Mini Album 2: BALI (Road trip)

Hi all!!

I am back with another mini album! I intend to make 3 albums to complete my Bali trip.
I blogged about the first album here!

Here's Bali mini album 2.

Papers from Dear lizzy collection! Love love their papers. I am in love with anything flowery based. I am exceptionally girly when it comes to scrapbooking. HAHAHA. Although i am nothing close to being girly in real life.

But i realise the papers that you choose doesnt really make a difference, Cause all the photos and embellishments would have covered most of the paper alr.

Oh wells. But i still love their papers! HAHAHA. #excuses


I made used of a Project Life (PL) journalling card as the main focus. Its from the travel theme project life cards by Becky higgins. I added a car wood veneer in it to emphasize that its a road trip ahead!

Die cut embellishments at the side is from the Open road collection by Crate paper.

Most of my scrapbooking comes from my holiday photos, Therefore, i have a tendency to buy anything related to travelling. Open road collection fits the bill perfectly, although its a little boy-ish with the colours. Aish. HAHA.

The blue frame was to make it consistent with my Bali Mini album 1.
Album 2 measures 5.5" X 6" as well, because i wanna make it consistent!

Likewise, i sew-stitch the papers together to make it an album.


Love journalling cards. They allow me to add alot more details to my album.



I added word stickers that has a transparent base to add more details. HAHAHA.

To my album more interesting, i sew a "pocket" to insert my PL card. Thats a vellum page btw.

But i totally missed the point. I made it like any other normal page. Nvm, lesson learnt. HAHAHA.


Love all my travelling based stamps as well!! HAHAHAHA.
All so useful.


Yes,the snake is my friend. Hence, the stamp, "Hello friend". ROFL.
Its my zodiac!


I used a PL card to make a flap. Say hello to "sesame open door".

The leave wreath die cut is from a digital stamp by Kim Stewart for Studio Calico. I made it into a cut file and used my Cameo Silhouette to cut it out.
Why so pretty!






Life is beautiful. Indeed. To be able to breathe, smile, travel and see the world. Everyone is working hard to survive, Be it in Singapore or anywhere around the world.

While I may complain and rant. i am contented and grateful when i sit down quietly and reflect about life.

Confession: I bought the Teresa Collins Designs - Save The Date Collection - Clear Acrylic Stamps because, i really love the quote. But, i got it during a sale from Mapletreehouse. So its not that expensive. HAHAHA. #excuses


Tanah Lot is so beautiful. "I will remember and treasure this day always" is an appropriate quote.
I blogged abt it here.


Yup, i used a clear printed plastic as one of my pages as well. Even though there's so much details in it, it kind of defect the purpose. HAHA.


And lastly, sunset nv fail to amaze me.
#beautyatitsbest


Thankful and grateful for the awesome weather, so that i am able to witness this! (:
Smile!


Okay thats all for today. I need to work on my next mini album. (:

Scrapbooking: The little things; Wonderful.

Here's a layout i created over the weekend!
I was printing photos for my last mini album on Bali.

Out of random, i decided to make a scrapbook 12x12 layout.
I used to make 12x12 layouts and have alot ALOT of them. I am too lazy to hang up on the wall cause there's so many!

Currently, i like to make mini albums cause they take up less space.

I was inspired by an article i saw at Pinterest.
I really love it and decided to make one myself too!

One of the popular items to use is the Faber-Castell Gelatos to create a gradient background. I dont have gelatos, so i used my distress inks instead.

1. Have the colours of your distress ink choice ready.
2. Take your blender tool.
3. Blend the colours in a straight line.
4. Use a brush, wet it with some water to fill up the "gaps" and blend the colours tgt.
5. It should dry v fast. (i use a heat tool to expedite the process)

I love pink and red. Oh, lots of flowers as well.
HAHAHA.


Next, go and dig your scrapbook library for all the frames you can find!

From left to right:


1. I used my cameo silhouette to cut out the Polaroid frame as well as the flower/leave die cuts in the background from iheartstudio.

2. The white and rose pink frames are from taobao.
Search 树脂 饰品 配饰 at taobao.
Pink frame from this seller: Link
(MWL and Papermarket sells them v v ex!)

3. Chipboard frame from "My mind's eye". Jubilee collection

4. I cut out the cork frame using scissors. The flower cut out is from a piece of paper!

My scrapbook is not complete without some form of journaling now, so i added a journal tag below.


I have a tendency to fill up 3/4 of my layout.
So, i added washi tapes below the journal tag to "take up some space". Its shades of pink, of course!
I used my stamps to ink some images on the washi tape to include more details!

Have fun scrapbooking all!

Mini Album: BALI (Seminyak)

Did a mini album over the weekend last week!

I watched my Korea drama and worked on my mini album concurrently. I used 5 hours to complete it. HAHA.

Feels great to complete sth in a day! Imagine that i took mths to complete my Tasmania project holiday travelogue. Of course, this has less layouts so i am able to complete it faster.

Amazing Bali!
(:

"Once a year, go someplace you've never been before."
Indeed, feels good to visit a place that i have nv been to. Lovely lovely quote!


My mini album measures 5.5" X 6". All the papers are from Dear Lizzy collection! While i ususally buy papers by design instead of brand, i really really love Dear Lizzy papers. Almost all the papers are pretty!

Used my sewing machine and stitch a line in the middle to create my book.


Lets begin!

I used project life cards to write down the details.

The geotag is from Technique Tuesday's Best place. I bought the stamp from Made with love last week and used it immediately. I love anything that allows me to scrap my travelogues! Woots.


Selfie sticker from Heidi Swapp. So apt. LOL.

I added in a sequin pack when i stitch my book. Isnt sequins in a vellum pack pretty!
(Use versafine and ink the image onto vellum paper. Cut, add sequins and stitch them tgt!)


I am in love with Project life cards now! HAHAHA.


Food that we ate at Metis Restaurant!


Thats a transparent "happy" sticker with words btw.

Remember; Clear stamp from Heidi Swapp
The details: Good time arrows from Technique Tuesday.
Blue ink image: Stamp from Taobao.


And then we head off to the next destination!


Ink the image using distress ink and pour clear embossing powder over it. Use heat gun to melt the crystals!


Use paper and cut a Polaroid frame!


I used the October Afternoon roller stamp on my PL cards. SO LOVING IT.
I love everything i buy. ROFL.



Clear transparencies from Project life. (I got it from Taobao)


Added in a tag.


I cant emphasize and annoying keep repeating that the sunset is super pretty! DON'T YOU THINK SO!


My Polaroid frame is so fat. LOL.


I tried printing on vellum, but the ink didnt dry fast enough.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem? I read online and realised that some printers can select "print on vellum" option. Why my printer don have!!!??





Just look at that sunset!

"Oh, How lovely" -> Clear stamp from Amy
