Happy Birthday Card

I am kinda free on this weekend and got inspired to make a card with the new custom made rubber stamp that I ordered from a rubber stamp shop. Just a simple 'Happy Birthday' card that I don't know who I will give this to..

Cheers !!

Ipoh Railway Station / Majestic Station Hotel

Ipoh railway station is a nice place for photographs for the architecture of the heritage building. According to the information I searched online, the construction begun in year 1914 and was completed in 1917. This impressive landmark is known as "Taj Mahal of Ipoh" by the locals. There is a hotel, named Station Hotel, above the station, on the second and third floors. Here are the photos:

Scrap-it-Lah September Challenge

I googled on "scrapbook malaysia" 2 weeks ago and came across Scrap-it-lah's page.. I was surprised to see that scrapbooking is getting more popular within the country. I was attracted to the September Challenge which is to do a layout using at least 70% of your favorite manufacturer's paper and embellishments. Hhmmm.. and I thought why not to give it a try.
'
The title of the layout is 'Simply Us'. I don't want the layout to look complicated. I just want a simple layout... a neat and tidy layout to suit my title of the page.. Here you go :

Card Stock : Brown Bazzill Cardstock

Patterned Papers (blue & green with polka dots) : K & Company

Alphabet Chipboards : K & Company

Die-cut frame with message : K & Company

Flowers : Can't remember ( I lost the tag )

K & Company Scrap Pad To Go Kit with Chocolate Neopolitan theme.
Love that everything is in it..I just need to mix and match the patterned papers.K & Company Alphabet Chipboards for the title.

It is nice to scrapbook again.. ^_^

Crafty Heart Online Purchase

Scrapbooking & Card-making is not a popular hobby in Malaysia. I got into this hobby a few years back when surfing online and came across scrapbook.com and was amazed by the hand-made scrapbooks & cards. I wish I can hand-made those too. There are not many shops in KL selling scrapbooking stuffs.. There only a few that I know ; Craft Haven & Scrapbook at One Utama, Papier at The Curve and Scrappingville in Bangsar. I love to visit these shops..there are so many cute stuffs to see.. things are just so beautiful. However, things are kinda pricey too. ;-) Recently, found this online shop called Crafty Heart. Things are not overly priced and I love it. And they are having a promotion : ALL STICKERS that are priced RM6.50 are sold at ONLY RM5.50 each! If you purchase 5 sticker sheets, you'll get 1 FREE! The promotion is so tempting!!!!! Hence, did an online shopping with Crafty Heart.

I love receiving parcels. Was so excited opening it... ^_^

I bought 5 stickers and get 1 free.. RM 27.50 for 6 stickers
