This week, I decide to try a new color scheme which i saw in a Home Decor Magazine A raspberry red and teal.......... and a little yellow and browns I love how cheerful and bright this combo is.

First post of the year

Hello friends, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! Wishing you joy in all you do! Here's my DT assignment for The Scrappiest. We are reaching Sketch 100 soon. This is sketch 97.........HERE. Using a truck load of Wesbters! LOL Do you keep little pieces of scraps.... i do and I have bags of them, esp Websters! Cos I cannot bare to throw them away! Party Girl Well, here's a happy gal who loves parties. She can't stop gushing about the goodie bag, the cakes, the candies and the party hat!!! Some techniques: If you have little pieces of scraps, use them over one another (layering) and it made it seems larger than it is. If you have Christmas papers, take out your white paints.... dab some over the words or too Christmasy motifs and Voila! you got yourself a 'new' piece of paper. If you have some scraps with flowers, cut them out and layer them. In this layout, I have MANY 'holes"....meaning imperfect pieces of papers but I use cut outs to cover them and layer over!!! I post my 2010 favorite in a page. >HERE.

Favorite of 2010 - Part 1

A year has passed.... memories edged in our hearts........ beautiful moments captured! This has been a great year! I am thankful for the journey...... the new experiences...... new skills picked up(photoshop, lol)..... I am learning to be confident in my style of scrapping.... Textures, layering, distressing.... colors.... There is a sense of romanticism mixed with whimiscal softness to most of my layouts! Ok, so what style do you call mine? LOL Here's a review of some of my favorite works for 2010: Beam : New Technique I learnt.... gesso a plain CS and then play with diluted paints to create your own background. Sweetheart: I love the bright vibrant colors on this page Bond: My signature style of textures, layering and distressing! All so me! Look up: A new way of playing with die cut paper. Tilt it for a change! How fun! Favorite things: Colors, colors and spray inks!!! All up my alley! Tag: a fun way to create a cute border. Dressform: I love the bodice MOST. Creating with Websters Ruffle Trim. So Hollywood, so glam! I like Ok, that's all for now! It is hard picking my favorites! I realise telling the STORY is important for me! The journaling, the photo... scrapping is NOT about major 'decoration' only! It is about capturing the stories for my family!

Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Presents.........

Hi friends, how was your Christmas! 2 days before Christmas, I fell sick....... really bad flu bug and I had to lie in bed for 2 days. What a bummer!!! By Christmas Day, I was much better and so thankful I can sit up and spend time with family and friends. Here's a project I did with my children: Wrapping presents for their favorite church pastors and teachers. I used some older collection of Websters and decorate these brown lunch bags. I used a Vellum here and I really love the sentiments on this paper. And this cutie... my girl made this for her favorite pastor. What a cute deer! And this one for a special lady. Layering vellum with paper! Simple and sweet wrappings! We put a OPI Nail Polish in each of these bags! Hope you had a great holiday season! See you in 2011. Happy New Year to you!
