Recycling Scraps Again

Whenever I make a card, I'll start with an idea of a layout in my head. I'll o, ok, I think this would look nice like this. However, quite often halfway throughout the process, I'll go... oh, seems not right and it's not gonna work this way. I would have had pieces stuck together, sometimes stamped or punched here and there but don't know how to go on from there. Then I'll leave it there and maybe I'll come back to that afterwards (which can say NEVER happened) and start all over on a new card. So over the years, I've piled up quite a big pile of these made-halfway-scraps and its only getting more and more. So I challenged myself again... to create using that pile and this card is one of the results of the challenge. Also, this is my second entry for Simon Says Stamp Blog Wednesday Challenge of ANYTHING GOES WITH BUTTONS.

Method:

The scrap part is the middle part with the two piece of paper glued together with the washi tapes. What I did was I machine sew the first card's edges (not well sewn...oops :p), added stamped and punched out butterflies (which are from the pile too), and handstamped some sentiments to it. Then I glued the whole thing to a card stock and finished it off using button touch-ups.

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...
