Another Rain birthday page and card



This is the second page I have done for Rain's 2011 birthday.  The first below this post was done in a more sofisticated genre but this time i thought i would make it brighter.  Firstly, I took one of my images from Deviant Art and laminted them.  I made the ones for the card much smaller and the others about 6 x 4. 
I used printed Korean words  for the 12 x 12 page and stickers for the card.  I signed both with my DA name Kpopmum62.

The card is 36 cm x 18 cm

What do you think....oh I forgot the card and page say "Happ Birthday to you" in Korean.

Happy Birthday - Husband's card

I made this card last week for my husband's birthday.  the buttons have an oriental design and the papers are from an oriental cardmaking pack.  The words are stickers, however, my husband says that the first word is incorrect....the other two say "birthday". I dont know who the stickers are by but next time I will check google to find out.

Bookmarks




I made these bookmarks with the help of my good friend Alison. We made about 100 + for a special friendship day for a buddhist group I belong to. some of the bookmarks were Chinese/Japanese in style and these are the ones I chose to show on this blog. I hope you like them.

A card for Mum


I made this this afternoon. It had been in my head for some time and i used some old Junkitz papers and sticker alphabets. It was fun to do as I made it up as I went along. Using a tip from Two Peas You Tube videos, I wrote 'missing you' in glitter pen and attached a line at the end and front of the words so they look like they were made from one line. I added some bias binding as a ribbon as it was the only thing i had in my ribbon box which matched the pinks in the paper.


Hope mum likes it!

Happy Birthday Rain!


Here's is my first attempt at scrapbooking after a 3 year break. It's a birthday scrapbook page for Rain's upcoming birthday in June. Rain is South Korean's number one export to the world at large. He is a singer, dancer, designer, manager, producer and actor. He is all of these yet still humble and respectful of all his fans, family, friends and fellow artists. He is deaply respected byall who know him. Hence, I am a fan! As a proud member of CloudUSA, an American an site, I am taking part in my first ever show of appreciation to a world wide star.

I used lots of browns, and patterns in the brown or gold colouring. The swirly accents are 3D and glittery and the red wording helps to bring out the colours of the browns. I wrote a message to Rain in English and hid a translation in Korean hidden underneath his picture. Sorry I cant remember the names of the paper as they are more than 3 years old and they were scraps.

A New Beginning

Hey! Just thought I would update my blog after 3 years of silence. The reason for my silence is that I moved countries. I went all the way over the other side of the world to AUSTRALIA! Yep, I am now downunder. However, I havent done any scrapbooking up until now but that will all soon change. With greatful thanks to my good friend Alison who recently visited we got started on a project - bookmarks. Alison is also an avid scrapper and helped me with ideas. We made over 100 of them. I will post a picture later on. I have also, in the past year got into Korean culture a lot. It all started with the Korean Wave that is sweeping the World. I am just doing a project right now for my favourite Korean star Rain for his coming birthday in June. I am now a member of CloudUSA, Rain fans' American site. I am still interested in Oriental designs and unique gift making.
