Grungy Bracelet

I guess everything has it's first! This is my first time trying to create a jewelry. It's not perfect but it's such a fun try! I've wore this bracelet during one of my recent teaching trip.

In fact, I like how it turns out. It's so me! After this project, I might even try to create more jewelry in my free time.

There is also a little update on my next teaching trip to Japan. I'll share it when everything is confirmed with details. Keep an eye on it.

Halloween in July

As most of you might have know that we do not celebrate Halloween in Malaysia but I just can't resist creating some fun halloween projects after seeing those newly released cute little acrylic halloween shapes by Clear Scraps.

Above is a wall hanging piece which I've created using the acrylic bat minis with Bo Bunny's Whoo-ligans line. This paper line by Bo Bunny is a perfect match for these halloween shapes.

Below, I've used the same line again with acryllic pumpkin minis to create a keychain book with cute monsters in it.

Halloween is such a fun celebration and I do hope someday we will have Halloween in Malaysia too!

My fellow DT member of Dusty Attic, Nancy is having a "Christmas in July" giveaway on her blog now. The prize consists of some gorgeous Dusty Attic products! Good luck!

My Little Bunny



This is a layout created using Swirlydoos "Vintage Fae" kit. I've also used several stamps by Vilda Stamps on this layout.

Here are some details on it.

All the 3 stamps (the text script, the vintage postcard, the flourishes) in the close-ups above are by Vilda Stamps.

Even though this is a boy layout, I still tried to keep a little cutesy in it to show the cuteness of Ryan with his bunny teeth now. Who says bunnies are all bout Spring and Easter...lol!
