Another Nook Layout & a Toot!

Happy Tuesday!!!!

I am so happy to see my 2 Nook layouts on TwoPeas Top 10 by votes, my "Being Indoors" and "Remember This" layout that I will share on this post. The Nook kit is really awesome that is why I am so privileged to be part of their team. I think I saw almost all the other layouts from the Nook DT team on TwoPeas Top 10 often. What a talented bunch.

On this layout I have used a photo of Hannah picking some flowers, ain't she cute? :) I edited the photo to make it more desaturated so that it will perfectly blend with the Amber Road pps.

GDT Projects for 2Scrappy Chix Design

Morning to you all! Happy Memorial Day!

I am so happy that I do not have to work today because of the celebration of Memorial Day. I was able to take this long weekend to catch up with some rest. That is also the main reason I wasn't able to post anything lately.

Anyway, I just want to share to you some projects I made using a very gorgeous and yummy kit from 2Scrappy Chix Designs. I was invited by my very gorgeous and talented friend, Theresa Merking, also the owner of 2SCD, to be their May GDT a month ago and of course I immediately said yes.

Look at this jam-packed yummy kit:


Isn't it gorgeous? It actually took me 2 days before I decided to cut them out. I was like a little girl staring on it the whole time daydreaming about it. It is so pretty.

Okay im daydreaming again LOL Here are some projects I made using the kit:

Layout #1: Title: Cherished




Layout #2: Title: I Will Be Here



Card #1: Thank you Card

I made a simple card using the packaging of the Trim&Lace by Webster. its just too gorgeous so i decided to recycle it


I am still currently working on several LOs still since this May Kit is really a huge stash. I think I can still manage to create a mini album and several LOs with the remaining stuff that I have left. I think I have just used 2/5 of it.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your 2SCD May Kit now. Click here to see the details of this amazing kit and its add-ons. I guarantee you that it is worth buying.

Thanks for viewing and thak you Theresa for this amazing opportunity.

LAYOUTS!!!

Happy Monday!!!

I know its been a while since I posted something, I had been really busy at home taking care of my 1yr old DD. Hannah has been sick for more than a week now and I have been bringing her to her doctor a couple of times. Last Saturday we visited her pediatrician again and she was diagnosed to have mild bronchitis. She's now into several antibiotics to make her well again.

For the meantime, I would like to share to you some LOs that I did using Mon Ame's Memories April kit. I know its a bit late but I was so busy taking care of my daughter. So here it is:



And here some other LOs that I finished for the past week:

I hope and pray Hannah will get better anytime soon so that I won't get scared anymore. It was really hard seeing your baby in such pain and discomfort. So till then!

A Technique Class: Painting

Good day!

I would like to share to you my first ever technique class called "Paint Your Flower." This class was held last NSD weekend over at Mon Ame Memories. I am not sure if there is an existing class for this one but I came up with it yesterday while thinking of a unique class about using your paint.

Materials Needed:
1. White Paper Flowers or dull colored paper flowers
2. Watercolor Paint
3. Paintbrush
4. Crop-a-dile or any 1/8 puncher
5. Inkpad
6. Ink applicator or a sponge
7. additional embellishmets like brads, buttons. gems, etc.

Step 1:
Pick some white paper flowers from your stash preferably the ones you think you might not use very soon.



Step 2:
Choose a color combination from your watercolor paint. Choose the colors that will work best with your LO. For my example, I chose yellow, orange and red.

Step 3:
Apply your first colour to your paintbrush and gently dab it randomly to your flower.



Step 4:
Apply your second colour to your paintbrush and gently dab it randomly to your flower.



Step 5:
Do the same to your third colour finally covering the entire flower with paint.



You can have 2 different effects by using your watercolor paints.

If you wish to have precise pattern and solid colours and shapes into your flower, use less water.



If you want your colours to blend with one another, use more water. Do not be afraid to experiment on this one.



Step 6:
Colour your remaining flowers and set them aside for a couple of minutes to dry up.


Note: Be careful when handling your wet flowers because they might tear.

Step 7:
Once it is completely dry, grab a flower and start punching holes on the edge of its petal. Use a crop-a-dile or any puncher set to 1/8 size. Do the same to all the flowers



Step 8:
Choose an inkpad that you can use to distress the edges of your flower. I chose Ranger Distress Inkpad - Tea Dye by Tim Holtz.
With your ink applicator/sponge, gently apply a small amount of ink to the edges of the flower.
This will add dimension and a distressed look to your flowers.



Completed Flowers:


Step 9:
Now feel free to embellish it as you want. You can add brads, buttons, stickes, etc.



Hope you like it! Thanks for viewing!
