Surprise Reveled

Remember I had a little sneak in my October post here?http://thescrapaholiccouple.blogspot.com/2009/10/little-sneak-for-little-prezzie.html
Tadah! Revealed! My very first work of shadow box and its for Nana!


So Glad she likes it.. Been really worried that it is too plain and simple. But den again, i chose the nice sweet pastel colors and sweet little pink deer just for her. :)

The 5th! and a gift from a nice lady..

Fancy cut scissors from Jesslyn! Aint she nice? She got it as an early xmas gift for me. These scissors are interchangable and adds variety to any art work!

And my 5th shadow box.. a xmas gift to my aunt and uncle. This picture was stolen by my cousin (their daughter) and sent to me while they're away in Genting with my parents.. kekeke.. I love this pic.. taken when they were in Hokkaido during the mooncake festival. Autumn in Hokkado.. You guys should check out the scenery there!

And yes, I am crazy about dollie paper.. My mum asked, ' why always muz put the curtain har?'

Cos it doesnt feel complete without it! kekekekeke....

The fourth... my favourite!

Using paper & alpha from Sassafrass!

I love the young vibes from it!

The third shadow box...

Popped by Paper market after work to get my stock of the tape glue refill and guess what I found? The alpha wooden stamps that was out of stock! i couldnt stop myself and i bot both upper caps and lower caps. Small little ink pad to compliment the wooden stamps. Now, I can journal without getting upset with my handwriting! :)

With the replenishment of my tape glue, out came my buddy's prezzie! Nice? Had a great time distressing the papers and the dolly. I gave up on the dolly, so difficult to make it look round around the rectangular photo. This the best I can do. I hope he likes it.. gona pass to him on 7th Dec 09. Abit early to complete you might say, but hey, i have much more prezzies awaiting me to complete!

Of Freebies and Blings!

A welcome gift awaits me when i reached MWL today. A hugeass recycle bag and in it, a page kit worth $25!

Bought blings and thickers.. I just cant resist blings, especially since they always run out of stock!

A gift from MWL in celebration of their 6th birthday. Suspicious looking little black box and held a surprise gift. A bag hook!

Only for Scraphaolic anonymus and Scrapaholic for life members.. Aint they sweet?

And finally, my scrappy scissors from Daiso! Cheap and good!

I really wana start doing the xmas prezzies but MWL ran out of the tape glue refill that I need.

:( thus i can only bore u guys with photos of my freebies...

Almost done...

Latest addition on Friday the 13th! Lace Eyelet edge and corner punch! On DISCOUNT! Yipppeee!!

The various gifts for the microsoft office colleagues..

A total of 10! Just some finishing touches in Dec and they'll be ready to be given out!

Wat shld i do for Publicis colleagues?

Done! The 4th! Tadah.....

Family! Thats the theme of the LO. i'm trying to achieve a autumn season feel, thus the fallen leaves at the bottom. They're in autumn colors too.. notice? Inspired by my aunt's photos taken in Hokkaido in Oct..

Do you see the 'twigs' above, I twisted the barcode strip that comes with the paper and distressed it with my brow distress ink. An idea at that moment and I love it. My first invention!

Autumn leaves! I painstakingly cut out each leave by itself and stick them onto the base of the paper (the original autumn leaves paper) and some are on pop-ups. Highlighted some with sticklers (glitter) and some with glossy accent to add some dimensions.

Dolly paper (the ones used to put the cake for baking) was used to highlight the title. The cardstock (background paper) was dull and thus it was difficult to make the title show. And yes, I had already stuck my 'house' down so i had to slowly peel the house out to slip the ends of the dolly in..

The journally card that I made and hid it behind the dolly. A layout is never complete without journally and I'm tryin to do it coz I really hate my handwriting. (thus, the hidding behind the dolly)

This is the roof that I did, bit by bit, using strips of paper. Do you like it? Ro says its unique. But he didnt praise the whole layout... Autumn leaves fell from the trees and got stuck on the roof..

Laced the edge to soften the feel. Perhaps I shld have distressed the strips of paper to make the house look older?

Hope you like this... Alot of firsts.. first twigs, first handmade roofs, first use of glossy accent to accentuate the bellies, first use of dolly and first journally! Took me a total of 6 - 7 hours in front of the telly to complete this... Yea. I love to multi-task!
