Oh, Snap!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday. I've created another project for 2Peas NSD Challenges. (I swear this is the last challenge I'm going to do for this NSD) This one is for the first challenge, Focus on Photos. The theme is to use any photo-inspired products, which I have a few in my stash that needs to be used for they have been there for almost a year. I had my Sydney trip photos printed out in Instax format, and I had to layer them on top of one...

2Peas NSD Challenge

Hello, happy Friday everyone!  I have to be honest, this week I don't think I did anything important at work. There are times the work seems to be like a burden and I don't know what to do with it. Then I got the flu bug which makes things more miserable. So I'm really really glad it's Friday, and I'm not working tomorrow, so this long awaited weekend is so much sweeter.  I've made another layout for 2Peas NSD Challenges, using one...

Me, Dolled Up Version

My scrapbooking topics aren't the usual kids (don't have any), holiday (don't celebrate much here) and family/friends gathering (don't have much pictures, if any). What I scrapbook about?

And other odd stuffs such as my miniature collection, some food I ate, and other topics that are self-centered (a favorite card I made, my crafting process,...

Shimelle's Third Challenge: Mist!

I bought the Heidi Swapp Mustard Color Shine on my last craft haul. It's the first mist that I bought and I ♥ the color and the shiny effect it creates.

I don't think I sprayed it evenly and it created blotches all around.  Anyhow, the overall effect...

National Scrapbooking Day 2013

(I know I'm late, still..)Happy NSD everyone! It's a long weekend here at my place due to the General Election, and I thought I will be spending all my time to craft and craft and craft. But the truth is, we were all so nervous about the GE results that I ended up stuck in front of the TV until I had have enough of all the BS. It's kinda happy sad weekend. Happy because there are many NSD challenges to inspire me as well as all the great prizes they're offering, sad because the disappointing results of the GE. Well, enough of politics. Two...

My First 12x12 Layout!

Happy 1st of May! I just came back from a short trip with my family few days ago and still feeling exhausted. Spent the whole afternoon sleeping, with no regrets! Thought I should do something 'meaningful' before the day ends, and so here I am! I completed my first 12x12 LO in early April. It took me a few days to visualize my project and I was afraid to take the first step, you know, wanted to be 100% sure about it. After 3 days of...
