Remember

Good morning!!

Here is my last layout for Far Flung Craft and I have to say that this is my absolute favourite of the six and so I saved the best for last. :D

Half of the items I used in this layout comes from typical scrapbooking manufacturers, but the other half are those I found at the local haberdashers or RM1.99 shop like the frame, butterflies, lace and doiley papers. I know these items are not acid free and all but I've never really cared much about that. This is art and creativity is limitless!!





I inked the frame with alcohol ink so that It wouldn't be too gold!! I'm always happy to use alcohol ink because I very seldom find the need to use any.




Love the look of the ditress stickles on the chipboard swirls. I actually inked them with distress ink (Broken China), and then run them over with the same colour of distress stickles. Love it!!

For this layout, I used the Peranakan line.

I thought I'll post some photos from CHA of the FFC booth. Pictures are courtesy of Sharon Chan, a DT with FFC.

That's Sharon on the right in front of the booth. I can see 3 of my layouts and half of 2 from here. Can you?

This is Kristy Harris, the owner of FFC. Now I can see two of my LOs... 2nd row from the left, LOs 1 and 2 from the top.

Here's another LO of mine, top left layout. The one next to mine is Jessy's and that black and red canvas with little squares on them, that's Michelle's.

Don't Forget To Dream

Hey all!!

I know I promised I would post my Far Flung Craft layouts everyday but it's been so hectic these last few days that I hardly had any time to sit in front of the computer, let alone to scrap. Hubby is back from the hospital after his accident and although he can move around, his right arm is still in a sling and as right being his working arm, it's awkward for him to do much of anything with his left hand. Plus Nadiah is down with fever, coughing and runny nose and is out of school for the past 3 days. So I've been running around like a crazy woman getting them comfortable and having a fighting match when it's time for medicines!!

Anyway, here's no. 5 of my FFC layout that was featured at CHA Winter 2010:









I used papers for the Chinese New Year line for this layout. The chipboard swirls at the corner of the photo I painted them with crackle paint. I love the wavy Bazzill cardstock border which was originally white but I inked it with Mustard Seed distress ink pad and inked the edges with Vintage Photo.

Well.. that's no. 5. I will see you again tomorrow for the last layout. Till then.. have a good day!!

Materials used: Patterned papers: Far Flung Craft. Border cardstock: Bazzill Basics. Journaling card: Maya Road. Chipboard swirl: Maya Road. Alphas stickers: American Crafts, Making Memories. Others: TH Distress Ink pads, TH Distress crackle paint

Beautiful Sunset

Good morning, everyone!!

Here's sharing with you my fourth layout that was showcased at the Far Flung Craft booth at the recent CHA. It's called Beautiful Sunset and I used two patterned papers from the Meiji line.





It's a simple layout where I cut out the flowers from the papers and stacked them on top of each other with foam adhesive to make it more dimensional. Added a few pieces of doiley papers which I inked with distress ink and layered underneath the flowers on the corners to make them 'pop out' a little more.

The title is made of raw chipboard letters from Maya Road which I painted with acrylic paint and went over with Ranger's Glossy Accent.

I have two more layouts to share tomorrow and the day after, so stay tuned. In the mean time, have a good Sunday, everyone!!

Materials used:
Cardstock: Core'dinations. Patterned papers: Far Flung Craft. Chipboard alphas: Maya Road. Chipboard diecut: ScrapFX. Diecut owl: K&Co. Journal card: from the kit. Others: Ribbon, blings, acrylic paints, daoiley papers, TH Distress Ink pads

We Scrap

Today is the third of my Far Flung Craft layout. For this one, I again used patterned papers from the Peranakan line. I just love the colours.









The photo was taken on the day when Aida Haron came over to KL and gave a class. It was a super duper day and after a whole day of scrapping, we though it would be great to release some tension by snapping pictures.

That actually reminds me of the mini album we made in class that's still half done and I'd better get to completing it.

Basically this is an easy layout with cutting, inking and pasting. But I really like how the green, yellow and pink came together and blended really well with the photo.

Thanks for dropping by. I'll post another one tomorrow.

Materials used: Patterned papers: Far Flung Craft. Alpha chipboard sticker: American Crafts. Inks: TH Distress Ink pads. Flowers: Prima Marketing, Making Memories. Blings: Prima Marketing. Journaling card: Collage Press. Diecut wordings: Daisy D's.

Happy To Be Me

Ok as promised, today I'm posting the second of my layouts for Far Flung Craft that 'made it' to CHA 2010.

For this layout down here, I used papers from the Peranakan line. I have to say that of all the collections that FFC carries, Peranakan is my favourite.










Decided to scrap about myself in this one. Something short and simple and sweet. The title says it all. I am happy to be myself, and grateful too!

Wherever Life Takes You

Some time in January, I had a phone call from Michelle and she informed me that Kristy Harris from Far Flung Craft had asked her and a few other scrappers to come out with layouts or altered items to be displayed at CHA 2010, which just ended a few days ago. And guess what? Michelle then asked Jessy, Nadhrah and ME!!! How cool is that?? Even if I couldn't be at CHA, my work will be showcased at the FFC booth. What a splendid opportunity!!

I can't thank both Kristy and Mich enough for this golden opportunity and I hope that FFC did very well at CHA in Anaheim.

I submitted 6 layouts, all using beautiful FFC patterned papers. I will post those layouts one day at a time because I don't want to bore you with picture overload, and also it'll give me a reason to post something on the blog everyday.. ;D

Here's the first layout:









For this layout, I used patterned paper from the Meiji line. Love the colour combo of black red and yellow. Reminds me of fireworks.

I went with a pull-out journaling mainly because it's a long quote and I didn't have anywhere else to put it. I once read an online newspaper article written by one Brad Carmean with the same title and was very taken with one paragraph. It goes..

"Life could take you on a smooth ride or a rough one, across the sea, close to home or six feet under. You just don't know where it will take you. So just work hard on what you can control and don't worry about what you can't. The fact that you don't know where you will be down the road is why you need to enjoy everything you can now, no regrets. "

So I decided to adopt that paragraph as the journaling. You can read the whole article HERE.

I'm off to bed now. Thanks for dropping by...
