Bad Mamee

I am a bad mummy....I let Benny eat Mamee noodle snack for breakfast today....erm but at least its without the super salty powder....

He licked the bowl clean

Actually, I used to eat Mamee noodle snack everyday for recess in school when I was little (with the salty powder).....so maybe that's why he likes it so much....haha.

Here he is on another day with a much healthier breakfast:And a shot of my happy accident:- the result of spraying way too much Maya Mist (copper) and Glimmer Mist (daffodil) on my page. I like how the Maya Mist changes the Sepia Accents bumps from pinkish to a nice coppery colour and I like how the mist pools to form weird stains. (that's the kaya squeezing out of the bun! Haha)

I couldn't seem to make nice looking loaves of bread from the paper, so made cookies on the page instead.

And what did you have for breakfast?

Recycled Rainbows

How to Use Up Patterned Papers and Embellishments You Don't Really Like (anymore):

1. Cover your embellishments with book paper so they will match any project.
2. Cut patterned paper into skinny strips and use them to make rainbow coloured embellishments3. Paste strips of patterned paper onto cardstock, paste a mask or a stencil over it (I made a letter 'S') and whitewash all over. Then stamp onto the whitewashed areas.
I used up 15 different sheets of patterned paper making this book. (I had a different colour scheme for each page) Not that its very much of a dent in my scrapbook stash.....but hey, its fun trying right? haha.

Lumpy, Bumpy and Brown

I'm done with all my three classes for March..... And here are some sneaks of the hinged canvas album I made. As you can see, its done in my very very favourite style - aka lumpy, bumpy and brown!Hubby helped me screw in the hinges and now its already to be delivered to Laine's where it will join my other 2 class samples.

- the 7 Gypsies book with Multi-Needle Coptic Binding and

Done done done done!
