April layout for Scrappingville and Pretty Little Studio's new line

Hello everyone, I'm blogging another MONDAY TUTORIALS today! We'll be incoporating mix-media with a scrapbooking layout, hope you have fun with this :)

Apply a layer of gesso on your white cardstock, a thin layer will do. Once dry, use circle and sun template (or any other templates will do) and add a thick modeling paste for a good coverage and let it dry.

When the modeling paste is completely dry, spray water onto your layout. Pick your favourite mist and spray them on the water, then spray water onto your mist again to get a watercolour effect. Concentrate your colour spraying especially on the modeling paste. Becareful of water dripping out from your layout, it gets very messy here :)

Leave your layout to dry and once dried you'll have something that looks like this. It will turn out to be a watercolour effect.

I didn't like the ugly circle effect on the left, so I covered it up with a big similar to polaroid style photo there and start adding stickers here and there.

Added a banner sticker on the left top corner with some stamped birds flying around.

A bicycle sticker on the right bottom and used alpha stickers to spell the phrase out at the same area. Play with different styles of phrasing :)

More cute element stickers were added around the polaroid plus some layerings. Punched out hearts and backed with a different patternpaper.

Double and triple layered the balloons for a super dimensional look, because the layout is uneven.

Hand cut your own letterings for title on pattern paper, they are more unique than Thickers! You can use a die cutting machine like the Sillhouette if you own one :)

There you have it, hope you have fun with the mix media idea :)

Get pattern papers and sticker sheets at Scrappingville shop where everything is available there!!!

GIVEAWAYS and a project woohoo~ :D

Had a really simple and yummy tutorial for Pretty Little Studios last week!! Not only the goodies are yummy, something yummy is packed inside too! A great treat for someone special today!

Prepare kraft papers or pattern papers would be fine, and cut with the measurements below.


Fold both 3'' sides together until they meet, then fold the top and staple.


Fill in colorful yummy candies such as jelly beans into your small packet.


Carefully fold the other side for closure, but in the opposite direction to form a traingular packet, then staple to secure.


Gather your yummy Pretty Little Studio goodies and start embellishing those cute packets for your lovely ones.





Pretty Little Studios is having their new collection stickers for giveaways too! have you heard f SAND CASTLE???!!! gosh, the pastels and those embellishment are just overwhelming! This will be a great opportunity for you to get the stickers for free before they even start selling them :) NICE!

NATT'S giveaway

TINY NATT is having another awesome giveaway again!!! check this out!!!!!!!! :DDDDD

Experimenting own style

Everybody's discovering what their style really is when it comes to scrapbooking... Mmm... I don't really know what my style is too.... I've finally made two layouts when 5 of my assignments has been completed (HALLELUJAH!) and these are the failure and success.....
I wanted to follow Celine Navarro's sketch on her blog (you should check out, it is sooooooooooo cool!) and quickly finish up the Field Guide kit from SC... sigh, it did not turn out what I expected. It's boring, straight and boring again.. wanted to add some butterflies and embellishment, but I didn't know where to put them... mmm.... some circles may help but I don't even have a single circle punch in my stash... oh so pathetic.... haha
can I just leave it as it is?

after the failure, I tried to make another layout not following any sketches or referring to any other awesome projects from those awesome scrappers the other day. What came into my mind was the Project Life display idea (i think they call it blocking?) + Celine's 'colourful' use on her layouts (yes, just in case you did not notice, I'm a big Celine fan, a really big one).

Still figuring out why the photos' are so blur :( so sorry about that.

I made blocks by measuring in inches, then worked box by box.

Used your favourite white Huey on your favourite wood background paper from Crate paper and added flowers... me likey the effect :D

Misted some of the areas with Plumb Thumb mist, the color is AWESOME, never have I ever thought this colour would make a project pretty :)

Super like this bee stamp from AC.... Blowed the inks and had this watercolour effect, and *wink wink* I handcarved the JOY speechbubble... please look twice at the JOY and later scroll down if you like it :D

A printable from oh-no I've forgotten the source! with the pretty Plumb Thumb mist again :)

Here I misted the red pattern paper with white mist then stamp the sentiment on... sprinkle TA mist and yeah that Plumb Thumb again....

Date please...

Do you like the JOY stamped image? Okay, I'll giveaway one set in 6s !... please help me by letting me know what is my style and comment on this post with your e-mail address please... the JOYful winner will be announced next Friday ( 13 April 2012 )... TIA :)

Have an awesome weekend!!!!
