"ME" Paperbag Mini Album

Hi everyone!! I have just completed my first paperbag mini album with the paperbags that were made by myself. The paper used were from TPC Studio - Boho Bloom Collection.

Well, being my first paperbag mini album, I took a little longer than I thought...... I was trying to have everything perfectly put together and that explain why I haven't updated my blog for awhile...... Hahaha.

I am quite happy how it turned out, beside it being a little too fat. I'll be making another paperbag mini, hope I take less time on the next 1.

Some of the inside pages.....










Some of the tags........










Thank you for taking a peek, wish everyone a wonderful day!!!

New Addition to my Craft Room

Hi all!! I am back in Switzerland, happy to be back to my craft room again.... and what did I bring back from Singapore with me??? Its the Big Shot Pro!!!! I bought it from the scrapbook store in Singapore. If my dear husband was not going to Singapore to come back with me, I wouldn't have bought it becasue its way too heavy for me to handle, the package weigh 24kg...... it was delivered to my mom's place in the original packaging, the way it came from the state and we checked it in as luggage and of course had to pay import duty at the custom in Switzerland.

This Pro is great, I am glad I bought it, also bought 4 Pro dies to try out and it cuts like butter, so easy. I heard it can cut accucut dies too and accucut has some awesome dies. :D







Now that I am back home, I hope to update my blog more often and hope to scrap more!!!


The first thing I need when I got home was making paperbags. I love to make paperbags album but there was no way I could find paperbags in Switzerland or in Singapore like those I saw on Youtube, some scrappers got from Michaels..... So I made some....... Quite happy with the results, hahahaha!!!! Now I can custom made whatever colors of paperbags to go with my choice of pattern papers.... not bad huh??? :D






Wish all a great weekend and thank you so much for stopping by my humble blog.

Hi everybody!! Haven't updated my blog for quite sometimes, am just too lazy, hahaha!! I am still in Singapore and am missing my craft room very much, miss all the scrapping stuff especially those bought recently, haven't had a chance to play with them yet!! Can't wait to return home and start scrapping again....

We had 2 full days of heavy snowfall, its really really fun............!! very cold though!! (as if I haven't gotten enough of cold winters in Switzerland. Hehehe!!)

Quick update on recent HAUL!!

Hi there!!! I'm in Singapore since the 30th January and were so busy preparing for Chinese New Year that I have no time to update my blog...... :( But I managed to find some time to visit the scrapbook store, "made with love", located in Plaza Singapura and bought some goodies. What else, love shopping for scrapbooking goodies, no matter how busy I am, I will find time to see what's new in the store, especially there were many beautiful things introduced during the CHA winter 2010. Being able to feel and see the stuff is so much better than ordering them online and having to wait to see them.




New dies from Tim Holtz




more blings and flowers from Prima



Pattern Papers from DCWV and Graphic 45



Mixture of new and old Sizzix dies







New blings and New Pattern Papars from Prima.......



I got 3 more stacks of DCWV Mariposa Paper Stack.


And here are some goodies I ordered from "Simon says stamp" 2 weeks before leaving for Singapore and it arrived finally, after waiting for almost a month.





Thank you for stopping by my humble blog and wish everybody a Prosperous Year of Tiger!!!!


Happy Scrapping!!!

My Christmas Present!!!

Yay!!! My christmas present from my dear husband has finally arrived. He bought me a MacBook Air, so that its alot lighter to travel with compared to my other Dells. I have 2 Dell laptop, window XP and Window 7, that I would travel with either 1 of them. This time I'm taking the Mac with me!!! :D
He had to order it online cos the local Apple store only carries Mac with german keyboard and I'm used to US keyboard.
With the christmas and new year holiday, the delivery was delayed....... supposed to arrive first week of January but we received an email stating that it will only arrives this week.
So, finally its here!!!!
Its very slim and super light-weight, estimate around 1kg??? I guess so. This is my first Mac, so I'll need some time to get used to it.








Here are the goodies that I won from Marie of http://www.theprettypaperboutique.blogspot.com/ They arrived 2days ago. I was so happy when I learned that I won her giveaway. I was just blog hopping the other day and wanted to check her blog to see if she posts more techniques. How lucky that I won her hand dyed tags, the flowers and the pretty card she made. This is another great New Year gift........ !!!! Thank you Marie!! for a chance to win you sweet goodies!!!





Hope eveyone have a wonderful day!! and Thank you for dropping by!!! :D
