Crate Paper Mini

See my 'random' mini.... this mini is about the everyday words that take place at home. We have a certain routine... we kinda of say the same things everyday to ourselves or each other. It's rather funny but worth capturing. This is unique in every household and I think I should record it - my EVERYDAY words around the house mini!

To construct the pages - i gather many unlikely pieces - chipboard, corrugated board, cardstock, pattern papers, and even the CP embellishment packaging backing.... oh my fave has to be the peice of canvas I found hanging around my sewing machine.

page 1 - morning - it is rather the same 'wake up' call from hubby! He text me so I would jump from my bed - I am addictive to my iphone - he knows the trick!!! haha... then I wake up to coffee everyday. Love the smell in the home!

page 2- little ms piggy climbs out of bed - "milk please' - her immediate words - still hugging her pillow - then the slow morning crawl along - she picks up speed - goes into her play mode - this is where the same plea everyday in the home - "Can somebody play with me?" page 3- afternoon comes - my elder girl comes home from school - this is when I am at work - she usually does her homework like this - but somewhere in the late afternoon - she text me "When are you coming home?" - cute girl - she does this EVERYDAY

page 4 - evening - dad comes home - time to play - couch time - talk talk talk - play play play - we love to gather in the living room

page 5 - little one winds down with books - "can you read me a story" - her fave excuse to cuddle and snuggle up to me - we bond - we connect

Ok, that's all - I still have more pages to show - next time !

Once a upon a sketch

Do you like sketches? I love them for its endless possibilities. There is always something fun with different personalities and their interpretation. I love the variety on this sketch site.

Once upon a sketch ... check them out every 1st and 15th of the month.

Really cool inspiration. HERE

Anyway, this month sketch is really straight forward but I love to add some layers to make it MINE! LOL

let me share with you some techniques or my fave touches:

1. See this yellow frame... a TA chipboard. I rub some Distress Stain on it, rub some gesso and then add some Mica Flakes for added textures 2. I hand cut many many motifs from this set of Websters Pages. It's been a long while since I played with WP 3. On the background cardstock, I spray two different colours. Then I stamped with a script stamp. Hmm... or was it the other way ? Stamp or mist first? LOL 4. I stuck some cut outs on pop up glue dots to give it dimension. Hope you find this fun and inspirational.

some Prima love + RAK

Hi friends, what inspires you? Would love to hear your inspiration.

For me, nothing beats new products. When I saw these Prima shabby chic Resin Treasures, I knew I wanted them all. I love to dream of possibilities with them. For this layout, I used the 'windows' Resin, I dab some Distress Stains over it and then apply some glaze over. I love how 'golden' it looks.

Next up, I love a good color challenge. This month, Prima PPP colors are so 'autumn", browns, shades of neutral ........ yums!!! Just love it. Here's my interpretation. I love this photo of my lil sister. She is not lil anymore. She is a mother. I am so proud of her.

And finally as promised last month, I am givnig a RAK... yes.. these brand new Prima flowers and a BG stamp. Leave me a comment and I need recommendations from you. I like to know which site or who can design my blog header and background for me. I like to customize mine. Can you point me in the right direction by leaving me a link or contact? And you will be entitled to the draw for this RAK. Close this Friday, 23 Sept. thanks Have a wonderful week!

some Crate Paper Love

Did I post this before. I used the new Crate Paper Farmhouse to make this cute layout of my girl. She is loving writing, coloring and anything "homework".... I hope this serious learner remains like that when we start Primary school in 2 years time. haha. I love the deep reds and yellows of this collection of Crate... i like the vintage image... oh.. so cute!

I had a busy week and hope to rest and scrap more this week. :)

Here is a little 8x8 frame I did for my sister. Her adorable girl.

I used Prima Pixie 8x8 paper pad. Really beautiful papers.

if you like these papers but dont want to buy the entire pad, I am looking for someone to share with me.

See HERE.

Once a upon a sketch

Oooo.... you have to check out this site "Once a upon a sketch"... it combines a sketch and a journal prompt. I love such meaningful and inspiring site. it is set up by the super talented Nadia Cannizzo. this is my interpretation of it... I rotate the sketch and added mists and layered lots of my fave paper from Melissa Frances.

This song "Stubborn Love" is about God's relentless love for me. I love it. I cry when I sing it cos it has such beautiful depth to it.

Enjoy your week ahead.

CCG 205

This week is another week of gorgeous inspiration from CCG. >> HERE.

I screamed with delight when I first saw these colors. YOu have to try it

I went artsy this time. I love the whole look of this layout. It has been a long time when i was really happy with the end result of my scrapping! LOL

I love playing with medium and mask (seen on the canvas heart)

I love playing with paints (splatters of teal paints everywhere)

I love misting (pink misting 'flying' over the page"

oh.. my new stamp (that brick wall stamp, you have to grab that from Prima)

And those cute chipboard and resistant canvas(dress form)

That's what made me happy.

How about you?

Wishing you a happy weekend ahead.
