Pocket Prompts 21 with Big Picture Classes

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to be announcing that my first class with Big Picture Classes has launched ! It is called  Pocket Prompts 21.

Here is a little information about the class:
Each month, BPC bring you a new Pocket Prompts class from an inspiring pocket-page maker. This month, I will be sharing five photo prompts and five journaling prompts, as well as a look into my process of putting a page together from start to finish. 

What will you learn
Ever want to start hybrid scrapbooking, or pocket pages scrapbooking? Or are you running out of ideas for project life and memory keeping? I will be sharing ideas of photographing and journaling your day-to-day activities, as well as tips and tricks for how to get started with hybrid pocket scrapbooking. I will also be sharing the basic use of programs like Evernote and Lightroom for hybrid pocket scrapbooking as well as ideas to embellish your pocket pages in a minimalist and cohesive way.

If you're unsure about taking this class, I have a good news for you. You may sign up for a FREE two-week trial to enjoy this class along with many other awesome classes at Bigpictureclasses!

Hope to see you in the classroom!

My favourite technique :)

Hello!

Hope you're having a great weekend so far

While making the guestbook/scrapbook 

I was tempted to use my favourite technique for card making

It's something to do with stamping

colourful and water

And time, i added some shine too :)

Here is one card that i made during valentines using this technique

and i though i could share how i made it :)

LOVe the colours :)

Here is how the finished page looks like

on my guestbook project

Close ups

See the shine and the water colour look

and the mix of fabulous colours!
LOVE IT!

Here is the supplies

You would need 

1. a few colours of dye ink

(I'm using distress inks cause I really lovee the colours)

2. A bottle that spray water

(i usually use tap water, this time I though of adding some shine

Hence i'm using the studio calico mister huey in the shine colour

it's just a glimmer water, add a glittery touch to your project. 

Quite subtle but nice in real life )

3. Your favourite stamp!

( I'm using the tim holtz cling stamp 

from the nature moment collection )

Mount ur stamp onto an acrylic block

Add the darkest colour onto your image first

I just smear direct ink pad to stamp

just be a little careful 

then add the other lighter colours,

also in ascending order or the colour tone

( from darkest to lightest)

this prevent yourself getting the ink pad stained 

i usually have no problem with that :)

then i come back in with the darker colours

to add some touches at the edges of some parts of the flowers

this add a little dimension to the stamped image

now u can see our image is all inked up

take the bottle of spray mist

Mist it about 2-3 times dependng on the size of the image

u can see the ink darkens

and become more watery looking then before

then we are good to stamp

now stamp :)

and you have ur pretty image

i thought could do one that just use all greens in different shades

Hehe this is an example of me misting too much 

becareful if you mist too much water, 

some parts of the ink might flow to other parts

and parts of the image might not stamp clearly

and it might even drip onto your project before you stamp!

(that has happen before to me >< )

well here you go the final product

fun right?

I love mixing the colours up 

and trying different colour combination

Hope you have enjoy this little tutorial

and hope you give it a try

share with me if you do !

Also want to add

I have signed up for shimelle's neew class called Scrapbook Remix

And so I though I could share my recent paper stash

I was buying so much given that my LSS is having moving out sales

and follow by ware house sales

and all the CHA goodies

I cant resist

So it's time for me to sort out my paper stash before it gets out of control!

I used the cropper hopper divider 

and added some washi tape 

and label by company

Here is part one, some papers sits in between my albums

and somehow 

the comb and hairband just find their way into the hole

haha, kind of a good way to store them too :)

makes me happy when i comb my hair and look at the pretty paper lol

Here is part 2

This rack is from goodwill

a friend of mine RAK it to me

It's really nice of her!

It sits some of my favourite collections 

Beside it sits the container that house all my thickers

and alpha stickers

Love it :) 

And the class starts coming monday.

It's about mixing the pattern papers

and all the fun stuff.

I can't wait :)

Join in if you can :)

Thanks for stopping by today :)

A layout with some ideas to share :)

Recently,

one of the LSS has a moving out sales of 60%

I thought of getting a little into the mixed media section of art

hence I bought a few (or a lot) bottles of mist

and some templates/stencils

Here is how I make my mist swatch 

So that i keep an account of what colours i have

and it's easy to bring out , so that i dont buy duplicates

I punched some 1.5" circles from the white cardstock

I misted each circle with my new mist

punch a hole throught them using the cropadile

Label them with the brand and colour

secure them together using binding rings

easy :)

And here is a look of what's like 

experimenting in progress!

I made some background using the stencils

and some journaling cards too!

(inspired by the Technique Tuesday journaling cards)

Also trying out Project Life recently

Love them!

I also have a layout to share :)

It is for the challenge over at CSI 

Case file #36

The last case I 'handled' was 15! 

So long ago!

Anyway, I really do love the monochromatic colour pallet here

Here is my process :)

Used the hexagon stencil,

sprayed a few times with some glimmer mist

and splatter some glimmer glam over

I used the coordinates this time!

So fun to print and cut out the images myself

Love these autumn leaves

Chose a pattern paper from MME 

Paste the photos and layer over some journaling cards

Love the speech bubble!

Decided to make a paper garland using the die cut pieces

(inspired by this project from two peas in a bucket quite sometime ago)

So I punched a hole thru all the pieces

and also my starbucks holer

And thread a bakers twine through the hole and arrange them

Here is how it looks like all thread up

secure the both ends using Tim Holtz tiny attacher

Add title using the Jillibean soup alpha stickers!

Love the font

Journaling added 

and it's call done :D

Thanks for stopping by and 

till then :)

*P.s. Be sure to check back my blog next week

[ #4 Piradee's' Challenge ] - Turning 21st :D

Ok, I shall call this an official start to do 12x12 LO :D

Decided to take part in the MWL scrap challenge

Here is what i have :)

I kind of like how it turns out .

Shall try to describe how i made this.

First, i took some paper from prima paper stack - melody

and cut out the beautiful branches and flowers.

Unlike others , i kind of enjoy detailed cutting

(though i'm not perfect at it)

Cos it's when i dun need to think about what i'm doing

and let my brain rest for awhile . hehe

Nice branches

Then i take more papers and cut the birdcage

and some strips of paper

Then , i Stamp butterflies onto acetate using stazon ink

and cut them out.

Using distress inks to ink the sides

Spraying the tags with some glimmer mist

Use transparent pop up glue dots to pop it up on my LO. Love the shadow effect :D

I assemble the photos onto the cardstock such that

i create a pocket for me to insert tags for journalling :)

And tee dAAA!

I'm satisfied with this :P
