Long overdue project that took me this long to showcase this. Becoming a woman of less words; I shall dive down to one of my latest project - A druggist's junk journal.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Entire book was made from scratch using tea-dyed papers and printables from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/553802581/junk-journal-kit-vintage-medical" target="_blank">Ephemoire's Vintage Medical collages</a>. Needtheless to say, the centre piece is a modified mixed media caduceus; staff of Hermes. With added touch of alchemy, as what was associated with anciently. Oh well, hence this book belongs to the Druggist who lives down the alley. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWQD6OlJLmLdumQyhYP5YbD0Svw5ISGq9W5G_4uvnNUQGlYc500lxsI8pgMIXkcQWhe4IopCW_UMbRTvamtrInCYjMR0GnL3cD1mUi5EtG67fZmO8CFpBniqE-1sdvuEOZH153znbrueJ7kZAwnvIs_ZRvtFOSfW6rY8T9NrglGbL_pbN_H-E9kE-9g/s2024/Katie_Zoey_Ho_Druggist_JunkJournal_00.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's also a hope we have within that one day we will see each other in Heaven after running a good race. This is a source of comfort for each other and also a way to cope and grief. Because of the pandemic, we're forbidden to sing by law and have to be masked on. As I watched sis Baby final moments during the cortege this morning... Seriously! This was really really hard! Tears rolled down and went under my mask. I couldn't unmask and wipe those tears and had to control my snot. The only thing that's perhaps thankful for is the cotton layer beneath the mask; it somewhat absorbs most of my tears.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhffoCEW9PMcpliyARZHZX09YO4bDtyKZRIW2mOJuFt1i0OuHvPkMlYtV5-1zp7guFqoQ2PDFs7jwU6tBQIDUb-Os8Tlj1QiFbLZ9ggZZ9UIciR9OmohPPbhLAC8DIkVfOEp3S9ZVHhmQSukVTkuymQYQgicCf-DoSNmLMbYsEIM420648joDMzG5I4vQ=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhffoCEW9PMcpliyARZHZX09YO4bDtyKZRIW2mOJuFt1i0OuHvPkMlYtV5-1zp7guFqoQ2PDFs7jwU6tBQIDUb-Os8Tlj1QiFbLZ9ggZZ9UIciR9OmohPPbhLAC8DIkVfOEp3S9ZVHhmQSukVTkuymQYQgicCf-DoSNmLMbYsEIM420648joDMzG5I4vQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It's hard not to feel sad given she had been an inspiration to many.

With that special moment I had with her in 2017, I'm so glad that my creative hands have finally served a purpose for good; this memorabilia will be a source of good memories for those who are left behind by sis Baby.

As I didn't get to attend one of my friends' wedding last year due to the pandemic where large scale event was prohibited, I didn't manage to gift her something. Took me this long, and I decided to <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-debut-creations-with-shimmerz-paints.html" target="_blank">repurpose and customize one of my past artworks</a> to do up this simply placard décor for her and her newly-wed husband.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEn9hP2vXP1FYs-hLWGz015YDYj7uTytzkAcYAL_odjGjjVwTQoswgRg8zmEftIh_O3lmsu3zz37gtlwRL88HjXaqKq62tdrvFlsp1Rg-sdJ9xIaOxyhaSasw39RM5zg9ensmWt8ahzLz/s2048/KatieZoeyHo_Shimmerz_VictorianK%2526EHeartDisplayDecor_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEn9hP2vXP1FYs-hLWGz015YDYj7uTytzkAcYAL_odjGjjVwTQoswgRg8zmEftIh_O3lmsu3zz37gtlwRL88HjXaqKq62tdrvFlsp1Rg-sdJ9xIaOxyhaSasw39RM5zg9ensmWt8ahzLz/w300-h400/KatieZoeyHo_Shimmerz_VictorianK%2526EHeartDisplayDecor_1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I die-cut several of the first letter of their names, "K" and "E" using <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sizzix-660056-Alphanumeric-Thinlits-Holtz/dp/B00LNE2PRI" target="_blank">Tim Holtz alphanumeric dies</a> and glue them together to make it thicker; as if they're chipboard thick.

They dry clear without leaving much residue unlike some solvent based glue. Plus point is they're actually quite strong!

Perhaps it's due to its very vibrant and geometrical colours and designs, it can be hard to balance the elements and colours together in a single project. I do think so. However, when comes to making cards, it might be a little easier. Making use of it's vibrancy, I made 4 cards that's strikingly vibrant with each of its distinct colours.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Prior to the start of the pandemic, I've been making cards for various preachers from the USA when they're here to preach to local congregations.

Ever since my last entry till we're in a pandemic situation, I decided to get myself back into crafting to ease the stress and tension that's related to COVID-19, as a form of outlet. There were some projects done in midst, however I simply didn't take the time to get myself active in blogging. Well, I'd reckon perhaps only a few will read.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Nonetheless, in today's entry I'd like to talk about mood boards; something many creative individuals will know what I'll be talking about. Please pardon me as I'm not a trained creative artist, as I'm mostly self-taught. This is a 2019 project class I've devised for a group of ladies, teaching them about recycling and how creating a mood board will help to facilitate ideas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Everyone will have a least a friend that means a lot to them. Ever since I join as a new member in my local Church of Christ congregation, I got to know a lot of amazing and inspirational people there. Given that I didn't know anyone in the church before I came in, it could be a rather daunting experience to face so many unfamiliar faces. Eunice is one of many unfamiliar faces among the crowd who had extended her very warm welcome on my very first Sunday there. And this is very unforgettable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Alas, for the past <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog/Paper-Crafting-Gift-Ideas" target="_blank">Graphic 45 #G45lightside challenge</a> that happened in May (which was also my very last ambassador post with therm 😢), I'm presenting this gift set idea for Eunice. Took me this long to settle down to blog this entry. As much I know I'm rather late in updating, I decided to just to get this done...</div>

Knowing how busy her life can be as a doctor, I decided to gift her a book about balancing life. It's a book written with biblical principles in mind to aid Christians in finding and keeping balances in life. I have this book as well and I thought this will make a great gift to Eunice. </div>

Decided not to just merely wrapping up the book like a typical present, I made a book sleeve as part of the gift wrap. Learned that green is Eunice's favourite colour, I decided to pair up the book with a personalized bookmark that bears her name.</div>

Graphic 45 Garden Goddess is perhaps one of the paper collection that mainly features various women within the entire collection. And this makes creating female-related gifts a much easier choice. Eunice is someone who has this positive and kind vibe in her that I find this sunflower goddess a good fit in her personality. Instead of presenting this with a "Happy Birthday" title in front of the gift packaging (which is what this gift is intended for initially), I chose a "Many Thanks" diecut frame to thank her as a friend to me. </div>

Oh well, it's better late than never in updating! I hope this can keep myself within the loop even I've been rather quiet recently. I hope to come back really soon, actively whenever time allows me to. Nonetheless, this won't be the last entry of the year (I promise!) and there'll be more to come; for the least with some level of consistency (I hope!)...<br />

One of the brethren in my church actually fell in love with my work after I showed him my blog on what I'm doing over here as a crafter/artist. Despite not an avid crafter himself, he was rather amazed by the work I do. So much so that he even watched most of my YouTube videos and read my blog, just to found my tutorial on the making of the fairy tooth door shrine an impressive one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And so... from there on after much communication about my works, he thought it'd be good to get something for the kids he adores from the church in Perth. Without much hesitation, this fairy tooth door is the ultimate choice for them.</div>

It came so handy right after I've created one as my <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2018/06/my-first-post-as-graphic-45-brand.html" target="_blank">pioneer blog post for Graphic 45</a> as their ambassador last year. As it's going to be a gift, I decided to do up a shadow box specifically to fit the door in so that it will be easier for them to bring it over to Australia as well as for easy storage when it reaches the hands of the children. Took a great amount of Fairie Dust papers to doll up the shadow box. Not to mention, abundance of flowers on top of the box. These are Graphic 45 <a href="http://shrsl.com/1lgh3" target="_blank">ivory flowers </a>which I've colour sprayed them with some Prima purple mist to match the papers. </div>

Greetings everyone! I know it has been a long long time that I had not been really updated. I wasn't missing in action, neither am I gone in the crafting space! It's just that I was caught up with a lot of things later and with my digital gadgets getting old and slow, I couldn't update fast enough to catch up. It's really time to upgrade some of my gadgets before they die on me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, this is a long due post that I've yet to share personally on my blog but to most it has been featured on <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog/Imagine-art-journal" target="_blank">Graphic 45 blog</a>. I'm deeply sorry that I took that long to come online. However, better than never while all my digital gadgets are functioning, I'm going to update as much as I could. Here is my very first page layout I've done in the <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2018/08/a-skinny-imagine-junk-journal.html" target="_blank">junk journal</a> I've done for Graphic 45 previously. As stated in my <a href="https://youtu.be/ma8ebsRyKvM" target="_blank">orientation video</a>, I might do up a series so this is the very first episode I'm gearing towards at.</div>

It's just a very simple layout I created using the various elements from the paper collection. Because I wanted this journal to be flat, it's not going to be dimensional. I've provided some tips over at <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog/Imagine-art-journal" target="_blank">Graphic 45 blog</a> which you can hop over to read more. Below is a short run through start to finish video in how I do this layout up. </div>

Oh well, before I get into this... Happy 2019! Though a little late for the New Year greetings (it's March now!), I still feel there's a need to greet everyone who reads my blog. 💝</div>

For the very first project of 2019, it's probably one major project to begin with that took me about a month plus to get this done up. Planning started as early as late December. Sharing here is one special wedding guest book I've done for one of my girlfriends, who got married recently. It's also one project that I decided to use it for <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog/DIY-Wedding-Gift-Ideas" target="_blank">Graphic 45 February challenge</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wedding guestbook is perhaps one of the basic essentials most couples would want to have during their big day, a book that allows all their friends and families to jot down their heartfelt blessings and messages. While it's easy to get the wedding planner to get one for you, my friend Sarah actually approached me to help her with this. What really touches me is that she entrust this entirely to me, believing I'd be able to deliver the very best for her. That's the best part, but it could also mean stress to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowing her wedding was going to be of a garden theme and would be held in a colonial house restaurant with a rich history, I thought a dainty wood-grain textured cover with a touch of gold and distressing brown would be more suited. Bearing in mind of the colour scheme Sarah was using for her wedding, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1hb5c" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Princess collection</a> is the way to go...</div>

"Once Upon A Time" is title of the guest book within where I modified and re-engineering the pocket albums into a functional book by means of bookbinding. It took me a while to figure out how to integrate the book onto it's cover. After much thinking, I decided to keep the book separate from it's cover.</div>

To make the entire guest book an interesting one, some of the couple's pictures were made detachable using magnets where they can place their photos anywhere they want. This will add some fun to it and not making the guest book a boring one. Rather it'd be very close to heart and personal.</div>

Bonjour! Everyone! It's the very last day of 2018 and tomorrow will be a brand new year. 2019 is just round the corner! And today will be my very last post for this year over at my blog. It's a card project I made in November. I'm sorry that it had took me this long to present here on the very last day of 2018. Due to my busy schedule, finding time in between has proven quite a challenge for me. Nonetheless, I still manage to make it before 2019!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These masculine cards are especially made for 4 brethren who came all the way from the United States to Singapore, who travel afar in order to preach God's Word. It's a show of earnest appreciation and gratitude in the kind of work they do for the benefit of mankind. For this year, I choose a theme of masculine grandeur using various collection from Graphic 45 to create this quartet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Red and Black are the chosen colours as my base, with gold as the main focus. Placing Victorian clock as the main central element of the cards is exactly what was planned for. Though the design seems relatively simple at it's first look, the search in finding the perfect match with synchronization was indeed a challenging task. It took me close to a week to get all the necessary papers with the right colours and patterns together. Matching them up was another challenge to me, simply because I want them to look like a quartet, yet unique and different from one another. Though each of them is gifted to 4 individuals, but all share the same kind of look. When they're gathered together, they're consider as ONE body; like a quartet of individuals that have different personalities.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A quartet of 2 blacks and 2 reds, which can be paired up as duos. However, all of them possess the same clock face. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1ctsh" target="_blank">clock die</a> from Graphic 45 was honestly the best chosen choice for this project; timeless and classy. What I really love about this die is the intricate delicate design that make the clock a very Victorian one when diecut onto <a href="http://shrsl.com/pnme" target="_blank">metallic gold cardstock</a>. What's really interesting is that the clock hands are designed as such that they can be made movable, giving some dimensions to your project. </div>

I'd suppose such intricate cards need some sort of instructional manual in place to retain their glory. Therefore, I decided to come up with my very own version of card care manual (with some biblical essence injected within) to go with this quartet; enclosed within the policy envelopes. The introduction might seems like I'm the one narrating about my creation when read initially. However, when one takes a little more effort to read further within, the expression does reflects biblically on the main essence of God and His creations, and how mankind are a reflection of His creation (Genesis 1:27). Something worth pondering about our existence... </div>

Last but not the least, not forgetting the packaging! These cards are carefully packed into polyacetate bags and sealed. As usual, I'm not ashamed to tell people to share and flaunt my work with some disclaimer's clauses and a butterfly on top as a messenger of the message. 😄 </div>

That's about it for this year 2018! Till next year we shall meet again! I hereby wish everyone the most merriest 2019 New Year ahead. Not much New Year Resolution for me as it doesn't really works on me. I prefer to refresh my day and have resolutions on a frequently basis rather than keep it till the end of the year. This makes much more sense to me as life is full of uncertainties. There's so little you can control.

Perhaps my first rather familiar encounter with Kewpie was probably from a bottle of mayonnaise that's widely known as <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2013/03/22/food/why-not-just-add-a-dollop-of-mayonnaise/#.V0x5E5F96VM" target="_blank">Kewpie Mayonnaise</a> by Kewpie Corporation, a Japanese food manufacturer who popularize the condiment. I might have some personal "close up contacts" with Kewpie dolls while I was young however they didn't get into me till I had some Kewpie Mayonnaise! In fact, <a href="https://thelibrary.org/lochist/periodicals/bittersweet/fa77k.htm" target="_blank">Kewpies</a> are comic strip cartoon characters created and developed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_O%27Neill" target="_blank">Rose O'Neill</a>, an American cartoonist and illustrator in 1909. As little as I know about Kewpies, I believe everyone of us has somehow have some sort of childhood encounter with them.</div>

Well, I really have to say they are really cute! When I received my Graphic 45 Christmas Magic collection, I was delighted to see so many cuties within the collection and those Kewpies just caught my attention. They are way too adorable that I had to come up with something. Kewpie Post is what came into my mind back then. Combining with my love for flying matchboxes, I came up with an idea that they can "fly off" from the tags... </div>

My initial intention is to make the tags as a whole piece, without any separating elements or parts to them, but this seems like it would have probably "defeated the purpose" of adding wings onto the matchboxes. To make them removable and "flyable", I used magnets to "adhere" them together. Notice how these flying matchboxes "flying away" from their "bases"? That's practically the idea behind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used a variety of floral embellishment from mulberry ones to die-cuts holly leaves to create levels of dimensions. Used loads of metallic gold and iridescence here; from fanciful dollies to glittery flowers and ribbons. It's all these shimmerings elements that make the project stands out and not making these Kewpie dolls doing their job in vain. </div>

"Tis the Season" wreath is a <a href="https://g45papers.typepad.com/.a/6a011570479cdc970b01bb091daf63970d-600wi" target="_blank">stamped image</a> from Graphic 45 previous Christmas collection, St. Nicholas, which I coloured with colour pencils to create a wreath base for the flying mtachbox to land onto. Subtly choosing colour pencils as my colouring medium to create this distinction, making the process in creating this tag a more "dimensional" one. After much thinking and searching for the right embellishments, I decided to make my very own tassles and insert them as "tails" to match the whole design using the metallic gold crochet yarn I found in a box of yarns and strings. </div>

Not forgetting these cute little Santa helpers, who play a vital part in making these magical Kewpie Post tags a more interesting one. They are also "removable" with magnets adhered at their backs where they can "jump" onto the wreath base on the tags or back to their respective matchboxes. Added a little jingle bell within each drawer adds some jingles as I pull the drawers. Since it's for this holiday season, I'd think this will add in some fun to the entire project.</div>

Last but not the least, I kept the back of the tags as simple as possible so as not to complicate the design so much. I've provided some tips over at <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog/Magical-Kewpie-Tags" target="_blank">Graphic 45 blog</a> which I didn't share it here.

On 3rd March this year, I've witnessed the wedding of a lovely couple I know - Ernest and Stephanie. As part of my wedding gift to them, I did a guest book for them. It was also part of <a href="http://blog.canvascorpbrands.com/july-challenge-wedding/" target="_blank">Canvas Corp July Wedding Challenge</a> this July. A long overdue project update here. This entry was on draft mode for very long till the birth of their son Theopilus reminded me on this book. Without much talking, here is what I've made for them.</div>

The guest book itself is a vintage ledger book from 7gypsies Architextures which I purchased it for this purpose. I merely did up a mixed media layout for them on the front cover. I used quite a number of die-cuts for this layout, mainly from <a href="http://shrsl.com/1c6aj" target="_blank">Tim Holtz steel dies</a>. I tried to match up to the "look" of the photos they provided me and decided upon a rustic, dainty nature look. As always, I love to centralize my design focus as this is one of my most preferred layout.</div>

Loads of floral and swirls, together with touches of twine, burlap, handwritten script and woodgrain effects which I transformed bits of chipboards into. Since the front is already quite dimensional, I kept the back of the book as simple as possible.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wedding is just only a ceremonial indication of a marriage between a man and a woman, what's really important is the marriage itself. Therefore, I didn't just stop at the front cover, and think it'd be better to have one more layout of this lovely couple right at the very first page of the book which marks as the very new beginning for them after their wedding.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">It's probably one of those per</span>iod of time I went "missing" online; not updating my blog and other social media for an extended period of time. I was on a break for 3 months prior to my <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2018/12/a-bride-to-be-card-for-gorgeous-bride.html" target="_blank">first entry for this month</a>. Prior to that, somewhere last year, I was on a long 9 months break before I made my <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2017/11/a-special-box-of-memorabilia.html" target="_blank">blog entry on November</a> last year. Yet I left some traces of my digital footprints over at my personal Facebook and Instagram. For those who are curious on what I've been up to, perhaps this entry will probably fu<span style="text-align: justify;">lfill your curiosity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As such is life, things do happen. In as much when most of us tried to keep ourselves abreast to what's going on around us, certain things tend to happen that are not always within our control. For me, I'm no exception and sometimes I wish I can stay committed on one thing at a time. But we all know that's not always possible. Most of the times, we've to wear a lot of different hats - switching from one role to another - or even several hats at the same time. It can be hard to stay focus.<br />
<br />
Like what I've stated above, things happened and it was a major one that impacted my life so greatly that God is all I have. In early 2017, I started to develop an immense interest towards the Bible and would want to "renew" my faith with God and decided to go through a series of self study of the Bible. That's the period of time I went "missing" between February to October last year. Never would I know, I was embarking onto a spiritual journey to seek a Truth that changed my life forever. I was a "Christian" for close to 13 years worshiping in a denominational church that my faith wasn't really there. Though there were Sundays I attended worships and services, I was there merely there for the sake of "refreshing" my faith.<br />
<br />
Because I was brought to Christ via <a href="https://video.wvbs.org/video/the-sinners-prayer/" target="_blank">The Sinners' Prayer</a> together with the doctrine of "<a href="http://apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=11&article=2814&topic=354" target="_blank">once saved always saved</a>", it was only natural for me to think that it's only rightful I'll be in <a href="https://video.wvbs.org/video/the-truth-about-heaven/" target="_blank">Heaven</a> after my death regardless of what I do in my current life which include sins of any sorts (<i>from as small as telling a little white lie, saying things and don't mean it, passing awful remarks about someone behind their back, gossiping, calling God's name in vain to slandering, stealing, cheating, murdering etc. just to name a few - Romans 1:28-32</i>). Whenever I didn't feel like attending any sort of services or even renege my words, I highly doubt God will fault me on that. Since my ticket to Heaven is already secured no matter what I do or say, does that really matter? Well, not till after a series of Bible studies and I found out that it's not true... God knows everything and He will judge (Hebrews 4:13)!<br />
<br />
The more I study the Bible, it was even more scary and perplexing for me to find out <a href="https://youtu.be/Ie_9pgGowpw" target="_blank">I wasn't even saved to begin with</a>. Because of my will and desire to honestly seek for Him (Jeremiah 29:13-14), I went through weeks of searching to get myself into the ONE true Church of Christ where Jesus built upon (1 Peter 2:9-10). I'm not going to go through all the details here for it's going to be way too long for a blog entry. Long story short, after coming to the knowledge of the Truth, I finally got myself baptized for the remission of my sins (Romans 6:4) on 16th June 2017 at <a href="https://www.lapcoc.org/" target="_blank">Lim Ah Pin Church of Christ (LAPCOC)</a>, one of the faithful congregations under the body of Christ; I was officially born a Christian.<br />
<br />
After my baptism, as a new babe of Christ (even I've done quite a substantial amount of Bible studies), I stumbled and fell several times in my life while trying to walk in the light. And this explains my second "missing" during the last 3 months here. Traces of me "disappearing" started from June onward, to be more accurate. I apologized that I've not been really updating and most of my DT assignments got stalled because of that. I was trying out certain things and got myself too overwhelmed by the things of the world. It was till recently, after a series of lectureships and Gospel meetings I attended brought me into perspective. I should say I'm at the period of readjusting and will be busy with the right things (I hope and praying hard for this). As some of you probably have known, I'd like to make my crafting interest into a full time career. It has always been at the back of my mind and every time I think about it I really want to execute them immediately. Alas! It didn't always happen. I'm always distracted and get caught up by things around me. I'm actually praying for this and hope one day it will really happen.<br />
<br />
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the faithful brethren (just way too many to list them out here!) behind <a href="https://video.wvbs.org/" target="_blank">WVBS</a>, <a href="http://apologeticspress.org/" target="_blank">Apologetic Press</a> and <a href="https://www.lapcoc.org/" target="_blank">LAPCOC</a> who has worked relentlessly to preach the one and only pure Word of God to the lost that I'm able to seek the Truth as a lost soul.<br />

"<b>Happiness blossoms where seeds of kindness have been thoughtfully planted.</b>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure who actually came out with that quote, nonetheless it's a thoughtfully penned phrase and I'd think it doesn't really cost that much to be kind. It's all about the thoughts that count. One of my lovely sisters-in-Christ, Sarah is getting married real soon, and in celebration of her upcoming Wedding, a group of us decided to throw her a bridal shower. I was therefore tasked to do up a card for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And here is what I've made for her, which was already presented to her 2 weeks ago during her bridal shower. <a href="http://shrsl.com/1bqco" target="_blank">Garden Goddess</a> was my immediate choice of paper collection simply because ladies in general love flowers and have somehow wished we could be one of the most gorgeous ladies in a beautiful garden. I'd love to have such moment as such. </div>

"<b>The flower doesn't dream of the bees. It blossoms and the bee comes.</b>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ <i>Mark Nepo</i> ~</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's the core message for Sarah. And this is how much I love to use this collection for weddings! Full of blossoms, flowers and quotes as such. For beauty blossoms from the inside, that's where happiness come within! When the flower blossoms beautifully, the bee just come. This reminds me of Proverbs 31:10-31, The Virtuous Wife which describes a woman of exceptional character and worth. This really serves as a very good guide for women in how to become like one. Likewise, a good search list for a man to seek after such woman.</div>

A card itself is never enough to be gifted alone, and this is where the matching pattern and solids come in place to play a vital role - an envelope. I just felt "naked" for the card and perhaps some "coverings" will be good. When it was all done, I found them to be very good...</div>

Before Graphic 45 discontinued matching alpha stickers, I've loads of them all given by them as part of my DT package previously before I make a come-back to re-join them for this year. It got so much that I just stored them in a huge box thinking it's probably one of the items that I hardly will use. Well, it came in handy at such a point that I believe it'd be good to personalize the card for Sarah. The alpha stickers came from the Time to Celebrate paper collection; the closest match I could find and it matches the whole theme seamlessly.</div>

About 3 months ago, I made my <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.com/2018/05/pryotechniques-steampunk-junk-journal.html" target="_blank">very first attempt</a> in doing up a junk journal. As unsure and scary as it seems to me, I managed to get one done up at the end of the day. It wasn't easy for me as making albums is my Achilles heel. For this month Graphic 45's monthly challenge, I was one of the few ambassadors to do up a junk journal. Thankfully, my very first attempt didn't make this task a daunting one. Bracing ahead, this is what I've done up!!!</div>

Instead of a bulky book, I decided perhaps I should do up a skinny version where it's handy enough for my very own keepsaking. This skinny little junk journal measures 4.75" by 8"; a pretty good size to me. In view that perhaps not a lot of crafters are daring enough to do up a complex one, introducing such a size might be less daunting. </div>

Super short and sweet; I kept the front cover as simple as possible. Not so much over the top yet it looks like a noteworthy kind of journal. This junk journal consists of 3 magazines within, stitched onto the spine, with as many as 20 over pages to be filled in due time. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">A combination of old vintage stuffs, recyclables, together with pattern papers, stuffs and such were added to give the junk journal the junky identity. I'd suppose that's how it should be, isn't that so? Well, those matching Imagine acrylic stamps just came in time to pair up this beautiful collection. I've literally used all of them for this journal. Here is a video showing a short glimpse on how the inside of the book looks like...</span></div>

Right now, I can't wait to get those pages filled up. Looks like I'll have to do up a junk journal series on this book since there's an abundant of designs from the Imagine collection that I can use them to fill them up. And that what makes creating so far when you've all the matching stuffs. And YES! I think I'd really do that soon. </div>

We all have some sort of papercrafting dilemma. And I tend to get that a lot especially I want the best of both worlds with minimal damage, as much as possible. This probably speaks a lot about my way of crafting.<br />
<br />
Oh well, long time no see everyone! I'm glad that I'm able to find time to blog this entry - a post that's perhaps way behind <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog?journal_blog_post_id=319" target="_blank">my post with Graphic 45 last week</a>. That's one thing I love being in Graphic 45, a lot of work was pre-planned in advance in a way that I don't have to rush in and try to get things done at the nick of time. However, do pardon and be patient with me for the next few weeks while I'm trying to get my timing right. I've been really bad in handling my time for the past weeks due to sudden hiccups in life which I'm still struggling at.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XT5e242lbIA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XT5e242lbIA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
So moving on, making use of the time I have without sharing much about my hiccuping life, I shall go straight to the point on what I've done for Graphic 45 for this July. I'm re-sharing one of my old videos which I've done in 2016 - fussy cutting. It's a cutting technique that I've acquired while I was doing my footwear design course where we were taught to cut footwear patterns out from cardboard using utility/craft knife. I find this method rather ergonomically friendly and easier to control, hence decided to attempt this on designed papers where the intricacies are way complex compared to footwear patterns in general. And it kinda works, giving me more defined cuts than scissors can ever provide. In my video above, I explain very briefly how to hold and use the utility/craft knife to fussy cut as well as some useful tips in getting the right blades. More papercrafting tips over at <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog?journal_blog_post_id=319" target="_blank">Graphic 45 blog</a> which you can hop over to read further.<br />

<br />
To show how this technique can come into good use, I created two very simple ephemera cards using Graphic 45 <a href="http://shrsl.com/12y3y" target="_blank">Floral Shoppe</a> collection. Such a beauty of this collection! And who doesn't loves flowers? I do of course! Sometimes you just need to break the various design elements and reassemble them to create your very own design. And that's what I did!<br />

After all the traveling within SE Asia, finally I'm back with <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog?journal_blog_post_id=295" target="_blank">my very first blog post</a> as Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador. As much as I'd like to stay consistent to update my blog and YouTube Channel on a regular basis, unfortunately I'm still very much stuck with other commitments. Till I iron things out, very soon I hope I'll have more time to stay focus on things I want to do.</div>

Without further ado, let's go straight to what I've created for Graphic 45 as this June #G45Selfie challenge. I'm reviving my past tutorial that reflects my style of creating in the kind of craft I'm into. Sharing here is re-creation of a magical fairy door using Fairie Dust collection via a <a href="https://youtu.be/OXw52fQ7-Kg" target="_blank">video tutorial</a> I created previously as Graphic 45 DT member. </div>

Believe it or not, I'm not a huge fan of purple. Simply not a colour I'll fancy the most even it's consider a royal colour that used to cost <a href="https://youtu.be/CYB-pmNs4VQ" target="_blank">3X more than gold centuries ago</a>. Despite the fact that purple is not my colour of choice, I hardly restrict myself from using purple for creating. To give the door a magical feel, I used a gold as a complementary colour to match with the pastel purple. Practically speaking, I'm probably using the "most expensive commodities" for this magical door. </div>

For those who are unaware, I do have an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatieZGPaperworks" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop since 2009. Since it has been quite some time I'm "tidying up" stuffs in my Etsy store, I felt it's time to do some "polishing" in my store as well as listing some new items. Not much, just 2 items which are the latest creations I've made for this year. </div>

In order to continue the kind of work I'd want to do, I do hope to earn some money in order to fund my passion. I not asking for much but your little support will serve as an encouraging platform for me to continue this. I'm also hoping I'd be able to offer some kits or more tutorials for sale online. If there's feasible technology and when time permits, I'd very much to go into online teaching to supplement the videos I'm creating on my <a href="https://goo.gl/zmi35u" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

On top of these 2 new listed items, I'm offering clearance sales on some of my past projects as well which most of them are listed up to 50% off. Do hop over to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatieZGPaperworks" target="_blank">my shop</a> to view more. I shall see you guys very soon again as I come back for my first project with <a href="https://www.g45papers.com/" target="_blank">Graphic 45</a> as their brand ambassador.</div>

For the past 14 days or so, apart from making adjustment to my schedule, I was also busy with something new and interesting. It's also one kind of project I've been wanting to attempt. After much hesitation, without giving myself further reasons not to do it I decided to go ahead churning out some mojo together with some inspired magical potion - I finally produce a STEAMPUNK JUNK JOURNAL!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ta-DAAA!!! Here it is!!! My first attempted junk journal, Pryotechniques; that's how I addressed this pilot junk journal of mine. Of all the possible attention I might get (as what "pryotehniques" is being termed as), I fired out a face instead using various design elements I could find within the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/477462957/printable-journal-kit-steampunk-hot-air" target="_blank">steampunk journal kit</a> from Traci's shop, <a href="https://ephemoire.com/" target="_blank">Ephemoire</a>... </div>

This is probably one of the most challenging part in creating and took me about 2 days to come up with the entire concept. The process in doing up the book and bookcase wasn't the most difficult part, it's often the preparation and conceptualization part that juice up most of the time and creative brain cells. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I was figuring out how to get a junk journal done up, it took me quite a while to get all the pieces together. I may not be someone who is really good at making pockets and envelope inserts, so for the very first time, I decided to opt for simplicity. Yet the process involved was phewww.... It took me around 7-10 days to get this done up after researching and watching several junk journals tutorials and ideas. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcLLeIWDYtttEzvTEhkfshQ" target="_blank">Nik the Booksmith</a> is one of the many videos I've watched to get most of the inspiration. </div>

Though it's not a full 5" x 7" journal book as intended for, I find such a handy size much easier to handle as a junk journal newbie. Everything was made from scratch - the covers and pages are all constructed using various cardstocks, vellum, printer papers, vintage and pattern papers.<br />

At the end of the day, I'm pretty satisfied how the book has turned out. This whole creating process has indeed encouraged me more to create more books as such. And yes, I'm thinking of making more and would love to explore more techniques in doing up more interesting junk journals. </div>

I'm so glad despite of my recent erratic hours, I manage to squeeze some time in between to showcase an interesting way in how to embellish a <a href="https://goo.gl/NUZJXt" target="_blank">paper jar</a> using the various dies from <a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=981584&u=1678833&m=70661&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a> for Canvas Corp Brands' <a href="http://blog.canvascorpbrands.com/category/product-matchup" target="_blank">Product Match Up</a> series. This will be especially useful if you're their <a href="http://shrsl.com/tago" target="_blank">Club Kit</a> members.<br />

I've this French Carnival idea at the back of my mind with an attempt to do up a Parisian concept-base project. I deliberately chose red and ivory as my main colours and would love to do up something sweet for a friend and sister-in-Christ. Without much consideration, I decided to do up another paper jar, based on a <a href="https://goo.gl/NUZJXt" target="_blank">tutorial on Snapguide</a> I did for my <a href="https://goo.gl/QAWkkq" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Ambassador Audition entry</a> last month. To give the jar a some dainty look, I added some Tresor de Luxe laces around the jar before embellishing. Move over to Canvas Corp blog <a href="http://blog.canvascorpbrands.com/friday-with-friends-with-katie-z-and-spellbinders/" target="_blank">here</a> to view how I get all this done up! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here is the final product (with more pictures below) which I've already gifted to my friend on Sunday for her birthday. I filled up the jar with some sweets and small gifts within the gift box prior in gifting, which are not captured in the pictures here. However, this can serve as a good gift idea that's one of a kind; handmade and nowhere else available for purchase. After all sweets are consumed, the jar itself can be continued used as it labelled as or to store other things.<br />

Alright, after months of delay with held ups, etc., finally my <a href="http://bit.ly/2HN6bpZ" target="_blank">pilot Canvas Corp post</a> went live. I'm sharing here today a poppy heartfelt card that I made for this month <a href="http://blog.canvascorpbrands.com/may-challenge-watercolors/" target="_blank">watercolour challenge</a>. I also did up an easy-peasy tutorial in how to use various Tattered Angels products to watercolour stamped images. Click <a href="http://bit.ly/2HN6bpZ" target="_blank">here</a> to find out how.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm using the <a href="https://amzn.to/2K3PVh6" target="_blank">Poppy Heart stamp</a> from <a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/" target="_blank">IndigoBlu</a> as the main focus of the card. Because poppies are red in colour, I contrast the background with a variety of blues, using the various texture papers from 7gypsies Architextures paper series as well a few drizzle touches of <a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/category/sparkle-assortments/bling-collections/twinkle-melange/twinkle-me-lange-frozen-berry-15ml-little-birdie.html" target="_blank">Frozen Berry Twinkle Me'lange</a>, one of the complimentary goodies gifted by the owners of <a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/" target="_blank">Little Birdie Crafts</a>. Can you see how it sparkle that "special effects" on the card?</div>

Well, aside creating this card for the <a href="http://blog.canvascorpbrands.com/may-challenge-watercolors/" target="_blank">watercolor challenge</a>, I decided to gift this card to one beautiful couple from Texas I met 2 weeks ago while they were here for missionary work - John and Carla Moore! It was via John Moore's <a href="http://www.searchingfortruth.org/" target="_blank">Searching for the Truth programme</a> I managed to find my way to the LORD's church. The one True Church where I get to meet many Christians around world where we are all bound by one faith and one truth. Christ's Church is without border and that's the beauty of the LORD's church. It's indeed one such blessing to be part of this amazing big family of God. LORD's willing, I got to meet him this year together with his lovely wife, Carla. They are back to their home in the US, and till next time we will surely meet again...</div>

It's May and it's coming to mid of 2018! Time really flies super fast! So fast that within a blink of an eye, April is gone! Oh well, been really busy busy and busy for the past 2 weeks. Though there was a little sad news along the way, I had a good rest in between before I get myself to create.<br />
<br />
Therefore, for the beginning of the month of May, I'm sharing this cute little diorama project as part of my pilot also the last for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TresorsdeLuxe" target="_blank">Tresors de Luxe</a> DT project, as Lucy has decided to disband the blogging team. Quite sad to hear as this don't seems to work out for her in a way. However, I wish her all the best. I'm also using some of the flowers and pastel papers from <a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/" target="_blank">Little Birdie Crafts</a> which are generously gifted by the owners of the company for me to try.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I made this wool-felt bunny last April, supposedly for a Easter project. As it can be seen here, it wasn't attempted at the end. Rather, for a good whole year it has been decided on a different form of project. It has been quite some time I'm attempting a diorama project, but for this it's probably one of a very different style I'm trying out for the first time. It's also my very first attempt using hand drawn illustrations on a diorama project, as if the bunny is in a cartooning carrots world. Hmmm, that's practically the idea behind. Well, took me a while to figure out in how to blend in the elements.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This is a long overdue work in progress project and I managed to get it done. Phew! One project off my PhD (Project half-Done) list! And here I present The Carrots Spa, where this cute little bunny guy get himself planted within and grow!</div>

So here is the little guy, submerging himself in this cosy little mud tub of spring greenery filled with <a href="https://amzn.to/2JRzRyT" target="_blank">carrot sparkling essences</a>. And a big carrot besides him! Look how <a href="https://amzn.to/2KxSgBH" target="_blank">glittering</a> those carrot essences are in that wooden bucket?</div>

Imagine the whole carrot spa is situated deep under the barrow, a place where the bunny can go under to have some relaxing time, out from the outside world. Isn't this too cute in the little bunny world? I've this little imagination at the back of my mind as I created this. Simply couldn't wait to complete that wild imagination of mine. And I managed to dig it out. </div>

The spa interior and mud tub are furnished with luxurious vintage laces and the wall is hung with huge loads of carrots illustration; all <a href="https://amzn.to/2HK4Tfi" target="_blank">drawn</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2IashCb" target="_blank">painted</a> by me. The floor is well carpeted with green bushes that will give your soles a warm cushy soft feel, good for bunny feet! This really shows how much <a href="https://amzn.to/2I7SHEp" target="_blank">care</a> was taken into consideration.</div>

I've done up a very short video orientation on this project which was filmed at the very last minute without much planning as I thought perhaps it might be better to show how the project is like in motion. Well, it seems that the lighting wasn't that great and I apologize that the video is a little fuzzy to view. Nonetheless, I'd still very much wanted to share it, hence decided to go ahead.</div>

Oh well, so much more I'd like to tell the story in details but I think this is good bite size. Otherwise, you peeps will be bothered by my lengthy story. Below is an extensive list of supplies I used for this project with links to various sources in where to get them. Sometimes, there's some great deals and discounts offered by <a href="http://amzn.to/2lZ8bxy" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> and it's one of the places where most of the past season products are still very much available. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was eagerly anticipating for the announcement since last night, clicking to refresh <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Graphic45" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Facebook page</a> as well as <a href="http://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog" target="_blank">their blog</a> to check for updates. Notice that there's a 15hr difference between us, the wait to see whether my name will be on a the list was like the very moment I collected my GCE 'O' Levels results slip from my teacher when I was 17; eagerly to know how well I fair. Couldn't hold onto the calling towards the sleepy Lala land, I turned in subsequently after I'm done with my Canvas Corp project submission. Prior landing onto my bed, I did a final check and I'd have guess it won't be out that soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early this morning at 5:30am, when I saw Charee's email in welcoming us to the team, I was thrilled!!! This piece of news couldn't get any better - <a href="https://g45papers.com/Graphic%2045%20Blog?journal_blog_post_id=250" target="_blank">I made it back to Graphic 45 again as their Brand Ambassador</a>!!! And I'm really shouting out here, seriously feeling excited all over again after a 2 years break with them since 2016. It felt like it's the beginning from the end. As I tracked back in <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.sg/2014/03/graphic-45-design-team-2014-audition.html" target="_blank">how I got myself to audit for Graphic 45 for the very first time</a> to <a href="https://katiezgpaperworks.blogspot.sg/2014/04/making-into-graphic-45-design-team.html" target="_blank">getting into their team</a>, I feel as if my history with them is still very much alive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nevertheless, I'd want to believe this will be another great fun year with them. Also, my heartfelt congratulations to the rest of the Ambassadors (and old friends within!). I'm looking forward to work with everyone for this year. Follow me on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/katsigner" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> as I'd be very much wanting to share more via this means, in hope to further encourage and inspire. I shall return very soon...</div>

The moment is finally here... Despite of my rather tight schedule recently, I managed to get this posted in time hoping I'll get a chance to be considered to be part of Graphic 45 again. Missing all the fun I had previously, it was a good rest in between and I'd want to take this opportunity to come back and provide more creative inspirations. Heading straight ahead, here are the projects I created for this audition...</div>

<b><u>Project One: Cafe Parisian Candies Paper Jar (step-by-step tutorial)</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Earth day is approaching (22nd April) and I think it'd be good to do up some upcycling project and transform them into daily useful items. Besides being a "junk collector", I do keep quite a number of disposable items which I find them as potential upcycling objects. And those <a href="https://amzn.to/2uWL1Qi" target="_blank">jumbo toilet rolls</a> are one of them which I kept many of them. For they are sturdy and hard enough, they provide very good bases for jar making. </div>

May it for your pantry storage or even as a gift, it doesn't cost that much to do up one. Trust me, it's not going to be that difficult. You just need to be a little patient while working on it. Since it has been a while I'm on <a href="http://snapguide.com/katie-z/" target="_blank">Snapguide</a>, I decided to do up a step-by-step tutorial which is more clear than video tutorials. Without me elaborating further, here is the Snapguide tutorial I've created. </div>
