Paper Issues February Challenge - Bigger is Better

Hello folks, welcome to my blog!

Another share from me of Paper Issues February Challenge called Bigger is Better

 

I love this challenge. I cut out the word Precious using my Cameo. As requested, I cut them as big as possible so it will fit on the 12x12 layout. Next I embellished the layout to my heart content and very pleased with the result.

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Old School Challenge

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

Each month Paper Issues has multiple challenges on their facebook group and I love their challenges!

This time I played along with a challenge called Old School. We must use vintage photo or simply print your photo in black & white.

Well, there's a first time for everything and this is the first time for me in the history of scrapbooking that I used black & white photo on my layout.

Here's my take for the challenge:

First, I cut out this beautiful Broken Hearts of Glass Background cut file from NeatNCraftyCutz using my Silhouette Cameo. Then I backed the paper with a paper from On Trend Collection by Crate Paper. Next I simply embellish the page with various embellishments from Crate Paper as well.

I super duper love the way it turned out. Safe to say that I love using black and white photo on my page from now on :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Let's Get Sketchy - March 15th Sketch

Hi crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

Today I want to share the March 15th sketch by Let's Get Sketchy. I know, I know, it's a little bit late, but life has been hectic for me lately and I had no chance to post this sketch on time.

Anyway, here's the sketch created by none other Brenshevia herself. Isn't it great?

 

And here's my take

 

 

I used paper from Simple Stories collection. Since the pattern paper was already busy, I didn't add too many embellishments on my page. For an extra touch, I cut large flower cut file from Cocoa Vanilla Studio using my Silhouette Cameo. I adhere it on the left side of the photos to balance the look of the whole layout.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and do play along with us. You have till March 31, 2018 to link up your layout to Lets Get Sketchy blog. Happy crafting!

Let's Get Sketchy - February 15th Sketch

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

It's time for another installment of Let'ss Get Sketchy. Here's the new sketch for February 15th created by Brenshevia

and here's my take

I used the September 2016 Cut File from Hip Kit Club. I simply cut it using white cardstock and adhere it to this beautiful rainbow paper from Simple Stories, Good Day Sunshine collection. I love that the cut file really pop over the paper. You must see it in person, it's so pretty.

Because the cut file and the paper was pretty busy, I didn't use too much embellishment on my page. I keep it simple to make the photos as the center of attention. I simply used stickers from the collection as well together with bits and pieces from my stash.

Remember to play along with us and link your layout to Let's Get Sketchy blog by February 28. We have $25.00 gift certificate from Kj Kareen for this month's winner.

Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Hello Adventure

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog!

I love cut files. They're beautiful, versatile and could add wow elements in my page. My favourite sites to purchase cut files, besides Silhouette store, are Just Nick Studio and The Cut Shoppe. I have purchased tons of their cut files and determine to use them in every single layout that I made, I wish!

Now, I used Doodle Floral Circle Background cut file from Just Nick Studio for my page here. I enlarge the cut file so it filled most of my background paper. I chose floral paper from American Crafts old collection. Since the patterned paper is already bright and colourful, I backed the cut file with soft green paper to tone it down.

Close-up of the cut file:

The photo was taken from my recent vacation in Singapore. I used single large photo to really make it centre of attention. I also used clear sticker from Simple Stories that I simply put directly in the photo. Aren't these stickers lovely.. :)

Here's the close-up

I really love the way this page came out together. I'll be making more layouts with cut files for sure!

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Let's Get Sketchy - January 1st Sketch

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

I want to share my DT post for Let's Get Sketchy. They have a new wonderful sketch for this month and I have created a layout about my son when he was 2 month old.

I use love as my inspiration. As you can see, my pattern papers from Webster's Page have love word and symbol written on all over it. So I die cut a love shape from Maggie Holmes dies and use Fall in Love free cut file from Paper Issues as my tittle.

I really love how this page turned out. The red paper background really make my page pop!

I hope you enjoy my layout and will hop over to Let's Get Sketchy to see what other DT have created. Come play along and join the fun as they offer a generous $30.00 gift certificate from Creative Embellishments for this month's winner. You have till 30 January 2018 to play with us!

Happy Crafting!

I Love You More Everyday Layout

Hi all! Today, I want to share a layout I made using silhouette cameo. There are tons of beautiful layouts out there shared by other scrapbooker, and boy they all look gorgeous!

I am not master in using a die cut machine, not at all. I am still a beginner for sure :)
But I am eager to learn more so I could make a good use of my machine.

Well, for this particular layout, I used NDS 2016 Free Cut File shared by The Cut Shoppe.

Those cut files are gorgeous. I modified the Love is Everything cut file into one big background.

Here is the layout I made:
