I woke up today with such wonderful news!!

I have won the Best Paper Crafts Photography by the Craftsy Blogger Awards!

THANK YOU

for all who have nominated and voted for me.

I truly appreciate each of you for your constant support.

This is such an encouragement & motivation for me to do much better for 2015.

God bless all of you.

Over the weekend, we were celebrating baby Eryn's Full Moon (when the baby turns 1 month old) so I had made this box to put in our gifts for her.

This cute book is actually a BOX! Can you believe it? :)

I have tied the box together with a ribbon to close it up.

Here's a close up on the book cover that I made with lots of flowers and some cute alpha Thickers.

And here's a peek inside on what we got for Eryn. Cute onesies with a card of course. :)

I have used a legacy kit "Nevermore" from SVG Attic to make this book box. Don't worry - they are not gone! :)

They are being reworked right now and will be back on the site once it is updated.

Hope Eryn will remember this when she's older ;)

Today is my final Guest DT post for Two Paper Divas. Awwww... It's the "end" already?

But hey! I have some cute projects to show you to day and they are YUMMY! :)

Oh yeah.. It's All About CHOCOLATE!

For this card, I stamped each of the chocs onto plain white cardstock. Then I stamped it again onto some patterned paper and fussy cut out just the tops. I then adhered the tops to the first stamped image to make it whole! I colored in the wrappers with some Copics.

Then I put the chocs onto some foam tape and decorated the card with some glittered stars, gold Stickles and sentiment from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Next up is a Fun with Fry boxes from The Cutting Cafe.

For the chocolate strawberries, I stamped them on white cardstock, then colored them in with my Copics. The chocolate part - I added some glossy accents to it to give it some texture.

I hope you've enjoyed my projects for Two Paper Divas. 

Thanks to Gayla and Melissa for having me. :)

Do visit them HERE and see what fun stamps they have!

This week's Stamp of the Week (SOTW) over at Unity Stamp is CU-TE!!

Here's the card I made for my post over at the Unity blog.

I colored the bird in with some Distress markers for that watercolored distress look.

This nerdy bird will be in my Project Life album :)

YAY!! It's almost the weekend and it's Hip Hop Thursday again.

I love blog hopping with the Unity DT Chicks coz they inspire me in every way and all of you leave such wonderful comments! 

*HUGS*!

For today's hop, I have a layout for you. 

Surprise, surprise, there's an actual photo of me! *haha*

I'm not a fan of putting myself out there (I'd rather be behind the camera) - but I'm slowly stepping out of my crusty shell.

I have made this layout using the SMAK 12/14 "Moments Like These"

Isn't the stamps awesome?

My layout was inspired by the Sketchabilities Sketch #131

Oh and would you like to know how I made this layout from start to finish?

GOOD NEWS!

I have a video tutorial - made just for YOU! :)

So.. it's still about 3 weeks to Valentine's Day but I'm starting early :)

This week for Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe blog, we get to play around with the 2015 Calendar printable set.

So, I printed out the February month and made a 6x4 card for my Project Life.

I had resized my calendar to fit my card and I added some floss and some cute stickers too!

Happy scrappy week ahead! :)

It's my 2nd Guest DT post for Two Paper Divas and today's set is just lovely!

If you missed my first post for them, you can click HERE

Today, I have used the "Tea Cups" set that comes with some stacking tea cups. I love the sentiment that comes with it!

I stamped and colored the pretty cups in with my Copics and then added it on to an embossed cardstock - which I have spritzed with some Prima Color Bloom spray in Cotton Candy. I also added a mini bow and some enamel dots for the pop!

"Sometimes, it's just one thing on top o f another".

True, isn't it?

But hey...

God is our refuge and strength,

-Psalm 46:1

Cheers! :)

Let's take off!

Today at the SVG Attic blog, I have a 3D project for you from their kit "Ready for Take Off" 

OH yes! A 3D Plane!! How cool right?

I loved that this plane is HUGE - its wings span about 11 inches long.

I used bright colors and even stucked some stickers to it's sides.

Oh and did you know the propeller can actually MOVE?

This plane would be awesome for a boy or even your MAN :)

When I got the email from Melissa & Gayla from Two Paper Divas - I was excited! 

They wanted me to be their first ever Guest Designer to start off the New Year and ... of course I said YES :)

Thank you for such an honor!

Two Paper Divas has some awesome clear & digital stamps. Their designs are fresh and simple - perfect for any occasion. On their blog, you can find many ideas and inspirations to make a scrappy project.  

For today's card, I have used their Flower Silhouette clear stamp.

I used some Faber Castell Gelatos (Raspberry // Metallic Melon // Mango) on the stamp - which I then misted with some water before stamping it. For the background, I spritzed some Prima Color Bloom spray (Soft Teal // Summer Sky) to create the splatter effects.

 I then embossed & stamped the sentiment from Unity Stamp "Wish with Your Heart" kit. To finish it up, I added a border with some Gelatos with more water to create a softer edge.

I am going to be their Guest Designer for the next TWO Mondays (*YAY*!) - so do come back and take a peek on more fun scrappy inspirations :)

Here's my post over at their blog. Do send them some love :)

So, just the other day, I was on Instagram and noticed a few of my Unity Stamp DT chicks have been drawing some doodles with the hashtag #ascdoodledays. 

So I got curious and went and digged around. (I've been watching too much CSI)

And I found that there is a Doodle Days: 365 Art challenge by Angelica Suarez. 

Quick fact about me, I do not draw and am not good at it. So I thought, since I want to improve my drawing - why not take up this challenge and start drawing my own doodles?

And so - I went out to get a blank notebook. Found this cute flowery book. Perfect.

Did my intro page. 

And .. I'm ready to DOODLE!  I know I started late, but hey - better LATE than NEVER. :)

This week's prompt is: Favorite Frozen Treats

For my daily doodles, follow me on Instagram: @scrappyscrappy_

or 

look for these hashtags

#ascdoodledays #scrappyscrappy #ssdoodle

So if you're up for a challenge - let's doodle together :)

Happy January my dear friends :)

It's the start of a new year and yups, one of my scrappy goals this year is to make more layouts - so here I am with one today for you.

Since it's a New Year - I thought it'd be nice to preserve and reminiscence our Wedding Day (not too long ago) and be thankful to God for such wonderful times together and many more to come. :)

I have used the All Hearts and Love {kom 1/13} and stamped the background with some love strips. I added some splatters using Prima color bloom sprays (Summer sky/Iris/Pearl white).

Don't you just love these bubble talks?

BTW, those flowers in the photos were all arranged & made by my dear friend Rebekah. She's awesome that way.

Oh, and did you see my purple heels? :)

My layout was inspired by this months BRAND NEW Unity {be inspired} challenge

Come play along with us coz...

I have a super cute project to show you today!

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe blog and we can make anything we like today.

So, I chose to use the Sewing Machine set to create today's project :)

Oh yes! It's a mini sewing machine! 

Not only it would be a pretty decor, it's a usable decor too! There's a matchbox in the sewing machine where you can put spools of thread/ribbon there. The spool is also from the kit.

I placed a fabric right underneath the "needle" to make it more realistic :)

Don't you think this mini spool is so cute?

Now my mini sewing machine is sitting nicely on my new shelf.
