Inspired by...

They say inspirations can come from anywhere. Somedays it's the colours I see, sometimes it's a pattern I observe. Today, I would like to share a layout which I did which was inspired by Studio Calico's Main Page. I scraplift the sketch and use some of the elements which inspires me from the page...

Here's my take!

Thanks for dropping by!

It's Magic...

This is one of my favourite paper from Maggie Holmes Flea Market collection. I don't quite remember when was the last time I worked with a full pattern paper for a layout. Actually, I scrap this photo sometime ago... in fact, it's one of the first few layouts I did when I started scrapbooking. You can see it here :) You will notice some difference in my previous & current layout.

It's amazing how our conscience & feeling is reflected when creating. I added a lot of glitter to this layout... because glitter is like magic dust to me. How nice if glitters are really magic dust that could just whisk our problems away... Lots of fussy cutting & I love how the flowers are "falling" down gracefully...

Pop up dots are always a must. I love layering and creating dimensions with pop up dots.

Updates & A Card...

How has the new year been for you? The past week has been quite a tough one for my family, as mum was admitted for more than a week due to pneumonia & we are prepared but feared the worst, due to her existing conditions. We prayed and try our best to keep ourselves hopeful. Finally, after a series of test, a minor op & many days of worries, she finally has clearance to come home. Although, still recovering with fever lurking daily, she's happier to be home. Thank you all who knew who kept us in your thoughts & prayers.

So having all that happening, & work piling up, I choose to remain positive. Despite having said so, I can't help but having so many thoughts in my mind. So every time I feel like I have too much to think, I would sit, take a break at my crafty area & work on Project Life.

So last night, I was doing my thing, flipping through paper pads & trying to make some progress with Project Life, & all of a sudden I have the urge to make a card! A Chinese new year card to be specific… Digging in, I became more excited & worked on the card. Who knew Maggie Holmes & Crate Paper could look so Asian? I'm am surprised myself :) I love how this card turned out!
Thanks for dropping by… Hope you have a great week ahead.
