Hello!! Back after ages and a card to share.

Hi everyone! I know I've been missing for a while, but I have been doing a slight bit of travelling, finishing my new collection for the Atelier and just after our second year anniversary.

so I am going to share with you the card I gave my husband for our anniversary. I made it very plain and simple using this wonderful robot trio stamp I received from Hero arts for a monthly challenge win! Hero arts has certainly been so good to me, and they make the best quality stamps:-)

This particular stamp was chosen because of the cute heart it had on it's chest (and the other two robots from this set were ideal for birthdays, which I would be using for baby boy cards).

The paper I used was from the 6x6 paper pad by Echo park called Dots and stripes. This paper pad's filled with all shades of polka dot paper (and stripy paper of course). I love anything with polka dots, so glad I picked this one up! I used a lovely navy polka dot on this card to make it a bit more masculine.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed today's post:-) Will be back soon with more layouts I created while I was missing, quite a few to share, need to photograph them as soon as I get the chance:-)

Supplies:

Hero arts stamps- Cl 342( Everyday sayings) LP 197 (Robot Trio)

Echo Park paper pad ( Dots and Stripes)

Bikers!

Hi there, a fabulous Thursday to you all! Today I like to share a layout I created with some photographs from Santorini. It was about our little bike ride around the island by which we explored Santorini, in and out.

For this layout I used mostly patterned paper and a few rubons, stickers and stamps. The banners are by Studio Calico. I love how they added a bit of whimsy on the layout:-)

Using a Die-Namics die, I cut out these little clouds with some pretty Basic Grey paper. I also used some card stock to punch out a postage stamp matting for my photograph and a circle to add the date. The reason I used red as a matting was so that the blue in the photograph would stand out more and I also used some yellows and muted blues to bind it all together and add a bit of colour.

I used a few October Afternoon word stickers to add sub titles around my main title 'Bad ass quad bikers'. The yellow really stands out against the blue Pink Paislee patterned paper.

This tag is home made with some My minds eye paper and a Fancy pants rubons, I nestled it over a cute Crate paper sticker for some added intrest:-)

I completed this layout with a bit of twine and journaling.

Thank you for dropping by today, and have a wonderful weekend:-)

My first doodled layout!

Hello lovely blog friends!

Thank you for dropping by:-) Today I want to share with you the final layout of my puppy I created with the doodled accent I shared with you in one of my older posts. As you can see I added another doodle of vines on the right side of my layout as well to balance it out.

I did most of the colouring with my trusty Copics, and some with my Faber Castell markers. (this butterfly stamp is my favorite Hero arts butterfly wood block stamp, I doodled around it:-) )

I wanted my layout to have lots of colour to make it look playful and suitable to portray a puppy. I also used lots of fun accents as well as paint splatters here and there.

I love these sunny foam alpha stickers, they are by Pink Paislee and come in several colours. Needless to say, the yellow ones have been used the most:-) I love combining several different alphas to create a easy going layout.

The stamped 'pet statistics' journal spot is from a Unity stamps mini stamp. I picked it specially for this layout:-) I also used a piece of a punched out picket fence I had leftover from a previous project. Love how it adds a homely feel... ( the chipboard house too was used for the same reason)

This cute vintage button is something I picked up at Made with Love Singapore. I love shopping there.. I feel so happy spending hours and hours browsing through the aisles! he he

The transparency too is something I picked up in Singapore from a discount bin:-)

As you can see the layout is full of little bits and pieces. I tend to save up even the tiniest scraps of patterned paper, so this is a good way to utilise them:-)

Supplies:

Patterned paper- Sassafras, Basic Grey

Stamps- Hero arts, Unity stamps

Brads- Sassafras

Chipboard- Maya Road

Alphas- Cosmo Cricket, Pink Paislee, Little yellow bicycle

Glimmer mist

Martha Stewart butterfly punch

Have a great day!

I am back!

Hi there,

Yes, it's been a month since my last post. It's not that I haven't been crafting, it's just that I haven't had much free time during the day and been crafting late at night and therefore unable to photograph my projects:-(

So today, since it's Sunday, I am going to try my best to photograph as many of my layouts and cards as possible.

And now I am going to share a card I made for a little girls birthday!

I used my Basic Grey mini deck from the Olivia collection and stamped out this candy floss stamp from Hero arts. I love that the pink paper has a slight texture to it:-) Makes the candy floss look more authentic!

I then cut out two frames, one in this dot pattern and one in a dark solid pink. I used a white base card stock and stamped the sentiment and background in black and leafy green ink. After assembling the layers I took some twine and added a bow, and also highlighted parts of the candy floss with my trusty stickles:-)

That's my card for the day, hope you enjoyed!

Hugs!

Sweet treats

I am here to share with you a little treat I made for my husband, not the main gift but just a little something extra I made to surprise him when he got to work in the morning, left it on the desk at night!

Been putting off posting this little project since It's been quite a bummer editing photographs with my new software.. As you can see, white balancing has not been very easy. So today I am posting some photographs of my new little gift tag, who cares about white balance right:-)

You couldn't really call it a gift tag, not sure what the right word is.. let's just call it a decorating thingy! I used a stick that comes in rub-on packages, I love rub-ons, so I have quite a few of these.. high time I used one for a crafty project:-)

I used a die cut machine and cut out the main scallops with Basic Greys Sugar Rush paper, then I used some white ledger paper from the Basics collection for the centre. After a bit of stamping and colouring, here is the finished project.

The white circle was mounted with pop dots for added dimension.

And the pretty candy stamps are by Hero arts (Valentines sayings), so is the sentiment. I had to perform a bit stamp surgery to get it just the way I like it.

So thats my post for today, hope ya'll have a great day, and will be back to share some layouts I made, as soon as the sun comes out and I can photograph.. It's been a rainy bunch of days so far:-(

Enjoy every moment!

Happy Sunday all:-) Finally a card, been making so many layouts lately and I feel like I have been neglecting those of you who actually follow my blog for cards!

The thing was, I don't like to make a card unless I do have a good idea worth sharing, and inspiration was running low... I decided to make a card with this cute butterfly, and I wanted to incorporate a frame. So this was what I came up with.

I used the rain dots background, one of my favourites. I love how cute and tiny they are, perfect for adding that something extra to plain card stock.

I first stamped the butterfly and then marked out the frame, so that the butterfly could be part of the frame (a single layer) . I cut the frame out making sure I didn't snip off bits of my butterfly! Coloured with Copics and sponged in a pink ink onto my frame for a little bit of colour, and I mounted it on this tiny green dot background I stamped:-)

And there is the close up:-)

All Stamps are by Hero Arts ( Traditional butterfly, Rain dots background, Thoughtful messages)

Spun Sugar distress ink

Tuxedo black Memento ink

Green ink is VersaMagic

My first attempt at doodling!

Hi there:-) I am still enjoying my long weekend, another long holiday over here in our little country;-)

While I was trying my best to fit three photographs onto a single layout I thought I'd try my hand at art journalling/ for now doodling that is:-) I was desperate to use my new Faber-Castell India ink brush markers. What I soon realised was, that they were not meant to be used for images which required heavy shading. As I learnt after I coloured in my butterfly! Sigh.

Immediately switched to my Copics and finished off the colouring:-) What do you think?

I will be saving my Faber-Castell lovelies for actual Art journalling.. I might show you what I get up to soon!

Here is a little peek from my layout..

( P.S: sorry about the poor quality photograph, the butterfly is far more vivid in real life)

Supplies:

Copics

Hero Arts Butterfly

Faber-Castell Black marker assortment
