Altered Frame, A Card & A Rak :)

Hi there everyone!! I am here to show you how I did an altered frame using the Making Memories Love Struck Collection.

Present to you my simple altered frame tutorial ...

For this project, I recycled one of my frame. Trying to go green *wink*

Next, get a beautiful lace and paste it on the bottom of the frame.

This playing card look-a-like is from one of the MM Love Struck papers called Foiled Card.

I randomly cut a piece out & paste it on the left side of the frame.

Get a chipboard swirl, dab it with any kind of ink. I used the Color Box.

Another option is you can paint it.

Adhere it on top of the playing card.

Then paste the MM Love Struck Rosettes on the chipboard swirl. You might want to adhere some foam dots / zots to secure the sides of the rosettes.

You need 3 different kinds of flowers & a brad to make a self-assembled flower.

This is how it will look like. You can opt for a button if you do not have any suitable brads.

Paste the flower next to the rosettes. Next, paste the MM Love Struck peach polka-dot trim next to the flower. I tucked the trim under the flower for a more natural look.

I cut one of the Hambly birdcage to further embellish my frame.

And of course this MM Love Struck Word Fetti is awesome to be used on the frame. Perfect to use on altered project, layout and of course cards :)

Ta daa!! Here's the completed frame.

Here's a matching card I made using the balance of the MM Love Struck Foiled Paper. And again, those numbers on the card does not have any special meaning, it's random :)

For this card, I used a different lace and added some more pretty Prima flowers.

For the background, I did some misting and stamping :)

Alright, you must be wondering what is the RAK gotta do with all this right??

Making Memories : Love Struck Collection

Hello everyone!! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good, lots of chillaxin :) I am back, as promised to show you the 2 layouts I created.

I cut the back of the packaging to get the title for the layout. Just love how MM utilizes the whole packaging. Brilliant!!

Here's the second layout I created. Loving the background heart paper & it is glittery!! I have also used my all time fav, heart doily with the ribbon ruffles I made. Well I just stapled the ribbon as I fold.

Crop Party Photos!

Hello everyone!! Yesterday we had an awesome crop party with so many talented ladies in the store. Let me walk you thru the photos as I explain further.

We started our warm-up challenge by making a name tag for the person on your left.

Here were all the beautiful tags done by the scrappers. Pretty isn't it? Majority used pink, I wonder why? LOL!!

First challenge was to create a layout using music title as their layout title.

They were given only 40 mins to complete the layout. I was amazed what they did.

Here are the completed layouts & also not so completed layout... hehehe :)

Second challenge was concept challenge. Scrappers need to use only 6 products out of 15 products in the list & were given 45 mins to complete. For the second round, most of the scrappers were not so pressured compared to the first.

Samples of 2nd challenge, beautiful layouts!!

After the second challenge, we had a special sale for the scrappers who attended the crop party. A very special way to thank them for their support. We also had the RAK giving ceremony.

Yuz won the best tag challenge.

Maz also won the best tag challenge.

Liza won the first challenge.

Yuz won the second challenge.

Jessica won the Best Dressed category.

Of course we had yummy donuts & coffee for refreshment.

What a coincidence, the best dressed packaging matched Jessica's dress!!

I guess it was meant for her :)

Here are the pretty ladies who came dress in red & pink. Thanks ladies for your support and looking forward to see you in our next crop party!! I am glad that these creative ladies went back with 2 beautiful layouts they made in the party :) At the mean time, happy scrapping!!
