Scrap This n That Challenge #11

This is my layout created to join the Made With Love (MWL) "Scrap This n That Challenge #11", hosted by Carol. The criteria:

~ Use 5 or more photos on 12x12 layout. The photos can be of any size, any orientation, any subject.

Here's my layout that I have uploaded @MWL gallery:

For the background, I used Amy Tangerine’s Sketchbook Saffron Study pattern paper:

This collection of PP is very beautiful and cheery, just by looking at them made my heart smiles! I have been using Instagram to snap daily pictures and I like to put in as many pictures as possible into a layout to tell a little story. Hence, this challenge is good for me - I used 6 instagram photo taken at Woodlands Waterfront.

A few loves:

1)Used the Magenta Musings PP to die cut a rosette (added a little bit of MWL orange washi tape to it to match the background paper color) and overlapped one of the flower which was pre-printed on the PP. Then I gently splattered distress stain as leaves.

2)Used the Carmine Collage PP to die cut a tag and stamped on it using Technique Tuesday/Ali Edwards ‘Kids are Cool’ stamp – ‘Go Out and Play’.

3)Used distress stains on Studio Calico Huey’s mask Chevron.

Looking at the completed layout made me satisfied and happy :) Does it look good to you too ? :)

That's for now. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Thank You tag

This is my first time dressing up a tag. I have been working on layouts, a couple of cards and altered items. This round, I thought to do a thank you tag to give to someone in return of her generosity to share.

I have no exact idea how am I going to decorate it, except to use the word 'Thank You' and to incorporate washi tapes, erm...my recent product craze, lol.

As I progress, I refer to my available stocks and gradually added embellishments and mediums (distress stickles/crackle paint/stain).

To tie the tag, I used colourful bakers twines and pleated them. Voila! I am done and I am happy with the result - cheery & colourful!  

Finally, my boy and I went to the bookshop to get it mail off. I hope it brings a pleasant little surprise to the recipient and she will like it.

Thank you for visiting and have a blessed day.

Photo-A-Day >> March 2012

This is my third month's attempt on PAD project. In fact, as the project is named, it is meant to be one photo per day. Nonetheless, for me, I have more than a photo for some of the days, as these days were more eventful. Conclusion: I have more than 31 photos per month and for March Part 2, I could feel the weight of the LO when I first lifted it up when it was completed, Lol :)

For this month, I used washi tapes and paper clips as my decoration. I embedded washi under the word 'March'. For the grid, instead of using twines (for Jan & Feb PAD), I used tapes too, and the rest were as shown.

My collection of washi tapes shot up from a small box to 2 Daiso boxes. Guessed I was kinda inspired by Pooi's vast love of washi. Also, I was blessed to receive 4 rolls of washi and a tag from Pooi's RAK giveaway and I used it for my project. Thanks Pooi :)

This is Part 1 of the PAD, March 1-14:

This is Part 2, March 15-31:

Pooi's RAK giveaway:

Here's sharing what I was reminded this morning. And I had casted one area of concerns to my DaddyGod for Him to take care of it. I know that all will be well in His hands:

Lastly, sharing a pic of beautiful sky scenery here. Clouds@Sky on 3 Apr 2012, 6pm:

Thank you and have a blessed day ahead.

My Alpha Post

Hi, Thanks for dropping by!

Finally I got myself a blog to tell my scraps & stuff.

First of all, one of my favourite song 'Blessed Assurance' lyrics inspired the blog header:

<Blessed Assurance>

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of His Spirit, washed in his blood. 

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 

Thank God for this inspiration and I love my DaddyGod!
God is good, all the time :)

This is my layout created to join the Made With Love (MWL) "Scrap This n That Challenge #10", hosted by Genevive. The criteria:

~ To create a 12x12 layout using at least 80% of the supplies from ONE brand. (Remember it doesnt have to be NEW. It doesn't have to come from the same collection.)

Here's my layout that I have uploaded today @MWL gallery:

I used Fancy Pants Designs pattern papers: (1)Be You (2)Childish Things.

Of which, I have done 2 rosettes from Sizzix die. The non same-brand items are:

- white cardstock

- twine/thin rope

- buttons

- distress inks

Some close-ups:

*Raised up a few cut-out then distressed stars

*Used the 'Childish Things' from the pattern paper's barcode/product detail stripes

*This little boy always has creative ideas to play along. This round, he inserted a toy alligator into his cap and wore it along when we went to pick his brother. Here's a closer look:

That's for now. Thank you and have a blessed day.
