Shimelle's scrapbook weekend Challenge #16 - Use up your scraps :D

I had a great time at shimelle's scrapbook weekend and I also sign up for her new workshop with the early birds discount! I'm so excited because may is my holidays and i can have so much fun with the workshop without worrying my school work :D

The last challenge is to use up our scraps :D

I didnt do lotsa layout over the weekend, so didnt use the scraps left over from this project. Instead, I when through my stash and found some older Crate paper collection that i still have lotsa scraps left in the package. I even leave behind the 'title strip' (not sure what you call them, haha). So here i used scraps from about 4 crate paper collection all mixed in. for strips, i stick them onto the back of the small stack of papers. For squarish scraps, as small as 1 by 1.5 inches, i use the jenni bowlin/ fiskars tab punch and the MS butterfly punch ( both are my favourite punches! )

This layout is about my sister, yes and she is a little crazy, haha, crazy in the sense, jokes alot. Sometimes too much.

Thanks for looking :D Till next time!

Shimelle's Scrapbook Challenge 02 and CSI case file #15

Using this colour scheme

And the challenge of mixing up papers

I get this layout :)

It's quite an interest process

 because at first i didnt know what to come up with

i have been following starting points/sketch closely lately

but den i started cutting strips of the pattern paper i picked

and place them on my layout

and yay! i think i get a good mix :)

I used the papers from October afternoon (Sasparilla)

Heidi Swapp (no limits)

Amy Tangerine older collection

Simple stories Life documented bingo paper

I added some Chevron stamps from paper smoochies

And the clear tapes from KI memories (if i didnt recall wrongly)

And bakers twines  

Added more washi tapes :)

and the negative of the punched notebook edge

Used the new hambly studio prints 

and used a clear pop dot at the back

see the chevron pattern's shadow at the backgrd? 

hehe i love that

Journaling at the bottom (hehe forgot to add before taking pictures )
This Journaling is secret! shhh! :p

Instead of having a page torn from an old book

(i dont really have one )

i used Hero Arts friends definition background stamps

and stamped onto a piece of white cardstock 

with stazon ink and wait for it to dry

afterwhich i used distress ink in Antique Linen and Vintage photo 

to link the cardstock to make it look like a page from an old dictionary 

(just a sudden realisation, i dont think dictionary are on spiral binding

 ; ahh nevermind that , haha)

Thanks for looking:D

ColorCombosGalore #225 challenge and Shimelle's Scrapbook weekend challenge 01

Scraplifting from Jamie's layout 

Adding colours from this challenge from Colorcombosgalore

And the idea of having the flag/banner like ends to papper

and little bits and piecs of flowers and butterfly 

(i used butterflies and wooden buttons from prima)

I like how it turns out :)

Washi Tape Madness!

Confession time

I have 110 rolls of washi tapes! 

 Yes, you heard me right,

110 rolls!

Here is how i store them

the top 2 plastic boxes are from Daiso

and they are perfect because i can store about 34 rolls in each

 and still able to see the design of each rolls

the bottom 2 baskets are temporary storage

Here is a layout i done entirely using washi tape

it's so fun to play with 

the colors just cheer me up :D

______________________________________________________

I also use washi tapes for making embellishments

Here is one eg

I stick the washi tape to some white cardstocks

Cut them apart

 cut a small triangle shape off the end

Yeah! I have my washi taped banners as embellishments 

that i can use for my cards or scrapbook pages

You may share your washi-perience with me too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Shimelle's scrapbook weekend - how I store my thickers :)

I happen to have these photo on my iPhone so i though I could share it with you all :) this is how I store my thickers . It's a plastic basket from Popular bookstore ( it's a bookstore in Singapore) and it fits the 6 inches thickers just right . At the side I can also put in 12x12 alpha stickers from prima and Lilybee :)

I sort them by type - fabric / foam / puffy / chipboard etc :) Amy tangerine 's thickers have it's own section! Probably cos I collected too much of them haha .

This work well for me so far . Like shimelle says , it depends on what system works best for you. I happen to be the kind of person who look for the designs / texture rather than colour first . After I have the design right then I will look for the right colour :)

Thanks for looking !:)

Shimelle's starting point and CSI case file #14

Ok i'm lying to myself when i mention i will stop scrapping! 

Because all the art supply is just around me and i couldnt help myself !! 

I did one simple layout this evening after dinner

 using Shimelle's starting point and CSI case file #14. 

I love the pink and kraft and brown and beige comes together so well :) 

and here is my take 

Firstly , i splatter some acrylic paint mixed with water on a diagnoal line

Then i flick some Mister Huey grey mist on the largest pink paper

As usual, I inked up all the edges of my paper, and also stickers.

I cut the webster pages netting into strips

and used beacon glue to stick it down.

as i stick it down , i fold it to create the ruffles effect

I also used versamark ink and this set of stamps 

from MME Follow your heart

to add a little interest to the plain kraft cardstocks.

Also, i used the sentiments stamps 

"happy", "rejoyce" and 'Love"

 with black stazon ink

Supplies:

 paper 

AC Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection, 

EP This and That Graceful, 

MME Be Happy 

and also other assorted

 Fancy Pants and MME paper

I used the Neapolitan collection sticker book

 to add some stickers here and there
