Hi ya crafters, 

I'm popping by today to share a gorgeous 5R photo frame I have altered for my project with ColorArte.

Wouldn't you agree that this frame will be a great gift as a decor piece?

In truth, when I created this frame, I had someone in mind :)

So this is one awesome gift idea for the upcoming holiday....CHRISTMAS!!

Nothing beats handmade gifts! Agree?

I have made a video tutorial on the whole process of altering this frame.

Life Quote on Canvas For ColourArte

Hi peeps,

Popping by today to share a project for ColourArte.

Recently while I was rearranging my stamps, I came across this beautiful stamp from an old Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous collection with a lovely quote....

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

Lovely isn't it? 

A good reminder how I will not waste time on nitty gritty things that happens around us all the time. 

Here's the completed project.

Do check out my video tutorial on the whole process.

Like my project? I have good news to share!! :)

Altered Paper Marche Elephant A Project for ColourArte

Hello everyone, hope you are all feeling ok. Especially those in the neighbouring countries that has been affected by the haze from the forest fire in Indonesia.

As we hibernate indoors from the super unhealthy air; I wonder how many animals have suffered or are killed by the forest fire. 

It saddens me that humans are so cruel and destructive.

In memory of animals who were sacrificed or should I say murdered in this aftermath, I have altered an elephant in memory of them all. 

I have actually tried to find paper marche orangutan or birds, but couldn't find any in the craft store, so I choose an elephant - the gentle big giant instead.

Isn't this a beauty? It's my very own version of Dumbo :)

This is my video tutorial on the whole process of altering this elephant. 

As usual I have speed up the video so it will only take less than 5mins to grasp the whole process. 

Do remember to give a thumbs up if you like my video.

Here are some close up photos to let you check out more details. Instead of going for my usual sweet of vibrant colors, I went for a dark and rusty look in tune with the forest fire.

Thank you for visiting my post and checking out my video.

Till next time.....Happy Crafting!
