More updates on the Vintage Oven

After searching through my art supplies, I finally found my miniature kitchen utensils.  Below is a photo I took with the miniatures.  They are so cute on top of the oven.  I also love the tiles on the back panel of the oven.  How I wish I could have the tiles on my kitchen : ).

Graphic 45 Design Team 2013 Audition

I just love the great products from Graphic 45 and that inspired me to audition for the 2013 Design team.  Here are some of my projects to reflect my design style.

Vintage Inspired Oven

                                                                       Baking tray to hold the recipes.                              

Tiles made from the French Country Collection.

Lady Boudoir

 Night view of the boudoir

Closet to hold tags.

Ribbon Holder

The birds's bodies are made from air dry clay and feathers are cut out from the Bird Song Collection.   The flowers are also made from paper in the Bird Song Collection.

Pop-Up Fan Card

I challenged myself to make a shabby-chic card for this Chinese Lunar New Year.   To add interesting element, the fan swing up as when the card is opened.

Baby Strollers

These are my supplies of baby shower gifts.  The below blue stroller was auctioned off and the proceeds went to the Malaysia Cancer Society.

Mini Baby Album

This is a tag album adorned with the beautiful paper from the Little Darlings Collection.

 

 

 Magnet are used to hold the mini accordion photo album.

Thank you to the Graphic 45 team for holding this audition.   And thank you for stopping by.

A Lady's Boudoir

I am very much behind in my blogging, still trying very hard to post all the projects I have completed.  

This post focuses on a lady's dressing room I made.  I used the Ladies' Diary collection from Graphic 45.  

Close-up shots of the dressing table and dress form.  I made the dress form from air dry clay and covered it with the pattern paper.

As for the album, I am still debating on whether to use tags or made a bound album to be housed in the closet.

  

And before I forget, the pink wall light is actually a working LED light.  This is a shot of the boudoir at night.

Thank you very much for stopping.  

My first scrap book layout..

Decided to venture into layout (something I thought I would not do since the 12' by 12" size seems so daunting) when I saw this beautiful piece of paper from Webster's Pages Best Friends collection.

When I first saw the wedding photos from a friend, I immediately noticed the photography style and clothing were dated to 10 years ago.   However, after flipping through them, I noticed that there was such radiance on the bride's face with a timeless beauty.   With that, I began to crop a few photos with her face only.

So this is my take of their wedding memory in year "2013".

As the paper and the photos have beautiful hues of colours, I decided to use light colour embellishment minimally.  

Perhaps, I will take another layout challenge but using a "minimalist" style.   Until then, thank you for stopping by.

More cards

Hello and Happy 2013.  Would like to share a few cards that I made for one of the Card Making class in my local scrap booking store.

First is a pop-up Valentine Card from the sweet Lucky In Love collection from My Mind's Eyes.

Second is a "wheel" card.  On the right side of the card, I punched through the card for the wheel to be turned to display the different greetings.  Left the greeting out on this card until the occasion arise and then I will stamp the greetings on to the wheel.  It is made from the MME Lost and Found 3 Oliver collection.

Last card is a challenge to myself to make a simple card using kraft paper.

Inside the card, I used masking tape with the 'bulldog clip' image to stick the notepad to the card.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by.

Thank You very much

Hello again.....   Last month, Graphic 45 ran a Thank you card challenge and it was a BIG reminder for me to thank all my friends who have been so amazing.   I decided to take up the challenge and created a card to express my gratitude with the beautiful Graphic 45 Ladies' Diary collection.

The front of the card is a happy lady (me.... ; ) carrying a shawl with the THANK YOU word.

   As for the inside, I used some of the amazing pictures from the Graphic 45 paper to capture the various events throughout our friendship that created the memories I would always treasured in my life.   

And to round up my story, I found this amazing quotes from www.goodlightscraps.com.

Hope you like the card.  Thank you very much for stopping by.
