My Glitter Rainbow

Remember when I said I had a glitter rainbow on my bedroom floor? Well here it is.. I finally have the photos that I took with my friend's camera.



This is my first commissioned canvas! If I remember correctly, the size was 16x20. My dance coach asked me to create this as a farewell present for 3 of the girls - Azza, Sherine and Nadine (sisters) who were leaving NZ and our group. I had a lot of fun doing this one... I put in sooooo much time into the stitching and the glittering, even had a near breakdown when I was struggling to finish it in time for our farewell lunch/afternoon tea session - but I love the end result!

I'm hooked!

I tried my hand at heat embossing tonight... played with American Crafts stamps and Zing embossing powders..... and now I want to emboss everything in sight!!

I'm really loving it! It's not as fiddly and messy as I thought... the reason why I never tried embossing until now!!! But now that I've tried it, I just can't get enough... so you may be seeing quite a bit of embossing on my layouts and cards in the near future!!!

I'm totally lusting for this:

How pretty is that!??!! It's hot pink too!! OMG I WANT!!!!

Oh well... that's it for now.. will try to take piccies of the cards I made tonight.

Busy as a bee

I have been that is.... so much so that I haven't had the chance to download my photos from the weekend off my camera! Hopefully tonight! :)

Work is still as crazy as ever... but I'm really squeezing in creative time at night when I get home from work.. and at the moment I'm loving the creative process and productivity!

If only I can get daylight to photograph the layouts I've done! Grrrr.... Hate winter (for the lack of light!).

Well... I'll be back soon... hopefully with pictures... the past couple of posts have been a bit naked I think... but still, I just want to update just in case all 5 (if even that!) of my faithful blog readers think I've fallen off the face of the earth! :D

The days crept up on me!

I had great intentions to blog on Monday about my weekend.. but of course I got sucked in with scrapping and watching Gilmore Girls again that I suddenly realized tonight, Wednesday night, that it's almost a whole week gone!

So I don't know if I'm going to blog about the weekend past or not... I may slip in a post between now and my last post! :)

It's been a really busy week at work and in the evenings, I've been scrapping too... but have yet to photograph anything since it's always pitch black by the time I get home from work and it's still too dark in the morning before I leave for work. So I guess I'll just have to do it this weekend. :)

Stay tuned!

Craftiness waiting to happen

I've been scrapping a few layouts this week, but haven't had enough daylight to photograph them yet (darn day job!) :)

So will do that in the weekend!

Have a great day! It's Friday tomorrow! YAY!

Finally!

Finally I can reveal my little project I did a few weeks ago.

I made a few nametags for the SISiversary attendees... eventhough I didn't get to attend, but a few little pieces of me were there! :)

Here they are:



I did them in SISTV colors and am pretty proud of how they turned out. I learned how to thread and use my mini sewing machine that weekend too! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're all having a great week so far!

Monday Monday

I like Mondays....the fact that it's the start of a brand new week makes it pretty exciting.
I get excited to see what the week holds for me.. so Mondays are good... busy but still good.

I enjoyed and savored the moments of my day and appreciated the little things.

My little thing today was that I downloaded Bob Sinclar feat Dollarman - Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now) - LOVE this song!

And then I danced around my room with this song playing on loop!! LOL!

It felt really good to do that after a hard day at work.

I strongly recommend taking time out each day to just dance with pure abandon!

And I put the camera on timer and took pics too! Hahhaha....total cam whore but I don't care! :D

Just wanna share!

Hope you've all had a lovely Monday!

Glittered Rainbow

I have a glittered rainbow on my bedroom floor! :)

Working on a special project at the moment and I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along!!!

LOVE it when things turn out like how I see it in my head.

It's lovely and sunny here today.. eventhough it's cold, I don't care.. I'm just so happy to see the sun!!

Have a lovely day all!!!
