【12×12】String Art / You are awesome

Here is a layout featuring string art of a big heart. For a person who doesn’t know how to sew with a sewing machine, do the string art with a template is by no means a great and effective way to create an easy but stunning layout. I bought this string art template long time ago and didn’t use it until I saw Paige Evans’ Facebook group Happy Scrappy Place challenge. This template is from Paige’s Fancy Free collection with Pink Paislee. The rule of this challenge is to create a layout with any heart design with Paige’s collection. What a great opportunity to use the template, right? In the beginning, I thought it was easy to finish the heart …

【12×12】Hip Kit Club / Love in the air

Here is a layout following Hip Kit Club’s June 8 sketch challenge. When I saw this sketch, I quickly chose the photo that I wanted to scrap and took out all the supplies I would like to use in just several minutes. I firstly placed all the scrap papers and embellishments on the background paper. This piece of paper is from Core’dinations’s “Sand it, Tear it, Emboss it” whitewash collection.

【12×12】Hip Kit Club / That’s a good memory

This sketch is not easy for me as I spent some time in finding out the combination of different pieces of scrap paper. I hand cut some flowers and pink hearts and tried to place them according to the sketch. The title is from a project life card. I like to use ready-to-use title and project life card serves a good purpose. Here is the close-up featuring the cluster I created in the center of the layout. It is not easy to choose photos for this sketch. However, I managed to find out old photos of my trip to London …

Picture This / I love ART

  This page is made to participate in November 1st Picture this challenge. The rule for this challenge is to use die-cuts, buttons, scraps and photo(s). I have many buttons and don’t use them enough. I think one of the reasons for not using them as often as I should is that they will not “get dry” like paint or other Mixed Media products. And that also explains why I stock that many buttons.  For this page, I want to have the title “I love Art” die cut from Wilna Furstenberg in the middle and color the background with Gelato. It’s like a stage in a theate, which curtain is raised. The main show is “I love Art”. Some …
