More Christmas Cards

Here are more Christmas cards I've done for the Papierhouse November Challenge. Decided to make these cards for Regina and the DTs of Papierhouse. At the same time, I get to use up my old Christmas stash from last year!

Added some puffy paint for texture...

June's card was done with some tearing and inking...

Regina's card with tearing as well, also added some blings to brighten up the card...

Christmas is coming!!

Here are some Christmas projects I did for CardsnScraps... Some cards and altered ornaments chipboard. They are on display at CardsnScraps! Go check them out if you can..=)

These are submitted for the following challenges:

Papierhouse November Challenge: Create cards or gifts for the Christmas season

Magistical Memories Contest : To create holiday projects (holiday cards, tags, layouts or altered projects) and use at least one piece of chipboard or acrylic on the project.

I cut out the star pattern from the pattern and placed it over the cardstock. I then placed a vellum over it which was held down by eyelets.
I also stamped an ornament and stickled all over.

This card was so quick to complete! The PP stood out too much for me to place the sentiment cut-out over it. So the vellum was used to mute the colours and text on the PP...

The rest was just embellishing and stickling!=)

Here are the altered ornaments chipboard. Simple ones which you can hang on your christmas tree.

Eyelets were used to line the border of the chipboard.

Added a sentiment rub-on and doodled with stickles.

Stamped the sentiment on the PP and stickled on it. Didn't manage to wait for the stickles and glossy accent to dry before I take photo. =P will try to get better shots when I get them back.

Added stickles to the embellishments!

Hope these projects have sparked off the Christmas mood in you! =)

hort park

Here's a page about my recent trip to hort park, inspired by the following challenges:
American Crafts Autumn Week Challenge

Pile It On Challenge 23: Fall - Use a leaf or leaves and combine it with at least one other challenge.
Ed's Weekend Challenge at Laines: To use multiple photos on your layout. It has to be 4 or more photographs.

I decided to do a page full of all the interesting things I saw... I sprayed glimmer mist to the cardstock and inked the edges of the PP.

I used the thickers to form 2 eyes on the cloud chipboard.. =) Doodling was done around some of the photos.

I cut-out a flower from an AC PP and adhered the Flair adhesive badge on it. Did some layering of flowers and leaves.

The edges of the cardstock were distressed and inked.

Colours of Nature

Here's what I did for UYSC by June . The challenge is to use up our old brads and eyelets on our layouts. I started by inking the background cardstock...

I decided to embellish these chipboard trees with as many eyelets and brads as possible.. The chipboards were first sprayed with glimmer mist...

Here are the close-ups...

Using up some of my Making Memories nature stash on the layout.

It took quite a while to punch all these brads through the chipboard, but i love the effect and texture created! =)

Gong Xi!

Here's my take for HappyScraps Graphic Inspired Challenge 4. I was inspired by the focus towards the crow and the draping below it.

I did my page on a Hambly overlay. The draping was recreated using chipboard and dewdrops.

I also inked the edges of the overlay to create the effect in the graphic.

The rest was all about embellishing the layout! =)

selamat hari raya 08

Here's Ed's Sketch for the month of November.

Here's my take on the sketch.. I cut the lace cardstock into a circle and doodled the scallops around it with pen, stickles and puffy paint.

The fabric button was inked to give a distress look to match the other embellishments.

Stickles were added to the embellishments to highlight them..

The title is placed on a clear acrylic where i used a background stamp on it and painted the back of the acrylic to reveal the image..

Class of 2009 the Grads Postcard Album

Artz de Scrap's November Challenge is up on the blog! Go check out the other DT's take! :)
The challenge is to alter an album using Postcards. Here's my take..

Instead of painting over the postcards and using them as a base, I decided to use the images and words on the postcards to go with the photos I've chosen. I have so many postcards, there must be some that will go with the photos..=)

The postcards were held together by rings embellished with ribbons..

The pages were embellished simply with PPs, stickers and chipboards.

I also highlighted portions of the photographs with chipboards and stickles.

Added a '9' over the '7'..

Some of the postcards were not of a proper rectangular shape, these add interest to the pages.

Some postcards have words on them that turn into journaling for my pages.

Some postcards make great backgrounds for the pages. For example, this outta the box postcard gave me an idea to cut out the photo and placed it coming out of the box!

Added a '4' on the sticker 'fifth grade' to change it..:P

that's the end of the album, hope you've enjoyed the pages! =)

It's a Beautiful Day

Here's what I did for MWL IreneGwen's FABRIC MIXED challenge.
1. Scrap a 'close to nature' 12x12 layout (anything natural.
2. You can only use ONE cardstock and incorporate the rest with FABRIC.
3. You can only use embellishments related to 'close to nature'. Example : Flowers, butterflies, fabric buttons, stitching ... etc.

I started by stitching the fabrics which are also nature related to the cardstock..

I gathered all my nature stash for this layout... Stickers, flowers, felt, chipboard and more! I also looked for stash related to rainbows to go with the rainbow in my photos...

Layered the embellishments to give more texture...

Lastly, the cardstock was glimmer mist and inked around the photos and embellishments.

Love how colourful the page turned out! :) I'm submitting this for Pile It On Challenge #21 - Color Challenge as I have blue, green and yellow on my layout!
