YSS projects

Completed some projects for YSS. Here they are: Hanging door frame: Ballerina My little missy is going thru a 'ballerina' phrase. She is twirling, swirling and wants to be a ballerina. I am not buying that tutu yet! but well, I made a little one for her using tulle on this frame. I cut the frame from Webster Pages "postcard from Paris". Added a tulle flower and pink tulle. And the inspiration for this comes from this book ....... a giant pop up story book. LO: Scent Here's a simple one. Took photo of my fav perfume, Estee Lauder Pleasures. Just had to document the everyday life.. stuff I use. See I took the picture with lots of Prima flowers... hee..hee.. since this perfume is has a floral scent. For the letters, if you have white glitter alphas... you can alter the colours. I just drip over diluted paint.. very watered down. And I got a blue tint over it. nice! LO: Bliss To celebrate our 13 years of marriage next month, scrap this to document the beautiful memories we share. This blue-ish background paper is from Webster Pages. I love this piece. Soothing, romantic! And since I am entering this for challenge, I kep to all white stuff....... the fabric, the lace and that cute Making Memories paper(which house journaling).

I played with German Glass.... gorgeous glitter!

This white paper comes from Making Memories. dont you just love the swirls?

I stamped a music note (Purple Onion) on fabric and then misted it.

This white mat where my photo rest: it is Ki memories heart lace cardstock over normal Cardstock. Then I painted over it. Cos that heart thingy was pink. You can alter your own too!

Prima Pickings

These gorgeous Prima are sooooooo divine! Check out their blog. I love Prima for their Pearl products....... pearl centres, pearl swirls.... oh.. so gorgeous. Great accent to any page. I have been teaching with these Prima products too! See my Magical Wishes class. Hooray... next year.. we shall have Magical Wishes 3, 4.... 5... and more! LOL

OLW - Gratitude

Word up at OLW - Gratitude. This word has huge meaning for me. Mostly important, i want to document who taught me this value. Gratitude Journaling: I will always remember the Chinese proverbs "Yin Shui Shi Yuan" (I can't type out the chinese font here). Grandmom taught me about gratitude through this very impartful phrase. It means whenever you drink water, you must remember the source(spring). This teaching and value stayed with me thru life. I learnt to appreciate the ones who has blessed my life. I've learnt to give back to others, those who are in need. I've learnt to say thank you. I've learnt to always let gratitude fill my heart, whenever things dont turn out as I want. And when I looked at my life now, I am grateful for 2nd chances, grateful for those who encouraged me, those who saw potential in me. I remembered the soulful voice of grandmom, her deep winkles yet a face full of grace and love. She may not have the best of life but she learnt to be grateful. This value will stay with me & I will impact it to my children. All using Webster Pages "Nature's storybook", provided by YSS. I cut the tree and well from a sheet of PP "Wishes Come True"(Webster Pages). I use the tree as a mask first by spraying some glimmer mist. I like having the well there... cos it ties in with my story (remember the water source)... hee..hee...

bug bug go away!

I haven't been feeling well for the last 4 days and it is killing me. As you know, my kids battle the flu bug for 2 weeks or so and now they passed it to me. I hate it when it goes around like that. I need to sleep but couldn't sleep well because of the blocked nose. And this is getting scary for me cos it reminded me of my pnemonia saga that happened this year...... hospital stay.... breathing equipment........ I really need to stay healthy! Anyone, here's 1 LO I did......... I just had to scrap..... I know... you must be thinking "I am crazy"... but sometimes, it beats lying down and getting depressed! LOL. LO: Growing

Journaling: My dear, you are growing up so fast. Sometimes, i wish time will slow down. I still remember holding your little hands, walking together. Now you can take walks on your own... I am learning to let go... learning to cheer you by the sides.... my heart strings still tucking.... wishing to pull you back... I know God will take care of you!

I am a little reflective today so i journal my thoughts for my girl. Growing up so fast I can hardly remember little details of her life.

All materials provided for by YSS.
