Oriental Challenges- BE CREATIVE BE CHALLENGED`

2008-09-26T06:14:00.000-07:00

People are always looking for ways to be challenged. I am always challenged by what kit should I make to match my Layouts. Unfortunately, I don't really display my latest layouts, because 1. I am too lazy to credit all the things I have used on the LOs, 2. The journal LOs are very personal 3.Displaying my freebies are more interesting!

Anyway, I will be updating my Oriental Challenges every month. After the month is over, I am sorry to say, you will not be away to download them anymore. But I will have the previews here for all to admire.

So this one is the September Oriental Challenge(s) Nihon Yo Kit is the Challenge and Chinese Character has been an overdue challenge so I group it with the Nihon Yo challenge.

Chinese Character Kit

2008-04-16T06:11:00.000-07:00

I always like Chinese Characters, they are like art..and I love how all the good words look so beautiful. So here are some of this kit's LOs.

This is my GodDaughter.. I was funny how we both have the same expression but in different photo.

Here are my closer family friends. 4Beauties!

I love this picture. It's a wild flower found in Germany..I dunno if it can be found in Europe also.

My parents.. 35th Anniversary Year this year.

Mother's Kitchen

2008-04-09T09:27:00.000-07:00

The Layout is created from the Mother's Kitchen Series.. And here, my mom is cooking. I always miss her and her cooking.. the best! Best Curry, Best Cake.. Best everything from the kitchen!

Painted Umbrellas Kit

2008-04-09T08:41:00.001-07:00

Explained a lot in my Freebie page:

I am glad to have found some rainy day pictures to match with my Kit.. I used my GuiLin trip pictures.

Nothing dampens people who loves to fish not even on a rainy day.
I like my little girls holding the umbrella..

Yes, we were there last May, in fact we are planning to return to Guilin this May..maybe. I used the blue parasol to match with the one I was holding.

Fabulous Flowers very mini kit

2008-04-09T08:37:00.000-07:00

This kit was created because of a challenge. This little flower bud was taken just outside of my apartment block. I took several but she stood out and I had to have elements to match with her.

Splendid Sanya Kit

2008-04-09T08:26:00.001-07:00

This kit was inspired by my Easter holiday! Yes, I just needed to be out of this Urban Jungle and Sanya was just the opposite. So beautiful and relaxing. And I came back inspired and created this kit.. It's a little cartoon-y but I love it. I also love the add ons too but haven't made a LO for it yet.

I had this LO in my mind when I created this paper and I wanted some pegs.

These stones were everywhere, and I took pictures of them and turned them into cute tags. I like the waves too and not to forget the cartoon-y stickers.

The Paper is inspired by the towel I was using and a fallen flower which was on the towel when I got back from the pool. I was learning the TEARING paper skills. I like the Hibiscus paper a lot. It sort of pops out!

I just wanted to share the beautiful view of the Hotel we were at. The trees and that pool I miss it!

Oriental Ovature

2008-04-09T00:37:00.000-07:00

This is another fun kit I created. Inspired by all things Chinese.. I can see me making another Oriental Ovature Kit no. 2.

One of my favourite drink: Fresh Coconut Juice, chop it off the top and stick a straw in. Yummy.. it's so refreshing. This is the year of the RAT Paper... inspired by the paper cuttings in China.

The Chinese Knots are also another Chinese traditional art.
Here you see me at Shaolin Temple and other places in Henan.

I wanted to try to make 20 masks.. didnt know they are hard to create.. all the colours.. I will do it one day but now .. I am happy with one.
A beautiful lake near Su Zhou.

Cherry Blossoms are everywhere!!! I love them. This paper is inspired by the Lion Dances during Chinese New Year. I received a Red Packet this CNY and kept one that has a dancing Lion.

I stumbled upon some old coins I got from a shop, they are toy coins and I created it. This paper I used a brush from brush site.
I thought the old town of Zheng Zhou suite this paper.

Pretty Paisley Kit LO

2008-04-08T21:17:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to my kit Gallery.

I am truely enjoying creating kits !! Of course I love to do the LOs as well of the kits I made and here they are. Every Kit will have LOs. If you have used something from my freebie kit and would not mind me putting it up here. Please leave a comment where I can get in touch with you and I will place it here with your name and blog as well.

I saw this pattern when I had lunch with my friend and she had gone to the fabric market beore that and bought it. Of course I was a newbie and was learning PSE and took a few snap shot and made elements out of them. From there I made a few papers. I like this kit a lot, because it was my first attempt and one of my favourite colours too.

Here are the PP LO.
I used pictures that I took when I went home for Chinese New Year.
Here I am holding a Baby Alligator.. its body is very cold. We sometimes forget that there are animals that are cold blooded. I was thrilled to be able to have this experience.

Here I am playing Congkak, a traditional Malay game and I taught Thomas to play this game and he also enjoyed playing it.

I really love this swirl. It started of as one curve and one curve leads to another and more and more. In this LO I use about 4 doodle swirls. Here I used the picture of Thomas and my dad by the Crab Island Jetty. As the blue swirl looks like waves!
Here's my God daughter's mom, Mom and Thomas,we had just finished lunch and I thought we should have a picture together. It's my first time creating frames and it's has a little indonesian feel to it. Ribbons were too good looking but I made my first staple!
