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.

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.

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.

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.

Arielle Dambozzlee

Arielle Dambozzlee: RM110

This is a result of inspiration emitted from Arielle Dambosly's french number from the High Society series. It is the last of the two Maya Road chipboard box. Dressed it up in some of my favourite embellishments. Finally used the suede flower that I have been saving for nearly a year! Added a chipboard crown for that aristocracy touch. Painted the crown in gold MM paint and secured crystals individually.
Great to store jewelries, scrap embellishments, travel tokens or simply as a gift. The lid is easily liftable and it has a see-through frame that can be secured with a favourite photo. Some space is left on the bottom right corner of the box for purposes of attaching initials or other journalling if required.

What Makes Me Happy

THIS! I altered this wooden jewelry box in the all-time favourite paper of mine. Used the same paper for a journal and a cigar box and this has fetched a unanimous declaration of fancy. Loved the harmonious hue it reflects: soothing teal with light brown dots. Don’t the leaves emit memories of days in a nicely-landscaped holiday resort? And the ribbon added just a tinge of regal aristocracy feel to it. Reminds me of princes going off for their daily horse-riding activity. I do have a wild imagination. It is currently decorating my scrap station until a rightful owner claims it.

Mikaela Wooden Box: RM110
Size: 17.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep



Esther Ray: RM100
Size: 13cm in length and width and 4.5cm deep
