Let's Get Sketchy - August 15th Sketch

Hi crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

I can't believe it's mid August already. So, here's a new sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for 15th August challege

and here's my take

I love using mixed media for a layout but somehow I seldom use it. So this time I decided to apply mixed media for my layout.

I used a stencil from Kaisercraft, which I love so much. I used light pink ink over the stencil to create subtle yet interesting texture for my page. Next I splattered gold, black and pink color shine mist from Heidi Swapp to create even more texture. I really love the end result!

Thanks so much for stopping by and do take time to play along. Don't forget to link up your layout at Let's Get Sketchy blog so you'll get a chance to win the fabulous prize!

Have a fabulous day and happy crafting!

Let's Get Sketchy - August 1st Sketch

Welcome to my blog my crafty friends.. :)

Today I want to share a new sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for their August 1st installment

and here's my take

This sketch was quite challenging for me as I had to cut out tons of strips of paper. But I really like the end result though!

I used papers from Amy Tangerine collection called Ready Set Go. I really love the bright colour and the paper variety is awesome. It really suits my scrapbook style.

I cut the Young, Wild and Free title using Kaisercraft decorative dies. I cut the tittle several times to add more dimension so it will be sturdy and look like Thickers.

Thanks so much for stopping by and do take time to play along. Don't forget to link up your layout at Let's Get Sketchy blog so you'll get a chance to win the fabulous prize!

Have a great day and happy crafting!

Let's Get Sketchy - July 15th Sketch

Hi crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

The new and wonderful sketch from Let's Get Sketchy has been revealed!

Here's the sketch for 15th July

Here's my take

 

 

I was in the mood of scrapping old photo of my kid lately and this this time was no exception. I chose a photo of my daughter when she's about 10 or 11 years old, looking extremely happy posing on a horse at De Ranch Lembang.

 

I used My Mind's Eye collection from my stash to create this layout. I love the bright color and the flowers on the paper. It just screamed for summer don't you think!

 

The collection was super easy to work with. I just layered several papers, added some stickers and gold Thickers, and die cut the word Remember the Good Times using a decorative dies from Kaisercraft. I wanted to add more dimension with the die cut word so it would look like Thickers. So I cut the word for seven times and just layered them on top of another to achieve the dimension I was looking for. I was super happy with the result.

 

Come hop on over to Let's Get Sketchy blog and play along with us, it's super fun!

 

Thank you for visiting my blog, have a great day and happy crafting!

Enjoy The Ride

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog.

My boy loves it when I took him to a supermarket. For him supermarket is a giant playground waiting to be explored :)

Well, he loved to sit in a supermarket trolley so his mama had to snap a photo of him. He looked so cute right!

I created a page to document this memory

I tell you, so much going on this single page. I die cut the tittle using Kaisercraft decorative die. I also die cut several cogs, stars and xoxo word. I die cut the cogs using white paper and colored them using Distress Paint by Rangers. So much fun!

I also used an old school technique, a fun technique that we scrapbooker often used it in the past when electronic cutting machine didn't exist. Can you guess what that is? Yes, it's punch! I punch the paper using Fiskars and EK Success punches. I have tons of punches in my collection and I determined to use them often whenever I make a layout.

Here are the close ups:

That's all for now. Thank you for stopping by on my blog.

Let's Get Sketchy - August Week 5

Hi everyone! There's something unique about the current challenge at Let's Get Sketchy. This time they use a magazine ad as the inspiration instead of sketch.


Here's the inspiration:

I really love the color combo of the ad, so bright, fun and funky.


Here's my take:

The photo is a little bit fade since I took the photo in the middle of the night with poor lighting. The actual color is brighter than shown in the photo, the orange color is more vibrant and the green is even brighter. I'll replace the photo late if I have a better picture.


I chose the color that match with the color of the ad. I distress the edge of my paper to add the funky touch to my layout. The tittle were die cut using Kaisercraft decorative dies and Heidi Swapp. As usual, I mixed bits and pieces from different collections.


I am super happy with result and hope that you like it too :)


Thank you for stopping by!

Let's Get Sketchy - August Week 4

Hi everyone! Finally got a chance to play with another sketch from Let's Get Sketchy, August Week 4 that is.


Here is the sketch:

And here's my take :

When I see the sketch, I know that I'll be using the butterfly paper from Studio Calico that I've been hoarding for ages :)


I die cut the tittle using Kelly Purkey-Simon Says Stamp dies and heart border with Kaisercraft decorative dies. Bits and pieces are mixed from different collections.


I really liked the way it turned out. So perfect!

Let's Get Sketchy always came up with a great sketch. I particularly love that the sketch has a doily on it. I love doily, I often use it on my layout.
