Project Life Title cards

Yes, I am very backdated with Project Life. I looked through the amount of photos that I have yet to edit and print and those I have printed. Gosh! I am indeed very good at taking photos... LOL! My project life album is full of photos more than journalling. Looks like I might need to get another album, pretty soon. Is there a sale coming in this Great Singapore Sale?

To kick off, I think it will be good to start off with the title cards for the months first, the rest will follow, I hope.



Now, I am trying to catch up with more sleep. I have night duties awaiting for me that will last for a few months or at least a year.

Long weekend is coming soon. Pity I could not go out yet. Enjoy yours, ya?

February ATC Group Reveal

Here are the group designs for the February ATC theme.

Feb ATC
We only received 8 ATC this time round. But nevertheless, they are all priceless for keepsake. I am always amazed that there can be so many different designs from the same topic. We are all so creative. Hehe. :)

Would you like to join in the fun? Let me know and I can introduce you to the group.

February Artistic Trading Card Design Reveal

Finally I have some "me-time" after my dinner to share with you my February ATC design. I have received the bundle a little late than usual. Some of the members' ATCs were lost in the mail transition and also lost under registered article. Some of them even re-did twice and still lost. I can't believe that they can be lost, especially under registered article.

The theme for February was "Love", hosted by Olive. This design was done very quickly as this is quite a universal topic for scrappers. I have lots of stuff related to love, just a matter of placing them together.

First, I stamped the "It's a girl" stamp and chose some pink ribbons that I bought from Daiso.

Inking and ribbons

Then I stamped the "Love You" and "So very much" from Technique Tuesday onto the checker paper. Pasted the felt heart, ribbon and "It's a girl" on the same background.

Close up

March ATC Group Reveal

The weather is getting more hazy and cloudy. And the pile of backlog for Project Life gets higher and higher. I began to start a new diary for the backlogs (March onwards) so that I can refer to any time when I start my motor again for project life.

I managed to take a photo of the group ATCs for March - Calendar theme. I am amazed to see the different designs from different people with the same topic.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. So how are you spending your time with your mother?

March Artistic Trading Card Design Reveal

Hello everyone!

It has been some time that I last blogged. Been super busy for the past weeks, not forgetting tiring. I have not worked on my May ATC even thou I used to be among the first few to mail out in the same group. I hope I can start to work on something next week.

I just received my March ATC from the host - Jeanette with the theme - Calendar. I admit that it was quite a challenge for me in the beginning as I did not have much scrapbook materials with that theme. Luckily, I managed to find one patterned paper with calendar months on them.

I gathered the stamps and materials needed on my table first. Stamped this Theresa Colin's stamp onto the sticker paper with red Stanzon stamp. I love this "Remember This" ticket stamp which is quite unique.

I prepared the tags by adding twine and ribbon onto the tag hole.

Here are the emblishments I used for the cards.

Finally, I assembled the materials onto the cards.

Hope you like this retro feel ATC. Watch out for the group design in the next post.

May 2013 ATC - Sneak

April is a layback month for me. I have temporarily stopped updating my project life for a moment. Thankfully, I am still taking photos and jotting down the happenings on papers.

I am still on track for artistic trading cards. I guess deadlines work for me. The theme for May is twines, hosted by Karen. I don't have a lot of twines at home. Just have to make do with it.

My twines
Shall start to think about the design soon with my limited mojo and twines. ;)

January ATC - Group Reveal

In the past, I was unsure the usefulness of the washi tapes that I saw at the scrapbooking stores. I dare not buy too many in case they are white elephant in my drawer. After I knew a group of scrappers in facebook, I realised that there are so many useful things I can do with washis...

Funny thing is that I don't seem to be able to finish one single roll since the day I bought my first roll. Do you have this problem like me?

As mentioned from my previous post, here are the other Jan ATCs designs that I have received from my group. (Theme - Washi Tapes)

Hope you like them too.
