Layouts⎪Happy Father's Day *mambi*

I made not one, but two layouts for father's day using my favourite Me & My Big Ideas products. One for my hubs, and for my baby's favourite grandpa in the universe. I didn't make any father's day cards for them because they prefer getting a completed layout more than getting a card which they normally just toss them away. LoL.

Before showing you my layout, I gotta show you what inspires me on creating these two layouts. I am very interested in starting my own art journal, although I am still learning all the techniques and no where to be near those amazing ladies on Sodalicious team. I kept pinning Nulka's art journal pages to my Pinterest board which you could find here.

I am loving the soft colour with some black droplets which I tried to mimic below (but failed big time) LoL.

I added gesso to my white card stock then started adding water-colour to my page once the gesso is dry. I kinda like the cool effect of the water-colour background but I think the big black droplets ruin the page. But it's fine, I still love the page because it features such cute photos of my super baby. I totally miss his chubby thighs!

Cute chalkboard sticker that go with wooden clothespin. Too cute!

Got inspiration for the title from the Me & My Big Ideas paper pad that I was working with.

Then I move on to another layout with mixed media technique too. it isn't visible here because I added white molding paste (with a star stencil from Prima Marketing) on a piece of white card stock.

Here's the close up of the background:

Just a simple title: to remind my boy what he does with the gramps everyday - They always sing and play at the front porch. Thats their highlight of the day, everyday.

To be honest, I have scrapped these two photos previously. But its totally fine to scrap your favourite photos again, and again right? HAve you ever scrap the same photos at least twice? I have even scrapped 4 times for the same photo. Lol. Tell about obsession here.

Happy father's day to all the dad, grandpas, uncles! Have a great weekend!

XoXo,

Layout⎪So Loved *me & my BIG ideas*

I have a layout up on me & my BIG ideas blog today! Go check it out here!

For this layout, I use  the POCKET PAGES™ and spiced them up on a regular scrapbook layout.  I love how versatile these cards is - that you could use them on layout, on pocket style scrapbooking (i.e. Project Life) or even make a card with them!  I also use mambi Puffy numbers with the embellished pastel POCKET PAGES™ cards.  


There are a few favourite things on this layouts:

1. I love all things pastel - pink, blue yellow are my fave!
2. Glitter! those glitter chipboard stickers and cards are simply stunning!
3. Arrow! I like to use arrow to draw people's eyes to the photo.
4. I also like to use numbers to create a flow to my layout - i think most of us are programmed in such a way that you will follow the sequence 1,2,3 when you look at the layout. Do tell me if this happens o you too? 

p.s. This photo is so scrap worthy because it is really difficult to take a nice selfie of three of us. this photo is a tad grainy, a tad blurry but it is super duper precious to me! I also love how baby Ivan lift his left foot up whenever I press the snap button! Maybe thats the way a 9-month-old pose? He is such a natural poser! lol

And here's some close up of the layout:

What Winne The Pooh said makes a lot of sense right?

I scrapped this photo the very same day I took the photo ;)
