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

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