YSS : Amazing Mini Album

Hey there! I am back to share with you a mini album I created for Yourscrapbookstash.com using the beautiful Authentique Paper : Uncommon collection. I seriously adore the colors. Pretty much into grey lately and I am glad that Uncommon collection has grey. As I was deciding what photos to use, suddenly recall that I actually do not have a wedding album. I have done one but that was entirely black and white. Immediately decided to do another album with my wedding photos. So without further ado, let me share with you what I created and I hope that you like it :)

 Thanks for dropping by and hope you will grab this collection in the store because it is just so stunning... they look so beautiful in real life!

Never Change

In life there are many changes. Lives around us can change. People we love can change. But I thing I truly believe is a strong friendship/relationship, if they are kept well... it will take a long time to change or it will NEVER change!

I am blessed with many friends in life and one of them is my bestie, Wati. She is generous in many ways and she is such a fun person to be with! The best part, she is a scrapbooker too. How awesome can that be! This layout definitely talks about our friendship & how this friendship will last for a long time. We have a strong friendship foundation - that is faith & trust for each other! What makes it even sweeter, our hubbies are good friends too. Their only son, Adam is our god-son! Isn't that wonderful? And it all started with meeting Wati in a scrapbook forum... and the rest is history...

For the Want2Scrap chipboard, I dressed it up using the Smooch Spritz and I love the color, it looked rustic and glittery too!

Totally loving a little fall theme on this layout... don't you think the colors resemble fall?

That English roses are prob my fave image. I have been using them frequently if you notice *wink* Hope you love what you see here because I always have so much fun to use Donna's products to create. They are very simple to mix and match around :)

First off, I would like to thank YOU for taking the time to drop by at the blog, Facebook, Instagram & also friends texted me to give me your best wishes on my new manufacturer DT gigs. Still pinching myself for getting 2 AWESOME news in a week :) I am blessed! 

Ok, I would like to show you what I got for my DT kit from Your Scrapbook Stash. It was super yummylicious! It's a mixture of Crate Paper: Random, Echo Park: Happy Days & We R Memory Keepers: Travel Light + May Arts & Maya Road goodies. I almost fainted when I saw this gorgeous kit and someone actually asked me where I got the kit. Lol. 

Present to you our official travel buddies...

Last Friday to Sunday, Mr Handsome & I went to surprise our beloved friend, Wati & her son, Adam at Singapore. Her hubby, Chris was on our side. Lol. This time round, we went all the way to her office to punk'd her. It was priceless to see her reaction! But it was a good catch up :) Missing them already! 

It was a fruitful trip because I got to meet my lovely gf, Emeline and also my mother-to-be buddy, Radha at Singapore too :) Not forgetting all the yummy food we ate... slurp!

Next, it's a 2 page layout that I created using Crate Paper: Random collection. I love this collection to bits! This is my second time making a 2 page layout so please be kind to me :) In the photos, are my cousins and my Popo. Oh yeah, you can check out the sketch for the above layout HERE!

Lastly, here's a card I created using the Echo Park: Happy Days collection. This is such a pretty collection! I love the happy-retro-colorful look.

Happy Fall Card

When I got to know that we will create "Fall" theme this time round, I was kinda intimidated because in Malaysia we do not have Fall season. I have seen this season on the internet, in the movies and magazines. I really do love the fall season, hope to experience it someday! So I decided to show you how I created this fall card using Donna Salazar's fab products + with a pop-up tree on the inside :)

Here is the tutorial of creating a fall pop-up card...

First you need a card base of this size: 30.5cm x 11cm. Fold them into half.

To create the pop-up base, cut a 13cm strip of cardstock, then score it 1cm from the edge & followed by 3cm from the edge (ie: the gap between the 2 scores is 2cm) on the both sides of the strip.

Fold all the scored lines and adhere it to the card base just like the picture shown.

Remember to spritz the smooch to create the red background.

To create the tree, I used Donna's corrugated board as a trunk. Distressed it with Clearsnap ink for a natural look. Once you are done, paste it to the pop-up base.

Here I used dies to create my leaves and one of the leaf die is from Donna's collection called Rose Creations. Layer all the leaves until you are happy :)

Now let me show you the completed card and also close up shots from all angles...

The exterior of the card

The interior of the card.

Hope you like this pop-up card and I really hope I did justice with the fall theme. Do share with us if you have created one! We would love to see :)

DIY Notepad

Today I am on MC because I am so under the weather. Feeling just a hint better now but do hope that I will recover by tomorrow. So today I am gonna keep my post simple and sweet :)

It has been a while I last created a notepad for myself to scribble or to jot down notes/ideas. So I decided to make one. It's pretty simple if you have a Zutter Bind-it-All. Get 2 hard chipboards or Donna Salazar's corrugated board as covers, Owire, cut plain papers and you are good to go. Guess what, you can get most of the mentioned above at the Scrappin Studio store, awesome eh?!

Here's my new notepad using the September Main kit "Glee Club"...

Side view

I have also created pockets that I can fill them up with tags. Why tags you may ask? I love to leave sweet notes :) You can always stamp it or use scraps to decorate them. Or  I can store any ideas that may pop up like magazine pages, flyers, etc.

Hope this notepad will spark some ideas for you to do a DIY notepad for yourself or a small token for your friends :) Have an awesome Sunday!
