LO but because the colours I used were very pastel like the paper, it wasn't very outstanding. But I still had fun sewing it!

U're so TweetThis altered art was inspired by a visit to scrapping pal, Jaz's house. I saw the bird cage and how she used it and was totally hooked! I love the little cage and was thrilled to find it at the new Daiso at Rivervale Mall. This Daiso is sooooo near my place that I'm afraid that I'll go there and stock up every week!

A photo laden post

I started making this mini album at G's hse 2 weeks ago. Together with Ed, G and myself, I managed to complete 3 pages! When I got back, I was so enthusiastic about this project that I actually completed it in one week! That must have been something like a speed miracle for me! Heh heh heh!
Anyways, I seem to have inspiration at other people's house! G's place, Jaz's place.... Everywhere except my own place!! Hahaha! What a laugh!
Every scrapping session at G's house is always food, laughter, drinks, more food, louder laughs, bigger cups of drinks! And of cos the scrapping too! G's so happy to share that sometimes I'm afraid that I'll take advantage of her generosity.
It's often easier to scrap with friends and make merry with gossips, idle chats and makan. I love to pop by Jaz's place with a bagful of scrap stuff. And very often, my very generous friend would slip papers, bellies, flowers into my scrap bag. Where to find a friend like that?
Thank you all, dear friends! I'm glad that scrapbooking has let me find my passion and my passionate friends!

The Many Faces of You

I thought that putting this pensive look at the last page ended the whole album quite neatly!

Memories of Home

This box was done up quite some time back but I never had time to take pics and upload. Since today appears to be a free day for me (kids taken care of by mummy. Thankx Mum!) I thought I'd take some time to look through what stuff I can upload into my very pathetic blog! Hee hee hee!

Altered Art

I realised that recently I've been doing alot of layouts and not much of my favourite altered art. I did this lunch box tin some time back but never had the time to take photo and post. There's a little empty space on the right and that's for me to decide which travel booklet I wanna make and put inside this "Travel" box.


Here's another altered art done at Laines. I followed some of it but later decided that I'd much rather redo it in my own style. So here's the zig zag book (7Gypsies) on the story of my scrapbooking journey.
These are some fun tins that I like to alter as and when I feel like it. I've got a couple dozens of these tins and I like to put small little bellies in them and then alter them. Fast and fun!

Mini Album

I actually have quite a number of LOs to upload. But I'm not using my own computer at this moment and I have absolutely no idea how to crop the pics and to make the file size smaller so as to upload faster. However, I do have a mini album to share....

My Ikea Bin

Check out what I have done with the bin from Ikea. When I saw it on sale at SGD$5.90, I could not resist. I even called up 2 scrapping mates and cajoled them into buying the same bin but different colours! Hahaha!
This side was completed 1st and was fairly fast. The 2nd side (below) took longer cos no inspiration was flowing then.



I've still got 2 more sides to complete and I'm not sure if I want to complete it or not. A fren of mine asked whose photo was gonna be on the sides with holes. Hahahaha! Still deciding whose photo is going onto the "holey" part!

A birthday gift for my sis-in-law

Did this for my sis-in-law for her birthday. I happened to see a fairly inexpensive clock and decided to make a family thing for her.
We've always been quite civil to each other in all the 17 years we've known each other. It was only recently when my mother in law was diagnosed with kidney failure that we've gotten even closer to each other. Our families get together quite often so that her son and mine can keep each other company.
Recently, since my daughter was born, she's even more keen to get together. She really really loves this niece of hers. Whenever we reach her place, she'll immediately ask for Brianna and carry her straight away. She'll then proceed to play with her, carry her, talk to her.
I'm beginning to appreciate this sis-in-law. Especially since a friend of mine fell out with her in-laws. Apparently, she wrote all her grouses on her blog and her sis-in-law read it. And the most ridiculous thing happened. The sis-in-law proceeded to sue her for her grouses!! Unbelivable!!
Sigh.... Why do people have to do this to one another? It's already bad enough that strangers are suing each other upside down and inside out. Why do families have to do this to each other? There's a chinese saying that it takes a thousand lifetimes for us to become families. Isn't it better to try and get along rather than fight over little, little gritty things?

Altered Ikea Frame

Here's my altered frame. There's actually no need to pay for expensive shadow boxes. Ikea has them in various sizes, though not in the 12x12 size. But smaller makes it easier to scrap, ain't it rite??!! This is about 10x10 in.
