Altered Tags for a Reunion Party

Hello everyone!!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was a blast because we had a mini reunion of sort with my ex-schoolmates. It was a fabulous night with great company, yummy food and rocking karaoke. It was great to see those I haven't seen in almost 20 years.

As a little token for the night, I made some altered tags for my friends. Just a little something to remember by.







There were four designs and I made about 25 altogether. Two designs had backgrounds painted with acrylic paint and the other two I used Maya Road Mists. Then all were embossed with either normal embossing powder or distress embossing powder.

Everyone was happy to get their personalized tags and I'm just glad that they love it...

These deserve 5 LO points.

Target: 100 LOs
Done: 55 LOs
To do: 45 LOs

More Techniques

Ever since I first started reading Tim Holtz's blog, I've always wanted to produce a whole bunch of beautiful tags that I could just look and admire again and again and again. So a few weeks ago, I decided to start one. I was actually trying out some new techniques and decided on the tags with the instruction of the techniques on one side of the tags. Thus, while looking through the beautiful tags, I can flip through to the other side and always be reminded of how I came out with it.

I've done 18 so far, using materials such as TH Distress Ink Pads, Perfect Pearls, UTEE, melting pot, acrylic paints, TH Distress Embossing powders, ordinary embossing powders, little squares of mirror, StazOn ink pads, rubber stamps and lots of embellishments.

Here are the tags:























There are still a few more products that I have not tried my hands at: alcohol inks, distress crackle paints, acrylic paint dabbers and lots more. I can see my shopping list getting longer and longer.. *ka-ching ka-ching*

Tag for Dina

Made this a few weeks ago for Kak Dina from Brunei when she came to KL.

Sorry, the picture is not so clear. Took this picture off Dina's blog coz I forgot to snap a picture before giving it to her.

Crop Parties

I've been really bad at updating my blog. The crop parties were a week ago and only now am I updating. The first day was at Scrappingville and the second was at Scrap-n-Crop. I have been building up the excitement for more than a month to attend the cropping. It was my first actual cropping session and the best part is that I get to meet the ladies whom I've only been chatting to through the forum. Liza, Wati, Sal and Deedah came all the way from Singapore. We all just hit it off as if we've known each other for ages. I guess when you've been following a person's scrap work, you tend to know the person even more.
Ladies, it was great meeting up with you all. I hope we can do it again soon!!

Admittedly, I didn't take that much pictures. But you can view some here and here.

We did a lot of projects and one that I'm particularly happy with was the 4x4 canvas work. It was my first try on a canvas and I simply loved it!!!





More of the LOs that I did during the cropping at Scrappingville










At the SnC party, we only made 1 LO although I didn't actually finished it at the crop because I was too busy shopping :D.








All in all, i had a great time at the parties. Though there were some glitches but the company more than made up for it!!

Friendship Puzzle Tags

Here's another one of the friendship gift album for my friend. But in this case, it's actually a mini puzzle tag album. Puzzle pieces are courtesy of Nadiah's old puzzles which are painted, stamped and embossed. These are really small, with the largest piece measuring slightly less than 3x3in.

N Tag

Ok here's the full picture of the previous sneak peak. An N Tag which I made for Nad. Just a simple tag with embossed image, flowers, blings, vellum butterfly stickers, a strand of ribbon and a chipboard letter N.
