Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Recipe Challenge

Hi again!! This week at Frosted Designs, we have a recipe challenge. Yummy!!!

Let's look through your stash and include at least 4 of the following in your project:

• rubons
• ribbons
• brads
• stickers
• glitter
• the colour purple
• flowers
• butterfly

Sounds fun, right!!! I had a amazing time altering a plastic pot bought from Daiso last year. Used Graphic 45's (our sponsor this week) papers for the butterflies and tag. 

This is the pot before altering. Loved the designs on them.

I painted a small part of the patterns on the pot with purple acrylic paint (coated with gesso first). Then use multi medium to glue down the Martha Stewart punches leaves. Handmade all the flowers and butterflies and  viola, a pretty and easy flower pot is created!! Hope this is in time to inspire you to create for your mum as Mother's Day gift.

"All things grow with love" potted flowers:

Well, so head on over to Frosted Designs to join in the fun!! "See" you all on National Scrapbook Day!!

Thanks for visiting!!

Living Canvas Workshop

Good day to everyone!! Thanks to my friend, Michelle Looi, I got to know about this mixed media workshop by Christy Tomlinson. Love her creations!!! My Living Canvas Workshop is a six week course that teaches us to tell our story through art. I can't wait to get started. But first got to get started on the soul searching exercises and journalling for each week prior to the workshop.

I believed in my heart that its not an accident that I got this chance to attend this workshop. God is so good to me and I know that through the pre-workshop exercises and even the workshop itself , I will learn more about myself and be strengthened.

Before I even knew about this workshop, I made an art journal cover using Christy Tomlinson's She Art stamp and supplies. And after knowing about this workshop, its like this journal is made for it, ready to be used. I love art and I love creating!! Wish I could share more but for now, got to get started on the journalling part.

Before I "leave", here's the art journal cover that I made:

Happy scrapping!! Thanks for visiting my blog. Oh, and a reminder: National Scrapbook Day is this weekend. Do watch out for some fun and challenges and prizes at Frosted Designs and at My Little Shoebox. Thanks!!

My doodling mini-album

Good day to everyone. So sorry that me been missing for past few weeks. Been so so busy catching up with projects and family gatherings. I hope I can share more often from now on.*Fingers Crossed*....

Today I want to share about a "mini-album" of doodling ,that I have said afew months back that I will do. Well, its not completed. Only manage to do about 8 pages. I have been so distracted by other projects that this album has taken a back seat. Well, here are the pages that I have manage to complete. It sort of tie in with the recent American Crafts paper line, Amy Tangerine Sketchbook. Well, maybe next time, I will do shortcut way and just use the AC papers and some paisleys stamps. ha ha... But I do so enjoy the process of doodling. Oops.. think I said too much... ha ha..

Here are the pages I doodle:

1) Dots and Circles:

2) Swirls and Vines:

3) Flowers and Leaves:

4) Paisleys:

hmmm... not sure whether you notice: the last page of the paisleys is not 100% completed. Left out some parts uncoloured and the title is not drawn. well, hope I can complete this album as soon as possible.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that me been in mixed media craze recently. Have been so hooked. And just started art journalling. Got lots to learn but its so fun to paint and get inky!!!! Will share more in the next few days about my art journal.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Oh, one more thing to share: National Scrapbooking Day is coming!!! Do join us at Frosted Designs this Saturday for a fun and exciting day filled with challenges. See you then.
