random things today

Continuing with my inspirational journal, I finished this page today, yes only today. Its been a page sitting for too long but finally here it is. 

Words of Inspiration by Donna, autographed in my journal! Its great to look into the journal for ideas/techniques finished. Not containing just that, but also a reference to what goes with what. 

So, now I know that having 2 tags sit together on a page along with ripped book pages, painted over, colour white washes, added on green tree iron-on (totally getting a hang on ironing-on onto paper!) also it adds texture/interest onto the page.

Today, with my little time away from Nasha was enough, I came back to spend little 30mins on adding Tim Holtz's Sticker Alphabets onto this page and I was smiling and I felt like I achieved and finished another page!! Yay.. totally awesome.. Loving the colour..

Hmm.. I wonder how this would look on a scrapbook page with added mixed-media into it! Totally, fun and cheerful..

its been WAY.. too long since I've blogged

A week ago I attended Donna Downey's Creative Escape, Singapore. A whole day of fun and we made 3 projects (mini albums). 3 mini albums in a day! It was absolutely crazy fast, but fun, fun, fun AND totally inspired! Here is what we did in the morning, a mixed media album, a mix of canvas pages + transparency + cardboard in fabric. This year, Donna is playing more with fabric which I totally LOVE and totally have ALOT of.

I held back when Donna asked us to handwrite into the pages, exactly, I thought, "I'm gonna spoil the page!.." BUT the result is, I can't get enough of it now! Argh.. handwriting it is.. all the way.. oh yah

Putting the album together is no sweat but there's always something new to try (i.e hand writing with a nib pen using India ink), honestly, wouldn't have tried it if I was on my own. Its fun! More ideas to add into my future pages. Write on paper, canvas, fabric, etc!

Even just looking thru the pages, the colours are also my inspiration! Donna inspires the colours in me.. LoL.. quote, quote

ok yes, that's duct tape you see there.. so would have thought? But because Donna is using them, its ok to use them too.. another No No zone for me.. so I'm working outside of my comfort zone here

What more can I say, definitely, what comfort zone?! (writing.. all the way)

After lunch (shopping + Mos Burger) we are back to finish this. Prima's Heart Album. Superb for Mother's Day. Misting, Masking, Painting, Stamping.

The mess I made while working on this album. Lovin' it if only this was on a paper! Next time!

After tea, then it was this. I have been waiting for a whole day for this, the Inspirational Journal Class. Very interesting, very exciting and very funny.
