hi,
it's last month of 2013 and Christmas is coming!
When talking about christmas, it is about happy, colourful and gifts for me.  This month we have chosen the Hey kid collection from Pink Paislee to help you capture a more modern you. With the bright and cheerful designs it would work well for any gender, and there is a great selection of paper, alphabets and embellishments. With only the best quality from Pink Paislee, this collection is sure to suit your needs in every way.

Layout - Amazing Girl, i would not change you for the world!

This is my favourite layout so far. its colourful embellishments works out so nice with my daughter's photo.  i used Heidi Swapp's heart stencil as background and makes feel so happy!

Layout - Hey Fabulous

HKMC's Kit Club Oct 2013

Hi,
It's time to share Oct's kit club from HK Memory Chest!
This month's paper are from My mind's Eye - Find Your Wings and Fly  - Up and Away collection, its  a joyful mix of vintage ephemera and trendy patters, together with the coordinated embellishments inside the kit, believe you will enjoy creating!

Layout - Look Up and Fly

Love these papers a lot, especially this one. it seems many layers but actually its just one piece of paper. because of this, what i did is just adding some pieces of small paper to make up layers,  stick photos on, cut out hot air balloons, a tag and connect them with enamel dots!

 and yes, flowers! this is flower from Pateloo! How cute !

Layout - Date in Roma

 In this layout, i used Sizzix - Prima's Memphis die, the flower is quite big and i was thinking where i can use it for a while. Now its time and place for it!

Thanks for stopping by!

HKMC's Kit Club Sep 2013

Hi,
Today I would like to share with you Sep kit club layout from HK Memory Chest. It is packed with products from Bo Bonny, Heidi Swapp, American Crafts and more. it's full of summer colours to help you record your favourite summer moments! Here below are two of my design team layouts.

Layout - Love is in the Air

This is a mixed media layout and I am still learning how to apply different mediums onto paper, and also the control of the paints. It was very fun! I also used some dried flowers and  i like how it turns out. 

 Here are some close-ups:

Layout - Smile

This is just a simply layout. i used Donna Downey's stencil to draw the floral background, also use Heidi Swapp's sparkle spray. i am not good at using spray all the time, but this time i am doing good : )

Thanks for stopping by.

HKMC Kit Club June 2013

Hello Crafters,
Can't believe it is already summer in Hong Kong, we have been a busy May and June! There were many things happened here and we all love Summer!

June kit is about Simply Story's 24/ Seven collection. Yes, 24/7 - means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - That's really busy busy busy time! Time to break? Do some crafts!

Here are two layouts I created as design team samples:

 Love This Boy

Just used solid cardstock as background, add in our new arrival - Petaloo flowers!

Greece Summer 2004

Sometimes I would like to try Mix media layouts and this is one of it. Gesso on background paper and stamp poppy image. Use black pen to trace the outline and adding some paints to make it like layered. At the bottom of puppy, I cut some felt petals and stick on it, I like the color to be different and pop it up!

Also got the idea of journaling, every letter is stamped image and located all over the page : )

Add some embllishment and pearls at the end.

Happy scrapping.

HKMC Kit Club May Kit

Hi Crafters,
Sorry I have left behind and today I will share with you two layouts I designed for HK Memory Chest.

The theme is Cool Summer, paper from Carta Bella. This year they have done a very nice design and we think this collection is a "Must Have" to our valuable kit club members.  Full of iconic summer images and rich patterns, this whimsical collection is a perfect way to document your summer!

 A Perfect Summer Day

I doodled on this layout and I like it so much. Papers are bright which black images goes well on it!

 Second layout I was just simply cut and paste as the papers were cute enough. The clouds, the ice creams, and the title tag!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy scrapping!

HKMC Kit Club April Layouts

Hi crafters, today I would like to share my kit club layout designs for HK Memory Chest.

This month is featuring spring colors and we found Authentique Renew collection is so perfect for it when we were in CHA, California.

It is full of beautiful fresh yellow against the gorgeous teals, white and just the right amount of black. The colors are so fresh and fun yet timeless... and work well for boys and girls.

Here are my three layouts and one mini album.

 

You Are My Ray of Sunshine

Footloose and Fancy Free

 

Mini Album - Hei Hei in the Park

 This month I am also creating a layout for the MCS sketch challenge, and this one is for the current March/April one.This is my first time to join this challenge and wish me luck!

 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy scrapbooking.

Mar 2013 Kit Club @ HKMC

Today I would like to share the Mar kit layout with you by using Farmhouse Market Square collections.

Cry

Still in love with doodling and this is my first try of this kind of letters. I don't like it and try to cover it to something else, but Angela Collingwood said it looks perfect! OK, let me keep this as it is for now and you will see improved lettering in the future!

 Man Vs. Wild

Love this dotted background, this only took me 1 hour as I want to make it simple and easy. This photo is one of my favor, It has been two years and the boy becomes naughty now. I smiled when I see this "cute" look. Time flies.

Thanks for stopping by.

Floral Heart Doodling

This is my second try on doodling in the shape style.

First draw a heart lightly using pencil, and fill in with different kind of flowers. Start from the bottom will be easier control. Then remove the pencil line.

This can apply to any shape you have, if you have Big shot machine, you can use Framelits dies to cut out and then draw on that shape, it gives you different sizes of platform to start with.

Thanks for stopping by.

Feb 2013 Kit @ HK Memory Chest

Today I would like to share two layouts i created using Fancy Pants's Hopscotch collection. Love this collection with happy colors, which is good for my kids' photos.

Live the Life you have Imagined

Since I joined a workshop in CHA about zentengle, i really feel i like this doodling so much. Grace also joined but she said it is not her type. I properly not going to teach a class as I think this is so personal and if you are interesting to you will find your way. This style is called Vertical zentengle and I like it because it hangs so many cute stuffs and you can still add on it as desired.

Live Laugh Love with You

This one surprised only took me 1.5 hours to finish. Also learn from CHA Prima sample, use gesso to blend photos into your layout paper, stamp on it and paint on it.

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!
