fun&chic

best buddy's birthday 


I'M BACK! for a moment, before life gets totally crazy again!

Well, this following album was done some time in April for one of my long-time friend's birthday.
This year, as you guys would notice, is when all my friends turn 18.

I used a My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy  "Tickled Pink" Chipboard album  as the base. the pastel colours and subtle prints and fun shape, J'adore!

The albums layered pages gave me quite a bit of room to play about with texture.

First page was simple, going for an  Audrey Hepburn-esque feel. Prima flower and glitter chipboard. Use bits of American Crafts glitter paper as well.

Second page was more opulent, with lots of ribbons and flower accents. Ribbons used here were from Printribbon.
Stickers were from Daiso!! Oh, the joy of $2. Also features Maya Road Resin Blossoms in Red.  And staple to all my creative escapades, flower accents from Prima. I totally can't recall where the glitter flourish came from though!

This page feature a back-to-school vibe. I can't quite remember where I got my embellishments here from as they were the last few bits of each. I did use a Me & My BiG Ideas jelly sticker. Words were from a Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type set.
 

Simplest page in the whole book, pictures say a thousand words. This page was travel themed so hence the little paper plane. The square photo stickers were both from Cat Socrates.

Prelude to the last page, which you will see in awhile... Can you feel the Carnival vibe?

The last page is one of my favourite, most crazily colourful pages ever!

Feature a HUGE MIXTURE of materials! Mrs. Grossman's Stickers, Me & My BiG Idea accents, PinkPaislee wooden shapes and cardstock accents, and cardstock Thickers. And lots and lots of wonderful ribbon scraps.

So there you have it! Til next time~

things i am not good at.

but enjoy nonetheless

1. Bowling; I hit the gutter 80% of the time.
2. Sewing; I can sew, but tend to leave stray pins in folded my hemming.
3. Drawing people, especially couples; proportions always seem odd.
4. Cooking; edible and rather tasty, but nothing fancy. 
5. Being a friend; i try my best, but tend to fall short sometimes. ♥

celebrate

in a heartbeat, time has passed us by


____HAPPY 46th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! ♥____

a list that i can't help but agree with.


This blog is meant to house crafty stuff but...

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!
