Melissa's Shadow Box

My first commissioned shadow box. Pretty Melissa wanted to do a frame for her wedding picture. Beautiful Prima's Annalee Collection papers - Avondale came in nicely. Fitting her theme to a T! Nice glorious blue with blooming roses.. Perfect for a wedding theme! I bought 2 pieces of this paper hoping to use it for my wedding album too!

A shadow box made up of mainly Prima products. Prima roses, Prima chipboard and Prima papers.. Added 2 Maya road pins to accentuate the roses!

I love her gown.. Notice the mosquito netting? I misted it with Tattered Angel's Moonlight glimmer mist and added blings to it for a fairytale like feel.

How do I ensure I do not use too much mist? I put the netting in a plastic bag and sprayed the mist in. 'Massage' the netting thru the bag to ensure it soaks up the excess mist.. Tadah! Nicely misted gown! Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday!

An LO done as a gift to my Aunt. Using Prima's Road Trip Collection - Road Trip papers. My aunt (dad's younger sister) and my dad shares the same birth date! Just a difference of 1 year. This year, there was an impromptu meet up to have dinner and celebrate together! Their very first time celebrating together in 54 years! Was planning to do an exact same LO for my dad to keep but captured some pics of Button that would suit the theme even better.

Love this little red car! Just like we took Dad's taxi to the restaurant (Red cabby) :) Check out the Longchamp bag in the car..

My mum gave the suggestion to place the photos like this! So happy that she joined in the fun of scrapbooking. I had initially placed the family photo on top and clutter the small photos at the bottom. Mum had suggested to put the main leads on top and trim the family photo. Love the effect!

Just have to highlight to you guys on the little doggy in the blue car.. Cute ain't it? Reminds me of the 2 dogs we left at home.. Poco and Button.. Poor guys don't get to celebrate with us.

Check out my sewing. My very first sewing on paper! 2 sets of this took me one full day. Firstly, using a pencil, trace the line/pattern you would like to sew. Next, using a paper piercer, pierce holes which you will use to sew. Erase all pencil markings after you have finish piercing. Sew as per normal using the holes punched. Tadah! Sewing on LO! Hope you liked it!~

~ Love Binds Us ~

My very last Websters' Pages paper.. Been hoarding the load of them for some time and I'm so glad to be able to use them for my pre-wedding photoshoot photos. Title came from the seam bindings I've used (bought from fellow scrapper Lynn.. Super talented beautiful babe).

I sewed part of the seam binding onto the LO.. My first attempt at sewing! Prima roses and pins from MWL.. Love them!

Hambly transparencies that I have been hoarding.. Yes! I'm a hoarder.. I love buying.. and can't bear to use to scrap.. but slowly de-stashing now.. Making space for new stuff to come! Don't you love the lace hambly?

Cheapo Angie is here again.. Used a 'J' to replace the letter 'L'.. can't bear to break into a new pack of thickers.

My little fairy on the little tortoise.. Simple simple LO that took me a month to complete.. for lack of inspiration and of habit of wanting to put loads of stuff on it.... Hope you like it!

My Promise...

A Layout using the sketch from Jana Eubank for MWL's Scrap Dare #4 hosted by Piradee. Using pp from Webster's Pages - Seaside Retreat (hide & seek) and also Basic grey's Cappella (Dolce).

Love my glitter thickers.. Ro says it's an ugly shade of green but I love it!

Slight variation to the sketch. I've placed 3 additional small photos.. It doesn't look complete without them :)

Look at the little sea-horsie.. Cute isn't it? So suitable for this photo of ours. Our pre-wedding photoshoot at Deasaru. Oh, did I mention the lace trim that I bought from MWL? Gorgeous shade of brown!

With loads of space for journaling, I made Ro help me copy the wedding vows that we are going to read out on our big day. Now I've a nice big wedding Vows LO to use on the actual day! Love this LO!

True Love

Using Websters' Pages (Life's Portrait - Imagine your life) with Prima blooms and swirl.. True love is living the life that you have imagined.

Prima's Lillput Roses Marshmallow glimmer misted with Tattered Angel's Bubbles, and tea roses peach frost together with Prima's SIIP Swirls.

Love this effect. Real veil flowing out from the photo!

Love the blue eggs.. Robin's eggs I think. Notice the little birdie at the left hand corner? My take for MWL's Scrap Dare #3 :)

Fairytale...

Completed! Fairytale it is.. Added little blings on the netting for a princessy feel and titled it Fairytale :)

My grey thickers seemed abit harsh and thus I inked it with gold ink. The result is a vintage dull gold color. Not too sure why the photo doesn't capture it but it sure looks good in real life! Thanks all for the suggestion! I love to see that there are actually people reading my blog! Love you all! Muacks!

Not completed yet...

Somehow there seems to be something missing.. Blings? Pearls? Title? Any suggestions for title? Using Webster's pages Lullaby Lane (In due time). The moment I saw this photo, I knew how I wanted to scrap it. So happy with the outcome and although it is still not complete, I thought to post it up just for sneaks...

I went to spotlight today thinking to buy some tulle but I found something cheaper and looks almost the same! Mosquito net! LOL! I swear it looks exactly like the skirt of my gown in the photo!

I don't know how you feel, but I always feel Websters' MUST go with ribbons and trims. Ribbon from Daiso. Been wanting to stock up on this (my very favourite) but it seems they no longer carry this anymore.

Always remember to glossy accent the details/patterns on Webster's papers as they seem to come alive and adds dimension! Do let me know your suggestions for title!
