Memories

While I was expecting, Jessy and I met up for a quick bite and had taken this shot together. I love this pic to bits and was waiting for the right moment to scrap it. And true enough, that moment came by real quick! lol! When Jessy scrapped this pic (a layout which got featured at the SC member gallery (you go girl! :)), I thought it'll be fun for me to scraplift this talented lady's page using the very same pic of us together!

And that's not all, Stand a chance to win SC gift card if you scrap lift the beautiful layout made by Jessy which  you can find HERE :) Remember to post it at the SC Member gallery.

Here's my take on her original layout..I ain't good at scraplifting so I really do hope I've done justice to her layout..

Believe Mini Album

Hello there dearies! I hope your week has been fantastic so far...mine has been a lil crazy and under the weather..have been juggling real hard (havent slept in 48hrs!) between managing my newborn and elder baby (yes I still call her my baby though she's soon to turn 3!) who's unwell 
:( 


I hope Missy A gets better soon cause I can't take to seeing her look so sad and weepy..she refuses to take her meds (prob cause it tastes nothing like those chocolates my sister secretly gives her) and that makes it all the more stressful for me..as for bub...well...let's say she keeps me awake..all nite :) which is a good thing..in a way.. cause I can scrap! :) So I really shouldn't be complaining isn't it?


Anyways..here's a mini album I started making last year and stopped halfway during the pregnancy..lucky, I've managed to complete it..yaays!! :) I will be sharing the pages with you lovelies soon enough!

Hello There!

You might be wondering where I had disappeared to all this while...almost 9mos to be exact :) Well, I've been on a hiatus as I was preparing for the arrival of my lil bundle of joy..my second bundle of joy that is :)

I had to take a break from crafting as the pregnancy was making me extremely tired, and it didn't help that I was also working at the same time...yes you read right..WAS working...lol!

So here I am, back to being a SAHM (my fav job!) which will leave me with more crafting time! yays to that! I will be sure to stop by your  blogs soon (which I've missed visiting!!!) sorry I didn't drop by earlier as all I did during the term of my pregnancy was sleep..sleep and of course more sleep..lol! so much for hibernation :)

Well to share a lil bit about my newborn..she's a lil baby girl :) born on the 6th of April..I now have two princesses in my kingdom and I can already picture all the fun the three of us are gonna have (those many crafting, manicure and pedicure sessions...bliss I tell you! :))

Anyhow, I have a comeback project to share with you'll which I'll be updating on my blog very very very soon! so do stop by again yeah! :)

YSS Upcycled Hairband Tute

Heya! Today's post is to share the fun things you can make using your regular scrapbook stash! needless to say, scrapbooking supplies are so versatile, you don't need them just to create layouts or cards,the can be used for to make really fun accessories!

And I did just that, using my Maya Kraft Doily, handmade flower embellie, some glimmer glam, and some ruffled ribbon!

The supplies that you will need : glue gun, Ruffled ribbon, handmade flower embellie, hairband, Maya Road Kraft Doily, Spritzer

First, using a glue gun, glue the ribbon down the entire length of the ribbon

Next, dab glimmer glam all over the doily and once it's dried, using a spritzer, spritz water to scrunch up the doily

Adhere the handmade flower (you also opt to use Prima flowers ;)) the the doily


Scrunch them up. This is what it'll probably look like

Adhere the newly formed flower on top of the hairband

and voila, the finished product! I have also added a couple of flowers from my craft supply for a more feminine and full feel ;)

Materials from YSS: Maya Road Kraft Doily, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam, Making Memories Trims - Orange Ric Rac

Other Materials : Glue gun, handmade flower, paper flowers, hairband
