SK Feb Challenge

Someone help me please!  How do I take a good picture in acrylic?  Sigh - this I must say would be a task for Jessy or Sasha Farina.  The both of them are very apt in photography. Apologies for my non-existent photography skills...

For the month of February - the challenge would be to scrap using an adjective about our little one.  You may also use the adjective as the title.  I thought about it for a long time and it would be difficult to narrow it down to one word but I did it anyway.

I choose to remember Clarissa here this way in one word - she has always been a sweet child.  Giving in and sharing her stuff is not difficult to her ever since she was young.  I am grateful for that and thus this is a great word to describe her.

I have also stepped out of my comfort zone to use paints and other elements onto clear acrylic sheets.  I have lots of rubons which I buy with a vengeance but never use.  Hence - this is a great way of using them and trying to cut down on my stash.  I have to admit that the bubble wrap printing is inspired by Bridget Koopsen.  

Materials used:

Clear Scraps Acrylic Sheet,  Adirondack dabbers,  Prima felt and flower,  We are Memory Keeper rubons,  trims from Hong Kong,  Alpha thickers,  Buzz and Bloom Bird chipboard.

Smiles all around at City Beach

With a view like that - who would want to leave?

Post Vacation Blues

After a week of bliss - it is hard indeed to come back home...  I do miss Perth and all its laidback and relaxing atmosphere.

Lift It at the SK forum

Apologies - been trying to upload sneak peeks since 6pm.  Its already 8.56pm.  I am afraid I will call it a night and upload when I get back from vacation.

This is another new exciting activity that SK has cooked up to make the forum more interesting.  Every month,  our designers at SK will choose a member's layout to scraplift.  We think its fun and it will be a pleasant surprise to see your layout form a different person's point of view.  Hope you can join us at the SK forum.

Happy Chinese New Year

It's that time of year again. My,  how time flies.  Chinese New Year is upon us again.  I will be away for a short week and to all my chinese friends:

Wakeboarding Album {Clarissa}

Had to be fair - made another wakeboarding album for Clarissa.  Woke up at 2.30am today - Can't sleep and scrapped this in my state of blurness.  Of course it was a big mistake cos I see so many errors and it was shoddy work but nvm - thot i just blog it.  

Materials used:

Crate pp and diecuts,  Crate paper alpha stickers,  Maya Road chipboard clip and swirl,  3d lacquer,  thin chipboard,  Adirondack dabbers,  3d pop up foam and Momoyo Brads and Ribbons.

Layout - CNY wishes {Sean}

Made this slap and dash layout for the online crop at the Brunei Scrappers Forum.  Thanks Jazz for hosting the fun online crop.  Only managed to make one layout as I was baking that night.

This layout was done pertaining to answering the following questions:

1) Make a red layout

2) Think Chinese New Year (CNY)

Hence - I have selected the following to reflect such a mood:

1) Red pp

2) Red fibers

3) CNY costume

4)  Other chinese paraphenilia like frog buttons, plastic jade looking embellishment etc...

I have also recycled a gold card to mat the photo as I am not to fussed about it being non acid free and all.
