Parents Appreciation Week

Over the Raya holidays, I dug up some old photos of my mom-in-law and my parents to use on the chipboards I bought. They were both really simple LOs because I wanted to do finish it quickly.


For my mom in-law's LO, I painted the chipboard with Jo Sonja's Cashmere background colour, then used crackle medium on it, then splatter Jo Sonja's Yellow Oxide acryllic gouache, then another coat of Cashmere. However, the cracks didn't appear as distinct as I wanted them to be, oh well... LOL.

For my parent's LO, I just used Pink Paislee's Moon Glade paper on the chipboard. I printed out the captoion, used some bling, and embossed the flower chipboard, and VOILA! Lazy person's scrapping work.

some cards....

Shamm made some cards to give away. The recipiants will be very lucky as they are really lovely cards. Here's wishing there are many more cards to come. Pink Paislee pattern paper was used for one of the cards.

Nice swirls with bling, eh?

More from Inspiration kit

Rachel made another LO and card from the Inspiration Kit. Rachel's LO and card is really outstanding. Simple yet conveys the message so well. More eye candy for you all. I just love the Pink Paislee papers.

Doesn't the little one look so georgous in this LO?

The flowers really stand out on the card.

All items from inspiration kit except:

Layout: Hero Art alpha stamps, Ranger Ink, foam tape, Daisy Punch, cotton, eyelet


Card: Cardstock (yellow and terracotta), foam tape and Ranger Distress Ink - Shabby Shutters

Here's Rachel's take on the kit.

Most of the items in this LO comes from the kit with the exception of:

Bazzill cardstock, fibre, foam tape and alphas, and ranger distress ink for edges of papers and chipboard.

Love the Blue Moon paper... Simply awesome. Now I've got to get myself to do something with it, too.

At long last...

Finally, I've got the store updated. I've put in the Pink Paislee stuff on, and soon some ribbons will be uploaded. Fingers crossed, all these will be done by tonight. In the next few days, will have other embellishments in the shop, including some from Around the Block. Trying my best to get that all up before the Hari Raya break.

Rachel's Child's Play kit designs

Have been away for some time. Before I give anyone the idea that we have disappeared, it's because I've been down sick for almost a week, and over the weekend was at Subang Parade's craft market. More on the craft market in another post.

Anyway, enough about myself. I have procrastinated for far too long, now. I have here Rachel's design work for the Child's Play kit. 2 LOs and a card. Super! Here are the pcitures. I just love her style.

Aren't both the kids really cute?

The Little Miss looks georgous on her bike here in this earthy tones layout.

Apart from the kit, Rachel also used the following items:
Bazzil & Jennifer Birch cardstock
Foam Tape
Ribbon
Ranger Ink
Fiskars Threading Water Punch

Beginner's Children Class

Last Saturday, we conducted a small class for children at ALIMkids Bookshop in Subang. A small class of 5, but we had fun nonetheless making a mini "I am Thankful" book. The kids were very creative and we just need to be on hand to teach them some techniques and they were off by themselves, decorating, writing, etc. It's amazing to see how much creativity children posses but are very often not fulfilled. Here are some pictures of the day.

All hard at work on their mini album

Completed projects, Yahoo!

The class of 5.

We will organise more classes after Ramadhan. Please email us at: info@kindasweet.com for more information.

Pirate Affair Kit: Cards Part II

Here's the second part of the cards that Rachel made. Another 6 of them, all equally beautiful. I am lost for words, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
