You've Been Framed!!

More wooden frames…
I finally laid hands on the scrumptious Graphic 45!!. This is one range of paper that I have had so much inertia in using. Every piece is so precious. I am getting 5 pieces framed up just as they are, without any scrapping!!

Rita Hayworth: SOLD
This wooden frame houses 5R size photo and is propped by a hard chipboard stand. Added the rustic look by adhering several copper charms at the top of the frame. I am a diehard vintage fan and this frame will certainly be difficult to part with.



Cheeky Charlie: RM35
This is created especially to fit a male toddler’s picture. Felt cars and circle accents provides that boyish element.

Angelic Angie: SOLD
This is certainly for baby girls. The chipboard butterflies and 2 felt angels added that girly-girl touch.

Thursday's Reveal

As promised, I cooked up a few more items yesterday. These took up most of the evening but probably would have been shorter if there isn’t a hyperactive toddler to fend off from.

Roger Rabbit Wooden Photo Frame: RM35
This is a personal favourite of my son. He simply loves the stuffed felt rabbit. He picked this one out of all the items created yesterday and stroked the rabbit several times. The frame fits 4R size photos and is propped up by hard chipboard stand. Perfect for the display of toddlers' pictures. Name and age can be personalised at the bottom of the frame if required.

Edgeware Road Wooden Photo Frame: SOLD
The latest range from Making Memories papers, “Paperie” and Prima flower dressed up this frame. The word “Family” is from K& Co’s vintage range whilst crystals were individually secured thereon. Fits 5R size photos.

Farringdon Wooden Bible Plaque: SOLD
Bible verse reads: the Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer in whom I take refuge. Psalm 18:2. This is the last plaque from the Kaiser Wood series.

Bond Street Blank Card: RM18
I wanted to create a chic girly card that has a tinge of sensuality at the same time. The chipboard bag was painted in black before adhering crystals and dotted with Ranger pearl for the 3D effect.

Wednesday's Reveal

The remnant of the creative engorgement blues (to be abbreviated to CEB from now) from yesterday unloaded themselves in the form of 2 cards and a plaque. 2 more went to bed with me. It was past midnight. Hopefully they will make it to tomorrow’s reveal. Stay tuned…

Aldgate East Wooden Plaque: SOLD
Kaiser wooden blocklet embellished with leaves, felt butterflies, Amy Butler stickers, grosgrain ribbon, crystal cross (all the way from Michaels, USA) and 2 copper charms. Bible verse for this one is: Be still and know that I am God, Psalm 46:10. Great as a hanging decor at a cosy corner of a workstation or as gifts.
Queensway Christmas Card: SOLD
The 3 red berries were accented with Ranger's pearl powder for that "elevated" look.

Epping Blank Card: RM17
Meshes add so much texture to anything, don't they? The 2 copper charms finish off the "resortive" look i hope.

Wooden Plaques with Bible Verses

It has been so much fun transforming these Kaiser wooden blocklets into a hanging décor. It comes with a string of silver bead chain and can be hung on walls. Measures 7cm by 12cm, embellished with accented chipboards, crystals and vintage copper charms. The focus of these plaques is the bible passage in each of them and they make meaningful Christmas gifts.


Joshua: SOLD

Job: SOLD

Philippians: SOLD

Clock is Ticking

I wasted no time in cooking up a mountain of cards. The momentum accelerated yesterday as the day nears. Sped up on everything including dinner and playtime with The Son to get down to serious business. Actualised all designs previously in my mind into these.

In case you're wondering about the names, they are all names of underground stops in London.

Islington: RM17 (blank card)


Lancaster Gate: RM18 (blank card)

Bayswater: SOLD

Glocester Road: SOLD

Victoria: SOLD

Kew Gardens: RM18 (Blank Card)

Shepherd's Bush: RM16 (Blank Card)

Altered Wooden Photo Frame

Dressed this up with the last of my SEI stash again. Wanted to create a rustic chic look. The butterfly seen here has been altered using 2 types of papers, the inner one stamped with french journalling and secured with several rounds of rope ribbon with a heart-shaped padlock and key copper charms. The Maya Road chipboard crown has been embellished with crystals whilst Prima's layered flower made up the focus of the frame.

Margaretha Loo: RM65

These Hardly Made It

Read about it here.

Heidi in the City: RM55

I was the last person to own these final 2 pieces of Wild Asparagus. Reckon the best use for these simple pastel would be as journals with minimal trappings.

Kaely Burrington: SOLD


Judith Mann: SOLD

Finally found doilies!!!!! They were located in a dark remote shelf off a dark remote supermarket in a remote part of town. Funny how the intensity for these led me to exactly where they are in the most unexpected ways. Hence, what better way to name it than a remote town in Zone 4 London:
Hillingdon: SOLD
Apologies for the bad photo. It was completed past midnight and i had to scramble for work in the morning.
