Just saying hello....



and hope you have a good start to your Friday morning.  This is the latest addition to my card making craze.. I just bought a Repositionable rubber stamps by HeroArts from our LSS here yesterday and immediately work on it as soon as I got home. Flowers are from Petaloo and of course Prima. I inked it with Worn Lipsticks added some lace and blings and Viola...it's done... 

On a happier note.. My page for the May's BAP got featured on Prima's blog among other wonderful scrappers beautiful pages. I'm so honoured to be featured for the second time consecutively in two months. I never thought that mine will be picked again. Thank you so much, and for those whose pages are also up on the blog..Congrats. Just in case if you haven't noticed, Prima's blog has got a new skin with a new look.

I did a teeny weeny bookmark corner and loving it a lot.  It's just a simple one and here it is...


 Thanks so much for dropping by..
Have a great Friday everyone
Love

#160
over at Creative Scrappers is such a beauty. Here's my take for it that I would love to share with you. If you want to play along, there's still sometime to have fun.


Here's the sketch...it's just so lovely right?
This is my take...
I choose to scrap about my parents... photo taken in 1952
They are resting in peace in heaven now...
The blue flower is for dad and the pink is for mom..
Mom & Dad:
Though you have been gone for many years,
I still have both of you at heart
May the angels of Heaven be with both of you

A little close up on the embellishments
These are flowers I just bought over at our LSS not long ago. Just loving them..

That's all for now..
Have a great day
Love

Captured Moment...
Once Upon A Sketch reveal for 15 June is already up on their blog. This time the journalling criteria is to journal at least 4 sentences on why your pictures are memorable. The theme is 'A Moment In Time'. Their Guest Designers and Design Team work are truly awesome. They all do wonderfully gorgeous work. Do check them them here to get your inspiration. There's also some yummy prizes to be won. You may the lucky one..you never know if you never try.
So here I am trying my luck...


This is Nadia's beautiful sketch to work with..


I flipped the sketch to my left and this is my page....


 Ok this is one hilarious picture of my son. We brought him to Universal Studio at the Resort World here in Singapore. It was during their soft opening and we really had a great time there. You know how these characters like Franklin Einstein, Charlie Chaplin to name a few will just walked around and you can snapped photo with them if you want. Ok out of nowehere there was this Joker that was walking and jumping around and was walking towards our direction. My son saw him and immediately ran and hide under a nearby table behind the stool. He got the fright of his life when he saw this "zebra man" (his description of him, not mine)..lol. He was so panicked and refused to get out from under the table until the zebra man went out of sight. He was so hilarious. I caught him on camera. That was indeed one unforgettable captured moment.
 I will definitely show him this page again when he grows up. He will than have a good laugh at himself. Silly boy....

Thanks for coming by

Sisters...
Here's a page I wanted to share...They are my sisters that I usually hang out with..We don't meet often, so when we do, we usually snap pictures of ourselves..I'm loving the Dusty Attic Wire Dress here. I thought my page will be messy,but thankfully it turned out quite well...



Memories
are the most
beautiful
pictures
our mind can paint
and 
nothing
can ever erase them

Yes, these are one of those sweet memories that we had when we were together. We laughed, we joke, we imitate, we do silly stuff. Sisters..I wonder what I'll do without them.
I thank God above for sending them into my life..

Thanks for coming
Love

Some Gentleman cards..
I did over the weekend, I wanted to do only one but ended up with four altogether..haha..it's addictive seriuosly..I got inspired through the net via YouTube..Thanks to Dawn from StampinUp for these..
Here you go...

You open it up by lifting the collar a little, and there behind the shirt with the tie, you can write your message. You can also fold up the sleeve, it will sit in neatly in an envelope if you want to mail it out. How cool.. It's super duper easy to do this!! You know how difficult it is to do a guy card right? 
So with these..... it's a Yipee!!

I must have woken up from the wrong side of the bed today..lol Yup immediately after I freshen up, I took out my distress inks, my dabber, my wooden stamp and papers and started working on this..
Mind you..way before I even took my breakfast..I must be crazy...
My son was like..."so early in the morning?"
He must be thinking in his mind, what's up with my mom? Haha, that was funny..if only you could see the expression on his face..
So here's my card..my "morning breakfast" today...


I was smiling to myself when doing this. I cut out butterflies from the stamp to give it a 3d look.. I'm supposed to use a blending tool, but because I don't have one, I used a dabber instead so that's why the 3 colors doesn't really blend in well. I will definitely try this method again. I was inspired at Penny Black's blog when I was there yesterday. Every Mondays, their DT will inspired you with some stamping techniques. You have to spend sometime visiting their blog if you love stamping like me. They do amazing work. 

 Distress Inks that I used :
Shabby Shutters
Weathered Wood
Dried Marigold
Scattered Straw

Thanks for coming..
Have a lovely day ahead

Be back with a page layout shortly...

Some cards 
I've just completed and thought of sharing it with you..


I used Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Ephemera
Maya Road Tag
Own Lace
Distress Ink - Pumice Stone

I kind of like this one a little more than the above..
Again I've used the Pink Paislee patterned paper
Added my own ribbon
Maya Road Trinkets/Pin
Prima Flowers
Rub-ons (MSE)
Bling

This is something out of the box..
I wanted to try something different..I just bought a new set of Penny Black rubber stamp.
I was inspired when I visited their blog and that's how this card was born..
You can check the techniques here and have fun with your stamping.. It's really inspiring
I did some embossing here and colored it with my oil pastel crayons..

And now on to the next one...
Same rubber stamp but done differently..

I stamped and colored the flower and curled it a little to give some dimension..
I used my Faber Castell coloring pencils and spend about close to half an hour coloring this piece.
I also used Tim Holtz stamping collection and one of the K & Co Ephemeras.
I like this...it's simple and clean

Once again from my Penny Black rubber stamp collection
 Hmm..so you can see..I'm in a card making mood lately..but I have to complete some pages as well..

I'm working on these, a color that I've never worked on before, 
and crossing my fingers that it will turned out nice.. lol
Thanks for coming by..
Hope your Friday is doing you fine.
Take Care

Sisters

Sister is someone
more special than words can even 
begin to describe
She is love mixed with friendship
and with a million favorite memories
that will always last
