Breeze

What is your favorite season?

To me, it is Autumn. 

Blue Skies, warm sunshine, gentle breeze...

Autumn is coming here in Korea. 

Gentle breeze brings smells of autumn these days. 

I used color scheme of CMS. 

CMS provides great color schemes to try out every month. 

Pinwheels are the good item to see the breeze.

I used vellum paper and transparent film 

to express right gentleness of breeze.

 stitches for the wave of  breeze

Breeze carries warm sunshine and blue sky in it.

Explore

I went to a beach last week. 

Golden sand sparkled in the Sun.

The gentle sound of waves, 

the white foam made by breaking waves..

It was wonderful nature itself.

I wanted to try express the scene in the layout. 

The photos were not from last week. 

They were from last year 

and have waited to be a scrapbook project in my drawer so long. 

I used glossy accents, glitters, inks and molding paste 

for the waves and foams.

cork die-cuts, a wood veneer, and buttons 

for the embellishments

I used Geralyn's wonky circles cut file for this layout. 

Here is her website. 

Journal strips wrinkled by the waves

I embossed distress embossing powder for the sand.

Bloom and Grow

One, no, two of my favorite pictures. :D

These were taken under the cherry blossoms in spring five years ago.

This layout is for the August challenge of Stuck?! Sketches 

and I also used August color spot of Let's Capture Our Memories

I rotated the sketch clockwise to fit my photos.

I made some cherry blossoms.

 I water-colored petals and added a little skein of yarn.

I added crackled heart shape and a blossom to the title. 

The title is from the song 'Edelweiss'.

Blossom of snow, May you bloom and grow.

I thought my kid's happy faces look like blossoms.

I also added some texture. 

I first mixed molding paste with some green ink 

then tapped the paste 

with a sponge to get a moss-like look. 

I sprayed green ink and added the green paste. 

I found a quote in pinterest. 

I like it. 

Enjoy Scrapbooking! 

Three Quarters

We are four in my family. 

Since I usually take pictures of my family,

there are three quarters in the pictures.

This pictures were taken in Mt. Odae last July. 

I used CS Sketch 274 for this LO.

I found CS had tons of great layouts I have to try.

I added machine stitches and various embellishments. 

 I made ruffles with ink-sprayed tissue paper.

I love these three quarters and, of course, as a one family, too. 

Colors

Usually I work with photos of my family  

but this time, I tried work with photos with no person. 

 I used SBC sketch #403 for this page. 

The title means 'Colors'.

I cut the title in  Korean with my silhouette.

The following flower pattern is the traditional door decoration. 

It's like a lattice pattern for the door. 

 The following picture is Dancheong. 

And this is the information for it from Wikipedia.

Dancheong refers to Korean traditional decorative coloring on wooden buildings and artifacts for the purpose of style. It literally means "cinnabar and blue-green" in Korean.^[1] It is based on five basic colors; blue (east), white (west), red (south), black (north), and yellow (center).^[2][3] Dancheong has various symbolic meanings. Dancheong also represented social status and rank by using various patterns and colors.^{[citation needed]} It functions not only as decoration, but also for practical purposes such as to protect building surfaces against temperature and to make the crudeness of materials less conspicuous.

I think these Korean traditional colors are really wonderful. 

Although it was a little bit tough to create traditional feeling 

with all the supplies are from western culture, I enjoyed this layout. 

I hope you like it, too.

a new dress

I got a good inspiration in Mei Li paperie blog.

This is  Mei Li paperie July inspired by... challenge.

First I liked its color and I thought it was fun that squares were making another square.

What shapes can triangles make?

What came to my mind was a butterfly. 

Recently, my daughter got a new dress from her granny. 

She was happy with her new dress. 

I made some colorful papers with ink sprays and distress reinker sprays 

and die-cut several butterflies. 

Girls just want to have a fun?

Maybe they want to have a new dress, too. 

I made some fun texture with gesso and Tim Holtz rock candy glitter. 

Love this soft colors of the dress.

With a grin

I found this photo in my computer a few weeks ago. 

Have you ever thought that wrinkles could be this cute? 

My boy was 5 years old and I don't remember why he grinned at me. 

Whatever the reason was, he was just adorable. 

I used 123 get scrappy  July board and I chose Turquoise/aqua, pink and gold.

I always have a hard time to pick colors and this color board gave me helpful tips. 

I want to focus on my boy's cute face so I didn't embellished much.
