FABULOUS SCRAPBOOKER ~ SNEAK PEEK


I love it and I'm sticking to it! ... I mean ... follow her inspiration ... not scrap-lift ... but keep track ... cos I can never get enough of her creativity.

This is one scrapbooking artist that I've come across that I'm so inspired that I wish she was my "si-fu" {master}. LOL!


For now ... savor this scrapbook layout. When the right time comes ... I'll reveal who she is.

Don't bother to check my links :) she's not there yet!

HONORING WOMEN

Today, Scrap-n-Crop is honoring a woman in their CROP-mmunity Blog.

They are featuring Jasmine Say {Malaysian}. Now...this lady is working full time, and yet, she has time to create cards and sell them. But more compelling her creation goes to a good cause: the mission funds supported by the Kuala Lumpur Baptist Church (KLBC). Another Believer with a good cause.

So go see her creations and support her cause.

Support Jasmine Say's Keepsake Journal @ etsy. You can also see her other works {journals, cards, altered keepsake boxes and many more} @ her blog My Scrap Studio.

LOVE BLOOMS FOREVER

I finally finished this layout. I had 2 photographs of my sister and her husband. One that was taken in the 70s, the other just at CNY this year.

Decided on a split layout but just couldn't get a grasp of what I should do after laying out the retro top. After some suggestions from H, finally finished. I didn't want to add anymore to the retro part because the polka dot papers and the bellbottom fonts were already quite loud. {Maybe next time when I get more feel about this I'll add something}.

Actually...I don't know why I used the green cardstock as background though...

I tell my friends this is a funny layout. I don't know why. But I guess I managed to get the feel of what I wanted, although I'm not sure it's a layout that appeals to the public eye :) But I'm not bothered about it! LOL!

TFL!

Used Dymo clear labels for the verse {above}



Printed these fonts {BellBottom.Laser} cos I wanted the 70s feel.



Used gel pens to draw small hearts on these chipboard alphabet stickers.

CHRISTIAN ALPHABET POSTER



Learned about this Christian artist through a scrapbook newsletter. His name is Mark Lawrence.

He did the above poster. With each alphabet letter, he had a verse below it.

Go to flkr HERE. And you will see each letter close-up, how it's painted and the verse he used.

Wish I could own a poster like this. Truly a work of art.

ONLINE LESSONS

Today, the teenagers in Jonathan's school {whom I have been teaching how to blog} attempted a slide show using www.slide.com facilities.

They did it. I'm very proud of their fast learning.

Here are the links if you want to read their stories. Some are really interesting entries:

  1. Bing Yao : http://www.bingyaoyao.blogspot.com/
  2. Kin Yong: http://www.bingyaoyao.blogspot.com/

ARE YOU THE FAVOURITE PERSON OF ANYBODY?

This is really interesting. Never thought if I'm anybody's favourite. But I know....I'm God's favourite....and so is everyone else in HIS Kingdom...cos HE LOVES US! {John 3:16}

And one thing's for sure...Jonathan and H are my most favourite people....followed by a whole lot of family members!
