Prince Charming or Dragon?

Good morning! Today, I'm sharing a notebook I made for a birthday boy born in the year of the Dragon. I find the MFT Magical Dragons stamp set so apt and decided to create a scene with this set for the front cover of the notebook. 

I colored the "main characters" before fussy-cutting them out and adhering them to a white background. I then sealed it behind a transparent cover as I wanted to keep the white background clean. After all, this is a notebook and will get dirty over time.

Here is a look at the entire cover. I'm submitting this design for the MFT Sketch Challenge 342, which my layout coincidentally matches. How nice!

Thanks for dropping by and have a great day (or evening)!

TGF Farm Fresh Challenge 2

I made three more notebooks using the TGF stamps. I chosed the images based on their resemblance to my male colleagues, as these notebooks are their Christmas gifts. 

I had a lot of fun colouring the images and heat-embossing the sentiments for the back covers of the notebooks. I think I am going to create more of such  notebooks!

Front cover

Back cover

It has been a long, long while since my last post. I got back to a full-time job and started renovations for my home. With all these on my plate, my crafting and blog took a back seat.

I finally took had a little time to create this cute little notebook with one of the TGF stamps from the Christmas set.

I used Promarkers to colour the image, and added red and green glitter to the Christmas gift box. What's Christmas without red and green right? :)

For the back cover of the notebook, I heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

Teachers' Day Gifts

Wow! The month of August just flew by! I was busy with kids, housework and vacation that I did not get much crafting done.

Well, I had to sit down and do something now that Teachers' Day is round the corner on 4 September.

I started making cards last week, and had such fun trying various crafting techniques. Almost every card is unique, except for the two cards for my older boy's male teachers. Male cards are so hard to make! :p

I also customized some notebooks as gifts and had lots of fun embossing these meaningful sentiments on the book covers. It was magical to see the powder melt and change color. I am in love with embossing!

The notebooks come in embossed white, pink, silver and platinum. The platinum is my favorite. The color is sooooo pretty but unfortunately, I am unable to capture it on camera.

This is a CAS (Clean And Simple) cover in white embossing powder.

Another version in pink glitter

This is the biggest and longest sentiment stamp I have, again embossed with platinum powder.

That is all I have for today. Hope to be able to create more and update my blog again soon. Have a good day!

Look who popped out of the cupcake!

I have a back load of TIddlyInks Images waiting to be coloured, and finally coloured this for a little girl's birthday. I made a notebook cover with her name and some sticker flowers. That should make her feel special. Now, I just need to find time to colour the other cute TiddlyInks images!

Of Flowers and Butterfly

Found this image from LOTV so cute and relaxing. I used it to customise a notebook cover for a little girl named Caitlin.

 I'll probably used it again soon for a card as I find it so adorable! I'm submitting this entry for the very first challenge that I'm taking part in:

Kiss Me

Love this image from Jade Dragonne. Her hair turned out pretty well-coloured, thanks to Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder for her colouring lessons. :)  

Copic colours used for her hair are E71,E73, E75 and E79, my favourite hair colour combination at the moment. For her pink dress, I used R81, R83 and R85.

I laminated the whole assemble and turned it into an A5 notebook cover. This customised notebook is for sale at SGD15. Interested parties can email me.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a good day!
