Being happy

Hi there! Nope today I didn't have any crafting mood - not that I haven't been crafting but it hadn't been completed so really today I've got nothing to show. It's 2am local time but yet I'm unable to sleep. Geez, this might tell me how bad it'll be tomorrow at work...

In fact I slept in till 4pm today. It's been a long while since I allowed myself to sleep like this, but hey sometimes we do need rest right? :) and afterwhich I had dinner with my darling... It must be really happy because I haven't seen him for awhile and seeing him makes me feel so happy mostly because he was in a happy mood! Nothing could destroy my good mood, not even the spilt tea on my floor! Haha.. This time darling gave me a wonderful surprise-a necklace!

It's beautiful! Means I probably got something to scrap about now...

How did you spend your sunday? Hope it had been crafty and good! I'll be posting soon, hope my current project doesn't go wrong! Haha!

Roller Coaster Happiness!

Be prepared this post might overrun a little - I'm overwhelmed with happiness!!!

And so I woke up today, feeling really happy because it is the special day for my dd and me. It's been 3 years - and even though he is not in the country this year, I can feel his presence beside me. :) And he said he wanted to bring me to Taiwan! How sweet! Hahaha - and he also told me that he don't know how to keep the cards I made for him - and so why not I help him keep.. LOL, I think his next present would be a box. Hahaha. That makes the anniversary present a lot easier this time round... Hahaha...

Then I also received news on moving on. That was why I was not blogging for some days now - I was busy signing the new contract and clearing things at my current work place. Though I cant mention anything much now, I can say that I'm glad to find the new job and I'll be having a very different job scope. But sad to leave some of the wonderful colleagues here... This is life...

Today happens to be my best friend's birthday as well - here's to you Jaze - Happy Birthday! I've already sent u an SMS and I didn't forget!

Well, enough rambling about my roller coaster life - but there's more good news!

Handmade Coptic Book

A little off my usual scrapbooking craze, I decided to make this coptic bounded book. 

Those who know me knows I really love to write diaries, and bits and pieces of my life.

I write alot.. Love to write!

Hehehe... So there... Here's the simple book... And maybe I'm thinking of adding stencils to it... Just depends on my mood later on...

Bee Mine Shadow Box + Capture & Cherish Everyday

Another inspiration from ICSketches. Did you already see it? They're calling out for DTs, just click on the link!

Oh how I love thee. Like the bees to the flower...

Oh I do love thee flower... 

The cutting was tedious, but trust me, the final piece is lovely.

It's meant to be in a shadow box, and can you believe me? I let my shadow slip out of my fingers and the glass shattered!!! The sweeping was one thing. The needing to go out for shopping is another. Hahaha that would mean more than necessary purchases. LOL!

Capture & Cherish Everyday - Diary Cover

I was inspired by this sketch to do a cover for my diary cover.

Love the effects, it's my first time doing layering and it looks successful! hahaha.

The vintage look on the cardboard alphas. I used my stamp pad to cover / paint, and after it dries, I used some crackle paint.. Did I tell you I've already bought my heat gun? Hehehehe. Love it. The crackling sound is so amazing! Hehehe. Afterwhich I added my favourite colour - gold. And I must say, a lot of work but satisfied with the results.

Keys are a very important part of my life.

Well I guess I love the overall!

I opted for using a ready made fabric 6by6 album, cos I love the colour of it and being fabric, it looks cleaner.

I also prefer my diaries to be separable. Being always on the move, it is easier to be able to do my diary inserts separately instead of bringing the whole diary album out. Unfortunately, I'll have to source for other covers soon. The above mentioned album has already stopped production, i think.

So there, hopefully everyone is enjoying their scrapping life, it's beautiful isn't it?
