scrapped: My Bangkok First

well ... it was my 3rd trip but it was kak Liah's first.
so there was this "need" for something special to commemorate the small bunch of her photos that i held on dearly.
after the sketching, this happened.
.
.
.

 " bind it with a ribbon. that'll look nicer, " called mrs. Mom.
thus, the chosen Webster's Pages blue ribbon, which happened to be kak Liah's favourite colour too.

i used mostly Authentique's Celebration kit for this album, with other brands of embellishments.

i saw that the beloved receiver loved this when she received it.
so i'm glad.
i'm really, really glad.

scrapped: Nyai Datin's 66th

on Challenge Me Happy's latest challenge, they called for handmade embellishments.
i immediately thought of rosettes [since my pinwheels still needed more experience] and a photo taken during a grandaunt's birthday dinner.
and the Simple Stories Documented kit that i had recently purchased.

after a sketch and plenty of paper-sifting, this happened.

supplies
Simple Stories Documented + Happy Day. Simple Stories Life Documented Stamp. Versa Color Stamp Pads. Imaginisce Hot Gem Pearl.
 it's amazing how the Simple Stories kit matched.

scrapped: A Wedding Guestbook 2

these [best] photos are what were put together for my partner's cousin's wedding guestbook.

.
.
.


 the gold fonts were given by the bride.
since it wasn't enough to spell their names out, i put together a short quote.
i'm so loving those Prima flowers.


 this was my first time putting a ribbon banner together. 
i used a twine, stapled the ribbon into place and cut the length.
and yummy, yummy, yummy Prima butterflies.


 a wedding guestbook shouldn't be without flowers.


 plenty of white space for the guests to write their blessings down.


 Echo Park's Country Drive, which was supported by Daiso brads.


 Hambly.
those flowers fit right in.


 fussy-cutting with Echo Park Victoria Gardens.


 i couldn't resist putting up a rosette.


 nothing can go wrong with Prima Say It In Crystals.
with their yummy flowers and butterflies.


 the next time that i do something like this, i will have 'LOVE' in different languages placed in all frames.


 Detail Upclose - Frames


 "love"

banner craze?


love this My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose paper.
oh sweet, sweet colour.


Paris - Je t'aime


with so many pages to spare, what's one without rosettes?
I LOVE ROSETTES!!!


Detail Upclose - Rosette Cluster


the first page, completed with two sides of clusters.


. . .



no photos, yes, thus that became the challenge for this project.
i re-did all the sketches within one day, numbing my brain in the end.
it was fun, even though it was rushed.
i never thought that i could pull it off but there were so many factors that helped me along.
one of it was that mrs. Mom stopped nagging.
yay for her!!!
