Lets Check your toolbox.....

Hey.... as this blog went on live... I am in Singapore... [again]!!!
It's a tough and challenging year for me!!!

Okay.... Today it's my turn over @LESSology Challenge #23: What's in your toolbox?
This time ...we want you to use something from your toolbox on your projects....It could be screws, washers...or anything interesting you can find... isn't it FUN!!! Think out of the box!!!....

For me... the first thing I spot in my toolbox is ....my used sandpaper!!!!....I like the rough and glittery texture!!!... perfect for the choice of PP I used on my layout.... soft and pastel... Don't you agree?

So Com'on... Let's play along with US... over @LESSology Challenge #23

The Used SandPaper:

I used my Martha Stewart Puncher to beautify the sand paper....

Here is my interpretation:
Can you spot the used sandpaper???

Peace of heart and mind... when...

Indeed it was such a beautiful day today...

I sat down by Yarra river during lunch...soaking up Vit D...Bliss!!!

 

This layout was inspired by the word challenge over @Bird is the Word ~ Peace

and I used the sketch over @Creative Scrappers: Sketch #224

Something different... I quite like how this LO turned too...{no embellishments used...just faux stitches...ribbons, laces...self-made die cuts..}

I'm enjoying faux stitches ... [can you spot them??]

Random Memories... LESSology Challenge # 17 Fun with Envelopes...

I really want to cry!!!...

I really wish... I could shout and scream... I really wish I could RUN...

But I know for a fact it wouldn't help...

My issue is really getting OLD...I am so sick of it....

Wish I could make it disappear.... I pray I have the strength...I pray to be the bigger the person...

Anyway... enough of issues... 

today....I am sharing what I did for LESSology Challenge #17 ~ Fun with Envelopes...

I had so much fun creating this month's challenge...Way too much fun... !!!... I decided to upcycle my received envelopes..To begin...gently ...I slit one end of the envelope using my penknife ...and the other end I snipe it off to make it to 9"

 Here are the measurements

 To cover the white-ness I did lots of distressing on the edges...

 I  used Basic Grey Curio Collection to create my mini album ~ Random memories...How fun this is... using received envelopes.....[YAY]

I can't wait to see what everyone creates... so come on join US...

Thank you so much.. for all your love and sweet comments...
It means the world to me...hugs...xoxo
