My Stash's Growing!!!

With MWL's suitcase 40% discount given by Sophia (MaMaChan) and Annissa, I grew my scrapbook stash by a lot... hahaha

I bought many nice PPs for the kiddos, Cutterpede Trimmer, EK Success Cutterfly Craft tools, EK Success Honey Bee Scissors, lots of ribbons, albums, inkpads, markers, not forgetting the STICKLES!!! and the list goes on... also bought boxes from Value shop and Daiso to organise my stash. Wahahaha

Also bought DCWV Stacks from Joann.com Spree organised by 2as...

The stacks looks nicer than the pics as above.. can't wait to get my stuffs from KY from the stampsdesires spree man...!!!

Silly me working from home now due to the H1N1 scare in office and forgot to bring back my USB cable so cannot upload the pictures... :(

Wait till I get my cable and I will upload more pics...

Visit to MWL

I recieved Sophia aka MamaChan's suitcase card for 40% discount one morning and I was excited... Excited to go get more Scrapbook Stuffs!!! Thanks SOPHIA!!!

I'm crazy about this hobby even though I don't know much about it honestly. Never been to any class and has never learnt any "techniques" but I just love the completed work.

So... back to my story.... I went down to MWL after meeting 2 mummies to deal for baby items.... Went in and passed Marcus my 3 bags of stuffs that I got (1 diaso, 1 warmer and 1 breastpad) and proceed with my shopping.

Think I was there for about near to 2 hours? hahah

And here's the damage:

1) Bought 6 sets of big alphas, some glitters some not

2) 7 Versafine Cubes, 4 stickles (recommendations from Annissa), 1 bottle of nice flowers, Mini Brads, Stamp Cleaner and 1 glitter mini alphas

3) 1 8"X8" Pastel Cardstock, 1 CutterPede tool set (which I soooo love and also because its PINK), 1 set Glitter Markers, 1 Flower Stamp Set, 2 sets of mini alphas (yes, that's another 2 sets of mini alphas in different colours), 1 nice ducky baby theme rub-ons and (erm... what u call this?) 1 pop up stickers.. lol sorry really don't know what the correct term is.. heheh

4) 4 12"X12" Albums - one for each kiddo (I'm serious about making Scrapbook Albums for them k....)

5) Last but not least, some PP, some die cuts!

Total Damage $339 after the 40%!!!! Hahahah

I'm going to die just paying for my CC bill next month.

Most recent project - Photo Frame for Larry and Christel

My 4th Project for my Beautiful Girlfriend!

My 4th Project has been a very meaningful one.

Regina's big day has been set on 10th of May 2009, Mothers' Day.

To make her big day special, I agreed to sing on her wedding dinner... Hahah knowing that I'm a sotong and it doesn't look nice to bring the lyrics up just like that, I made a board that states the lyrics....



Here it is -

The back of it:

Hope she likes it :)

My 2nd and 3rd SB Project

Honestly I can't remember which one came first but here's my 2nd and 3rd SB Project.

I think this is 2nd cause I was still very bad at SB... Look at the words JOY below... Its still my regret till now... So ugly using the Velvet Polka dots paper to cut out JOY. :(

*Like chicken pox loh*

This was done for Jeral, Joshua's P1 Buddy on 5th Jan in order to present this to him on 6th of Jan 2009. He should be in P3 and he's a very sweet boy whom helped Joshua take his plate of Prata on the 2nd day of school. Joshua was like walking in front of Jeral and I asked him where was his food and he looked back... Poor Jeral was taking the plate walking behind him... Joshua's a tall boy so he didn't look like a P1 boy and looked more like bullying Jeral.. hahah

To Thank him for the effort on the first 3 days, I took a photo of him and Joshua, developed it and went to buy PP at Bukit Timah Plaza to make this for him.

I hope he liked it :)

How I Started Scrapbooking - April 2008

I'm starting this blog to document my Scrapbook Journey:

I started Scrapbooking in April 2008 and it all started for my hubby... and it never stopped since... His birthday is on 15th May and I wanted to find a special gift for him. I've given him most of the stuffs like wallet, shoes, watch, shirts... etc

I saw that Regina has been making really nice crafts and boards and as I wanted a special gift for my him so I asked her to teach me scrapbooking. :) She had gone for a couple of course that time with Brenda (if I remember correctly) and was already creating really nice work!


So in April, I bought the boards from Spotlight and made Regina went Paper shopping with me. hehehe As you know, I have 3 kiddos and how to do the boards without hubby knowing? hahahah I lied, yes I admit that I lied to my hubby saying that I have work commitments and have to stay back to finish some work... hahah and normally stayed on till about 8 plus every evening.


During lunch, I would bring the soft copies of the photos to International Plaza to develop the photos and during the wait, I would also go to the Scrapbook shop that I found there to look for nice stuffs. :)

After getting everything I need, I started working on the board sharp at 6pm and did it bit by bit...


Here's the final gift to him:

As we didn't have any wedding album taken hence I wanted a board to document our time together...

Pics in this board are Shawn carrying Joshua, Pics taken at our ROM, Joshua holding 1 day old Joy, Our weekend Conrad getaway... etc
Pics in this board are Infant Pics of Joshua, Joy and Josiah, Pics taken at the Zoo, Pics of Joshua and Joy's Cheeky faces... etc

I've never regreted a single moment on picking this hobby even though its very expensive... hehehe

More works to be uploaded.
