Fly Butterflies Fly class!

yes! i reminded myself i must do a post on the Fly Butterflies Fly class @ made with love by Adeline.

it was an amazing, fun, awesome, scrappy-licious class! i'm not kidding, it totally kept that smile on my face for the rest of the day. i felt so lifted, so de-stressed, and so happy (: enjoyed myself to the maximum with eliz and of course the teacher herself. so cool to see her in person ;p

there were lots of precise cutting that really gave me so much practice, tried misting on canvas (i need more practice on the controlling factor ;p) and also painting using acrylic paint. most of all, i really wanted to do more layering so this class was really that start i need! amazing how sometimes we overlook the different parts of a single piece of patterned paper when there's so much gem to be cut and used to create something beautiful and personal (: can't wait to attend more of Adeline's classes!

so let the photos do the talking. all the LO designs credit to Adeline, Made with Love's Designer:


in total, we created 1 canvas and 2 layouts in the span of 3 hours-ish!

Scrappy Stash for Sale!

I am in the midst of de-stashing! I think I've got stuff that I bought or given to me but haven't been using or won't be using. So decided to put some of them up for sale. Check out the "Scrappy Stash for Sale" page tab above! (:

Will be updating with more stuff soon once I do a proper job of packing at home.

Okay, back to my paperwork! (am blogging this frm the office heh). Managed to clear 5 reports, thank God for that!

just a little bit more to go! + tumblrspirations #2

almost done with my attachment report. so once that's submitted on wed in school, i'm only left with 1 assignment and 1 exam paper and its hello degree, good bye SIM university! ;p thank you all for counting down with me, i don't feel so alone (:

okay so anyway here's some tumblrspirations from my recent prowl online:













managed to find the ink colour (versafine vintage sepia) i need for an mwl class and grabbed a box of distress ink in tattered rose. its one of those out of stock colours i can never find. mine's the second last box btw, found it in clementi's new papermarket outlet. very crowded when i was there but happy nonetheless that i got what i need. i'm trying to collect every colour of those distress inks hehe.

okay, back to my report writing now. and weekends will soon be over gah. ohwell, at least there's my fly butterflies fly class to look forward to and some kboxing with secondary school buddies! (:

God bless your week!

birthday tag for the birthday girl Elizabeth!

made a birthday tag to go along with elizabeth's birthday pressie!







i really love tags. i think they're so versatile to be used in every way. should really stock up on more. bought 2 jumbo sized bottle caps from MWL yesterday, will be working on them soon. was inspired by Melissa's bottle cap scrappy art! here's her blog: http://www.blissfulscrap.blogspot.com/ (: thanks Melissa for being an inspiration!

Glimmer De-Mystified Class by Jasmine Low @ MWL

Yay! finally attended a scrapping class at Made with Love! its my first class at MWL btw, great experience and lots of fun experimenting with glimmer mist techniques using tattered angels glimmer mists.

under Jasmine's guidance, we experimented with different misting techniques on plain tags. She gave us notes too to bring home. All these tags were later compiled into a mini glimmer mists techniques book. Did a layout too with mists (ofcourse!) and some MME's Stella & Rose papers.

am a happy girl today! paid for my fly butterflies fly class as well, eliz will be joining me this round yay! we will definitely be having lots of scrappy fun! there's going to be painting, inking, layering, stamping etc incorporated in the class! excited!

okay so let the photos do the talking (: thank you to those who have been leaving me with so much encouragements and affirmations. really blessed to have joined this scrapping community. learnt so much and experienced so much in a short span of time. thankful (:

















am a reader of winnie chia's blog and i saw her in the same class. was shy to say hi, dont ask me why. gah. i need to be a little more extrovert in situations like this. ahh!

have a blessed week! (:
