Gayn's You & Me Album

What a wonderful surprise in the mail today.. Already the cover has blown me away.

I always wondered how we could the cutesy dimensional stickers from Jolee's. Now Gayn has showed me a simple way to use them.

Album: Bazzill 5x5, comes with 2 page protective sheets and 4-5 pages of white cardstock.

Tim Holtz's patterned papers with plane.


Yes, album is so pretty that Nadira couldn't resist but to be in the picture also.

Even the back of the album cover is pretty. Good job, sis!

Penang Album

Making Memories 6x9 album. This time, my inspiration came from Ali Edwards. I combined the original, came with the album, 6x9 page protectors with 7Gypsie's 6x6 page protectors.


Instead of having the rub ons and embellishments on the layouts I had them on the page protectors! The effects are very much like an acrylic album. I like the idea of seeing thru to the next page.

All patterned papers used here are American Crafts. They are bright coloured and loud which makes the album fun and very colourful.

Used Ranger's Distress Embossing Powders, embossing each layer with different colours. With this distress embossing powders, it seasier to do the layering with different colours as it does not spoil or melt the previous colours, and does not have a shiny finish, its matte and I love it!

Most of the journaling bits are from Maya Road Sheer Collection. As I don't quite fancy my own handwritting (still working on it) so I added little chipboard bits on it. Tip: Buttons are best to stick on with pop glue dots. I used to use extra bond liquid glue but ever since I tried pop up glue dots, there's no turning back. They are super duper stronger and guarantees sticks well!
Cut Hambly Overlays to 6x6 and punched holes and added it as a page. Added shells the kids picked from the beach. These were the actual shells we picked during the trip. Tip: The next time you're collecting shells, look out for the flatter shells, just makes it easier to add to the page to prevent it from being too bulky. Again, use pop up glue dots, they work wonders!

More smaller and rounder shells, they work too!

Printed out Ali Edward's latest Fonts cd as journaling bits too.

Here they are again, printed out fron Fonts cd and inked with chalk ink pads, only wished I had such arty handwriting.


Added 7Gypsies Stickers and Hambly Studios rub ons.

Coffee Break Album

I have to have my coffee in the morning to kick start my day. Hubby likes Starbucks, I really don't mind Coffee Bean. Towards the end of the year, Starbucks always have like a point collection promotion when enough points are collected you get a customised Starbucks Diary.. so Hubby and I have this thing where we have to have every diary that comes out every year.. don't ask me why..but we do! (Now the diaries are sitting on the book shelf)

Being a scrapper, I tend to keep everything I think one day, I'll have an idea of how to alter it. So here it is, the cup holder I collected from the last year's.

Cut out green & white cardstocks. Inked it. Stamped Tim Holtz's fav stamps on it. Added photos to it. Added thickers.

A Paperbag Album

I have always been attracted to the paperbag album for the longest ever time. It must be the size and how we can make something out of just a bunch of paperbags put together.

Its simple to make, with pockets on every other page to store a little something like a picture etc. I've used Hambly Studio heavy overlays as my pages in the pockets. But you could just keep tickets from a trip etc, you'd be surprise with what you can keep in the pockets, very handy, and not to mention quite interactive.

After adding patterned paper on every page, each page becomes more sturdy, so it makes it easier to heat emboss anything on it. I've used distressed embossing powder on some of the pages and UTEE on some. I'm loving my Tim Holtz Stamps, embossing powders, etc, as you can see here.

To add more texture to the page, I embossed Clear embossing powder is great too! (and so much you can do it) I've added rub ons + stamped Making Memories Number Foam Stamps.

This is probably the very few times, I've handwritten the journaling on the page! I've really seriously have got to start loving my handwritting, noticed how I've only handwritten on the page that goes in the pocket? Still trying..
