LO 007 – My Heart Belongs to You

Scrapmojo Challenge 30!

Yes this is the one that I re-did. That explains why it is simple.

Like the way my photo turns out? Visit Walholizer, but just to let you know I edited mine in case you wonder why did mine have an original in the middle. 🙂

What’s the next challenge? Hmms.

Scrapmojo Challenge 30 Peeks

Ok. I admit I made a HUGE MESS. Who cares? Which human doesn’t make mistakes?? Anyway, a peek of my mess on this LO for Scrapmojo Challenge 30.

My LO sketch

Mess with Paint & Ephemera

Playing with colors

I made a mess on the LO and my hands. >< I am having trouble getting the paint off my hands.

I am THRILLED!

I am so pleasantly surprised! I won the Ad This challenge and it is my first time winning a challenge! I won it with my 6th LO. 😀 I get to guest design for the next challenge!

*Jumping with JOY*

LO 006 – Discover the Beauty of Life

I submitted this for Ad This Feb 16 Challenge. The ad inspiration for this challenge inspired me to create this layout as the overall of the advertisement gave me a vintage feel. I input what is required (the hand made embellishment and embossing) and input some distress papers, lace, ribbons and charms to complete the vintage look of my LO. As for the handmade embellishment, I used some wire to shape up the string of beads and place the beaded flower over a hand sewn lace flower. I added dry embossed butterflies to my LO to match the flower I have there.

And I think I will submit this to SOL Lacey Layout Challenge. I followed through the Word & Challenge of the Week.

What can be said is said. Let’s allow the pictures say what they have got to say.

(Pardon. I handwritten the sub-title in GOLD which can be hardly seen in the above photo. The reason for using the color is that “the Beauty of Life” is precious and to me gold can interpret that.)

Journaling:

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. – Ashley Smith

Lace, Glorious Lace

I stumbled upon a new challenge when I was “hopping” around the links in my blog yesterday. The Art Is Found (TAIF) is now into this elegant lovely item, “Lace”. As mentioned in my previous post, I am in love with lace and would create something from it. So I thought, “Why not try it out and at the same time acheive my goal.”. And VIOLA! 🙂

I grabbed an notebook that has been laying around my tray for a good few months and wrap it up with left over pattern papers. I perfect the joining of 2 pattern papers with sticker ribbon.

Sweet Colours that I love!

Lace, oh lovely~!

Hand-sew the lace into flower and played around with some beads and a button.

And the lace strap! I *hearts* the purple.

Attached some Velcro for the closure…

How it closes...

A peek inside: it is still brand new empty notebook!

Brand New Notebook with Brand New Look!

Lace is a wonderful and amazing supply to work with. 😀

Dream Girls Challenge 21: Clearly Yours; Have you challenged yet?

It is definitely FUN for this LO, my 5th LO. Still the same old Janet pattern to hand cut and hand make embellishments and alphabets. Hand sew lace and use glitter papers. The challenge is to use a CLEAR BACKGROUND and the twist is to use word like Yours, You, You’re etc. Fun fun fun!

SOL CHALLENGE – Layering w/o Pattern Papers

WOOHOO! Okay, once again I rushed to the very last minute of dateline and submitted my third LO. 😆

The LO of the week is:

The twist of the challenge is to not use any pattern paper bought but to create your own paper paper.

As I am still new at scrapping, I do not own any stamps, therefore I used acrylic paint to create my own pattern paper. 🙂

Here are the works:

And here are the close ups of some handmade pattern papers:

I hand painted the sakura and outline it with gold paint.

I got this idea from scallop papers as the one I have is plain yet the scallop sides gives it a little design and VIOLA! 😉

SOL CHALLENGE – What I've Learned in 2008
