We Love Summer

I just love long weekends. Today is a special holiday here due to the Chinese New Year. So I took the opportunity to run (a lot of) errands and after that, I have the rest of this three-day weekend to enjoy scrapping!

Here's a page based on Stuck?! Sketches' January 15th challenge:


I'm also on a Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker product roll this weekend, as I was able to create 2 LOs and 2 cards using her Summer collection. Woohoo! I looove NSS products!

I spent the whole afternoon cutting these cute images in creating my layouts and cards.




That's it for today. Tune in next for my other creations using NSS' Summer line.

Kung Hei Fat Choi! :D

One Fine Day

Here's a layout that I created based on Stuck?! Sketches' September 1st challenge. I love the outcome so much! Mr. Creative Mojo stayed with me the whole time I was making this page of my hubby and son. :D

The sketch challenge below:


Featuring some close-up shots.

Scrap That! November Kit: Dorothy (Part 1)

My very first creation from Scrap That's kits! I've been a silent admirer of their kits and the DTs' works for quite some time and it's only recently that I decided to become a subscriber. So glad I did! :)

I am entering this at Stuck?! Sketches' January 1st challenge, sketch provided below:


Some highlights:
The small, yellow flowers are part of the kit. But as for the bigger and darker orange-colored ones, I created these out of coffee filters, scalloped puncher and Tim Holtz/Ranger distress inks (combined fired brick and mustard seed). For instructions on how to create these, check out this article, Easy Punchy Flowers at Ideas for Scrapbookers.



Look at the magic created by combining Tattered Angels' glimmer mist with Pink Paislee's Parisian Anthology ink-resist papers. The name, Beautiful Butterfly, is really an appropriate label for this patterned paper. :D


Have a Blessed Sunday. :D

Our Love

Here is my second output from Coordinates Collections' November "Just Desserts" kit. I was able to create a total of three LOs and I couldn't be any happier! Hahaha. Don't you just love it when you get to maximize a kit's contents? :D

The photo was one of our pre-nup photo shoots, taken a month before our wedding in 2005. How time flies. Now we have a two-and-a-half year old boy. :)

I am submitting this in the December 1st sketch challenge at Stuck?! Sketches, below:


Close-up shots and details:
I love the result of this misted backgound ink-resist paper from Pink Paislee's Parisian Anthology collection. I used Glimmer Mists in red currant and sapphire, to match my and hubby's pink and blue shirts, respectively.


A close-up shot of my sentimental journaling, which used the following keywords: LO title (Our Love), cardstock label (Sweet), Karen Foster metal tag (Journey).

"Our love already faced several ups and downs. But we vowed to make every experience a part of our sweet journey... Together."


I sooo love this Prima flutter vine in pacific blue!


Another thing I love is the overall dimensional effect that this red ribbon created on my LO.


Can you see the round gemstone peeking under the red ribbon? Here's a closer look. So nice, huh!



TFL and Happy New Year to all!!!

Materials used: November "Just Desserts" kit from Coordinates Collections, Prima flutter vine, Glimmer mists, Karen Foster metal tag, DCVW black cardstock, local ribbon and paper doily.
