Having fun with Maya Road

Hi Guys,

Sharing some Maya Road projects that was up on the Maya Road DT blog earlier in the week. I created these layouts for the recent CHA show and went absolutely crazy with all things kraft! For details on the various products used, please see my post HERE...



In addition also had some fun with the chipboard elements and also maya mists. Loving these bright metallic colors... and keep a look out at your LSS for those new butterfly clips.





And sharing another layout with even more krafty goodies! Had a fun time creating that shipping tag border and also would be a fun way to include some journaling too...



And the new trinket pin designs coming soon (love that turquoise star)...







Thanks everyone for stopping by and do check out my blog post HERE.
PS. The Little Yellow Bicycle giveaway is still open, if you haven't already entered. :)

Guesting for Little Yellow Bicycle & Giveaway! *CLOSED*

So excited to share that I'm guesting for Little Yellow Bicycle this month and got a chance to work with their gorgeous "Just Because" collection. I just adore the combination of colors in this collection - from the navy blue to the mix of pink, purple and turquoise. Also how can you not love the amount and variations of embellishments that you can find in Little Yellow Bicycle collections... love love love!

Sharing here few close ups of the layout that I created based on this sketch challenge this month. Full details HERE along with the sketch used. Hope you guys join on the fun and can't wait to see your take on the sketch!



Don't you love love the different elements in this collection and also the touches of silver here and there! And as you can tell, I went absolutely silver crazy on this layout and even added in silver sequins!  LOL



And thought I would share some "Just Because" goodies with a lucky reader here (as the Little Yellow Bicycle folks were very generous and this is one huge collection).  I'm giving away the remaining embellishments and a new 6x6 paper pad (will also be including the used sticker sheets - had forgotten to include them in the pictures).  Although these might not be brand new/full packs) but there's still quiet a lot of yummy goodies left...

If you're interested, just leave me a comment on this post by midnight Friday Feb 8th and will announce the winner over the weekend (open to all).



Thanks everyone for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the Little Yellow Bicycle blog for more inspirations!

More CSI Special Agent Projects

Hello Everyone Hello February!

Sharing a few more projects that I did for CSI (Color Stories Inspiration) this past month. The first one here is for their Case File No. 55 (full details of the challenge HERE).  I loved the earth tone colors in this one and it really challenged me to search through my stash for the right colors. Mixing in a bit of American Crafts, Pebbles, MME and Studio Calico.





And absolutely loving those alphabet stickers from Amy Tangerine collection - not only are they just the right size but love love that transparency look! Hoping that there'll be more of these coming out in the new collections...



And listing out the 6 reasons why we love it here...



And here's another fun layout I created for Case File No. 56 challenge (full details of challenge HERE), using a mix of products from American Crafts, Basic Grey, Echo Park, Pebbles, Maya Road and Crate Paper. The design of this layout was inspired by the case file photo and wanted to document some we had on our recent trip to Vietnam. As you can see from hubby's reaction when he tried a local delight (betel chew) - it was a little more than what he could handle. LOL









Thanks everyone for stopping and hope you guys have a great weekend!!

Exciting News & Project Life :: Weeks 1 & 2

I'm super excited to be part of the Crate Paper family again this year and will be joining the project life team along with 3 other amazing ladies. Hope you guys come and visit us every Friday for a little PL inspiration.

And sharing my PL for week 1 & 2 here.. (don't forget to also stop by my post on the Crate Paper blog HERE for more details and close ups)

For the cover - I kept things simple and used a hambly print to highlight 2013 along with the super cute wood cut from freckled fawn. Definitely Hello 2013!



Also put together my first set of cards using photoshop (finally learning how to use it and having tons of fun loading various free fonts from the web). For the grid cards, I purchased a digital kit from Three Paper Peonies HERE (Everyday Collection) and added my own text and/or various brushes that I found or purchased.



And used the sweet Fourteen Collection from Crate Paper on a few of the cards. Just love the combination or colors and adding in a bit of gold here and there... just I'm in a "gold" crazy phase!

Week 1:

• Celebrating New Year!
• Creating/Putting together my own PL cards (slowly giving digital scrapbook a try)
• Discovered caramel lava cake (there's no turning back now)
• Brushing up on my cooking skills; don't think I cooked at all last year
• Checking out MAAD

One of things that I'm planning to do for each week is have a status check on where I am on my resolutions - got to loose those kgs and also need to control my scrapbook spending (last year was really out of hand and ended up buying a lot of things that I didn't use).  By the way, if anyone (in Singapore) is interested in my grab bags again, please drop me an email as putting some together at the moment.





And for week 2, I used the same set of papers along with some glitter paper from american crafts (been hoarding these for a long while now and love how it looks on the spread); glitter and gold :)

Week 2:

• Stocking up on sequins in Chinatown (@ Golden Dragon Store)
• Yummy stamps that I bought from SSS finally arrived (love these)
• Got to meet Helen and her family and also having some chilli crab
• Finally decided on which typewriters to keep and rehome (shocked at how many I have)
• Having some "Me" time, honestly don't remember when was the last time I got my nails done here

Thanks everyone for stopping and do check out my post HERE on the crate paper blog. Would love to hear what your thoughts are and especially if you prefer pictures taken page by page or as a spread (like the last one here).

Webster's Pages Love

And another favorite of mine are these amazing collections from Webster's Pages. I just love what Brandin & Allison have put together. How fun are these color combinations and design... yay I spy typewriters and cameras!!  Can't wait to get these and start cutting into them... already got tons of ideas for those cute pockets/bags!





And these gorgeous collections - oh my look at those trims. Absolutely divine!





So which ones are you guys getting? ALL right?  *wink*

Crate Paper Love

I don't know about you, but I'm drooling all over the new gorgeous Crate Paper collections for this CHA-W 2013. Seriously, the collections are absolutely amazing and love love the collection that Maggie has put together.  There's total of 3 new collections being released and could resist sharing these here... (before I disappear to play with some Crate Paper goodies)
