Altered notebooks {Sean}

Ruey gave me this cool idea of getting cheap notebooks for the kids to alter.  Armed with 90 sen (RM0.90) notebooks - I was determined to inspire my kids to make them and hopefully they will like it.  Alas,  Sean had the attention life span of a 3 year old.  He only managed to do 4 and they are the above.  However,  please note that the Love Conquers All notebook is for mummy... Bless his little heart. 

Materials used:

notebooks from Popular,  Chatterbox pp,  Autumn Leaves stamp, Black Brilliance Ink, Clear UTEE and 3 d foam tape.

  

Journal - Tornado debris?

Well - this certainly looks like it - a tornado ripping into my room. What happened here?  All the mess.  Its a result of Clarissa and Sean making some altered notebooks this morning.  It feels like they have dismantled my whole room!!!

Sean only managed to make 4 notebooks and 1 for mummy - how sweet - thanks baby.  Clarissa on the other hand scored a grand total of 12.  I am a happy mummy and this is my bid for the week for trying to take their attention off the tv and games.  I don't think I have been successful though.  Sigh....

Layout - My First Chinese Painting {sean}

Sean drew this painting with Auntie Nancy for Chinese New Year 04 and I loved it so much that I framed this up.  I am glad that I had a record of some of his art pieces and I am using this as an achievement layout for the SK July I did It challenge.

Materials used:

Bazzill cs,  Creative Imaginations pp,  Technique Tuesday bracket frame,  Hero arts chinese stamp,  embossing pad,  Gold UTEE,  Making Memories gold alphas,  Thickers naked chipboard alphas,  Adironback Acrylic Dabbers and 3d pop up dots.

Layout - Your Handwriting at 3 {Clarissa)

Made this layout for SK's this month challenge - "I did it!".  I found this very very old handwriting piece written by Clarissa when she was 3 years old.  It was quite dirty and and had some scribbles on it.  I used correction fluid to erase the unwanted parts and scrapped this piece of work.

I am back at doing cutouts for this layout as I was lazy. But I think its quite a nice effect on this layout.

Materials used:

Making Memories Kraft pp,  America Craft pp,  Basic Grey pp,  Urban Lilly pp,  K n Co pp,  Sassa Fras Lass pp,  Technique Tuesday Chipboard circle,  Felt by Prima,  Thickers foam alphas,  Making Memories alpha stickers,  Versamagic chalk and 3d pop up dots.

Layout - Why I scrap

There are many reasons why I scrap but predominantly - its cos I want to preserve memories for Clarissa and Sean.  I know I may not be a good mother in terms of patience etc but I try to be a good mother for their memories.

Its a very simple layout as I feel that it reflects me - just a simple scrapbooker. This page will go into the first ever country-wide Scrapbooking Circle Journal.  I hope to get as many entries as possible to this journal and hopefully this journal will be around for a long long time.

Materials used:

7 Gypsies pp,  MM Kraft pp,  Thickers foam alphas,  Dymo journalling tape,  Melissa Frances Trim,  Vita Bella brads from Little Yellow Bicycle,  Glossy Accents,  Crackle Glossy Accents and 3d pop up dots.

Altered canvas - Create (SK tutorial)

I made this canvas for the SK - Scrapping Kids forum as a mini tutorial.  Loved all the techniques that I have played with here and hope that the ladies would make similar canvases to show me.  This canvas is up for grabs as a challenge and may the best scrapper wins.

Materials used:

Canvas,  MM acrylic paints,  Jo Sonja Acrylic Paints,  Versamagic chalks,  Brilliance Inks,  UTEE - gold,  platinum and white,  MM foam stamps,  Tim Holtz SA stamp,  Maya Road scrolls and alphas,  Flourish pp,  7 Gypsies pp,  Little Yellow Bicycle Brads with pearl centers,  MM wire mesh,  embossing ink,  Jo Sonja textured paste,  ribbon and trims.

Journal - Back from camp

Clarissa is home from camp and the fighting starts the minute she gets into the car.  Sigh... Where is that Aston Martin when I want one.  I would gladly trade for these 2 brats.  I am not sure if this is hormonal but I think it plays a part is she is very grouchy and extremely fussy nowadays. Every little thing sparks her off.  I am praying that this phase will pass really quickly.
