His love never fails.

Hello guys! It's been such a long while since my last post and my absence from all social platforms! Been really busy preparing for my finals! So, this layout is especially close to heart because when I was weary and stressed, He lifted me up and constantly reminded me of what His love is and really means. Hope this layout encourages you as much as it did for me!



Too many leftover alphabet stickers that can't seem to form any words? Here's what I did - I made it into a background pattern! This was also inspired by one of Merdrey's layouts!:D





I super heart this effect from my typewriter!!!:D:D 







And so I decided to add a layer of netting over it to sort of mask the alphabets further to create an even subtle look.

Products used:
-Crate Paper Flea Market Collection
-Prima flowers
-Thickers alphabet stickers
-Tattered Angels mist - raspberry
-Studio Calico mist- gold

Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D:D

You & Me

Heyyie guys! Good day to all! I am so honoured to be part of PaperHaus Magazine!! So glad to be working with an awesome group of girls!! Here's the sketch of the month for October and here's my take:

I painted the background with white acrylic to give it a wash-off effect so as to add more contrast!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed doing it! Please show me some love over at PaperHaus! Come join in the fun!

Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D WHEE!

10 minute Craft Dash Challenge!

Heyyie guys! So thankful to be able to participate in this challenge at Pretty Pink Posh!

Here's my take on challenge #19! This I must say is highly stressful! I don't usually work under pressure so I was literally argh-ing at the 8th minute because I am only halfway done! And the rest was just crazy sticking wherever there's an empty space! HAHA! 

Time Completed: 10 mins 15 secs

I decided to distress the sides of the cardstock to add more dimension to the card! 

Supplies used:
-Crate paper Fourteen Collection
-Timeless Twine strawberry cupcake twine

Come join in the fun!! Play around with the color combo of red, blue and yellow! And head over to submit your project at Pretty Pink Posh and yummy prizes to be won! 

Can't wait to see your wonderful project(s)!!

Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

To celebrate Mother's Day this year, I made this layout titled - Signed, sealed and delivered! Here's the gift to my mum!

I wanted to convey a likened feeling of receiving a parcel and that was my inspiration in making this layout! This gift is my way of expressing my thanks to my dearest mum for all her care and concern all these years. I know she would love the print on Crate Paper Maggie's collection, yet I have limited supplies and have no choice but to work with whatever I have! To my pleasant surprise, I managed to use all my scraps from this collection! Again, how I love her collection!!!



Here are the details:





And I made a bow to complete the 'parcel' look!:D




Here's a small giveaway I have for my blog!

Homemade Chocolate Cake!

Heyyie! For the first time, I have decided to upload something non-scrapbook related! That's because I am super proud of the chocolate cake I(single-handedly :P) baked today!:)

Truth be told, I am never a big fan of desserts and never enjoy eating them! However, I love the process of baking! How weird right! It's like cooking and not eating what you cook! But I do certainly find it really therapeutic baking! A good break after my 7 work-day attachment I guess! Taken a toll on me but still able to cope from the fatigue!

So, for KY's 22nd Birthday, I baked a cake following Nigella's Feast Receipe but did quite a bit of changes, especially the icing sugar and sugar in general! Her recipe is WAY TOO SWEET for my liking!

Here's a link if you wanna try:

So now, here's many pictures I took! Sadly, I was in a rush and didn't change the camera settings. Ain't too happy with the shots!:X 







I played with Mummy's mixer and I love how consistent the mixture turned out!







For decoration!



Woo I love how sharp this blade is! Because of it, I managed to cut really straight across for the layered effect!











Have fun baking! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!

Happy 1st Anniversary!

Heyyie guys! Sorry I haven't been very active on my social media lately as I was busy juggling with attachments and the recent passing of my grandma. It was quite difficult for my family, especially my mum, who is very close to her. Her presence is dearly missed and may she rest peacefully.

On a happier note, April rings the bell of not only KY and my birthday, but also our anniversary! How time flies and whoa, we are together for almost a year now and I can't thank God enough for bringing us together. To celebrate our first anniversary and for Mei Li's Paperie August Challenge, I made this layout using my all-time favourite Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Collection and inspired by stencil-ed Pinterest layouts I saw!

Recently, we did a photoshoot by Serene and I can't thank her enough for her time! Of all the photos taken, I am drawn particularly to this very casual and candid shot. I particularly like how natural and happy we look and it wasn't like a pose-and-shoot kinda photo!

Enjoy! *Photo credits to Serene Lew*









I created the stencil background using my Cameo software! Drop me yr email in the comments section if you are interested to get this free cut!:)















Sorry for the huge photo spam! It's because I love this layout so much!

Products used:
-Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Collection
-AC white cardstock
-Maya Road Pomegranate Pink
-Robbin Nest dew drops
-Washi tape, twine, doiley and Prima crystals

Till my next update, take care and God Bless! Happy scrapping to all!:)
