Paper Issues February Challenge - Polka Dot Party

Hi crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

If you follow me on Instagram I bet you know how much I love challenge and Paper Issues has plenty of challenges every month.

So I want to share my page created for Polka Dot Party challenge back in February.

Here's my take:

Don't get me wrong, I love polka dot for scrapbooking but I hate it if I have to wear it for my outfit! I have zero outfit with polka dot pattern!

Ok, back to my page. These are photos of my daughter playing silly in my brother's house. She pretended to ride the skateboard. Boy, she can't skate, she can't even ride a bicycle! Can't you believe that!!

This page is a polka dot galore. There are polka dots everywhere from the background paper to the tittle! But hey, I love the way it turned out.

Thank you 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 - March 1st Sketch

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

It's March 1, 2018 and Let's Get Sketchy has another installment for this month. This time is a little bit difference because we have a moodboard to be used with the sketch.

Here are the moodboard and the great sketch by Brenshevia

 

 

I was totally in love with the color of the moodboard. When I first saw it, I knew that I had to use the paper from Good Day Sunshine lines from Simple Stories to document my vacation I had years ago in Phuket, Thailand.

 

Look at the color of the paper, isn't it gorgeous! It captured all the colors, the bright and shiny feel of summer outdoor shoot!

 

I cut three vertical strips of papers and one horizontal strip of paper to be tucked in behind my photo. I embellish the page with bunch of stickers from the collection as well and some bits and pieces from my stash.

 

Here are some close-ups

 

 

 

 

For the first time ever I add photo overlay over my photo. I have bunch of photo overlays from Simple Stories but I had never used any of them on my photo. Well, I was glad that I did it coz I am happy with the result!

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!

Oh...Happy Day - February 1 Challenge from Stuck?! Sketches

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

It's no secret that I love playing with sketches. They're fun and could give you a starting point to create your layout.

This time I played along with February 1 2018 sketch from Stuck?! Sketches

I have tons of old photos of my daughter that I have yet to scrap. So I'm happy that I finally scrap these photos using Snap collection from Simple Stories. I fussy cut various elements from the paper to embellish my page. I really love the brightness and bold colors of this Simple Stories collection. They fit perfectly with my scrapping style. Well, if you could color your world why make it dark right!

Hope you like my page and thank you for stopping by!

Seriously Cute

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

It's always good to start off the week with a new crafty project. I spent my new year holiday at home, creating some layouts for my personal project and DT project. I love having extra time so I could create something with no rush.

I created a layout of my son from our recent trip to Ancol theme park.

I cut the chevron shapes paper from Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine collection. At first I didn't know what to do with it. But then I tried to play along and try to find a matching paper to start with. I used Studio Calico paper for the base of my layout and used subway flag from Pink Paislee Hey Kid collection to embellish my page.

I really like how the page turned out. My son looks so cute with his duck face posed and this page captured his cuteness perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by today!
