Totally looking forward to them !!! it is also good to know that you have friends that will tell you .... "the next time you come .. just call from the airport and I will be there to pick u up ... faster than teksi ...

MWL DT Layout - 7 Gypsies Lille

2011-02-08T12:54:00.000+08:00

This week, we were asked to use paints and distress inks in our layouts and I used white paint to distress the papers to give it a washed out look. Distressing the edges of the papers using walnut stain distress ink, I also added some texture to the layout by rubbing distress stickles ard the layout giving it "rough'ed" up look .. This layout was a dare from a friend who dare'ed me to create a layout by using only papers, alphas and one embellishment and not adding so much stuff to it and making the layout expensive. I used 3 patterned papers, mediums and 1 metal embellishment.

Supplies Used:-

Patterned Papers - 7 Gypsies Lille Papers (Abundance, Adventure and Coure)
Mediums used - Blank Canvas Paint (Claudine Hellmuth, Ranger Industries), Walnut Stain Distress Ink ( Ranger Industries), Vintage Photo Distress Stickles ( Ranger Industries), Glossy Accents (ranger Industries)
Alpha - American Crafts THickers
Metal Embellishment - Trinket pin (Tim Holtz Ideology)

All Available at MWL !!!!

Class - Made With Love

2010-10-08T13:56:00.003+08:00

Brand New Class this month at Made with Love.

Junkful of Memories

It really doesn’t matter if it’s just black and white cos Sharon’s come up with a really cool project that you won’t want to miss! Create a novel Maya Road box album, using the very attractive Paddington Range collection – a new CHA Summer release from one of our favorite brands - 7 gypsies! And have lotsa fun playing with a variety of patterned papers and embellishments that really bring out the beauty of a black and white palette! You’ll be surprised at how stunning it can be!

What To Bring Along ::
glue tape, foam dots, glossy accents, precision-tip scissors, distress ink (black), heavy duty pen knife/craft knife and pencil.

Dates this months are :

15th October , the class on the 24th of October (indicated in the loveletter) will be cancelled as I will be outstationed during that period . The store will contact the persons who have signed up to let them know the replacement date.

*edit* The replacement dates for the class has been set to 31st October 2010. Spaces are still available for you to sign up if you have not yet done so.

2010-10-06T16:14:00.003+08:00

Okay .. here is the layout mich... haha .. and yes I confess i actually ... forgot .. too many things happening at one time and of course my blog gets neglected .

The layout is one of the peektures I took in HKG (dun even ask me abt those pics, only uploaded the photos to mackie.. thats all .. oh yah and to facebook) , this was the day of the typhoon .. yes, going by track record, me and disneyland will automatically generate a typhoon .. oh heck .. me in Hong Kong will auto have a typhoon .. even if the whole season does not have a typhoon, when I get there .. the typhoon will come too ... the photo is very misleading cause it looks like we actually went to Disneyland but all we did was to go shopping at the Disney store at the Hotel .. we did not step into the park at all ...

This layout was done for MWL assignment and we used Basic Grey's Jovial range plus a stipulated die from Sizzix to create.

Well hope you all like it .. will try to update .. and .. Brunei'ans get READY!!!

My photos are all uploaded to Facebook .. so do go take a look see look see.

Next up ... ADC stamps ... I have the weekend to play !!!!!!!!!!!!

it all started ...

2010-07-19T16:58:00.004+08:00

with an SMS ... challenging me to use brighter Distress ink Colors in an altered project after work on Friday by M all the way from KL .. and of course I started to work on them while "watching" TV after dinner .. :) It was soooooo much fun to be challenged and of course I could not stop at 1 tag .. I did 3 ..

My favourite is the blue one but the hot favourite was of course the queen with .... "OFF WITH HER HEAD"!!!!!!

Saturday night came .. and another challenge .. to use the brighter colors in one layout .. and I did this ....

used 1 piece of a Graphic45 Scrap and the rest was stamping and masking with one of Tim Holtz Mask. Kept it simple but anybody see that "ghost" clock from Heidi Swapp from ages ago .. yes I am trying to use up older papers and embellishments from eons ago ... so look out for them yah !!! ....

And the next piece is my favourite.... saw a journal where the artist used the same papers in her mix media art journal and i was super inspired. I did not follow her totally but lifted the banner placement and the piecing of the cut out figures... it was super fun to be playing with paints, inks, mists and masks.... do you like it ???

phew .. quite a long post .. but thats because i had a rather productive weekend ... thanks for the challenge .... next weekend one more ?? bwabahaahahah

MWL June layout !!!

2010-06-22T12:54:00.003+08:00

This month the DT was asked to create using recycled items and mediums and since I re-ignited my love affair with the Distress ink pads, I totally had to use them. My recycled item was a "bubble" box from packaging and a bottle cap. The bubble box was alcohol inked and micro beads was placed in them to create a shaker box. While the bottle cap was used to hold a tiny quote. Journalling is hidden behind the photo Mat. And the tag was made using the paint resist and lots of inking....

Materials :

PP : Tim Holtz Ideology, Basic Grey
Inks : Rusty Hinge, shabby Shutters, Spiced Marmalade, and Walnut stain.
Embellishments : Maya Road Clock Sheers and tattered angels Glimmer Glass.
Mask : Tim Holtz Time Mask
Alphas : American Crafts and Jenni Bowlin
Stamps : Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous

All available from MWL!!!!

Classes at Shabby Chic, Brunei

2010-05-05T16:42:00.002+08:00

Okay so as you all know already, I flew over a great big ocean to Brunei last weekend to have classes. Okay not really a weekend but over 5 days .. yes 5 glorious days ...

I started my super long journey arriving at Changi at 7 am for my flight .. had to go down to the airport early cause I had over packed and the nice ppl at SQ (yes I am grovelling) allowed my super heavy luggage (26kgs) of stuff on board .. I arrived after a not too bad flight at abt 11am and we went over to B and I's place where i had to repack my hand carry for my one night stay in Miri. We went off to have one of my favourite food in BSB for lunch .. AMBUYAT... with sardines .. YUMMY .. all those of you who have not tried it .. go try it .. it is DA BOMB !!! super yummers i tell u... after lunch we made our way down to KB to pick up J ... it was a 2 hour drive but with car mates like Sootan H and Ahmad I ... it was a rather short ride i tell u .. kekek .. by the way .. i was body guard S ... hahaha We did nothing much in MIRI except to eat, shop, eat, drink coffee, craft, sleep, eat, shop and eat.. before making our way back up to BSB. Food in Miri was fantastic we had seafood at Meng Chai .. those ppl making plans to go there ... MUST go try ok .. the Garlic fish and the prawns is SUPER YUMMY .... also must visit Mr Ho's Fine food too ..german food at malaysian prices ... who can complain .. not me ...

Anyways... back to BSB, Sootan H was really nice to let me stay at her place .. and only one word can describe it .. WOW ... keke .. yes all the rumours abt it is true .. bwahahahah .. but only SHARON can stay in SHARON's room yah .. ahhaahaha .. remember that hor Sootan H .. ahahah .. All i can say is .. I think I can actually now say that I can stay in Brunei ... hehe life is soooo relaxed over there ..

Saturday came and of course the first of 2 classes started .. pics to follow ... basically a mini album .. and the 8 girls who came by .. FANTASTIC bunch u girls .. we had so much fun chatting and crafting .. and of course chocolates will always be welcome in my class .. thank you siew lu .. kekek ... Dinner was at Thian Hock .. another chinese restaurant in Gadong .. Food was also good there .. the fish head curry ... perfect with rice .. i like ... and would you belive it .. after dinner, irene told us that she had a small surprise for us .. we had a MINI class .. where I became student and she taught us a mini album too .. how fun .. we stayed till like 12ish ... before we even packed up to go home ...

Sunday was another class day but this was an early morning class, this time the group of 8 did not disappoint too .. they were noisy and funny .. and was a pretty relaxed class lah ... class over-ran by a bit .. (ok ok 1 hour not abit lah .. but u girls had fun rite ?? ) and after that we had a quick lunch at swensens .. before we went back to the shop to pack up .. but of course .. we did not till much later ... some of the girls decided to finish up the projects for mother's day and we all sat down and chit chat, and ate somemore .. till like abt 4ish -5 .. we all packed up after a call from a husband in KB asking .. "how come the class end at 12 but you still in bandar" .. heheeh but of course .. we did not go straight home .. we still went shopping at SB at an awesome shop .. :) Thank you J for showing us the shop ... hehehe .. den off we went to look for mint sauce but i think that day there was another party who had lamb too cause the 4 supermarkets we went to did not carry them ... too bad ... but I HAVE TO ANNOUNCE .... B is A VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD CHEF!!! .. D u are a very lucky man ... the dinner she made for us was super yummy .. love the salad dressing and the lamb .. JUST PERFECT !!!!!!!!

Hmmz .. this seems to be a very long post yah .. so let me just put up the photos ... enjoy ..

Yeap got back abt 8 hours ago .. and after a nap (yes I classify sleep under 6 hours a nap :P) I have downloaded all 1500 pictures into mac-kie. Amazing trip I had, travelling for 10 days in Yun-nan Province. It is such an amazing place, with picture perfect scenery and Fantastic travelling partners, A special shout out to Auntie Janet, Auntie Jasmine, Uncle Mike and Uncle HP who made the nightly "Party" session so fun. It was really great to have met u peeps there. Not forgetting the wonderful tour people, Iris, Lynn, Rachel , Tommy and his wife, auntie Red lip Gull and Friend and also the tour guides in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-la that made the trip wonderful... Ok ok this is sounding like an academy awards thank you speech ...

I had fun the last 10 days .. the food was good, the accomodation was good, the company fantastic and the shopping, well nothing much but still managed to get some really nice stuff .. that may turn up in some of my creations.. yes 1500 photos .. WOOOHOOO ... I am pumped to create now .. but first , luggage to unpack, clothes to wash and LOTS OF STUFF to put away ... geesh .. I swear I left with a clean and neat room .. so why is there a mess now ????

Sighz .. Pictures will be up .. soon .. i hope .. :)

So Sorry
