BPC Process Class challenge - Slides

I swear I haven been up to date in sharing my layouts with you all. Sometimes maybe we procrastinate so much. Especially so when the item hits #1 in your to-do list, you will dread to do it. I use Evernote to organise all my to-dos, but I usually don't finish them in the order of importance, usually it ends up as doing them in the order that I feel is convenient , or those that I want to do get done first. Sometimes, it gets funnier. I have a to-do list, but I do other things , and when it get done, I type them into the to do list just so that I can check them off happily. Does it happen to you? Do share :)

Anyhow, here is another layout I meant to share with you guys for quite sometime. It was done during the period of them when I scrap a bunch of mixed media style pages, just because I have my mediums out and convenient to reach for :)

This layout is an assignment for the class Process by Big Picture Classes with Catherine Davis. Catherine is such a wonderful designer, love her style that is always so timeless and artistic. This challenge is to use slider frame. Catherine has hers cut out using Silhouette machine. I have meant to do this layout for a long time too , but I was lazy to pull out my silhouette. A few months later, I bought a boardgame that has sheets of punched out chipboard cubes. After punching out all of those game pieces, I realise the remaining can be used on a scrapbook page or some alter art. Hence I saved them in my scrap room. A few months later, I revisited the classroom and the idea struck me, that I can use this chipboard negative to create layout for this challenge :)

I gesso over the entire chipboard so it becomes smooth and sturdier and opaque white. 

I limit the layout to just 3 colors, white black and gold. It's simple and I love how it turns out!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm looking into creating an editorial calender so that I become more consistent with my posting :) Well, and we all know that this "to-do-task" cannot be #1 on my to-do list or it will never get done! Haha! 

Till next time :) Ciao!

Ok, i'm officially crazy over the chevron stamp

Now trying them on a sheet of 12x12 kraft cardstock

a more muted tone, but i still love how it looks like :)

A close up

You see, I love twines, 

they are great to add a little touch to every project you're doing

doesnt add bulk, but it does change alot

imagine the layout without the twines

missing a whole lot!

______________________________________________

trying a little something different and simple

using my new ek- success cheese punch

to do some decoration with confetti

Another way to use the fabric is to layer it under the photo

fold it a little, make it looks like a section of a curtain on the window

___________________________________________________

Love this layout

I used this awesome maya roads words stamp 

love the font

some close ups

i did some misting too :)

haha not forgetting the chevron

I was thinking what can i do with this bright pink die cut paper

and i thought i muted it down alittle 

using some studio calico white mist

more flowers

Wow, that's alot of layouts from one kit

that's how fun a kit can be.

you can make your own kit and scrap lots of photos at once

or buy a kit from various kit clubs like studio calico and many others

I love studio calico's kit so far 

and there are more to discover too :)

If you haven try a kit, give it a try 

it might not be for everyone

but it can be really fun and therapeutic 

sitting down with everything and not having to worry of what to match :)

Because they all matches!

5 layouts to share

Finally had a chance to do some scrapbooking with the studio calico kits!

This month I'm playing with the Elmwood Park kit

with add on kits 3 and 4

So far I only manage to find time for 5 layouts. 

And all of the layouts are inspired by a free class or event 

at Big Picture Classes

It's call the Big Idea Festival that runs for the past 14 days

The first layout 

I scraplifted this layout by Marcy Penner

Love the yellow font

You will be seeing lots of colourful arrows?

in my layouts! Love this paper from Echo Park

Arent they just cute?

________________________________________________

The second layout is called Dream Big

got these 2 black and white photo from some 3 4 years ago

when i was at NUS open house

thinking about my future and my ambition

using black and white photos is great 

because you dont have to worry about the colours of the papers

clashing with that in the photos

________________________________________________

The third is called Dolphin Cruise 

The challenge is to use a large photo!

I have always been inspired by lots of scrapbooker outside

who scrap large beautiful photos

Always wanted to give it a try

I love this photograph taken at Port Adelaide

Love the blues and the shine in the water

I printed it on an A4 sized photo paper

One good thing is that, 

about 60% of the layout is alrd covered!

love this pie chart stamp in one of the add on kit

I have been using them alot recently

I stamped them with the Hero Arts shadow ink 

can cut them out individually

I cut alot and keep them in a small zip lock bag

that way i can use them anytime I want to 

I also use these beautiful pie charts to create some 

awesome cards here

Just love how they look so nice on any backgroud

Love the little birdies

and that they are in different sizes

like a few small birdies following their mummy? 

cute huh!

And first time playing with these october afternoon flags

You can also cut your own paper and wrap around a toothpick

And here i tried to create a rainbow effect

Buttons are great to draw a diagonal line across the page

so that everything is drawn together

And that's all for now :)
