Quilling on Canvas

This is more like a scrapbooking style, but with a lil quilling twist on it. Each quilled piece was carefully coated with sealant so the colours would stay, and it'll be a bit of water-resistant. I use rub-ons for the words and loving the effect they have on canvas.

I'm not really good at quilling roses (they always ended up being slightly skewed LOL), but I kinda like these roses hehe.

The canvas is 8' x 8' in size and suitable for wall decoration. I's originally up for sale, but now I'm thinking over, and thought maybe I should keep everything for my new studio hehehe (I'm greedy that way).

The Home-Made Scrapbook Album (sounds like Muffin, isn't it? :P)

I've talked a bit about Shera in my previous entry.  So here's the mini scrapbook album that I made for her. Truthfully, after few failures of making good scrapbook pages, I was a bit worried that I couldn't do the album according to her requested details (which is like a page long hehe!). Aaannnnd I was a bit worried that I couldn't make the album 'young' enough, since both Shera and her friend were like... half my age! (okay, a bit less than half :P).

She wanted kanzashi flowers, and I made three of them using sugar paper, and I really like the result! I designed the pattern paper (yes, from scratch), and used Words to decide on the colours. Since I tried to avoid huge patterns, I decided to tone down the prints, and use repetition of stripes, boxes, squares, frizz etc as the patterns. And they worked! There are 16 pages altogether (including the front and the back). I made the tags using chipboards and printed words, and decorate the pages with ribbons and flowers.

These were all the pages that I've made, but minus the flowers for the inside pages (since I've added them at the very last minute and  wrapped everything up before realising I didn't take the final pic!

I'm very proud to say that all the items used in the making of the scrapbook were bought from normal stationery shop, and I printed the papers, notes and tags, and none were bought from any craft stores (including the ribbons!).

Sincerely hope Ryhana would love the album. :)

LQ Challenge 6 - Colour Blocks

My take for Challenge #6.



(It's Fiqa's Sports Day last month and I went and took some pictures)

I don't have time to do paper scrapping lately so I switched to the fastest way to scrapping - digital layout. I love Photoshop and I love playing with its elements. I normally use frames for my photos, and I love overlapping pictures (if you've seen my other digital layouts, you'll totally understand that -will try to put them in slide shows and post them here l8r). So, this is my first time using blocks in digital layout, and there's no flower involved haha.

LQ Challenge 5

I'm going back to Terengganu tonight and will be back to Shah Alam on Wednesday. There are few things to settle back home and I'm worried that I could not finish up Challenge 5 on time if I plan to do it at the very last minute. So, I spent the whole evening today finishing up my layout. It's a simple layout, with a twist of its own. :)

Please bear in mind that I'm not a scrapbooking person, and merely a newbie. I found it hard to scrap a layout since my cup of tea has always been cards. I feel a bit awkward having to scrap bigger sizes cardstocks, so as a newbie, I simply incorporate lots of cardmaking elements instead of scrapbooking.

Well, I enlisted these in Challenge 4:

1. Cardstock (wajib ada nih...) 2. Wrapping paper (ganti pattern paper sebab masih newbie buat lo) 3. Scissors (gunting biasa dn scallop) 4. Adhesive (dry and wet untuk lekatkan kertas n embellishments) 5. Flowers (biasanya buat sendiri untk embellishments)

And Ida said we can use pen as well, so that's definitely a relief!

So here goes my take for Challenge 5:

(click to see the journalling)

it's a layout without a picture. Ok la, I put ice-cream as the main highlight of the layout. I ado desserts so much so this is one way of appreciating them. :) I use cardstocks, wrapping paper (the dots in the middle of the flowers & the wordings), scissors (normal scissors and scallop), adhesive and hand-made flowers. Oh, and pen for journalling and the stems.

Then I decided to make a twist to the layout, so it'll be a 2 in 1 layout. Hehe. So I fold the layout, and turn it into this:



.. because I plan to give the layout to a friend, and after she's done with the yummy chocolate, she can keep the chocolate wrap in her scrapbook. So it's a fully utilized layout!

And since I'm a chocolate addict too, I can't control myself and decided to take a bite hehehehe. a I'll buy another one to replace later. ;p



Sweet!
