when angie told me she wanted a notebook with christmas theme...the first thing that came to my mind is a christmas wreath on its cover. my hubby helped me to cut out a mounting board and i then worked with ribbons and buttons. i lurv the end product.

more pix are uploaded on my facebook album

wishing everyone a joyful christmas and a funfilled 2012!!!

my hubby stripped my binding machine naked after a loud noise came from the machine and it immediately jammed, leaving me panic as i was suppose to have a flea market today. he found that the problem came when a spring on one of the levers snapped. after nearly 3 years, it's time to start hunting for a new one.

my sets of book covers, dividers and writing pages pending to be bound :(

i'm so pleased with the end product of this project

i have not been posting anything about my scrapbooking thingy...been occupying myself too much with facebook and guilty for neglecting my blog(s).

am now preparing for my next flea market and have just completed my bookmarks. i hope to do more soon after completing my notebooks. oh yes...this round i will be making few pieces of retro album.

all pictures and updates of my work are on my facebook

project: mini album, 20cm x 20cm

contents: 8 sheets of 19cm x 19cm, 24 photo mats

my friend, kamsinah, has requested for a mini album as a gift to someone special. i put my 110% effort into this album, wanting to do only the best for her.

i find the end-result to be quite pretty different from my previous projects and i am so pleased with it. this project has helped to re-build my self-confidence and i have now decided to make a few more for my friends who have kindly helped my family during our difficult period. my target is to have all delivered by nov/dec this year.

above: i have applied this new technique for all separated photo-mats. this happened by accident actually. i wanted to punch a hole at the centre of top page but my poor judgment had made the hole punched a little bit to the left. i then decided to punch few more holes and played around with the ribbon, trying to tie the ribbon neatly. and as i cut the ribbon longer then i should, i later made a criss-cross and tied a bow at the last hole. nice?

above: my favourite two pages coz i love the colourful ladybugs. the page on the right is smaller in size as it is an envelope-page.
