scrapbook kisses tee

we had a flea market at scape last weekend. business was not really good, but we had a good time spending the weekend stress-free.  my hubby made two of these t-shirts for us to wear during our sales.  he added a red ribbon bow on mine...it's very sweet.

we are now hunting for another flea market to sell our scrapbook items.  and i decided to make more retro album coz all sold out like hot banana fritters last weekend...hehe

three teachers of my son had collected some donations for my family to see us through during our difficult time.  

being bad with words, my only way to say 'thank you' is by scrapping these notebooks for them.  and tomorrow my son will pass them the books at his school's prom nite.  i hope they will like them.

envelope-card

i lurv using the pull-out-flap layout envelope in my scrapbook. and in this project i have turned it into a well-wishing card for my friends. i'm going to make more of this layout envelope cards for my flea market this june :D

i'm currently preparing for my june fleamarket, and have completed an envelope mini album. i hope to do at least 3 more of this.

trial and error on smashed scrapbook

choosing papers is not easy

our life is made up of many elements with different sizes and colours.
sometimes we need to move them around
to adjust them and fit them into different perspectives.

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.

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.

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.
