What's Up?

Me?  busy with work,  busy with a new business, busy learning about cosmetics.

Seriously?  I am serious. I am swamped with work, mommy duties that scrapbooking and reading took a back seat.  I know, I know.   I used to make time for scrapbooking  even if it means no sleep for me.  But,  I can't let my hemoglobin level drop and have dizzy spells  when I am not pregnant.  oh how I wish,  I am pregnant  when I get some dizzy spells.

Anyway,  here are two lay-outs  using What's Up by Basic Grey.   I am always intimidated to play with Basic Grey.   I guess  I have to conquer that fear  and explore and be adventuruous.   The two lay-outs have both misting and masking  and some stamping.  And somehow,  still within my style.  Oh,  what is really my style these days?  I am exploring and trying new techniques.

Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend!!!

Swirls of Fun

Its hip to be square!

The Design team were asked to make a project using squares.  Yes!  I can finally try grid design. I have been wanting to try this but whenever I try,  I always tend to shift on my style.
I used the Loops and Scoops collection for lay-out which suited best our visit to Universal Studios Singapore.  Of course,  I have to add some misting or else,  I will be confused if I made this lay-out. 

Here's a close up on the embellishments and details:

Have a great day!

Lay -outs and sketches

I love making lay-out from sketches especially when I got stuck on a page.  Sketches are my quick solution especially if they are from Pagemaps!

Don't you just admire Becky's sketches?  Oh yes I do.  I started using them since I started my scrapbooking - I know some of my pages almost look identical. Oh well!

 Flipped the sketch above for my "out of this world" lay-out:

Cardstock - bazill, patterned paper: Best creation Robot R 006, R005, R002, R007, robot chiboard, fancy pants chipboard, making memories paint and opal dusts.



and  flipped this sketch for my lay-out below.
