This is another layout that I created during my stay at my in law's place. 

Same as the layout in previous post, it was inspired by Jot Magazine's March Mood Board and Elle's Studio Sketch Thursday 03.05.2015. 

This time I sprinkled the paint instead of spraying. I hand-stitched the grids.

Layout: Hello Mr Punk

At the very last minute, we changed our plan to go back to my Hubby Jay's hometown earlier. Without much time, I packed my craft bag in a rush. Because of that, I left out my photo to scrap at home! :( 

Here's what I created during my stay at my in law's place (of course I added the photo after I reached home):

How I get inspired? 

First, the color combo. They are from Jot Magazine's March Mood Board. I got to know about Jot Magazine through Instagram and I browsed through their website. There and then, I came across their March Mood Board... chosen by Jot Girl, Anna Allan. 

Aw... I straight away fall in love with it. Such an inspiring and gorgeous piece! Isn't it?

The color of the mood board reminds me the paper collection of Elle's Studio - Cameron. This was the first thing that I packed into my craft bag.

For the sketch, I was inspired by Elle's Studio Sketch Thursday 03.05.2015.

Layout: YUM Let's Eat!

What is so yummy? 

Raw broccoli!!

Huh?! Yes, my Little Hang just can't wait for us to cook the broccoli! He grabbed and munched. Really #tamchiak ! So, I made an layout about that. 

This layout was actually based on Elle's Studio Thursday Sketch 02.19.2015. The sketch was so inspired and beautiful!

I used Elle's Studio products except for the washi tapes and twines. And it was quite fun to try out diagonal shapes in the layout, as well as hand-stitched even though it was just a straight line.

Layout: Indulge

It has been quite some time I did not create any layout. I can't resist to create one when I saw Mei Li Paperie's beautiful color palette from December Color Challenge, although December is the super busy and crazy month for me. 

Here's my take:

I used Maggie Holmes Styleboard vellum shapes and Shimelle die cut cardstock shapes for this layout.

Happy Crafting!

Layout: Always Together

It's time for Mei Li Paperie's October Color Challenge. Let's have a look at the color palette.

This color challenge immediately got me thinking of Pink Paislee's ephemera and stickers, especially Solstice. 

Here's my take:

I used mostly Pink Paislee's ephemera and stickers from Solstice, Pen Pals and Switchboard. I used a 'lovely' sticker from Shimelle. 

I love the tag 'Life is a JOURNEY enjoy it!' Then, I purposely matched the wordings together: My world ... You & Me, everyday 24/7 forever& always together!

Happy Crafting!

Layout: Mom, I Am Right Here!

Mei Li Paperie's September inspired by..... Challenge is fun! The inspiration piece is a cute and colorful image. It is selected by Kim Jefress. 

Here's my take:

I used the color palette and the design of the image. When I first saw this image, I thought of London, travelling, enjoyable moment and FOOD! I planned to create a layout about food but then I realized I did not have any photo about food on hand. Then, I changed my mind and go for this - fun time with my Little Ze. We were having fun and enjoyed the moment playing hide and seek and pretending riding the elevator up and down in a building.

So excited to come across Pinkfresh Studio’s 1st ever challenge through their blog. They are co-hosting with their friends at Scrapbook Circle. Oh, I love the sketch created by Scrapbook Circle design team member Diana Fisher. 

It is a great sketch! I can’t wait to create one using the sketch but I hardly spare some time for that. Hmm... I should give it a try before the challenge ends. But wait, it is going to end today!

Oh no, I have to travel and bring my kids to visit their grandparents! So, what I did was, I grabbed one whole stash of Jillibean Soup’s products on my desk and some tools, then straight jumped into the car. Frankly speaking, I did not know what’s actually inside the stash. They were my gift from my very special crafty friend – Cindy Lee. Thank you so much, Cindy! They are my precious now! Well, this was an unusual me. I never scrap without a plan in my mind and grabbed whatever I see on my desk to craft. I might miss out some embellishments. Don’t care so much. Just create using whatever I have. Wish me luck!

I wish I can own some Pinkfresh Studio products. They are very beautiful and nice, especially the limited edition kit! Wait for me to feed my piggy bank and I sure will have them in my craft collection ;-)

Here’s my take:

I used all Jillibean Soup’s products except for the paper clip, washi tape, wood veneer, chipboard alphabets and enamel dots. I layered a screen prints beneath the panel of the photo. Actually, I was quite worry about the color combination as I created this layout in a dim room. Luckily, the outcome was not too bad. I used multicolor, but blue and green were the main colors. The photo selected was taken years ago when Little Ze was below one year old. I love his sweet smile, his hair style and the saliva on his mouth. I made the title a little cooler - Mr. Punk, using silver foil chipboard letters to bring out the mood. I just wanted to avoid the layout become too sweet and get dull. There were quite a number of small little tiny wordings in the layout. It was quite fun to play with them.

Thanks for the fabulous sketch and get me inspired! I had fun creating this layout!

Happy Scrapping!

Layout: You Are My Sunshine, You Make Me Happy!

Hi! Today I’m going to share with you my layout for Mei Li Paperie’s August Inspired by... Challenge. I love this month’s inspiration piece. 

Sad to hear that Robin Williams passed away. Robin Williams made art that changed my generation. His humor, his storytelling, and his thousand and one different expressions are what I watched growing up. Not just any celebrity can bring about epic feelings of childhood. Robin Williams is one of the few artists in our time that has that gift. Ok, back to the inspiration piece. It shown a fun photo of him that has a lot of feeling. How I get inspired? 

First, the B&W photo and the wooden floor caught my eyes. I straight away thought of my Pink Paislee’s Hello Sunshine – Happy Days and Simple Stories’Vintage Bliss Gray Wood/Butterfly Stiches patterned papers. Secondly, the humor of Robin Williams.

To me, black is dark, sorrow and sad color. By the way, this was my first attempt to create a black base layout. Well, since Robin Williams brought us so much laughters, it was great to turn this black to a bright and happy layout. Laughter is the best medicine. I chose Pink Paislee’s Hello Sunshine – Happy Days as my base. Do you notice the wordings at the bottom of the paper? Does it sounds familiar to you? Yes, it was part of the lyrics in a song called “You Are My Sunshine”.

I came across Creative Embellishments’ August Challenge.

I was being inspired by the picture and for the twist to use ‘You Are My Sunshine, You Make Me Happy’ as my title. I chose a photo of my little Sunshine - Little Ze is smiling and saying ‘cheese!’.  He really brightens up my day. Then, I added a stripe of wordings from Hello Sunshine patterned paper … Let’s sing!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

I used the sketch from Elle’s studio Sketch Thursday 21/08/2014.

Oh, Robin Williams holding some little flowers and some on the floor in the first inspiration piece. I included some little colorful flowers in my layout as well. Can you spotted them? 

I used two transparent tags in this layout.

I adhered mini alphabets to the transparent tags and layered it on top of a square piece which I stamped a camera onto it. You said Cheese!!!

That’s all for today!

Happy Crafting!

Layout: So Fun! You Make Me Smile!

I came across Elle's Studio Sketch Thursday dated 14.08.14. The sketch was perfect to record any and all summer memories.  It was so inspiring. 

Tada...

My layout using the sketch! I created this layout within 20 - 30 minutes time while my Baby Hang taking an afternoon nap. This was my 10th layout. It was a fun and cheerful layout. These photos captured the fun moments of Baby Hang playing with his brother in the garden. I used red and yellow to bring out the mood. For the sunburst background, I used the combination of washi tape stamps and actual washi tapes to make horizontal lines. Can you differentiate between the stamped and the real washi tapes? 

Those in the rectangle boxes are the stamped washi tapes ;) 

I was having fun creating this layout, using the stuffs from one of my happy mails, my newly owned products from Elle's Studio!

The more excited news was my layout being randomly selected as the winner of that week for the sketch. Yippee!

Layout: So Thirsty?

Oh! Mei Li Paperie's August Colour Challenge is due today. Few more hours to go. Luckily, I managed to join in the party wagon. 

Here's the August color palette:

Frankly speaking, this color palette is quite tough for me. I have no idea why. However, I still wanna challenge myself. I give myself even a harder task - to create a boy related themed in pink by following the color palette given. Normally, blue will be my choice when everything comes to boy and water. So, this time, I used pink, brow and gold.

Here's what I come up with:

This was my 9th layout. What do you think? 

I wanted something funny and cute for this layout. Therefore, I chose this photo that showing Baby Hang eagerly and so insisted to drink the water from the tap. Oh my, he really made me laugh and angry at the same time. 

I 'slot' in a transparent tag and a journaling card in the 'pocket' underneath the layering.

I used the sketch from Creative Scrappers sketch #275 by Jenny Evans. 

That's all for today!

Happy Crafting!
