Photo Frame, not one but three

Photo frame

Hi viewers!

Another month for the half year is coming up...June!

I am making this for the Papier Designs, a local reknown store in Malaysia.

It is a Photo Frame, not one but three. One for display with stand but two are 'hidden'.

Here are my shots of the project.

I fussy-cut the Kaisercraft flower paper.

Punch the Martha-Stewart puncher that looks like a Garden.

The butterfly is die-cut on a green pattern paper.

I made a beautiful flowery peach colored clay from a mould.

I punch using Martha Stewart puncher and cut out the frame from the Graph 45 "Olde Curiosity Shoppe'

Die-cut the Spellbinder- scallop and non-scallop heart shape

Background - Pattern paper from My Minds - Lost and Found.

Self handmade roses and leaves (pink and yellow) on the right and left.

Doily paper; Bead sticker

At the bottom, slide out the bottom, open and you can see something inside the main page frame.

Yes another flipped bench and butterfly which I cut from Graph 45 "Olde Curiosity Shoppe'.

A lady from Melissa France with her long cross-signed necklace and her bottom gown, are glue yellow-glittered.

Lace at the lady's bottom gown.

Flowers are mix-fussy cut from local paper and Kaisercraft paper.

The background and butterfly , from Graph 45 "Olde Curiosity Shoppe'.

Thanks for the contribution from Papier with beautiful pattern papers provided.

Thanks for reading and hope you gain some ideas shared.

Mini Album - Timeless Treasures

Hi Everyone, 

I hope it's not too late to wish Happy Mother's Day to All Beautiful MOTHERS out there.One of the most special day of the year...So if you are thinking of what to give your mum as a gift (never too late for a belated Mother's Day gift or maybe for next year) why not make her a special hand made mini album ~ Timeless Treasures.

So for this week, I will be sharing a mini album that I've made and specially dedicated to my mum. An album  filled with her photos with her loved ones.To make it more special I have added some photos that was taken in the 50's and 60's of her with her sisters and brothers. 

For this project I have used patterned papers from Prima's and Pink Paislee's Collection (12 x 12). I cut the patterned papers into 4 and and used Bind It All from Zutter to bind all 10 pages. 

Most of the embellishment used in this mini album are from Prima Marketing (Wood Ticket, Flowers, Chipboard, etc). 

I also used Scroll Corners Chipboard from Maya Road and stamps from Tim Holtz to decorate some of the pages.

"Timeless Treasures"

A special gift for someone special on the Special Day!

That's all for now...till we meet again and Happy Crafting to ALL!

Crafting a sushi - Winners Announcements

Hola!

We had a really great time, last Sunday, when our VIP guests showcased their talents, not only at crafting but food crafting too! It was all hats & gloves and then we got down to the real job of sushi decorating at Sakae Sushi, The Curve. Thanks to Chef Yong, we all had a great time learning to wrap our own makimono, california hand rolls, bear makimono and even made a hanasushi, which suited our theme of the day (flower power) to a tee! It was all excitement & laughter throughout.   Below are some pics in random order.

 

We've taken extra time to announce the winners as it was definitely one of the toughest feat we've had as the tags all came out so beautifully BUT we still had to choose a winner.  Yet, I feel as though I've not justified the amount of effort you've put in for the event, so I 've decided to throw in an extra prize for Most Beautiful Tag.  So, here goes:

Announcing the Winner of the MOST CREATIVE TAG:
   (drum roll...)
                                                       Ms Tan Mee Foon
       
Mee Foon won this category because of the use of copper wire to create first a necklace which doubles up as a tag with her name written on beautifully curled and die-cut flowers using Sizzix and metal sheets.  It is her creative concept us oing the die-cut tool which has won her an extra point.   

Well done, Mee Foon!

and the Winner of the MOST BEAUTIFUL TAG:
 (drum roll...)
                                                       Ms Chris Lim

Chris' tag was an absolute gorgeous composition of pastels, with lots of layers and fabulous mix of pretty florals with die cuts, decorated with mica flakes, beautiful ribbons, pendant and more.  A tag that speaks for itself and can adorn any apparels to make it simply beautiful.  Therefore, I had to add this prize category.  :o) 

Congratulations, Chris!

Winner of BEST DRESSED:
(more drum roll)
                                                        Ms Marina Khong

Adorned in a fabulous floral print dress, Marina wins Best Dressed for an absolute perfect match of apparel, accessories and adorned with a beautifully made tag.  Just to share a comment from an Anonymous person: "you can just feel the Springtime in her".  And I think that of course gave Marina extra points.  

Congratulations Marina! 


Please note: Winners are all selected based on an average aggregate from several judges and thus, minimal bias judgement from any one single person.

Having said all that, we would like to sincerely THANK all our VIPs (Very Important Papercrafter) who attended the event.  Once again, the prizes were just a mere incentive for added fun, AND to add some papercrafting element into the event.  To the winners, Congratulations, and to others, Big Thank You's for your efforts and we hope you will continue to strive for our future prizes!  And for PCM members, we look forward to have you join our Papier Elite Club Member soon for more of such exclusive privileges. 

We had absolute fun and we hope you did too!

We will be calling the winners shortly to collect your prizes from Papier.  

Once again, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Sea of Love - an altered canvas

 

Hola! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are all in the best of health ;)))

I would like to share with you an altered canvas - Sea of Love. Whenever I do a project like this, I always like my work to tell a little bit of story. For this project, I have used a cut-out of a lady looking so forlorn waiting for his lover who has sailed far away. A bit of painting here and there and also cutting.

I will be conducting a similar altered canvas class soon at Papier. My first class.

If you like steampunk and a lil' bit of grunge, stay tune. The work for the class will be posted very soon.

 

 

See you again next time! Ciao!
