Layout⎪ You're Mommy's Squeaky Toys *Let's Get Sketchy*

I am up on Let's Get Sketchy blog this week again by creating a layout using this pretty multi-photo sketch. And yes, I cheat a little. I stick to this sketch and created a single photo layout ;P

More layout using Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection, and I hope you are not bored with'em yet!

I basically created this layout using whatever laying on my craft table - Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm papers, Prima Flowers, Die cuts, Martha Stewart Paint and Elle's studio tags (that I left over from doing my PL spread)

I subsitute the extra two photos with the cute Jars that I fussy cut from one of the lucky Charm paper.

My son always squeak and squeal during his first month and thus my hubster jokingly says that baby boy is my squeaky toys.

Thanks for looking. Do hop over to Let's Get Sketchy blog to check out other pretty projects using the same sketch for more inspiration. XoXo.

Layout⎪ Wild Thing I Love You *Let's Get Sketchy*

I love this week sketch up at Let's Get Sketchy although I hardly scrap more than 1 photo layout. Love that I am doing something a little different from what I normally do. That's why I love joining skecth challenge as it does push me work out-of-the-box and out of my comfort zone. 

Here's the sketch:

I love how the title is placed right below the photo and also the little embellished top right corner. 

Here's my take:

As you could see, I still couldnt get over the pretty papers and embellishments from Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection. Love that the embellishments are more suitable for baby boy layout, yet it has my favourite colours - Pink and yellow incorporated. The background is done with Martha Stewart Acrylic Paint, I think it looks pretty awesome and it is actually easy peasy. I will definitely share the tutorial on creating faux watercolor background soon.

And some of the close up: 

The horse sticker is too cute and I have been saving this for a suitable baby boy layout!

Using Versafine Gray ink here to create a softer look. Something different from my routine, as I always stamp with only black ink ;)

I am still not done with the sequin craze! I got this pretty pearl white sequins from Spotlight and I have been using it everywhere on my layout, cards and project life.

Thanks for looking!  I hope the awesome sketch does inspire you to create a layout or two and remember to post it up on Let's Get Sketchy blog. Do hop over to see the awesome projects by the rest of the ladies! XoXo.

Layout⎪ I'm NOT Perfect *Let's Get Sketchy*

I have a layout up on Let's Get Sketchy this week. Do hop over to check out other inspiration from the rest of the LGS girls.

This is the sketch for June Week 1:

Sketch designed by Jenessa Franco

I love the big circle element in this sketch yet I do not want it to be too overwhelming in my layout. So I machine stitch the circle as background. And I also wanted this layout to be simple and not heavily embellished, so here's my take:

Believe it or not, I was creating this layout when I was really moody. Hence this layout looks very 'sad' and I am totally fine putting this layout to my album. I am determined to document my life, be it happy or sad, all go into my album. And I am surprised how this layout turned out to look kinda gloomy, despite having cutesy stars and bright pink.

Using Studio Calico June kit. Recently i started deciding what color combination i want for my layout, then decide on the element (square, heart, circle, triangle etc) and I will start creating, and NO looking back. I even managed to scrap a layout in 30 minutes when I have my Mojo.

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.  

- Marc Jacobs

Thanks for looking. And I do hope the sketch either inspire you to start scrapping a layout. Remember to check out Let's Get Sketchy blog on the layouts posted by other LGS girls. XoXo.

Project Life⎪ Week 18 & Hip Hip Hooray!

Hello there! I keep forgetting to update my latest Project Life Spread on the blog. And yes, week 18 is my latest spread and I am officially 3 weeks behind. But no worries, I have printed all the photos and just waiting for my Citrus Twist Kits to arrive and I will start working on it till the wee hours.

Another spread using unusual color scheme ;) Orange is definitely something new on my PL

I am loving those orange fuzzy rub-ons by Basic Grey. Tooo took cute! And I realize my spread is getting boring with photos of Ivan only as I was still on my confinement period in Week 18.

love those papers from Webster's Pages - Color & Composition. 

A simple stitched title card with wonky stitches 

Lovely, happy mail from my Instagram friend - Rebecca

Loving the sunburst card from Webster's pages. So glad that I had only 1 more kilogram to go to reach my pre-natal weight.

After sharing my Project Life spread, I am proud to announce that I have been accepted as both About A Boy & Let's Get Sketchy design team. Woo too~ two more DT to add to my resume ;) Do check out their blog for more sketch and theme challenges.
