Wall 3d diorama

I like the Hi Dee Ho graphics from Lettering Delights.
The fact that with Lettering Delights you can do whatever project that you can think about. The possibilities is endless.
Bought the paper from Amazon Decopatch paper and Decopatch glitter glue

This is the SVG files im using. And already print it out and ready to be cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.


I already make my own shadow box and bought some decopatch paper and glue.



Here's video for you to see how im using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the SVG files.




Im using foam pad to stick the graphics. This project is really easy and straighforward.

They will always be my favourite

This British fashion brand, really knew what they doing, they can do the talk, they can do the cutting, they can do the style, they can also proved to costumer what its really means by talking with quality doesnt always come up with hefty price.

By far, they still my top list for Men's brand. Im talking about Charles Tyrwhitt.
Just accepted their new catalogue. And its blew my mind away. I like the front cover photos and inside they just become feast of style.


At the moment, I saw the trend for Men casual style to work. Hubby been asking me to found him new set of clothes casual style for work. Im sort of thinking "sadly, Charles Tyrwhitt didnt have that". After seeing their new catalogue. Once again they really on the ball. And proved me wrong, again Charles Tyrwhitt pampered their costumer and always update with the trend without being to much mainstream. 

Im ready to buy hubby sets of alots new casual style work shirts that Charles Tyrwhitt got. Oh btw, have you seen their Luxury calf semi-brogue shoes? see this link 
And their Mink desert boots 
Im set my eyes to buy hubby, Harris tweed classic fit jacket and oh my the list is really long. I knew i will spend alots for his casual style clothes.

Storage for my eyeshadow

I do like to use eyeshadow from MAC and Bobbi Brown due to their pigments colour and how easy to blend them with other colour.

Now since i bought the pro pan they need to be put in palette, so i decided to buy Z Palette- Large
This palette got magnetic base so my pro pan easily just put it in and it will stick.

And they have plastic clear lid so i can see my eyeshadow collections.

Best glue for fake lashes

When im using fake eyelashes, can be quite irrittating when the glue didnt do proper job.
Really dislike rubbish fake lashes glue.

lucky as usual Amazon my favourite site for shopping have things that i need. Duo Eyelashes Adhesive


This glue, is really famous among make up artist/ make up lover that good for fake lashes. Long wear and waterproof. I bought the dark tone so it will be left as dark colour rather than clear.

Happy trying.

Farm trip

The weather still gloomy, windy and rainy. But thats quite normal when you live in England especially on Spring time (actually this year just bit odd since it was snowing in early spring and in winter there's not much of snow).

But hey, even though the weather not so promising but going out is much better rather than stay at home. I dont want to catch seasonal depression due to lack of sun. So we went out today to a farm. Its fun to go there. The children love it and we parents enjoy it when the children happy.






We love outdoor activity and teaching children using the real life animal is much better than just a picture in a book. Im wishing by doing this it teaching my son how to appreciate and care about animals.

Card making gadget part 2

When im making my cards. I have 2 favourite tools that i love the most. It gave me good felling everytime i touched the gadget. Before, im making post about eletronic cutting machine. Now, im talking about Sizzix Big Shot.

These machine is manual process, no eletronic involved. You can embossing card, cutting shapes, using paper, fabrics, vinyl, etc.



Again depends on my mood that day, i can using Big Shot to do cards or using Silhouette Cameo.
I bought it from Amazon, Sizzix Big Shot


They really straightforward and you need to buy the dies separately. But when i got it from Amazon, the starter pack came up with dies and  the machine.

Have fun,

Card Making Gadget

I like art and craft no doubt about it. Making cards is one of them. I saw lots of people that already pro and they got hobby to make cards. Its really addictive hobby and relaxing. The possibilities is endless you can make anything and everything from the card making hobby. And the thing i really like is the gadget. especially if a company come up with a breakthrough invention to make life easier for people that love to make cards.

I bought this gadgets 3 years ago, when im still pregnant my first son. And im still using it until today when i want to make cards or some craft project to decorating the house.


Silhouette Cameo is eletronic cutting machine that you can design everything whether its on paper, vinyl, rhinestone. Not just cutting but this gadget is also letting you making sketch. These beast is really good on precision.  Definitely, great investment too. You can run bussiness from home using these tool without having ability to be able to draw/ designing.

Also the company costumer support is really awesome, whenever im in trouble dont know what to do. I just send them email asking about things and they will solve your problem asap.

I bought this machine from Amazon, Silhouette Cameo

For the graphics to design my cards usually i get it from Lettering Delights

If you still beginner you might be found this tools can be quite challenging but since the company costumer support is really excellent you will not find any difficulties for operating this machine.

If you thinking to get a tool that making your life easier for making any craft try this machine. They awesome.
Happy crafting.

Summer = outdoor activities

Now, since we have 2 young children its become necessity for us going out. If you want to know more you can go to this link

Last time all of us went to Stonehenge and by having our National Trust member card (since we member for family package), we dont have to pay anything when we went there include the parking and the best things is no need to queue even though that time its jam packed people.

Same case with the Avebury (smaller version of Stonehenge) and Winkworth Arboretum. When we became National Trust member basically they will give us booklet about any property/ building, beach, greenery, that we can enter without need to pay anything. And also they gave us sticker that we can put in our car so when we park in the premises of National Trust they will not charge us anything.

So far we've been using our National Trust card quite alot. And im proud being their member, since National Trust preserving historic building or historic places that worth to be kept well, yet at the same time giving us education and knowledge.

Ellen show

I love Ellen Degeneres.
Love her, love her. I didnt knew her until she went to Oprah and declaring that she's attracted to women.
Since then, i heard about her again on Finding Nemo, then when she got her tv show, im really up to watched the show and got addicted to it. am until today still watched Ellen Show.
I love the concept of the show the fact its really fun, and nurturing young talents and plenty of positive things.
I have a dream that one day i watch the show live on the studio, which i dont know when i will be able to do that, since i got 2 young children and impossible to fly out.
Been 4 years now no holiday, really longing for that.

Right now im already happy just to see her from tv.

Funny Sitcom

I watched these US sitcom that i found it really hillarious. Called Modern Family. Theres episodes of them that can make me burst in tears of laughter but theres also other moments that do made me cried.
Talking about family there will be no perfect things. The thing i like about these sitcom the fact they look really just like ordinary people and im so in love with them.
Sad, in England nobody aired them on tv. I can only watch them from the dvd.
If you want to buy Modern Family, Modern Family
Happy watching.
