Altered Bird

This is a deco project that I've created using Clear Scraps acrylic XL bird and some gorgeous stamps from Darkroom Door. I really love this stamp set and wanted to create a project to showcase it.

Here are the steps:

1) Use a Clear Scraps acrylic XL bird as the base for this project. Ink on it's back with various alcohol ink.

2) Stamp on the front of the acrylic bird with the stamps and black solvent ink. I've used the compass stamp to stamp the eye of the bird.

3) Paint the edges of the bird with some silver acrylic paint.

4) Colour part of the stamped images with Copic markers and dress it up with Stickles.

5) Add some cut-out flourishes and flowers on it's tail. Detail it with crystals and Stickles.

6) Attach some ribbons on it's neck and add a huge flower to it. Dress it up with Stickles.

This is such a fast and easy project. Why not create some and hang it by your window or on your tree this Christmas. Have fun!

Published Page

As per your request, above is the page that my layout had been published. The reason that I'm surprised on this is not because they've not asked my permission. It's due to the fact that they've asked for this layout about a year ago and now it's only published. Well, maybe this is due to the reason that they are changing some of the details on this magazine lately. It's now a twice a year magazine instead. Anyway, I'm happy that they've published it.

I've finished with my projects for Swirlydoos and will be sharing it here soon. Keep an eye for it!

Published in Somerset Memories!

I was so surprised to get the Autumn issue of Somerset Memories in my mail last Friday. I've no idea why but when I flip the pages in it, I've found out that they've published one of my layout in it. Woohoo! It's a layout that I've done very long ago where I've challenged myself to use only a single cardstock and the photograph. I've used various medium to create depth and layers on it. the title of the layout is "Inside".

This week is my off week on The Crop Spot. I'll continue to post my projects there from next week onwards. Have you all tried out for the huge giveaway? If you've not, you still have some time. Check out the details here and try your luck!

I'm actually working on some projects using Swirlydoos November kit right now. This kit is really gorgeous! Full of TPC Studio and Kaisercrafts yummy goodies! Will be sharing as soon as I finished them.

23 Weeks!

Here's one of Hiro's latest picture. His fur around his neck is growing so much that it's forming kind of a mane. From this week onwards, we take him out for a short morning walk around the neighbourhood everyday. He loves it and look forward to it every time.
Yesterday, we've bought for him a new water bowl which is heavier than his current one. He actually loves to play with his water bowl too much and spilled all his water. He ended up not having any water to drink while we were not at home. When we came back, he ran straight to the bathroom and drank water from the wet floor inside. Luckily we weren't out for too long and the weather aren't too hot. Therefore, we've decided to get another water bowl for him to prevent that happening again.
We've also bought a muzzle guard for him. We plan to use it as a way to punish him when he is not behaving such as chewing on furniture and nibble on others toes and fingers. I'm hoping that this will work.
I was actually hoping to see a Siberian Husky in Russia while I was there but have no luck with that. I was only able to see some German Shepherds.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!

My Playful Girl Mini Album

This is a mini album that I've created sometime ago for Clear Scraps. I've used the owl chipboard mini album and load of colourful pattern papers and embellishment from My Little Shoebox. It's a fun project and I've loads of giggle in the process of creating.

Below are some pictures of the pages inside this mini album.

The technique involved in this mini album is basically making use of the amazingly colourful pattern papers and create layering and embellishment out of it. I actually had some difficulties trying to plan out this project initially due to the colourful papers which are not really my usual style. I just let myself loose and try to play along with the colours. As I always say "Scrap with your heart and don't forget to have fun too!"

Now, I think it's really fun to create some colourful projects once a awhile. It brings out the happy mood in me. If you have not tried creating a colourful project, I think you should. It's a new door that you should open and discover it! Have fun creating!
