This is my daughter first time wearing the ballet dress which was given by cousin Hilda. She was so happy to wear it as everybody says you are beautiful. i love this foil arrow paper as it directs all focus onto the photo. 

The red doilies, fabric trim and sequins added a lot of interest onto the layout.

Handwriting in Gold using my new favourite Sharpie pens. i love this quote and i do believe one day you can fly, in your way.

Fussy cutting the flowers, the banner, add fabric flower and pink pearl to create layers.

Also add the MME's wood piece, and more gold sequins.

Loved.

This is a mixed media layout. I used white cardstock as background and spray yellow, peach, light blue onto it to match the photo.

i stamped on the cardstock to create background, and add a few accents onto it to balance the layout.

i also used some gesso onto circle stencil on the background.

i used the pearl trim to go around the photo, makes it like s frame and also created dimension. The gold leave and shinny square trim also add a lot interest onto layout.

this chipboard flower bottle is so cute.

Beautiful

This is a project life style layout. I choose some photos from beach. 

Shaker card is very popular this year and i also create a small piece here with this pre-cut journal card.

A close-up look on the embllishemtn.

On top of the flower is one of the local sourced trim - is it gorgeous?!

This triangle  is the cut out piece from the trim in the above photo. 

Another close up photo. I draw the outline on the main photo card to highlight it.

Overall, this is a very fun and beautiful kit to work with, there are lot of embellishments and gorgeous papers for different projects, i am sure you will enjoy it as much as i do. For more information, please visit http://papercraftbuffet.com

Prima's Optimist Collection Layouts

Hi,
i can't tell how much i love the Prima marketing's Optimist Collection! I have don't another two layouts recently and each of them was taken no more than 3 hours! These fabulous papers and embllishments inspired me a lot and i can't wait to share with you all! These are easy to apply on any photos you have, boy, girl, family, etc!

I love this work, i used plenty of Prima's beautiful flowers, even they are from different collections but the results are amazing!

 i used modelling pastes on two stencils to created the background - dots stencil  as well as Donna Downey's floral one, then spray Dyan's Dylusion spray! They are really outstanding on the black background!

This is the third layout, and i am entering this into Prima's Jan 2014 Build- A- Page challenge!

 This big blue flower is from Sizzix - Prima Memphis die! i love this die and i will use it anywhere it allows! (simply because it is quite big)

 i also attached some white dried flowers so it contracts with the black background!

Thanks for stopping by!

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.
