Heart Is Cinta

Since "My Heart" LO, hubby has asked to do another heart shape LO. I'm thinking on the title "Heart is Cinta" which means heart is love after reading a column in mystar today. hahaha...will try to do it this weekend and we shall see...and then I shall ask.... "mirror mirror on the wall....which is the fairest of them all?" wahahahahaa!!!

My Heart...

I was quite free last night. After putting Adam to sleep I felt like doing an LO that has been playing on my mind for quite sometime....(I hate putting my thoughts onto paper or sketch simply because I don't know how to put them....hehehehe).

I have one big photo of our wedding that I've been keeping and didn't know what to do with it. And since our 6th wedding anniversary is just around the corner (10th February), I decided to do "Hati ku" which means "My Heart"...

I trimmed the photo and traced the outer line of the photo onto a pink coloured CS. Then I drew a big heart shape making the the heart shape as superset to the photo (excuse me....I'm a mathematician...wahaha!).

Then I used masking and stamping method that I learnt previously in an online cropping session. The result - I Love it! hehehe....Tonight I'll continue chalking the LO and than if I'm up to it I'll put the title as well...



Here it is...hehehe..decided to only show the initial stage....sorry....the fact is the LO looks much nicer without the photo! hehehee

Family Tree - Sketch


I'm in the midst of doing a family tree for my two kids. This tree is a bit like a decision tree if you are familiar with the statistical tool....hehehehe...minus the percentages of course! I found it difficult to gather informations on grandparents and before.... :( so maybe the family tree would not be as big as i would want it to be....

Tried to get more info drom my dad but he can't remember the names...hehehe...and my hubby's side is hopeless as well! kekekeke....So here is the sketch from wahtever info i gathered from the old folks :)
How to read the tree:- The flower represents the female gender and the leave represents the male gender. The roots are my children. So the higher the tree means more names from past generations that I found. I think I will need to handdraw the tree onto a white drawing paper and colour the flowers according to whether they are from my side or hubby's side. So you might see the end product will have two different colours on the roses...the leaves I have no choice but to colour them green.
Hmmm...I might do the same on my family and hubby's. We'll see....

Scrapbooks etc.

Received my first subscription of Scrapbooks etc. yesterday. This issue is all about new ideas for new year, quick albums for a whole year in a weekend and bla..bla..bla.......Picked a few ideas from the mag but...hehehe....not sure whether what i have in mind can be put onto the LO....and not sure at all whether it would look as nice as i pictured in my mind...wahaha...talking about limited creativity again!! huh!!!

Sprained My Left Wrist

I sprained my left wrist on sunday night. Tried to move Lyana away from her brother but she was a little bit too heavy for me to lift nowadays. So woke up 6am monday morning and found that it hurt to move my left wrist. Went to the doctor and came out of the clinic with a bandaged wrist and 2 days medical leaves. hehehe...I thought of completing at least 1 or 2 LOs but can't seem to do that....

This morning I drove to work and it still hurt a little bit. At 9am hubby called and said that he left his keys in the car so i drove back home and came back within one hour's time...hehehe...IT STILL HURTS - MY WRIST!!

Pebbles Inc Chalk


Just received the Pebbles Inc Chalk that I've won in ebay end of 2007...hehehe....can't wait to try the jewel tone....somebody mentioned to me that if any way I'm short of eye shadows I just might want to try these on....hehehe

First Try on Mini Album

When everybody was talking and doing mini albums last year, I joined the crowd as well. Got excited all over it and asked for guidance from my friend hamy on the "how to" ...hahaha...learnt together with BB and it turned out that BB's one looked much nicer than mine. Mine was with no concept and planning on what was in the making at that time...simply put things together (that's the limit of my creativity! :lol:). But....I'm proud of it...so here it is...My daughter's 2007's academic achievement.

My 2008 Table Calendar






I almost finished my 2008 table calendar...hehehe...i know it is already 2008 but I'm going to put my final touch and bind the calendar anyway!

Play Time!!


I did most of my LOs in malay language so that the whole family can participate. This was one of the LOs that i did last year titled "masa main dua beradik" which means playtime for the two siblings. Two of my 3 heart throbes -- Lyana and Adam.

First Time Ever!!

I'm pretty new at this --- blogging. Please be patient until i can get things organised. Happy scrapping!
