two in a row, of mini-albums and birthdays
backlog No.3 Eugenia & Roslyn
Since it's nearly the end of July I think I'd better finish up posting all my backlogs!
I'd say March of this year was probably the most eventful scrapping month ever.
First, I finally graduated from doing single-piece projects to albums.
In fact crafting mini albums from near scratch! This post will be rather long, so I won't be typing most of my paperstock out. Most of the large letters were Thickers, and the flowers all from Prima Marketing.
My first "album" was for a friend's 18th birthday.
A blackboard with pre-made holes for rope/mounting and used as a backing and I added pages to it accordingly.
The second was also for a friend's birthday (who happened to share the previous album with me)
Though within the span of 4 days, my confidence made a hugeee jump.
An unassuming black box with a red ribbon opened up to reveal..
I secured the mini-album for easy storage, I do hope she got a pleasant surprise when she opened it! I used Stickles glitter glue to accent the inner corners and edges of the box.
Details of the front, used a pearly paper flower and a chiffon flower, both from Prima Marketing.
The papers I used in this book were all heavier cardstock and were patterned on both sides, which saved me a lot of time and helped tie everything together too.
This page was supposed to be steampunk-inspired and look a bit like a clockface. Love the metal flowers from Tim Holtz
The next two pages had themes too, sorta a gothic- rocker-girl vibe and a japanesque page inspired by Wa-Lolita fashion
I really really love the Wa-Lolita page, it was SOOOOO fun to make! I used traditional japanse Yuzen origami paper and japanese stickers, and accented them with gold and lace. The little strings of hearts were from Midori Japan.
Anyway, the last pages were a panorama, and basically shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAAYYYY.
So that concludes my March backlog! There's one more entry before I'm back on track to posting "current" projects!
Till then!

well-wishes and lots of luck
backlog No.2: the senior's graduation & prom
I was quite close to my seniors, so naturally I had to do something for them before they left.
Though they graduated last November, I started prep wayyy ahead. I scouted the few scrapbooking supply stores here for accents and embellishments that were grad-themed, but to no avail.
And this is when Amazon.com comes in reallyyyyyy handy. I found these cute cap & scroll stickers from Jolee's Boutique and ordered them straight away. When they arrived I was DELIGHTED. The tassels and bows were tied and not just glueedddd~
Even though I started early, I ended barely on time thanks to my short attention span and tendency to procrastinate (well, i did plan Prom and have an art portfolio to rush too). I was tempted to craft everything from scratch, but it was a paramount task. Thankully I found these really pretty "Class of 2010" Hallmark cards. White on the outside with a embossed effect, and eggshell blue on the inside.
foreground: a peek of one of the scroll stickers on the said cards. background: printed Prom invitations with each person's name written in gold ink, designed by me.
So what I did was use the cards as a template and personalized each card, writing my friends' names on the scrolls then adding more things to the interior.
Fangyi's: chirimen 'Doraemon' stickers, Treble clef sticker from a set (from Cat Socrates ), Jolee's Boutique graduation cap, limited edition Hello Kitty greeting card.
Beryl's: American Crafts' Thickers Letters (in Niki Riki), Prima Flowers, Lucky You Journal Lists from Colorbok, random brads and accents.
And for Beryl, I made another gift.
A semi-customized Scrump plushie!! The removable cap was sewn out of felt with a pink button, gingham tassel & a stitched heart. Photo courtesy of Facebook. :P
The last big event was Prom. I happened to land myself in the planning committee so there were a few other things I had to make.
It was "The Best Prom Ever", and the night went on quite well though there were hiccups here and there. This guestbook features BasciGrey paper, Pebbles Inc. Chips (glitter), Hambly Screenprint Stickers, and a paper tag with rainbow-colored watercolor ink distressing.
So the day came and they became graduates and alumni, and it's been half a year since then. The rest of the backlogs after this should be from 2011, so here's to all the memories =D
Cheers.

SCOTTY AND LAUREN ARE AWESOME.
and i don't even like country music.
well. although this season of AI was kinda disappointing, I must say I'm impressed with the finalists.
I really really applaud both Scotty and Lauren for openly talking about their faith (omg they're younger than me!) Most young people don't take religion seriously, especially on NATIONAL TELEVISION INFRONT OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
They both told the press that they pray together and it's a regular feature before each performance. And well, to prove that he's got stuff straight, the first person Scotty thanked was God.
they both are such sweethearts! ♥

take the stage
of song, dance, and comedy
hello there, this is my first official post.
well... I know this is supposed to be a scrapblog, but my projects are few and rather far between so most of the time it'll be photos or whatsoever is on my mind.
I will be uploading backlogged scrap projects soon, but in the meantime...
The exams just ended so the day was filled with activities, including a Film Literacy Class that covered the history and milestones in Southeast-Asian Cinema, especially in a localized context. Well, between the cool vintage 'cinematographs' and snippets of Singaporean-indie productions, we got pretty bored. I'd never EVER dare to get a real tattoo, but honestly these black ballpoint inks looked rather realistic, which is sufficiently awesome. :D
The highlight of the day by far, however, was the annual Talent Search Finals. This year had quite a wide variety of performances. There were the rock bands (Dice & C.P.) an all-girl Acapella group (Choo Choo Train), a pajama-loving quartet (the Quarterers), a solo of 'Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You' and a duet that had the whole auditorium cheering.
The more eccentric acts included a wonderfully theatrical cover from the musical Love Never Dies and a Japanese song from Final Fantasy XIII with the singer decked in full Cosplay garb. There was also a pair of girls who did a comedy short about unrequited Puppy Love that was Charlie Chaplin inspired for sure!
Last but not least were the Dance Groups! They were simply awesome. A troupe named Minus^2 did a mashup that borrowed from Step Up 2's famous raindance closing scene (with Moose as a "puppetmaster"), whilst another (Beast[X]) did a duo of Korean pop songs changing roles from 'guys' to 'girls' halfway through. A class put together a Gleeky rendition of "Dancing Queen" too!
So... this marks the end of my first post. =)
