Day 1 ~ Forever Together

I was actually inspired by my Instagram friend, Claudia's 100dayselflovejourney. I decided to embark on this journey myself and I thought of creating a 170 mm x 210 mm mini album. I know this is going to be a real challenge in itself and most of all it is going to be a test of self-endurance, self-discipline and patience. I chose to start with a CAS layout showcasing my loved ones.

This is my Day 1 Self-love Journey. I have no idea where or how the journey will take me to, but I really am going to fit the journeys into this 170x210 mm size. I guess this is the hard part.

Location : Seoul, Korea, April 2015

Supplies: Recycled File for Base, Enogreen Pattern papers, Kaisercraft sentiment, Kaisercraft

Die-cut Border, Typo Wooden Flower, Momoyo Sentiment, Coredinations Cardstock,

This One's For The Girls

I first created this layout in late 2014 for the Black with Two challenge. I stopped midway because the layout looked so flat, with no dimensions and textures. In other words very, very unappealing.
This was the original layout.

I had the opportunity to view seriously-terhi-koskinen and learnt her textural techniques. I did not get close enough to hers because I am still a scrooge when it comes to using my supplies generously. Well, scrapbooking supplies in Malaysia is very expensive. I end-up using my left-overs from my stash hoping to add some dimensions. Still not good enough but will keep on trying.
I revisit my layout after staring at it for a little over  a year not knowing how to finish it. Using Terhi's techniques, I carefully trim out the photo from the page and cropped it tightly. I decided to go back to basic, ie CAS and give this layout the finishing touch. There is no paints being used here except a teeny bit of ink to ink the edges of the Title. I chose to handwrite my title for this layout which I am submitting to challenge-yourself  with the theme This One's for the Girls.

I chose the title of the song as the title for the layout and one of the line in the lyrics "Who love without holdin' back" to complement the page. This photo was taken in 2013 of my mum and myself.

Supplies: Bazzil Cardstock, Lace trim, Mix and match scraps pp from stash, Kaisercraft die-cut and tags, Lace flower, Micia Ink, Zigler pen, Handmade flower, Mulberry paper, Bling for flower center

Thank you for stopping by and giving your love. God Bless you.

Special

Red is my favourite colour. When the challenge at whitewith1 states White + Jester Red, this photo of myself and Atikah came to mind. This was taken during our Teambuilding session at Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh in 2014. The theme for the Teambuilding was Halloween.Well, I must say I was not really keen on the topic but played along because it is Company function. The hardest part was to get the appropriate costume.

The one item that I remember so well was the Hotel room that was about RM500 per night. Since it was a weekend, both my husband and Zahra' arrived later in the day. The two of them had their own agenda while I was with my colleque.

At Lost world of TambunSupplies: White Cardstock, Prima Annalee pp, Kaiser Butterfly and sentiment, Petaloo flowers, Kaiser Flowers, Prima lowers, Artplorations "Happy Flowers" Stencil, Kaiser "Crackle" Stencil, Printribbon (P515-041), Acryclic Paint, Doily, Prima Felt, Momoyo Brad, Tsukeniko Ink, Modelling Paste

Wonder!

Hello to all my blogging friends.
Today the weather is slightly cooler than other days and it is gave a good time to clean my bacryard. I had been reading the papers and getting Whatsapp messages that the extremely hot weather is a very good excuse for snakes to find cooler places to cool themselves. That sort of give me the boost and incentives to take charge of my living room and backyard. Had to stop to prepare lunch. But before that, I decided to finish off my layout I started a week ago and blog it. Well, I, too, need to cool down. During the spring clean, I found my husband's long lost Bank Books. Finally! The search for his Bank Books had come to a happy ending.

Here's the layout I create for Stamplorations mixedmediachallenge. The beauty of this challenge is that the use of stencils is not confined to Stamplorations/Artplorations Stencils. Otherwise, I would go to my sister's, Asmah, house to borrow her Stencils.

Stencil Sunday #40 + April Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome to another edition of Stencil Sunday with the STAMPlorations girls in the Mixed Media design team  And because it's the first Sunday of the month, it's also time for a new Mixed Media Challenge!

Here is the layout:

Supplies: Enogreen pp, Scraps of pp from stash, Kaiser Flowers, Kaiser Stencils, Stencils from Stash, Wooden Hearts from Typo, Enogreen Embellies, Kaiser sentiment, Epxoy Sticker for Title, Gesso, Acrylic Paints, Modelling Paste, Sunlit border punch

This photo was taken at Itaewon, Seoul, Trick Eye Museum. Off course, the male partner is still non-existent and this is a big question mark for us all.

Thank you for stopping by.

Quote Journal

I am not a card person, so when my young friend had his birthday today, I decided to create this Journal instead.
The colours I used mimicked the background colors of the Quote. The elements of time play a big role in shaping our life in general so the clocks are symbolic of what we missed and what we hope to accomplish. I just love vintage cars and its presence is to indicate moving on.
I am submitting this journal to Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #23 "Dimension"

Here is my take on the challenge and the link mmm-challenge-23

Supplies : Chipboard, Pieces of Scrap Pattern Paers from stash, Enogreen Embellies, Kaisercraft  Embellies,
Marta Stewart Punch, Drywall Tape,  Bubble Wrap, Stazon Ink, Acrylic Paints, White Gesso

Thank you for stopping by.

Friendship Bracelet

Hello! Good morning.

When I came across this photo of my daughter and her friend showing their friendship bracelets, I thought this would make an entirely different layout. Two of the bracelets on Zahra's hands were made by her while the other bracelet was a gift from her friend. I used the Kaisercraft March sketch to create this layout.

Here's the layout:

Supplies - Kaisercraft Papers (Antique Rose / Blue Bay / Vintage Timeless / Sandy Toes Collections) 
Sentiment from Kaisecraft
Clock from Enogreen
Doily from Typo
Kaisercraft Flowers
Kaisercraft Die-cut Flowers
Handmade flowers courtesy of Asmah
Stamps
Tsukineko Inks
Stencil
Gesso
Acrylic Paints
Left-over Cardstock
Paper Boutique Alphas for Title

Since I am going to a wedding, will write-up after my return. TTYL.

Hi, I am back.
 After putting all the finishing touches, I showed it to Zahra'. "Hmmm.....rather plain", she said. In the end, I added the stamps that came together with the craft magazine I bought. She is happy with the outcome.
This layout is for Kaisercraft March sketch challenge and thank you for looking.
