Love You Card

I love to surprise Mr.Handsome with cards every now and then! He loves receiving them and will keep them in between of his reading books. Isn't he a keeper?

So have you created a card for your other half/ your loved ones/your friend lately? If you haven't why not take this opportunity to purchase this lovely Snow Shoe Nov kit and surprise that special someone in your life! Why not present that special someone or your close friend with a Snow Shoe kit? Prob an opportunity to jump start a hobby or it could be for Christmas gift? You'll never know...

Everyone loves surprises... I am one of them for sure! *giggles*

Christmas Cupcakes Layout & Mini Tutorial

My boss surprised me with Christmas cupcakes last year and I thought I should scrap about it so I can remember her thoughtful gestures in this season of giving. Wonder if there are any this year. LOL! Anyway, how often do we scrap about things? I am sure most of us scrap about our loved ones most of the time. Why not try scrapping about things in your next layout? It is fun and will be as meaningful as you scrap about your loved ones too :)

Added pearls for the Christmas tree!! Lovely!!

See that glittery and misted snowflakes? Wanna know how to make them? I will show you how to make both effect. Should we say creating own background paper?! *wink*

Snowflake 1: Misted snowflake.

You'll need a snowflake-looking punch. I used the Martha Stewart's Vintage Doily punch. I punched mine on a glossy photo paper. I have a few that I made printing mistakes on so why not recycle them. You may ask why specifically on a glossy photo paper? So I can reuse it many times because of it's thickness & the smooth glossy surface.

Lay your punched snowflakes all around a plain cardstock. Personally I like the kraft series from Bazzill.

Mist it with any colors depending on your theme. Here I used two colors - red & blue.

Here's the completed looking misted snowflake.

A tip: Once you are done, wipe off the excess mist on the punch snowflake with a wet wipe.

Snowflake 2: Glittered Snowflake.

It's the same how you do the misted snowflake but instead of misting it to the punched snowflake, you traced the negative using the ZIG glue. Fill up the holes.

Pour glitter powder on it, shake the excess off and...

Ta daa... you'll get yourself a glittered snowflake.

Just a tiny tip: Do your snowflake one at a time. Once you are all done, your punched snowflake will be sticky. Wipe of the excess glue witha wet wipe. That is why I prefer a glossy photo paper *wink*

Try it with any other shape punches and do share with me because I would love to see your take!

Cute

Hola! I'm back again with another layout I created for PDP using the "Snow Shoe Nov kit" of my beautiful niece, Charmayne. My second post of the day :) I love these photos alot, it was taken last year at her first birthday. She has the cutest smile a one-year-old could have :)

The Melissa Frances paper I used to punch these butterflies (cuteness) are from the previous "Fall In Love" October kit. I love that you can mix and match the kits together!

I adore this MME's banner!! This is so "CUTE"!

To give a little depth to the colors on this layout, I used the dark green seam binding and paired it with the beautiful Prima flower. Oh yeah, the lil' puppy is a cute addition too!

Stay cute and scrap cute, aite?

*giggles*

Happy Birthday Michelle!!

I am dedicating today's post to a very dear scrapper-friend that I've known for the past 3 years!! How time flies!! I first known Michelle Ku from a local scrapbook forum and then I was a digital scrapbooker. With her constant encouragement and guidance, I finally took a brave step into the paper world! It was so much fun because I can feel the papers, embellies and even play with tools. Since then, I never looked back and got immediately hook with papers. She is so talented and to me, she is like the "Oprah Winfrey" in the scrapbooking scene here in Malaysia. LOL! She loves to give RAK and not only that in every other form. Seriously!! She is my go-to-person whenever my church needed funds. Thank you Michelle for having a BIG heart & for being a GRACIOUS woman!! You have trully blessed me and many more souls out there!

This year, I wanted to do a BIG surprise for her by gathering all the talented scrapping friends in her blog list and also a couple more talented ones that she knows personally. The list on her blog made my life easier. LOL! I sent out emails to them and asked them if they would like to surprise Michelle with a card/gift. I was ecstatic when most of them agreed. Michelle has been receiving cards from ALL around and she became suspicious. LOL! Well, now she will know that I am the "culprit" behind it. Hope you are surprised and enjoy your day because you deserve it my friend!!

I will leave you with a chipboard 8x8 page I made for her...

Yup, that's my wish for you, Michelle that you will grow in faith and live well.

God bless your soul!!

Close up shots:

Have a good Monday everyone!

Glittery Christmas Tags

As each day passed by, I am in Christmas mood!! It's a great feeling. Probably it's all the Christmas projects I am working on. LOL!

When Macy (LSS: Papier's owner) gave me this Maya Road Ornate Tag Chipboard Coaster Book, I was thinking what should I do with them besides using them as a book/mini album. After much thought, I decided to transform them into Christmas Tags!!

Another tip: You can use them as a Christmas banner too. Just string all of them into a long twine *wink*

Use one of the coaster book chipboard as template. Trace it onto the patterned papers.

Once you are happy with your selection, cut it out and paste it.

I inked my edges too.

Here are some of the Christmas Tags I created:

It was really simple to put all these beautiful Imaginesce Christmas papers, Crate Paper & Making Memories die-cuts together. They went well together!

Guess what I will do after hanging them on the tree? I will transform the tags into a mini album. All I have to do is to remove the twine and replace it with a big ring to bind them together. Isn't that awesome? A great way to recycle the tags + preserving your Christmas memories :)

Hope you are inspired to start your Christmas projects!

Glad I found You

How time flies!! And now we have entered into the month of November. I am having lots of fun with "Snow Shoe" Nov kit. What a cute name for a kit :) It has beautiful selections from variety of manufacturers. A must have kit!!

This is my second time using the same photos on a layout. I loved them so much that I have to reuse. Have you try using the same photos twice on your layouts? You should try! You'll be amazed to see the variations of what you can do with the same photos :)

For my layout, I combined Prima's Jack & Jill papers with Echo Park's paper and it worked! Perfect combo. Isn't that lovely?

Always love to combine my journaling to be part of the title :)

Aren't the puppy and that little girl cute?

I seriously heart the blue Prima flower.

Handmade flowers are great "enhancer" to your creations!

I used a Prima flower and the MME brad to enhance the paper flowers.

I love to layer my fussy cutting together and glad that the

branches worked well on top of each other. LOL!

Hope you are inspired!

Oh Christmas Tree!

WARNING!! Before I begin, let me warn you that this is gonna be a loooong post *wink*

In Malaysia, we do not have four seasons. It is sunny all year long + rainy season every now and then or more towards the year end. I wish to experience snow one day and know how it feels to have white Christmas :)

I do not have many Christmas photos taken behind a Christmas tree or with any Christmas deco for the past 2 years since we have our active fur-kids. LOL! Trust me, they brought down the whole tree a couple of times!! I was digging thru my digital photos and found Christmas photos of my Papa Chris and my nephew, Contanstine that I have not scrapped! Phew! So here's another result using the Snow Shoe November kit...

In this kit, it has Echo Park products and they are so easy to use on layouts. The papers and the stickers are just so stunning!! To a point I didn't wanna use them. LOL :)

I wanted to do something special to the tree and I decided to do an origami Christmas tree. I used the Prima papers for the tree. The folds are so simple that you can use them on cards, layouts or even on your altered Christmas projects.

These folds are so simple that I decided to create a card too using Echo Park Papers and the Prima Journaling tag as the background. Wanna know how to do this simple origami Christmas Tree? Let me show you how :)

Firstly, cut your papers into these squares according to the measurements.

You can always make it bigger or even smaller, depending on what you want to create.

Fold the opposite point to the other opposite point. Into a shape of a triangle.

Repeat with the other corners. You should have an "x" in your square.

Next fold the opposite in this manner, into a shape of rectangle.

Repeat with the other corners.

With your square, "pinch" the sides of one quarter of the

"x" to create a triangle.

This is how it will look like from the top view.

Side view.

Fold the flap of the triangle over so you will have two sides of the flap folded down.

Ta daa!! It should look like this.

Stack up all the folded squares in descending orders, beginning with the largest square.

Hope you enjoy this simple tutorial, be sure to reserve the Snow Shoe Nov kit today!!

You may want to email Kirsty, info@pixiedustpaperie.com for the info :)

You gonna so love this kit... oh, trust me :)
