Prima Mini album

This is the full mini album I submmited for Prima's Frugal Scrapper. See my album featured here. I use the flower packaging as the backing for each page of the album. For the cover, (that's my fav)... I use a plastic cover (from Prima flower packing). I mist it with Staz-on white... added blings, flowers. For the title, I use the backing of the Prima Felt alphas... I added glossy accent and pour lots of glitter. There I have my own alphas. Cover: Close up of the alphas:
I like the girly romantic feel of this album... lots of lace (which is my signature fav).

A good day!

Well Thurs morning, we took everyone out for a visit to Marina Barrage.... this is new... much like a conservation of water and environment. I am very impressed with our govt. Such a small city but such great details to make our city a live-able place. With so much greenry planned in as well. Here are some shots of our beautiful day:
You can get a very clear view of the flyer here. Love this shot of Charis... full of energy and life!
And of course, my Graphic 45 win came in the mail today. I am SUPER impressed.
Why? Cos usually internationals wait VERY long to get their prize........... this time, I think it was only a few days. I have experienced waiting for months (which I am ok) and some didn't reach me at all..... no point pursuing! LOL!
I am also SUPER impressed with the personal touch as well.
In this package is a handwritten note by the owners. I am "old school" ........ I enjoy such simple yet touching gestures.
How cool is that?
Thanks Graphic 45. A BIG SHOUT of THANKS!
See these gorgeous papers. They are fresh from the oven. Extra special..... hee..hee.... I think this has just begin to ship......... my LSS has not gotten them yet!
Absolutely divine papers! I got many ideas swimming in my mind now! Cant wait to play with them next week.

I love this

This is my 3rd LO for YSS........Part of my DT work.
I love this LO because I returned back to my preferred style..... shabby chic..... playing with paints, stamps.... yes... I 'abused' the MM Die cut paper alot... dry brush with white paint... spy with Maya Mist.... stamp over.... crumbled it a bit....
Here is it:
"Tougher"........ I love the stamp words I did with my really really cute mini stamps from Hampton. LSS selling for $2.50...... how affordable can it be?
I added this Riff Raff tree....... I have been keeping this tree....... now it's the time to use it. I dry brush with white paint... ink the sides... added with word stamps... yay... I love this tree!
Part of the journaling:
Going thru tough times does not mean you are defeated. You will soon realise you are tougher than you think. It is an opportunity for growth.

Projects for YSS

YSS sent me these lovely collection of Making Memories Flower Patch to work with. I love it! Here they are: 1) Project - Altered Art I made this hanging frame for Charis - her schedule are all there... easy to see and she loves the colours. First I cut chipboard to 3x5" and covered them with MM Flower Patch papers. Then I use my Cropadile and punch holes at the top and bottom. Then I embellish. I use stamps to do her schedule like doing homework.... reading.. etc... Well she leaves for school at 630am and comes home at 2pm. So this is for her at home. And because she is such a routine and schedule kind of girl. She loves it! These lovely papers has lots of flowers and butterflies motifs. I love cutting them out! This chipboard bird comes from Maya Road. I added the swirls and Prima flowers. I spray Maya Mist on the flowers.... love love the colours! 2) Sporty I like that this polka dot paper match her pants.... hee..hee.. and I made this little racket using the MM packaging (from the felt alphas)........ added stitching! Voila... you get a racket. 3) Sister Inc I got this title from "Monsters Inc"........ and I want to record their goofy similar personality. And this time, they really act it up for the camera. Just had to document these moments. I cut all these rabbits from the flocked papers. I love flocked texture. And please drop by YSS: 1) There is a Basic Grey contest going on. Upload any BG LO and you can win some new stuff. 2) Guest Designer spot...... yes.. we are spying for the April GDT. Just load your art to the Guest designer gallery and Erica will pick from there! You may be the lucky one to play with some products.
