Not sure why yellow is creeping into my projects again. Must be a longing for the sun and being outdoors. You have to admit that this cheery color is a happy little one. I have 2 cards to share, one , although sunny & bright , wishes a special someone goodbye. Karyn has a penchant for happy things... Read More
Mei Mei was back recently and this weekend we got to hang out with Ming for a bit. It’s nice to see the siblings together and how they interact with each other at different phases of their lives. I still think that families were meant to stay close to each other. One big regret in my life is... Read More
Happy Sunday crafters & artists. After a busy Saturday, it was a toss up between bath & bed or scrap time. Scrap time won. Yay! I dug out materials and photos to continue with Sarah’s baby book. No kidding, the girl is 18 and I’m at Day 1. Actually , I did start and looking back... Read More
It’s been a busy weekend. Lots of new people came by the store , I-mei is back for a visit after a 7 month trek through Europe & the UK and a surprise visit by some old time friends and, sadly by the time I got home each day, even with a ‘I want to make something’ enthusiasm,... Read More
A little weekend scrapping and I started on this sweet Maya Road minibook project. I’m loving the whitewashed look with faded pinks, blues & creams. I’ve put together all the pages and now I’m going back to embellish each page. If you are meaning to start on a minibook project,... Read More
It’s no secret I love flowers on my projects, but lately I’ve been looking for other kinds of blooms. This card was looking rather unfinished and was really needing a bloom of some sort. I tried a few but it didn’t quite pop then I rummaged through my trims and these caught my eye.... Read More
Moments like these are so special. (not to mention silly) And if I didn’t scrap them, the vivid details of the moment would surely fade. Everyone at home had a good laugh when I finished this page. It was such a funny & happy Christmas and being able to scrap the memory brought back all... Read More
Hello! Here’s the Christmas card that I said I would make to kick start the ‘holiday cardmaking/ scrapping of last December’s pics’ project. It’s almost the end of June and a lot of you are enjoying some kind of a summer activity which probably includes family and... Read More
I just found out that “Friends day” was on June 8th. I didn’t even know there was such a day. Even though it is nice having a special day to think of all the friends we’ve come to know throughout our lives. So here’s a card i made in celebration of friends everywhere. ... Read More
Half of 2011 has passed. Well almost. June is a good time to look back & look forward. If you didn’t do too well on the goals and resolutions front, do not fret, there’s a whole half year to revisit the plan or make new plans for the rest of the year. June is the time to take a break,... Read More
I have two cards to share today to make up for the missing posts, while I’ve been away. The first is purely experimental. I’ve been playing with 2 new products that will be in the store, maybe next month. The first, Magnolia stamps and the second Copic pens. The stamps were easy to... Read More
What have all you crafty people been up to? What’s been inspiring you? I see a lot of weddings going on, in fact down my street today we spotted a train of white cars and a happy couple emerging from one of them, pretty bridesmaids in bold pink… all smiles, and lace and promises. I wish... Read More
I moved rooms. I now have a smaller space with my home office & scraproom now in one room which frees up 2 rooms that I hope to redecorate as guest rooms. Not everything is in place and it’s been a slow process, with me being at the store much of the time. Last weekend we put up notice... Read More
I’m not sure what’s up with the yellow in my projects these days. I’m not one to be a fan of yellow, but it keeps showing up. I sit down to make something , and yellow creeps in.
This Martha Stewart punch is on everyone’s wish list, if they haven’t already got one.... Read More
I am so excited to share my new blog with you. I had a blog but it was not so much on creative stuff, more like musings and ramblings. But this one will be mostly about layouts and cards , altered projects & minibooks. Inspiration and sharing. Lots of sharing I hope. Send me your work and maybe... Read More
I’m still working on this anniversary project that blends 2 Crate Paper collections, Portrait and Emma’s shop. The idea is to put on paper (or canvas), 2 totally different personalities, yet sharing a space or a life. Masculine/ feminine. Strong/ soft. Complementing/ contrasting. Two things... Read More
