Wishes

Hello dear friends,
here's my new layout ....
This time I'm using a mix of Acrylic Paint from Schmincke, Dylusions Ink Spray, Primary Elements Artist Pigment, Martha Stewart Glitter (Fine), Color Box Fluid Chalk Inkpad, Sakura Gel Pen and some gesso to make the background come out, with a mix of Finnabair Clear Stamp from Prima Marketing and Pink Paislee Clear Stamp.
I chose my paper from My Mind Eye's, since I'm a big fan of them.
Here's more details....
I picked WISHES as a title because I really like this sentiment ...
    "If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special you are to me."
I found it in Pinterest while browsing for a perfect sentiment for this layout.
This layout I made for four challenges 
first the challenge from Beyond Grey with the theme BINGO... (BGC#52 - BINGO!)
I have used dots, butterfly, mists and sentiment in my layout.
second, it's for another challenge CSI have for last week Case File No. 124 here's the theme....
I have used all the colors required, have Butterfly, Glitter, Flowers as the evidence and Inspire Words - Wish as my testimony....
third is the challenge from Cards und More with a theme LOTS OF FLOWERS
and last but not least is the challenge from Just Add Ink with a theme - JUST ADD WATERCOLOUR
I really hope you enjoyed my new layout.
Have a great day everyone, and thank Beyond Grey, CSI, Cards und More and Just Add Ink for this challenges.... :)

Amazing Girl

Hello dear friends,

Here's my new mix media layout...

Amazing Girl



This layout I made for my little girl. She's an amazing girl. She always made me laugh when I'm sad, she fills my emptiness in life with love just because she's by my side. To be with her through the day, by her side is my simple pleasure. Her silliness always makes me laugh. I guess makes everybody laugh. Somehow, she's got her way of making people happy.

I have used 7 Dots Studio Paper called 9th Waved, our chipboard of course for the wordlet, frames, gears and film frame. The stamps that I used are from Kaiser Craft, Prima Marketing "Finnabair" and Pink Paislee. Then I spray the layout with some Emerald Green acrylic paint, Glimmer Mist Raven and Pearl to add the shining pearl effect.

This time would like to join the challenge from Berry71bleu with the theme "Simple Pleasure",

the challenge from Sketchabilities with the sketch below, except instead of using it normal, I flip the sketch over....,

I would like to join as well the challenge from Beyond Grey with a theme "BINGO"


I have used the third line "Green, Strips ( layers of papers behind the photo ), flowers and mists,

also the challenge from 7 Dots Studio with the theme "Natural Beauty" using their paper from 9th Wave.


and the challenge that Scrap Plezier have with this sketch



Hope you enjoy what I made as I did enjoy making it....
and thank you Scrap Plezier, 7 Dots Studio, Beyond Grey, Sketchabilities and Berry71bleu for the challenge....

Football Place

Dear beautiful people...

how are you? I'm doing great, and love everything about blogging now.... or would say start to love everything about blogging. Well, I'm not really a 'chatty' person, hope you don't mind.
But I really hope you could and would enjoy my page here.

This time I was following a challenge made by CSI (Color Stories Inspiration).
They're site is beautiful. You should try and check it out.
The challenge was two weeks ago and it was Case File No.122.
You should register and be a member to be able to see the case. It's pretty simple.

The challenge was to use all the scheme colors below, with at least 2 clues of evidence, one testimony to choose from the list with the layout matching the sketch at the bottom.


Was pretty difficult challenge for me, as one, the colors wasn't my favourite at all.
And two, I've never really scrap using a sketch. I'm really a newbie in everything I guess... :)

Well, here's come the layout....

This Picture is Worth a Thousand Words


                        
I didn't make it to the "Most Wanted" List, but somehow manage to be "On The Watched List".
WOW! Didn't expect this but thank you CSI for making me one.

Beautiful

Hey there,
I started getting to love mix media and making layout ever since I joined Anna Dabrowska's class last February. She is always gonna be my inspiration.So here's my layout...
This time I used two layers of white papers, since I thought I would like to spray it. 
I used also a lot of gesso and structure paste (fine and rough) to make an interesting surface. 
Here's all the details....
I have used the title 'beautiful', flower stem and square frame from our chipboard.
I stamped in a few places using Prima Marketing "Finnabair" - Library.
I used Bubble Gum and London Blue from Dylussion Spray, then I added more touch with Maya Gold Acrylic Paint and Lumiere to make the color come out with similar colour.
The journaling I had it visible under the photo.

I would like to try joining a challenge that Once Upon A Sketch do for May.
The journaling theme is "Anything Goes..."  and base from this Sketch
I would like to join Blue Fern Studios in May sketch challenge with the sketch below.
And Off The Rails Scrapbooking with chipboard as a challenge.

Thank you Off The Rails Scrapbooking, Once Upon A Sketch and Blue Fern Studio for the Challenge.

Welcome to May

Hello everyone...

Well somehow it show me how wonderful spring is so the nice ladies with beautiful dresses trying to celebrate it.

For this challenge, I will try a layout with "a dream of having a beautiful Life Journey...."

LIFE a wonderful journey

Thank you Pixels and Paper for the challenge



Birthday Card for Cards und More Challenge

Hi there again,

will it be great to be able to do everything and you could do it good?
Yes, of course, it will be, but before getting there, there muss be a lot of efforts and practices to do.
Making cards, it seems easy, but it is also sometimes could be difficult.
What color you should take, what paper you should use, what kind of embellishments would make the cards look good... hmmm, I guess it wasn't that easy after all. 
Anyway, I decided to make it simple. I use white, grey and black with flowers of course to make it more merrier...
Here's my Tilda's card...(eventhough I still need to learn and do a lot of practices, after all, they said, "practice makes perfect.")


I used this layout below as a sketch for making the card that I got from following a challenge from Cards und More Challenge number 105

Smile

I'm not always sure how to make a layout, I could say that I am more an expert in Mini Albums. That's why sometimes a bit too scary for me to do it.
But lately, I'm having fun doing layouts cause, it turns out, it wasn't that scary at all....
I am trying to join one of the challenge blog from ARTastic May Challenge. The theme's about "Mother and Child"
Amarys by Robert Hagan
And my layout for the challenge is...


I used My Mind's Eye Paper Kit. Spellbinders Donna Salazar, and again our chipboards.....
Hope you like it... thanks for stopping by. 
Hugs, Merry

Step By Step

I made a step by step photos to let you know a bit how did I do one of my journal page....



1. Choose your paper
2. Combine your paper using masking tape
3. Create a background using spray mist, either 'dylusions', 'glimmer mist' or perhaps your own spray with acrylic paint
4. Choose your flower stamp you're going to play with
5. Repeat process no.3 for your flower and leaves
1. Choose your embelishment ( in this case I use RNT17 Chipboard tree)
2. Cut the Chipboard tree into 6 pieces as shown in the picture
3. Embossed your flowers and leaves with transparent embossing powder and if they're ready, cut 'em and distress them with walnut stain

1. Arrange your lay out for the page
2. Keep the balance between left and right page.
3. Choose your sentiment

1. Finished!
2. Glue it to your journal, in my case I use double tape
3. You have another nice page for your journal...


Journal Pages 2

Here's more from my journal pages.
All the chipboards that I used are ours.

"Dreams big dream"
"Friendship"

"To stay Happy"

"Spring"

Journal Pages

Since I join Finnabair's classes, my point of view about making projects started to get wider.
I started to fill up the journal that I got from Finnabair's workshop.
Here's the journal covers...
Front Cover


Back Cover


Imagine Workshop



Last February 2014, I joined a class(actually 4 workshops) from Finnabair.
Do you know her? Of course you do. But in case you haven't met her in person...
she is a great person. She is really one talented artist that I've ever met.
Her works are amazing... I LOVE them, all of them.
Here's one of the workshop that I joined. Imagine Workshop.



Still can't believe that I would be able to join her class. And if I could have a chance to join her class again, I would... definitely.
