Hello Scrappers...
today I have an interesting page to share with you....I did lots of handwork on this.. 
This is for Creative Scrappers #162
This is the sketch by Aphra Bolyer..thanks so much for the inspiration...


And this is my take...
Faux stitching fonts that i'm falling in love with....
Bought from our LSS here last week..i'm really loving the stitches around the alphabets there....
The flowers there, I actually drew them myself. I tore pages from an old book.  First I used a brayer with glimmer mist and go over it to give it a more aged look....I than use a little paintbrush to draw the flowers and leaves, also with tattered angels glimmer mist...Dry them with the heat tool gun, and when its completely dried, I go over with a white gel pen to outline the flowers..  lastly I added some blings for some dimension.. This was really fun to do.. I learnt this techniques from the Youtube by Shimmerz. I don't have Shimmerz spray paint, so I used TA Glimmer Mist instead... You should try and discover it yourself and you will be amazed at how versatile they can be.. I know I was..

Next I did some stitching here... I used my leftover twines..poke some holes using my pin, and started my way in and out till I reached the top...It's my first time doing it and i think it won't be my last.. 
I think it's quite cool...lol

And finally...
here's my take for the sketch...
Always Together
Yup that's the three of us....my sisters and myself..
We don't always meet up that often, but when we do, it's always the three of us together...
So i think the title is just perfect for this page...

Ok I'm going to leave you for now...
You have a great midweek
Love

Loving You Always
This is a page I did for my sister. It is something a little different from my usual. I did lots of distressing and also bubble wrap stamping on this one. She loves pink and i thought this will be perfect for her. Also at the same time I want her to know that I'll always love her. This one for you Shad :)

Sorry it's a little blur here...Hmm.... I wonder wonder...
Anyhow...how's your Monday been so far? Hope you have had a great weekend..Mine was a great one spending time with DH. Today I'm totally shag.. the kids are back to school after a long month break I've been up and about since 7am. I was doing all the household chores... like a typical housewife would do. I have not touch my scrappy stuff yet...
I'm tired....I think I want to take a short nap now.

Hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing..
Stay Happy
Love

This is for
Creative Scrappers Sketch #161

and this is my take for it...

This is a very simple and manly page. No flowers and very minimal embellishment. I've used Tim Holtz tag and some masking tape. Lots of distressing and added some buttons for a little texture.. Soon Creative Scrappers will be coming up with their #162 and I can't wait to play along again..

It's a lovely Sunday morning here and hope you'll have a beautiful day ahead.

Hi friends..
today I'm sharing with you a page I did for Pencil lines sketch #243. I love creating white page sometimes, and when I saw this sketch, I knew exactly what I want to do with it. So without further ado..
here's sketch #243 from Pencil Lines

and this is my take...


That's my daughter and my sister..both their names starts with letter S, so when I'm out of title like now....lol  S & S came in mind. Again I played with chopstick and added my favorite rosebuds...

here's a little close up


I'm loving the purple here..At times purple can be a little challenging to work with but I think, 
with white base, it works well...
Anyways..hope you are enjoying your Friday
Love

Another altered canvas....
This is the last one that I have and finally I got my hands on it. I love making altered art sometimes and these teeny weeny canvas which is about 5inch by 5 inch or maybe slightly bigger is really fun to work with. 

Bliss


Pardon me..I know I have used this photo before but somehow i really like this...
So that's my altered canvas..and the earlier one was for Prima's PPP. There's so many things one can do with canvas...like stamping, inking, misting, painting etc...For me, I did some inking and bubble wrap stamping. I tried working on some muted colors and I hope this is soft enough...lol
Some close up on the flowers....

You see those rose buds...I just bought them from a friend. They are so sweet and so tiny that you can easily add them on any of your projects. Miss V thank you so much for getting me these. I really really love them so much. And you see, I used chopstick again, I must be addicted to this skinny wooden stick for one reason or another. I inked the stick with my versafine deep blue lagoon and clustered all my flowers and I twirled some thin green wire on it like as if they are really vines growing on a branch....lol

 I will be working on Pencillines and Creative Scrappers sketches for this week today. 
Hope you are also getting your creative juice flowing. 
Smile Be Happy
Love

Once again...
I'm playing with the Prima's Build A Page for June. Somehow I think I'm always late at this..partly because, our LSS here does not carry a huge quantity of Prima products. Apart from Prima flowers and some embellishment here and there, there's actually nothing much you can get in store. So that's the reason, when I want to play along with their BAP I will take a little longer than usual coz i need to dig out my old stash to get some nice papers to work with..I hope they will bring in Prima goodies sometime soon... Ok I think I'm rambling too much here...
Here is the sketch for June BAP...
and this is mine...

That's me and my sister..we are always happy when we are together..
That's a happy us...

little close up...
Instead of journalling..I used the Prima packaging, cut it into shape and replace the journalling with this. I have plenty of this, and when I can used it here, it's not bad after all huh? So you see, when you have those Prima flowers with this kind of packaging at the back, don't throw them away..they can be useful sometime..

I'm also trying my luck with June's Prima Product Pick.. If you have not seen them yet, please visit here and you can see the vibrant colors that you can have fun with..
I had so much fun doing this yesterday..
Here's what I've done...
I played with chopsticks....lol

Just in case you are wondering about the sentiment..it's actually Prima's iron-on.

Well that's all I have for you today..
If you want to play along at Prima, there's still some time left before June 30th. 
Hurry and get creative!!
Hope your Tuesday is fine...

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
