Happy Chinese New Year 2010

This year we are pleased to announce that we are venturing into rubber stamps.  Today,  we have Nadhrah Maidin demonstrating our new line of Chinese New Year stamps and we must say that we love the versatility of having stamps in layouts.

Why choose stamps?  Stamps can be reused again and again and with proper care will last you a very long time indeed and thus lowering your need to buy pricey embellishments.

Without further ado, here is the layout that is made by Nadhrah:

We would also like to take the opportunity to wish everyone 

A Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year 2010!

Plain Momoyo Brad Usage

Have you wondered what to you could do with the little plain brads that are available from Momoyo?  Well,  this is an easy way to use them.  I just added them as a holder to the lantern stickers which I had and voila - they finish the lantern up quite nicely.

Materials used:
DCWV Aisan pps,  K n Co sticker lanterns,  Lil Davis Chipboard letters,  Maya Road Ruffled Ribbon,  Prima pearls,  Jenny Bowlin Journalling Diecut,  Thickers fabric alphas,  Momoyo Brads and  Kaiser wooden heart.

Monsters at Play

I just couldn't resist scrapping all this playful picture when they were handed to me the other day.  Love the way the photo complimented the Monstrosity SSF paper.  Loved how the Momoyo brads,  buttons and twine are the perfect complements to the layout.  Hop that you will like them too.

Materials used:
Bazzill cs, SSF pps, SSF cards, SSF chipboards, DMC embroidery thread, Momoyo brads and buttons and ribbons, Thickers alphas and 3d pop up dots.

Hermana y Hermano

Hermana y Hermano basically means sister and brother in Spanish.  I made this simple layout and I have used the Zig pens to highlight the foam Thickers and the papers.

Materials used:
DCWV pp,  black cs,  Thickers foam alphas,  Buttons from Scarlet Lime Kit,  Floss trim from Australia, Chipboard journalling from SSF and loads of 3d pop up dots.

Layout - Pedicure Fun

I couldn't resist playing with the latest Momoyo Ribbons and Buttons the minute they were sent to me.  Their happy colours perfectly complimented my latest stash of SSF papers.  I love how the buttons lends a cheery and happy feel as centers of flowers and also the last 3 that I have used a perfect ending to my title.  Lastly, the ribbon also completes and balances my layout well.

Layout - My Boy Breaks Down when he is tired

This is a layout that describes Sean to a "T". We took these photos of him crying in Hong Kong Disneyland. Naturally after 1 day of fun and not getting his way at the Astro Blasters, he broke down one of the restaurants there. I just found these photos and thought that I better scrap it before I forget about them again. I feel that this layout is still unfinished (re: white circle that I drew). Maybe it would be nicer if I put something more 3D there. Will think about it.

Materials used:

Creative Imaginations pp, Making Memories Fabric Stickers and Tag, Pink Paislee Chipboard, K n Co Chipboard Flourish, SSF stickers, Thickers foam alphas, Blue DMC thread, Blue GRosgrain ribbon, White Sakura Pen, Making Memories Black Sticker Alphas and Momoyo Brads.

Twisted Sketches No 11

Here is a layout I did about 12 days ago using the Twisted Sketches No 11. The twist of the sketch was to use monochromatic hues for the layout. I love green and I have chosen green for this layout.

I have used the Coredinations papers in different shades of green and added texture using the Cuttlebug and sanded them down. Sewed on the side and added more texture with laces, Momoyo brads and buttons.

Materials used:

Coredinations pp, DMC thread, Making Memories brads, Buttons from Momoyo and Autumn Leaves, Kinderglitz Glue, Pompom trim from my Scarlet Lime Kit, Chipboard Alphas from Thickers, Sticker alphas from Pink Paislee, KindyGlitz, Momoyo tiny metallic green brads and 3d pop up foam.
