Here's my layout for the challange which I won ! Thank you Felicia so much for the RAK.




Close up of the layering under the butterfly.

It's a new month and it's time for Ed's Sketch. Here is this month's sketch.



"Ter" - that is what Riley calls the hamster. He love looking at the hamster and feeding it. If he had his way, he will be playing with with it all the time.


I cut out some of the squares from the Basic Grey paper and used them for layering.

This is for teh previous USe Your Stash Challenge at Goovie Cafe. - to use up your stash with words and alphas to create your layout / project.

I love this picture of R and his Daddy trying out scrapbooking some time ago. It so nice to see them try something new together.






Close up of the heart which I layered with a cut-out hambly and a butterfly die cut.

I know I'm late but here's my layout for Ed's Sketch this month. It's one of my rare 2 page layout.






Using my new butterfly punch.


Can you spot the rub-ons ?


Here I used the new lattice border punch at dh bought for me. Yes I received a few present last month.

Here I am trying to clear off the dust that has collected all over my home and even my blog. We had a great time with the cool winter weather down in Perth. A big change from the scorching summer heat here in Singapore.

I'm off to complete all my assignments for this month. Leaving you with just a few of our holiday photos:


Nothing like running in the park at sunset.


My boys looking for the farm animals.


The beautiful tree lined paths.


Wild flowers at the dam.

More DT work for YSS to share. I promise it's almost the last post for today.


A name banner for the boy who has been nagging me to make one for him for the longest time. Nothing like a nice banner as a reward for working hard for his exams.





Lots of Pink Paislee plum colored glitter and SassaFrasLass papers.


Two thanks you cards for Grandma who requested for some to be made for her.

Bear with me as I'm in a rush to update all my scrapbook pages. I've got lots of things in my to do list and so little time to complete them.

Someone really loves this ride at the Zoo's newest playground. He had so much fun ridding it up and down. Good thing no one else was waiting for the ride so he had the whole place to himself.



Patches of happy green mist on the paper and happy colors from SassFrassLass papers. If you need a tutorial on using the Mist, hop over to today's YSS post to catch my tutorial.


I love using those cool edges from the bottom of the SFL papers.

What is there not to love about that cute little face ! Of course he drives me up the wall with his antics all the time but I still love him to bits.

I wonder why the photo looks so over exposed. It looks great in Picasa but always seem weird once I upload it. Any ideas ?



I cut the edges off the spinner card from Cosmo Cricket as I wanted it to be a circle instead of a square. Added stickles to the arrow for some glitter.


That little monkey with a parachut was so cute so I decide to cut one out for the page.

I've been really busy the last few weeks with R1's exams and DH away for his work but finally I've got my DT work done. Here's my latest work for Your Scrapbook Stash.



Lots of SassFrassLas and Maya Road


I went crazy with all my mist and used them on all these chipboards.


Have you noticed the piece cut with the latest EK Success edge punch ? DH bought it as a surprise for me during his trip. I'm so touched :)

A blue toned page for Groovie Cafe's use you stash challenge.





I wrote the word "Your" with my Ranger Liquid pearl. The ribbon was dyed blue with my blue glimmer mist.

Another album inspired by Ali Edwards's felt Valentine's mini album. Similar to the previous one but this one's for Ryan to his daddy.

All Pink Paislee stickers and papers and Elle Studio tags are from YSS.


This time I used an orange felt - Ryan's fav colour.
( click here to see the rest of the album )

Here's an album done during the hush hush tutorial by Wati at Scrappin Kids forum. The whole base of the album is done using only 1 piece of cardstock. I've used the papers from Far Flung Craft together with the Kiaser rub-ons throughout the entire album. I'm using the pictures we took at the zoo not too long ago. I picked mostly R1's pictures as I wanted to give this to him. A little stress reliever for him as he studies for his coming exams.
