My Little Sweetie Birthday!

2010-11-29T09:13:00.001+08:00

Buffet from Delihub

Jelly from Mrs Chan

Cake from Flor Patisserie

We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday last weekend. We chose the Strawberry shortcake theme for her birthday and I recycled her brother's 1st birthday pinata into a strawberry theme pinata coz it is really difficult to find strawberry shortcake party ware here and I order a yummy strawberry shortcake cake from a Flor Patisserie - the cake is really soft and yummy with lots of strawberry. We also order our food from Delihub and lots of yummy satay from Kwong Satay.

We also got the children to make little strawberry shortcake photo frames to bring home.

Overall the party was good and we all had a good time eating and chatting.

Thank you everyone who came for her birthday!

Mini Magnolia Pouch

2010-07-11T14:00:00.000+08:00

My son and myself was down with the chicken pox virus since the middle of June. It started with my son who was down with the virus than I was affected after his was healed. We were blessed to have medication to control the infection and we were not affected by lots of poxs all over our body.

Since we were all house bound for these period it gives me some time to stay home and finished some of the crafts which I wanted to do a while ago. I had been wanting to make these cute mini pouch using canvas fabric and some japanese fabric for the back of the pouch.

The images were hand stamped using versacraft inpad and then I used my copic pens to fill in the images. Here are some of the finished products that I have sew. Beside these mini pouch I've also complete some hair bows and hairclips which I am currently selling at my etsy.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

21st Birthday

2010-06-13T15:31:00.000+08:00

One of our cousin's daughter celebrated her 21st birthday last month at the Pasir Ris Chalet so I decided to do up a canvas page for her keepsake. I used the stamp image from donna downey large foam stamp and one of my favourite Magnolia stamp image, some acrylic paint, glimmermist, flowers and a simple felt frame from Blueyedezines to complete the gift.

Here is the finished product:

Flower in a pot

2010-06-13T08:06:00.003+08:00

I used left over canvas materials to make these lovely flower for my flower pot cards.

I was inspired by Splitcoaststampers video at you tube. It was a lovely flower pot that they taught at the video and I added my canvas flower which I painted with various paints and added some glitter and a Swarovski crystal in the centre. When the person received the card she can take out the flower pin and use it as a hair accessories or as a brooches.

Here are some of my flower pots card that I have complete the last few days!

2010-06-12T17:59:00.001+08:00

So what have you been busy with for the month of May? For me I had been busy finishing some cards cos had a order of 30 cards from a friend a while ago and every card had to be different.

This is one of the card that I have completed in the month of May. The girl is from one of the Hanglar kit. She is so cute and I used my copic pen to colour her, added some patterned paper and ribbon to complete the card.

Here is another card that I have completed:

For this card I've used the Magnolia range of stamp, my copic pen, doily paper and some patterned paper to complete the card.

Beside making cards I've also completed some altered craft like this canvas bag from Donna Downey and Prima. I am truly inspired by her video that she shared in her blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I will be posting more cards in the next few days.

Hanglar & Stanglar

2010-04-27T13:36:00.000+08:00

Received these Hanglar stamps from Sweden yesterday.

So love these stamps! Guess will be spending some time making handmade stuff with these stamps.

Happy Year of the Tiger!

2010-02-16T10:12:00.001+08:00

So how did your Chinese New Year went?

We had our reunion dinner at my place, the kids enjoyed themselves staying up late into the night and we had our favourite raw fish "Yu Sheng" at the strike of midnight to ursher in the new year.

It had been a rough Ox year for both me and hubby cos it has taken both our dad away. But it was also the year where Isaac and Rebekah came to bring joy and comfort to our family.

We hope this year will be a better year for all in the family!

So how did my week went?

2010-02-11T23:34:00.002+08:00

So what have you been doing this week? Chinese New Year is round the corner and yes my week from Monday was a really busy week for me. Although we will not be having any festive decoration at home but we will still have our reunion dinner with the whole family and lots of goodies for friends and relative who are visiting us.

So how did my week went? On Monday was chatting with July about about how beautiful her handmade journal was. She told me it was pretty easy to do so I decide to buy the material and have her come over to my place to teach me to handmade them.

We went to Laines followed by Art Friend and bought all the materials needed and she came over to show me how to put together a journal. After she went home I found some lovely materials that I have bought previously to sew my bags and made up these 2 lovely journals which I will be using to journal about my son.

You can also visit her blog to see all the lovely art piece that she is creating from time to time. Thank you July for showing me how to handmade these lovely journal.

Yesterday I went with Endina, Alviss, my mom, Isaac and Melissa to IMM to do some last minute shopping, bought some stuff for Isaac put some of my sample stock at some of the children retail store for their consideration. We came home and all were so tired had a afternoon nap and made some cards which are going for sale this coming March.

Today we went over to 2nd auntie place at Bedok to pick up our traditional "Nian Gao" or sticky cake which is one of my favourite will take some picture of it. This cake is different from the rest selling in the market cos it's got lots of different nuts in it and it's really yummy. Isaac had a fun time having cheese cakes and playing with the dogs. Met up with my friend Fiona for lunch and gave her this little 6" x 6" journal and I am glad she likes it too!

So much for this week, will be busy preparing for the coming CNY. Thank you for visiting my blog. I wish everyone a very Happy n Prosperous Tiger New Year

Bring back fond memories!

2010-01-29T13:54:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, I brought Isaac back to where I grew up. I heard they are going to tear down most of the flats and the whole area is going for a revamp. While walking around the place brought back lots of wonderful memories. The swimming pool I used to go with my friends and cousin P. The playground that I used to play, it is in the middle of our flat and from our flat we can see the whole playground. I used to call my dad from our kitchen window when I see him coming home from work and see mom having taichi there.

Picture of mom and my son

I have walk this road more than a million times.

The swimming pool that I used to go

I used to wait for my friends here, The playground is on top the stairs.

My favourite playground up in the centre of our flat.

The playground I used to spend many hours at has been revamp - the swing, the roundabout and several other play items are no longer around..

This is where I used to stay. The RC is still around and the auntie and uncle is still siting downstair the Senior Citizen area.

Wow looking at this scrap page I feel time really pass us so quickly. He was just learning how to turn and lift his head and now he is one year old and running around the whole house.

I must really thank God for giving me this opportunity to be able to spend so much quality time with him. I feel that it is so important for us to be able to spend these time with them cos they grew up so quickly and I am glad I have a part of it.

Ailena and Caroline came with this cute dog to collect the Christmas items that they ordered from me and also to catch up for some afternoon tea. (If you looked closely did you see a Singapore IC on the dog?) Caroline bought my favourite cake and samosa from my fravourite store in Sunset Way.

We had a good time catching up and having tea and Isaac had his first close encounter with the dog.

Going to be tear down!

2009-10-27T09:22:00.010+08:00

This display niche has been with us for the last 10 years and today it is going to be taken down to make space for a new build in cupboard so that we can more storage space.

The workmanship of this cupboard were really good as till to date it is still in really good condition although it is a pity we have to tear it down but becos we needed more storage for things around our house so we have no choice but to forgo it.

2009-09-16T11:57:00.001+08:00

It's Wednesday today, just went out for a little stroll around the estate with a friend and her son. The weather here is still extremely warm! Hope to see some rain soon!

Yesterday we went out with Kris to visit the new concept store in town called "Paper Market" @ Raffles City Shopping Mall. The place is nice and bright, as usually I bought some lovely papers and embellishments. Were so inspired by all the nice layouts that were displayed in store by their Inhouse Designers that I came home yesterday evening to complete this layout.

The paper is from Webster's Page "Your Life Beautiful" range, felt frames from Blueyedezines, flowers & crystals from Prima and lastly the fabric buttons from K&Co.

2009-09-15T15:50:00.000+08:00

Hello Kitty Phone

2009-09-15T15:49:00.000+08:00

For all the Hello Kitty Fan - have anyone of you seen the new Limited Edition Hello Kitty phone from Sony Ericsson?

Last weekend while we were out for dinner saw this phone at one of the retailer shop. I am so tempted to get one for myself. Heard from the sales that this is a limited edition Hello Kitty phone. It is just a basic phone but really cute.

Sunny Monday!

2009-09-14T11:05:00.002+08:00

It's 3rd week of September and the weather here is really hot!

Last week were a fun week becos it's school holidays for the children. Went out with my nieces, had fun meeting my friends, doing up some scrapbook pages and made some cards, meeting up with friends who are teachers and attended a workshop at Laines. This week everyone is back to school and I'm also back to my routine.

The final shipment of my first scrapbook kit called the "Racial Harmony Kit" finally arrived early last week. We've designed this scrapbook kit theme to shows the different races in Singapore. We used the different cultural symbols or icons to design the different patterned papers and illustrates 3 sets of boys and girls from the 3 different races (chinese, malay and indian). We had so much fun the last 2 months teaching the new citizens in Singapore to create scrapbook pages with the is kit for themselves and little scrapbook pages of encouragement for 3 local Children Homes in my neighbourhood. Last week we brought the little album that were finished by the new citizens to the Homes and conducted a short scrapbook session for the children and they had so much fun doing their pages.

Mom's Birthday!

2009-08-31T23:01:00.003+08:00

Over the last few days I did several 12" x 12" layouts and here is one of the special layout for my mom's birthday! It's a really simple layout on my mom's birthday celebration! I used the doodling paper from DCWV and some simple embellishment, bling bling and added a Magnolia stamped image to complete this 12" x 12" layout.

Last year dad was still around celebrating her birthday with her sitting just next to her. This year we really feel the sense of loss as he no longer sit here on her special day! But I hope with us celebrating her birthday with her she did still enjoyed her day!

Merry Merry Christmas to You!

2009-07-14T10:39:00.003+08:00

You might be wondering why so early I am starting on my Christmas Cards making. Well, last year started my Christmas card making so late that ended up had to buy them off the shelves. So I tell myself this year I must start making my cards early so that I can get them off to the post by end of November. With the new Stanglar and Hangar stamps I created this non traditional colour theme card called "Merry Merry Christmas". I used bright sunny yellow card as background for this card added a handmade button, some lace and Christmas patterned paper from last year. Simply loving all the stamped images!

2009-07-14T10:13:00.005+08:00

Had always wanted to get some of these lovely stamps from Stanglar and Hanglar but they only sell them to people staying in Sweden and it had been really difficult to get any out of Sweden.

I must thank my cousin who got a whole lot of them for me as gift. I made several cards yesterday using these stamps and simply loving them all!

This year has been really a sad year for me and my hubby. Both of us lost our father within a period of 3 months. March was my beloved dad and June was my beloved father in law who suddenly collasped and passed on in Taiwan while we were on our family trip there. We were all in the state of shock and unbelieve becos he had been so healthy.

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, care and support!

Thank you for being there when I need you

2009-05-12T09:13:00.003+08:00

The weather here is wet but after the rain it is pretty hot and humid these days. Had been staying home doing cards, jewellery and sewing bags for friends and relatives who had help and supported me so much during my recent loss.

Thi is a little 5" x 5" card that says "Thank you for being there when I need you". Little Tilda holding a bundle of hearts so sweet. I crochet the flower and used a brad to hold it to the card. Bought this ribbon with Ed a few months ago as for the patterned paper it is some leftover from my previous layout.

Sorry for not posting since March it's becos I was terribly upset by the sudden passing of my wonderful dad. Although we know he had gone to a better place Heaven but it's hard to accept when someone left you so suddenly.

He has been a wonderful husband to mom and a very suppportive dad to me and we will miss him dearly.

2009-03-11T10:15:00.002+08:00

Ribbon from a local ribbon store and the little mushroom peg from Daiso ~ they have lots of interesting embellishment that we can use and it's only $2 per packet so value for money.

Weekend Is Here!

2009-02-21T07:45:00.006+08:00

It’s the weekend! Had been a busy week for me both at work and at home. Have not been able to post any cards because for the past week, my laptop has been at the service centre. I am currently using a loan set from HP which does not come with any photo editing software :( , but I am thankful that they have arranged a laptop for me to use temporary.

Although there were several unhappy things that happened around me lately but I am greatly blessed and comforted after reading this verse for I know that I have done the right things and I would like to share this verse with everyone, so that you will be greatly blessed too!

2009-02-11T10:37:00.003+08:00

It's midweek Wednesday and I'll like to share a card I've done.

For this card I used the cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss part of the card then added a long bench from the Magnolia collection, bling blings and button as part of the background of my card. For the Tilda & bench I used the following copic marker to fill in the colours:

Dress & Sock ~ R000, RV23 & RV25

Hair ~Y000, Y32 & E55

Face ~ E00, E21 & R20

Bench ~ E53 & W55

Valentine Card

2009-02-10T12:11:00.005+08:00

Bought this sweet Precious Moments stamp from a fellow crafter last year and had not played with it. Thought I'll use it for a Valentine's Day card. This stamp can be used for any occasions.

This is a very simple card I only used cardstock, ribbon and stamped images to complete it. For the heart I used my Quickutz to cut out the shape and used the swirl embossing folder from cuttlebug to embossed it. The rest are stamping and colouring.

Will be posting more Valentine's Day card the next few day!

Mini Sweet Candy bottle!

2009-02-10T00:28:00.005+08:00

It's another week ahead! Hope everyone had a good weekend and had a good start today!

Last Saturday morning I made this sweet pink Tilda bottle for a little girl's birthday. It has a little ribbon handle.

I used some pink ribbons, handmade foam flowers for the cap and I place little Tilda onto an embossed oval scallop off white cardstock to complete the bottle. As for the stamp I used copic marker to fill in all the colours.

It is almost the end of the week. Thought of sharing a little altered frame I did last month. Wanted to do them as Christmas gift but I guess can only give them as birthday present this year cos didn't have much time to complete all the frame due to some personal reasons.

I used some handmade clay flower I did and added bling bling to them, ribbons and felts from Blueyedezines for the border of the frame. Stamped a Lily & Milo image to do up the little girl embellishment for the side of the frame. Added the some photo matting for placing of photos and did some embossing on the frame to complete the project.

A simple cards to share

2009-01-03T12:39:00.010+08:00

A simple card that is really easy to do.

This card was inspired by my friend Fiona who did up a card with a little panda peeking out of a window.

If you want to do up a quick card for your loved one you can also try this card layout.

Cut your card size to 6" x 12"
Do two score line at 4" and 8" on the 12" length and fold your card to 4" x 6".
For the centre I used a MM scallop punch and punch the middle portion
Embossed the panel to give it some texture.
Add some ribbons and flower to complete the front of the card.

What are you doing now?

2009-01-03T12:27:00.009+08:00

It's the weekend again for me I will try and spend some time doing more cards using my new stamps. I just simply love all the stamps I bought from Magnolia they are so lovely. Will be collecting more stamps from my friend tomorrow so look back for my card from the Valentine collection which I am collecting. Heard they are really yummy!

For the above card I used the score pal to do the centre portion of this card where the Magnolia stamp sits to give it a pop up look. The patterned paper I used are the old series of the SEI patterned paper.

For each challenge, participants will be given 5 days to complete their work. Each week, the entry with the lowest score will be eliminated.

A friend, Felicia is one of the few remaining participants in Project Scrap~Away and I think she's a really creative and talented Scrapbook Artist! She is currently on her 9th Challenge. The challenge is to dig around for one of her very first layouts and then “re-update” or “re-do” the LO again. I am looking forward to seeing her layout. From all her project, I especially like what she did for her 8th project the “Black & White” Challenge. She can only use black and white colour and she came out with a lovely belt with lots of lovely embellishments.

If you would like to be inspired by her creations you can visit her blog. Best wishes Felicia for all you upcoming challenge!

Simple Layout

2008-07-17T08:34:00.009+08:00

I wanted to complete some 12" x 12" layouts for my album so I used some Blueyedezines latest patterned paper to create this 12" x 12" page. I cut out 2 flowers put some glitter on the flowers and used it as embellishment for my layout - something simple to complete.

The dog in the picture is "Raffles" - he is a very gentle and kind dog. He is no longer around so this is the last picture I took with him. I remember the first time saw him during my stayed at my friends place in Sydney, I was very scared of him cos he is such a huge dog. Becos I am so afraid of him he were not allowed into the house for the period I were staying there. One evening while we were playing game in one of the room I saw him peeking into the room to see what we are doing - he was such a gentle and sweet he did not run into the room which some dogs will, he just stayed outside the room and look!
