His bday lo


I created this lo for his 36th bday photos last year. I played with a lot of distress ink, crackle paint n mod podge. I'm trying to incorporate different style n techniques and i'm most comfortable having more than 3 pic's on a single lo. Not sure how to make one with a single photo n simple look. Maybe one of these days i'll give it a shot! Hehehe...

2. Thank u yam for the pointers and tips on techniques, also for the crackle paint and mod podge! i love it to bits and tried to use it sparingly. Too precious to be wasted! hehehe..

In d 'PINK'

With V day just around the corner i’m sure I’ll be seeing pink all over town or perhaps a combination of red too!!! As usual this is my favorite color but I always tone it down with either a grey jacket/sweaters or black pants. I can never carry the all over pink look. I don’t have the guts! But of course it’s a different story if u r a ‘A lister’ Hollywood celebrities. Ohhh yes they look amazing! And oh so Barbie too..hehehe.

:
With the right combination of shoes and accessories it’s wearable too for us mere mortals. Donning a bright pink outfit doesn’t mean u need to wear a bright pink lipstick, perhaps a nude colour will suit better and yeah go light on d blusher too. Try to avoid clashing of colours, a brown or muted eyeshadow works well. Oh well that’s how I’d do it, no professional advice here just my thoughts! Hehehe.

:
I think based on these photos, my favorites wud definitely be ‘her’. Yeahhh little suri with mom n dad good looks and those lanky legs for a 3yrs old!!! *sigh*. Already she’s a ‘star in d making’ no doubt bout that!..

Only Me...



;
This may sound a bit selfish and u guys might wonder and think if i'm obsess with myself.. hahaha..h*ll no!! i'm just being vain!! well the truth is i wanted to project various style in wearing my hijab!! As in the photos below, there is 'tudung syria', and 'munawwarah' and also..'tie rack scarf'.
;


:
A jumble up of style i must say. Most of the time i just wear what fancy me and it depend so much on my scale of laziness on that day. What better way than to preserved the memory and moment by creating a lo for myself n my hijab style. I can never start on anything as i dont know when to stop...so please expect more lo's in the coming days!!! hehehe...cheers!

This is my fav song for the moment!! hahaha...

Crafting Session at Nachos...

On Tuesday I had a craft session with acik nah. It’s more like trying to complete d armalia portfolio n sharing a bit of info here n there. Like they say never stop learning and I am no master in any skills but I do love to share the bits n pieces of knowledge that I have. And by doing so we save a lot on classes!!! Hahaha. Terrible right!!

:


:
Well I can tell you that one of d amazing learning tools out there is you tube!!! Trust me..i learned to tie ribbons in various ways to using a corner punch to make a scallop border and how to cover a chipboard..n d list goes on. Well u dont learned that in class basically becos of time constraint i guess.
:

:
Anyway on that day we had a good session of making cards and chatting. I choose Nachos as d venue as I knew we will be spending massive amount of time and can u imagine d look of d waiter/waitress if we were to craft at other restaurant?? They wud give us d ‘get out of here’ look and probably a few irritating smirks too!! Hahaha. We did invite a few glances from curious faces but we love it!! hahaha. From now on we vowed to meet once a week at Nachos.
:


:
So this wont be the last of such entry perhaps if we did something amazing I will not forget to put it up here. And that reminds me..we totally forgot to take pics of our finished product!..darn…ehehehe. Okay maybe next time.
