Beach Babes

I'm back! Not that I went somewhere. Not that I'd been busy that I don't have time blogging. It is just that, I am at Club Creating Keepsakes and Two Peas in a Bucket lately. So, yeah most of my layouts are there now. I feel like reviving my blog again by posting something today. I am sure if my blog could say something, it would probably have told me to come and visit often.

Okay enough with all the nonsense talk. I just want to share my latest layout inspired by Club CK Recipe Challenge:

1)summertime photos - check
2)envelope mini album - self made envelope turned into mini Album
3)a transparent element - hot air balloon
4)a monogram (single large letter) - B
5)and an accent cut from patterned paper. - Bikinis

Materials used: Patterned Paper ( WRMK); Stickers ( WRMK); Stamp (WRMK); Thread ( DMC); Ink Stamp ( Tsukineko); Adhesive ( Beacon's 3in1); Transparent element ( Tattered Angels); Monogram ( Bella!); Twine ( Divine Twine)

Technique used : Hand-stitching

Thanks for looking!

Cute Cuts

Hello there!

It's been awhile. This is my first post for 2012. I'm happy that once again, I was given a chance to use my blog. It's Bella Blvd that kicked me on posting here :) Yes, I happened to stumble upon their blog and saw Shannon Tidwells challenge. A challenge, which is about cute cuts. It's an interesting challenge. So, withour further ado, here's my take...



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love flowers!

As a scrapbooker, one thing I can't scrap without is flower. I always love to put flowers on my layout. It may be a cut out or 3D type. There's got to be a flower on it. I don't know why but it is a challenge for me when I have to scrap without it. It would take me hours thinking of what to do without it. Flower makes my life easy when scrapping. I feel like giving life on my layout whenever I would put flowers on it. Ok so much of the flower talk. I just want to share some layouts, as usual with flowers! TFL!
