Teascape.... and other layouts

First of all... a very Happy New Year to everyone!!! I'm only 10 days late but I figured we're all still in the new year mood :D.

Admittedly I have been seriously neglecting my scrapping table for the past few months and only managed to do various layouts for DT assignments. It had been such a busy end of year for me that I just didn't feel like scrapping for a while. That means I did not managed to reach the 100 layouts target for 2010. Oh well.. I can always try again another year.. but not this year though. I'm giving this year a rest.

Ok, on to my layout which I did manage to do in December, using everything from Bo Bunny's Mamma-razzi collection.







Photo was taken at the Boh tea plantation in Cameron Highlands. I love the scenery at the plantation. It felt like another world for me, it was so breathtaking . I especially love the run ons from the collection. I used that and cut outs from one of the patterned papers to frame the photo and adding some dimension to it by popping up the cut outs.

On another note, remember the layouts I did for Sketches 2 Scrapbook? I've just been informed by Anam Stubbington that we are allowed to share the full layout on our blog. Both were of course, made with sketches from the Sketches2Scrapbook iPhone App So here's the first one, titled By The Beach




I inked the originally pink Making Memories alphas that spelled out 'beach' with Orange Marmalade distress ink and added some Vintage Photo distress stickles to give that sandy texture.



Materials used:
Patterned papers: Basic Grey (blue), Glitz Designs (brown). Chipboard alphas: Making Memories. Chipboard elements: Creative Imaginations. Journal cards & stickers: Making Memories. Flowers: Prima Marketing. Ribbons and pearl: Prima Marketing. Sticker alphas: Delish Designs. Others: Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads (Vintage Photo, Spiced Marmalade), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Peach Delight, Starfish, Sea Glass, Tim Holtz Distress Stickles (Vintage Photo) and cork sheet.

Some Updates and Other Stories

First of all I am glad to be back in the virtual world. Since the massive flood that swept northern Malaysia last month I have been so busy with moving and coming back home and cleaning the house. Yes, cleaning the house has been an absolute hell!! But it's all done now and everything is back to normal, and now they are forecasting that there will be a second wave. I just hope that they are wrong.

Anyways, during my 'disappearance', Anam's Sketches2Scrapbook has been officially launched for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It's exciting news and two thumbs up for Anam and the rest of the designers!! Here's some peaks from the iTunes store









As I mentioned in a previous blog post, Anam invited me to make two layouts for the app. I'm only allowed to show sneak peaks of my layouts over here but if you've got the full versions you can view them on sketches #25 and #82.





So if you have an iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, get this application from iTunes. It's so worth it. The full version is selling for only $4.99 or you can try the demo version for free which has 12 sketches and layouts.

At the moment, Anam is very generously giving away a few codes for the full app. So hop over to Sketches2Scrapbook to join in the draw. Good luck!!!

Target: 100 layouts
Done: 71 layouts
To do: 29 layouts

Sketches2Scrapbook

Ok, I have the best news to share!! You know when you're starting a layout and you're out of ideas? Isn't it such a chore to flick through a stack of magazines or sitting in front of the computer for hours browsing for ideas? How would you like to have sketches on the go and samples of layouts too?

Sounds interesting? Well pretty soon you'll be able to!!

Anam Stubbington of Twisted Sketches has come out with this brilliant idea of creating a sketches application for iPhone, iPad and iTouch users and later on for all other smartphone users. It's called Sketches2Scrapbook. How cool is that??!!


Some time in early August, Anam emailed me and asked if I wanted to take part in a secret project. I said yes even though I didn't know what it was all about. A few days later she emailed again explaining about the application and I was so glad I said yes and be a part of this awesome project.

I've done 2 layouts but they are not to be revealed until the program has been launched which will be in early November. Please go to the WEBSITE for more details and updates.

Here are some sneaks which I took from the site..




Cool huh? I can't wait for the launch!!!

S2S also have a Facebook page which you could 'Like' and a Twitter page which you can follow. So whatcha waitin' for?
