Altered Book Box and Mini Album

Hello!! how's your week?? Me very very busy!!! Alot of meet ups, alot of crafting, alot of baking!!! Yap!!! I started to bake recently after a long long break!!! Yesterday, I baked 2 loafs of strawberry breads. Hmm.... but the texture are more like cake!! ha ha... But its tasty!!

Today I want to share about a book box that I made awhile back in February!! I love this box!!! Hope I can get more of this box to alter!!! Anyone any idea where can I buy?? I got it from a friend.

"Treasure" Book Box and Mini Album



I painted it with a coat of turquoise acrylic paint, followed by a coat of crackle medium and a final coat of white acrylic paint. Then I misted it with glimmer mists. Added the mixture of glass bead gel and texture paste over a brick stencil at the top and bottom edge of cover. I love to use chipboards. Hence the clock and gears chipboards are added, painted over with texture paste. The zipper head from Prima acts as the handle to open the box.



Here's the side of the box. Also added a chipboard shape.



The inside of the box. The mini album inside is done with the same technique as the box. Each pages are made using chipboards and painted same way. I haven't add any photos inside so I will share again after I add.

I hope you enjoy my project. More posts on other projects are coming up. Do keep a lookout too.

My Little Shoebox Cloud Passport Case

Hi hi. How have everyone been??? I had a busy week. My girl's ballet exam is coming soon and her ballet teacher added extra practises (5 days a week). Oh my!! That's a lot, considering that her school tests are within these 2 weeks too. So me rather busy coaching her in her studies and bringing her to and fro practises.

Well, today I want to share about the Cloud Passport Case, one of My Little Shoebox new lifestyle product.

I love this cloud background pattern. It has always been my favourite pattern. And it really gives me a holiday mood.

The size, about 6 by 9 inches, for this passport case is just perfect for me.

I can put my passport, travel journal or art journal, pen, inkpad and stamps inside.And there's still space for stickers, lip balm and other stuff. Other than being just a passport case, I can also use it as a hand carry bag for shopping and outings. The PVC coating is a plus too. Living in a tropical country where rain is quite frequent, having a waterproof case is just right for protecting my documents. I really love this case and I can't wait to bring it with me for holiday trips.

So do go here to get this lovely passport case and other lifestyle products. Have fun shopping!!

Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Love+Heart

Hi, friends. February is a month of celebration and love!!! First, there's Chinese New Year, followed by Valentine's Day. Here at Frosted Designs, we are challenging you to use the word "Love" + at least one Heart on your projects.

Take note that there's a change at Frosted Designs. Instead of having a weekly challenge, we are moving into  2 challenges per month, meaning you have 2 weeks to complete your challenge.

And here's my take:

"Love" Tag




For this tag, I used Sizzix, My Favourite Things dies and embossing folder. The Chevron ribbon is a gift from a dear friend.

So how do you plan to celebrate Valentine's Day?? For me, I planned with hubby to go to my current favourite tart shop, "Fruit Paradise" to eat their delicious tarts!!! Been craving for it for weeks!!!

Well, I hope you like my project. Will be quite busy for the next coming week as Chinese New Year is just next weekend. So I might disappear for a while. Busy busy visiting friends and relatives!!!

But let's not stop crafting!!! I hope to finish up one of my acrylic painting soon. Will update here once I get it done. Do join us at Frosted Designs for this fun challenge.

Thanks for dropping by.
