You and me Layout and the Let's get Sketchy Week 4 challenge

 

Hi all, Happy Friday.

So happy to play along with another challenge over at Let's get Sketchy .

They once again have another awesome sketch for all of you who is looking for some inspirations when you feel little scrappy this weekend.

 

And this is my take on for the Week 4 sketch. I use the beautiful Maggie Holmes's Flea Market collection by Crate Paper.They do have an amazing collection when working together. I am already a CP fan so no reason not to play with these.

 Those embellishments are just GORGEOUS. Aren't they?

I cut out some pieces from the Market paper and sew them next to my photo for my journaling. Just love the result.

 

 Before

Then of course I have to mention about the photo overlay that's also in this collection. Have you always wanted to have special filter with your photo but don;t know anything about Photoshop or don't have a smart phone? Now you can consider Using the Photo overlay with your photos.

And after.

This is the result after applying with the photo overlay. I just love love them. They do come in different sizes and they are just fabulous.

Hope you all like my take on for the sketch and happy weekend.

{A Layout} Happy moment

Hi all:

Happy weekend. Just want to quickly share a layout with all of you today.

Created this layout using the August kit from the Paper Bakery kit club. Highly recommend you go check out their new Art Fair kit for September.

 

 

And I created my title using my Silhouette cameo. Then I hand drawn some  stitches on the title to give some interesting points. And if you like it I did have a newer version in the cut file that you are more than welcome to download.

So happy to share another layout I created lately. 

I took this photos in our backyard the other day and it was over exposed.

But it turns out pretty good and I like it a lot.

So I decide to use Dear Lizzy's Polka Dot Party papers, embellishments and some stuff from my stash.

 And of course, I love love those Mint Alphabet from Heidi Swapp. So I sew them onto the journaling card. And I love it. lol

 Also those adorable fabric bows are just darling. I am going to stock them up. :) TFL and I hope you all have a nice weekend ahead of you.

{A Layout} I am loved.

I created this layout for Let's Sketchy's September Week 2 challege.

Here is the sketch by my talented FB friend Ashley Horton. Yay!

 

Love this sketch. In fact, I've been always want to do more challenges. But just don't have enough time. Whenever, I am ready and the timing is never  right. Ha! And now is the time. So here is my take on for this sketch.

The materials from this layout is from Dear Lizzy's Polka Dot Party by American Crafts. Another my must haves and favorites. Really adorable and the chalk board design is just trendy. :)

And the photos are from my birthdat, September 11th. I turned 37 yesterday. Yay! And I feel so grateful that I have hubby and doggie by me and tons of great friends. I do feel loved. Always.

{Project Life Week 25-2/生活紀錄第25週之二}

Quickly finished my Week 25. Because I am still months behind. But it's ok. I plan to finish them and bring up to date before I leave for Taiwan in the end of October. Yes. Another trip has been scheduled. This time I will be in Taiwan from the end of October to the second week of December. During this trip, I will be teaching most of my weekends and spend some time with friends and family in between. I am super excited about this trip and also be able to meet a lot of  fun people. :)

 

 

I also put some small bits and pieces in the pocket then I sew it with my sewing machine. It makes me super happy whenever I flip the page.
