Happy National Scrapbooking Day
It’s NSD today and scrappers all around the world are celebrating with all kinds of fun activities – crops, sales etc.
Thanks for dropping by from Unity’s blog and I just want to say how awesome and privileged it is to be on Unity’s design team as well as all the other great teams I’m on. It’s an added bonus that I get to do something I’m passionate about and at the same time, be able to inspire others.
Here’s a layout featured on Unity’s blog today …



Lots of Jillibean goodness here… I’m guest designing for them in August and I’ve got a load of yummy stuff to use.
The layout also features the new May Kit of the Month from Unity. It’s another awesome stamp kit.

Here’s another layout…


I used the Scalloped Details and Date single and lots of Sassafras goodness. These were pictures taken during the last few days of fall when we were in Switzerland last year.
It’s a busy weekend for the family as we’re preparing to move to a temporary place for the next 2 months. Lots of stuff to do.
Here’s hoping everyone has a wonderful NSD and a great week ahead!

I used the flower image stamped on ledger paper and punched out with a circle punch. I love them as accents.

An Earth Day Project
I was made aware recently that there is actually an Earth Day commemorated each year on April 22. So this year, to join in the celebration, I made a little project using old product packaging.

This box was used to contain chipboard shapes and it was a cute sized-box for some recipe cards I had been collecting at supermarkets. For altering the box, I also used bits of scraps from Noel Mignon’s Lovely Day kit.

And here is the final box…



Do remember to join us at Craft Critique on 22 April for Earth Day Carnival. Lots of fun, I promise!

Unity Hip Hop
Welcome to another week of Hip Hop and our focus this week is “Mothers”.
I created this really simple layout but I think the picture really says it all…

The stamp used in a faint blue ink is the distressed dots stamp. And the quote says “A mother is one who can take the places of all others, but whose place no else can take.” Love that quote!
My second layout is another simple one…


The little scroll stamp is from April’s KOM which you can still sign up for if you haven’t already. It’s already shipping now!
Time to hop along to the next blog .. JEANNE! Happy Hip Hop!!
p/s: All chipboard on these layouts are the latest releases from Riff Raff Designs.

Pencil Lines
I submitted a layout to Pencil Lines sketch blog sometime in February and guess what…

So a RAK will be coming my way. YAY! Thanks Anna.

Hip Hop Thursday
Hello and happy hip hop again! I missed last week’s hip hop coz I wasn’t feeling too well but I’m back this week. YAY! Be sure to follow the blog hop beginning from Angela’s blog so that you do not miss today’s new release and fabulous specials!!
I’ve 2 layouts to share today and the stamps I used on both are from April’s Kit of the Month.

It’s another GORGEOUS kit this month and there is a great special if you sign up for the kit this month. Click here to see what it is.

This layout was inspired by a sketch over at Inspired Blueprints. Do check it out coz there are 8 new sketches released this month.

I used Tattered Angels’ Glimmer Mists to create the background.

I stamped the journalling block image, outlined it with a black pen before cutting it out.

This second layout is a guest layout for Noel Mignon using their Lovely Day kit. I’m having so much fun with the yummy papers and fun stuff in this kit.

The “I Love You” sentiment is from the April KOM.
Hope you enjoyed the bits of Unity goodness today… time to hop along to sweet Christi’s blog to see what she has in store for you. Remember to stop by the forum for giveaways and fun today.

Jillibean Goodness
I was blessed to be picked as a Guest Designer for Jillibean Soup a few weeks back. And yesterday I received lots of yummy beans…

The guest designers got to pick what they wanted to work with and I picked the Minestrone collection. Gorgeous, bright, bold colors. LOVE IT!! My spot isn’t gonna be up till August 1 but… I couldn’t wait to dig into the yummy stash. Here’s a little sneak.


GCD Studios

Some fun stuff coming my way… got a spot as ‘product tester‘. Thank you GCD. YAY!
In other news, I’ve been down with a nasty neck and shoulder ache, haven’t scrapped much or anything else in fact because of that but I’ll be back soon. Thank you for all the concern.
Have a great week all!



I love creating and sharing my work. This makes me happy. I ask, therefore, that you do not copy my artwork, photos, words, or ideas.
