Heart Of Gold Layout

Hello crafty and scrappy friends! It really has been a while since I've last updated my blog. So much changes had taken place within these two years. I am slowly trying to get used to the new norm. Are you all also trying to adjust accordingly like me?

Enough of rambling, here is my layout to share with you all today. It is a layout using an old collection from BoBunny. 

I've used a couple of chipboard pieces from Dusty Attic and flowers by Petaloo.

To add colors to these chipboard pieces, I've used BoBunny paint mists and glittered paste. To add more details to it, I've used Ranger Inks perfect pearls. 

Hope you all find today's layout inspirational. I really miss travelling to teach and meet you all again. Feel free to drop me a line to say hi. See you all again soon!

xx Irene Tan

Winter Dog

This is an old layout which I've created as a DT assignment for Bo Bunny sometime ago. This layout features the Snowfall collection.

Here are some details on it.

 

 

 



This collection is one of my favorite winter theme collection. If you've got some Winter pictures to scrap, try using this collection. All the glitters on the papers makes your layout looks magical.

For those of you who are first time visiting my blog, I'm Irene Tan from a far away country, Malaysia. I'm a new member to the team. My style....hmmm......I think you all should judge that by yourself after looking at my project below. I can be colorful and clean but sometimes, I love to get all dark and grungy. Combining tons of different elements and textures to a project is what I love to do!

 

 

The pattern papers on this layout is by 7 Dots Studio. On the sides of the canvas banner, I've used two beautiful pearl brads by ZVA Creative.

 

On this layout, I've used several mediums by Art Anthology to color it. I've used some colorations with a brick wall mask to create the background and some sorbet to add colors and textures to the chipboard, metal and layout.

 

 

I've used some flourishes smoke crystals by ZVA Creative to add curvy shapes and blings into the design. I've also used stamps by Vilda Stamps on this layout.

 

ZVA Creative Supplies Used:

 

BRBK-02CA-103(pearl brads), CRW-05CB-103(flourishes-smoke crystal), CRS-05CB-103(flourish-smoke crystal)

Joy

Since Christmas is just round the corner, I wish to share some Christmas projects throughout these two weeks before Christmas. This is a layout which I've created sometime ago using Bo Bunny's Noel collection. I've also use an acrylic angel and an acrylic stocking by Clear Scraps to make this layout a little interactive and fun! The wrought iron chippies are by Dusty Attic.

You will understand more after looking at these close-ups below.

The photograph on this layout can be pop up and use as a decor around the house during Christmas. I've attached an acrylic angel on it's left if you look carefully. It look as if the angel is peeking from behind the photograph.

This little open up book on the right of the layout serves as a journaling area or you can use it for your guests to write some wishes when they visit your home this Christmas! I've insert an acrylic stocking in this little book as a fun bookmark or you can use it as a little welcome gift for your guest.

Hope you all like today's fun and interactive layout! Check for more Christmas projects on my blog throughout these two weeks!
