Fussy Cutting

Dealing with life can be stressful. Raising a toddler is very tiring. Working full time is exhausting. These are just a few reasons why I love scrapbooking so much. Whenever I am in my scraproom I feel relief, peaceful, and quiet. It is my me time. I am not creating everyday but I always look forward to it.

One of the common technique I love is cutting intricate patterns from pps. I spend most of my creative time doing this because it is very relaxing. I also love the layering it can provide to a page. One of the best patterned papers to work with using this technique is Webster Pages.

Here was a layout that I did a few months ago when I guest design for Webster Pages:

Webster Layout

Last July I was invited to guest design for Webster Pages. This layout is a combination of both collection that I received, Girl Land and Everyday Poetry. I decided to make a playful design because my inspiration came from the photos. I have made my own background design using mists, stamps, and masking. I love the idea that both collections can be combined but still look cohesive.

This layout was also inspired by the class I am taking at Big Picture Classes by Nic Howard. She provided lots of ideas in creating a personalized background.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving some love!

I adore the Girl Land collection. I love the softness of the colors, the intricate details of the flowers and the doily design at the back of the Carefree patterned paper. And the best part is, it was the perfect collection to use for my daughter’s flower girl event held in Bali because the wedding color theme was pink and yellow. What a coincidence, right?
 

Webster Pages GDT!

Hi everyone! Just dropping by to say thank you for all your continuous support and kind words about my scrapbooking journey. I am always honoured every time I receive sweet comments from all of you.

It has been a busy summer and now, busy school days that keeps me away from my blog and even this hobby. For the past few weeks, I have been cleaning and rearranging furniture at home. I am also happy to announce that I finally have my own scraproom and I am no longer squeezing everything in our bedroom.

Today, I would like to announce that I was invited to be Webster Pages July Guest Designer. I am very humbled with the invitation. I never thought anybody will still be interested after being absent from this hobby. Thank you so much to Webster Pages for this opportunity!

Feel free to drop by at Webster Pages blog and their forum to see some of the layouts I made and all the gorgeous layouts the DTs made getting inspiration from my previous creation.
