Pumpkins Patch...

Hello everyone...

October 31st is here again.. The month of October is always my favorite months of the year. Was it the candy? Nope. Was it the photo at pumpkin patch? Yes.. yes... yes...  

Here's the pumpkin patch layout I wanted to share with you. I used layered of overlay from Fancy Pants and Little Yellow Bicycle (older collections).

And again using Martha Stewart spider web punch and teared it, splashed wild plum adirondack alcohol ink on top of transparency to make it spook-tacular


Have a BOO-tiful day everyone!!!

It's Summer day!

Hello there,
I'm thrilled to finally get this book in my hand today. I still haven't had a chance to digest all but I browse over and found out familiar name here :) Love everything from the cover, with more than 500 layouts all pile in one book, I really recommend this book either for your inspiration or a gift.

I'm saving this for upcoming 23 long hours flight to Singapore...

I thought today is officially Summer Day, I wanted to share this one of my favorite layout published in that magazine :)

close up cut out...

I love scrappy supplies that how easily came together. Fancy Pants is no exception. I used that cut out as my background and I layered it with photos, ribbons, butterfly punches, hand cut paper, buttons, jewels, chipboard and glitter rub ons.

Another layout to share is THIS was published on Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine online issue.

Thanks for stopping by, have a good one!

She is my girl

Happy Monday...

I know...   I know I should stop doing projects and start packing. But I really can't help it. I challenge myself  with these limited items.  I'm addicted to mask/mist and mixed media recently. I had a chance to play around in these days and I promise will share with you soon.

These are pictures of my baby Adelene. I found out these somewhere while packing my stuff away. A mix and match manufactures like K&Company (die cut swirls), American Crafts (yellow pattern), Crate Paper (cut out title), Prima Marketing (swirls, flowers, and notebook journaling), Tattered Angels (mist), Fancy Pants (rub ons), WeR Memory Keepers (stitch rub ons).

I jaz up with some glitter on this die cut cardstock.

Last but not least, have you ever heard of Pinterest? I'm so addicted now after invited by my friend Karola. It's a cool website. Members of Pinterest are by-invitation-only. I'm more than happy to send you an invitation if you interested. Just send me an email to me to get invited.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, it really means lots to me.
