Take 5 Art Journal Collaboration - Learning to Fly

I'm back with another #take5art journal challenge with the ladies (links to their channels can be found in the video description) and this time around, we basically had free reign over what we want to use as long as they are the oldest or old supplies from our stash.



Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching. Please be sure to use the hashtag #take5art and tag me on YouTube or Instagram to notify me that you're participating as well. It would be so much fun if more people joined in :-)

Traveler's Notebook Process - Silly Selfie

I do not usually take selfies but I was feeling rather bored last Valentine's and decided to play with a few Snapchat face filters. And took this shot. I knew I had to put it into my traveler's notebook someday. I need to be brave enough to take more selfies and include them into my memory keeping.



Hope you enjoy this video featuring a rather silly selfie :-)

Take 5 Art Journal Collaboration - Nothing Is Impossible

I've really enjoyed participating in the #take5art challenge / collaboration on YouTube and it's been a blast coming up with different pages based on the prompts given by Kyra.

Prompts for August:
- text paper (paper containing text or fonts)
- napkins
- use packaging to apply media
- white
- yellow



I hope you enjoy watching the video and let me know should you have any feedback or suggestions.

Mixed Media Crazy Bird Birthday Card

One of my favourite crafty things to do is to play with Distress Paints and today I thought of incorporating the card I've made for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge into a mixed media series that I'm doing on my channel. Do check out the video at the end of this post.

I'm really pleased with how the card turned out and all the different techniques I applied to the Distress Paints. I especially love the mixed media backgrounds I worked on and the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamp set was pretty cute too. I only have 3 of those birds in my set. It was one of those "made for Michaels" (or was it JoAnns?) sets that came with the coordinating dies too.

 

This is probably one of the cutest cards I've made :-)

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Traveler's Notebook Process - Cameron Highlands

My husband and I took a mini vacation and went up Cameron Highlands to enjoy the cool weather, beautiful scenery and food. Of course I had to journal about the trip in my traveler's notebook, especially after a friend printed out an Instax photo on her printer. I think I need an Instax printer too! 



Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for watching!

Take 5 Art Collaboration - Smiles Are Free

Hey everyone, I did another Take5Art collaboration at the last day of July and this time around, the prompts were pretty interesting. They were;

- 2 stencils
- stickers
- circles
- white
- lips

I admit, the last one really stumped me but I think it turned out ok in the end.

The Take 5 Art involves 5 prompts that are randomly drawn. We will then use the 5 prompts in our art journaling and upload our projects together at the end of the month. It's so much fun! Be sure to use the hashtag #take5art if you're joining us. Also do check out the links on my video to see what the other ladies are up to.

Journal With Me Traveler's Notebook - Chamil Garden Embossing

I recently received my Chamil Garden Flower Season Ep6 order last week and I am so in love with the sweet, little stamps. Not only are these stamps very pretty, they are so delicate and came wrapped very lovingly. I did an unboxing video last week but today, I decided to use them in my traveler's notebook layout.

 

I hope you enjoy the video and thank you so much for watching.

Do let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Journal With Me Traveler's Notebook - Happy Ever After

I'm back with another Journal With Me session in my traveler's notebook. My husband and I recently had a photo taken when we were attending my mum's birthday party. We don't take many photos together as he doesn't quite fancy having photos taken and I'd much rather be behind the camera. What a combination!

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video and thank you so much for watching.

Shop With Me at Stickerrific

Stickerrific has long been one of my favourite stationery shops in Malaysia. I have been a regular customer and visitor since I first started journaling in 2015. And I thought what better way to show you why I'm so in love with this store but with a walkthrough.

 

I hope you enjoyed this little visit and thank you so much for watching!

Journal With Me - Olive Traveler's Notebook Love

Okay, the obsession continues. So I did a video about a sort of unboxing of my Olive Edition traveler's notebook and here I am today, journaling in the olive traveler's notebook. I am so completely in love with the texture and unique shade of this leather piece. I can't really place the colour. It's not a straightforward olive.

 

I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for watching!

Olive Edition Traveler's Notebook - A Quick Look

I was lucky enough to snag an Olive Edition Traveler's Notebook at CzipLee (a stationery store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) just last Monday as they restocked a second batch. I didn't intend on getting one at that time but I just happen to ask if they had any available, and there was. So I decided to get it there and then.



So here's a video "unboxing" of my Olive Edition. I am so in love with it now. The shade of olive is so unique and beautiful. It's always different in different lighting. And the leather feels more suede-like than my Camel.

I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. Do let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Do you have the Olive Edition yet?

Moleskine Mixed Media Art Journal

I finally broke out the large Moleskine sketchbook to use as an art journal, mostly to do mixed media stuff in it. I bought the sketchbook 3 years ago but never got around to using it. After watching Heba's video (more information on my video) where she did a "Take 5 Art Journal Challenge" with a couple of other folks, I thought I'd whip out my sketchbook and play along too.

I also wanted to use the Distress Oxide inks that I received from Blitsy a few weeks' ago.



Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Thanks for watching and see you again!

Traveler's Notebook Process Video - Ace Hotel Photo Booth

Hello, everyone! I'm back with another new video and this time I've decided to journal about the photo booth fails at the Ace Hotel when I visited Portland. The camera started clicking with barely and warning and all 4 shots came out a little funny.

I hope you enjoy the video and do leave me a comment should you have any questions or feedback.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Traveler's Notebook Process - Weekly Insert

Surprise, surprise! I'm back with another traveler's notebook process video and this time in my weekly insert. I have been thinking of uploading two to three videos per week because I'd like to cover other crafty things I enjoy too, namely cardmaking and scrapbooking.

Let me know what you think about more videos and what you'd like to see too.

Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Traveler's Notebook Mixed Media Layout - Lego Batman

The husband and I watched Lego Batman around the time it was released in Malaysia and of course, I had to do a layout in my traveler's notebook. The movie was awesome! It had so many funny jokes and pop culture references that my head couldn't keep up after a while. But still a fun watch!



On a side note, my insert is getting really, really chunky and I haven't reached the middle yet. It's a little worrying. I'm prepared to remove the staples in the center spine if the need arises.

Anyhoo, have you watched Lego Batman and what did you think about the movie?

Hope you enjoyed the little process video and thanks for watching!

Traveler's Notebook Flip Through and Updated Setup

It's been absolutely ages since I last uploaded a video but I wanted to film my latest traveler's notebook setup. I'm using it as a creative journal and am starting to enjoy it more. I never used it regularly before because I was trying to set it up as a planner but it didn't work out for me.
As a journal though, I'm free to stick all sorts of things inside. Even doing mixed media when I feel like it.

I hope you enjoy the video of this flip through and do let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks so much for watching!
