Layout For My DT Assignment ♥

Lately, work has taken up most part of my life and it seems hard to find the time to sit down and create. Not to mention I have a fussy 10 month old baby to take care of. Ramblings aside. Today I have two layouts to share (sorry that I have to squeezed two layouts in one post). The first one was for Scrappin Studio using the Studio Calico November kit. This month's kit is one of my favorite by far and it is not surprised that it was all sold out...including the add-ons! Here I used mostly Dear Lizzy 5th Frolic collection.

Next up is a layout for Jillibean Soup. Please head on over to the blog for more inspration by the DT. The complete list of supplies are also mentioned there. This photo of my daughter was taken by Josie after her first swim date with Lucas (Josie's son). Looking at this photo reminded me of how fast time flies. Abby has grown so much now and I can't believe this feisty baby will turn one year old soon. As I always said, my baby is not so baby anymore....lol.

I hope you enjoy your day! Wish me luck in surviving yet another battlefield at work.

Elves At Work ♥

Busy! Tiring! Overwhelming! Perfect words to describe my current state of mind. With the street market drawing near, we are working really hard to get our stuff done. Dark eye circles are started to form under my eye too. We pray and hope that the effort we put in to the street market will pay off.

In between all the busyness, I made a layout for Scrappin Studio blog using the Central High and Style Guide kit by Studio Calico. I admit that I was kinda lost when I started this layout. At first I wasn't really keen on working with the red and yellow letter stickers by Amy Tangerine. And there's this hexagon chipboard which I had no clue on what to do either. I sat down and stare at them for a good 15 minutes before deciding to just go ahead and use them on my layout. Surprisingly I love how it turned out and glad that I step out of my comfort zone for a little while. Then I made a careless mistake by placing the ink cover right on top of the paper. So needless to say, I was left with an ugly patch of black ink right in front of me. I was devastated and when I finally get to calm myself down, I found a solution. The splatter of black mist was a result of my carelessness ♥ So next time if you happen to encounter the same mistake as mine (touch wood), grab a bottle of your favorite mist and rescue your project.

Coffee Addict

I made this layout for Scrappin Studio blog using Studio Calico September kit. Although the design is super simple but somehow I like it. Less is more? Lol. You can check it out here. Sorry lovelies, I have to go....a fussy baby is calling me :)

Cards For Scrappin Studio

I have two cards to share today. Both are made for Scrappin Studio blog using the Studio Calico September kit called Central High and add-on 1 called Style Guide. If you are interested in any of the kit, please visit Scrappin Studio store.

Honestly I love most of the pattern paper in this month's kit. Some are just too beautiful that I feel like hoarding them. Can I? Both cards are a bit different from each other to reflect how a simple use of pattern paper can create completely two different styles.

Do come back for more Scrappin Studio projects!

Hello

I only realized that this card that I made for Scrappin Studio was not posted on my blog yet. Super forgetful I am! My memory has gone from bad to worst since I gave birth to Abby earlier this year. There were a couple of times where I completely forgotten about turning off the stove or where I put my car key.  Sometimes I even forget what I had for lunch. Bad right? I know.

This page was created for Scrappin Studio using the Studio Calico July kit and it's my last project for the month of July. My next assignment would be in September. If you ever noticed, I love to add faux stitch to both my cards and scrapbook page. Of course the main reason is I don't have a sewing machine so the next available and reliable tool to go for would be my tracing wheel. I also created a very short tutorial for Scrappin Studio blog and thought I will share it here with you today.

All you need is a tracing wheel which you can get from a sewing store and an ink of your choice. I usually use either black or dark brown. Am too chicken to try other colors.....

First, ink your wheel a couple times on your ink pad......

Next, roll your tracing wheel onto your project. It could be on anything. Letter stickers (as shown below), borders, etc........

Voila, faux stitch in under one minute ♥

What Big Eyes You Have

I am back with another layout made for Scrappin Studio. More details on the page and products here. Sorry for my super short post today. Do come back again as I have some pictures to share with you :)

Design for Scrappin Studio

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Jaime, the owner of Scrappin Studio asking if I would be interested to be in her design team. To say I was thrill is an understatement! If you don't already know, Scrappin Studio is a local online store that sells Studio Calico's monthly kit. Yep, you heard me alright. Studio Calico monthly kit sold locally :) Now you know how crazily in love I am with Studio Calico kits and to get to work with the kits for three months is absolutely a dream come true :) My term starts this month and I get to play with Elmwood Park (main kit) and Four Square (add-on kit). This is my first page of the month....

This page was created with combination of both kits but mostly the main kit. Currently, I have this thing for negative die cuts/punch outs and if you noticed, I add them almost on every of my recent projects. They are what I considered trendy right now. Too bad I don't own a cameo....otherwise I would die cut anything and everything to fill my page.....no kidding :) I cut five pieces of paper in random sizes and punch little hearts through them. Love! ♥ I am working on my second page right now and will share it here soon.

Meanwhile, do check out Scrappin Studio store here and their blog here.
