Birthday Bash

Tonight, in a moment of randomness, I decided to scrap my daughter's birthday photos to make it for the Laine's tag challenge.  I was very motivated by the Pink Paislee Soiree papers I bought at a Papermarket sale.  The little signs and flags and all were just begging to be fussy cut by the cutterbee and I had to do it.

This was what happened after all that fussy cutting.  As for the cake, Ms E decided it was better she lopped off some ....!

Happy Birthday Diana

I made this card the same day I made one for Helen.  And this card was chosen for Diana because when you first know Diana, she looks all quiet and serious. But deep inside, Diana is nice like candies and she is also very brilliant.  A lot of thing can go through her mind and so this is what I made for her.

Inspire me

Sometimes, all we need is a little inspiration.

happy Birthday, Helen

In the month of May, I made a couple of birthday cards for two special ladies.  Here's one for my colleague Helen which I liked for all the chirpy and cheery stuff that reminds me of Helen.  Helen's very positive so this makes me think of her.

The paper's from DCVW, embossed with Tim Holtz Sizzix folder, on cardstock. Bird stamp from Unity, flowers from Prima and Butterflies diecut from Kaisercraft paper with Martha Stewart Punch. Alphas from My Little Shoebox.

Time in a bottle

I made this for Diana when she first expressed that she needed some butterflies.  I altered this little jar into a little glam object because it's nice to see beautiful items on your desk even as you scrap.  I filled it up with butterflies I punched from scraps I had after layouts.

I cut the tiny clocks from the kaisercraft paper and put a layer of accent on them to give them a slight gloss effect, and decoupaged one to the top of the jar lid..  I also glammed up the butterfly by using my favourite stickles on them.  Then I twisted a tiny piece of green patterned paper into vines and turned some red into tiny red roses to match the red plummage attached to the time piece.

Materials are all Kaisercraft papers.

Whale Done!

These few weeks, I have been packing up my study to make more space for myself and my kids. Finally, the room is more or less in order, with a space for me to scrap, to sew, and for my kids to craft.

So here's something to congratulate myself. And maybe once a while, you need to pat yourself on the back too.

Dream and soar

Today is my niece Giselle's birthday and I was reminded of  a photo that I took at baby Charis' first birthday. We had lots of balloons and both Elpis and Giselle took a photo together. I had an empty box that held a mini diary I own, and I could not resist altering it into this.

I did not have any Prima flowers on hand when I made this, so I had to handmake my own roses from the remainder paper. I use some Kaisercraft Timeless paper on this, and used the scraps to make the roses and leaves, punch the butterflies; oh and that little mini clockface in the bottom corner? yes that's from scraps too.



 Close up so you can see it's really from scrap Timeless paper. And yes the twirlies too. I had to Helmar 450 everything down. My best friend!
