Motivating and encouraging post.

2015 is coming to an end. Many past has to be past. Some has struggle, some has succeed well, and there is always some who is just earn enough to handle food to the family. Some still fighting towards their goal, their dreams. If you have achieved great in 2015, congratulations, because you worth it. For those who still working out, or start to question your ability, please don't. Just like planting a bamboo tree. You water and fertilize throughout the year, nothing comes out from the soil. Not even a small leaf. You continue to water and fertilize for the next full year, still nothing happen. Another year.... And another year..... Nothing grows. But in the 5th year, the bamboo tree rapidly growth from NOTHING to a building tall of 90 feets, all happen in just a surprising 6 weeks. Yes, if you get the point, keep doing, as long as every steps is improving, you are in the right path. You are preparing yourself for the great success.

Spice up my planner 2016

Hello peeps! It's almost the end of 2015. A new planner needed for the new year 2016! Here is some ways to spice up your own planner.

I worked on the floor hahaha, I don't have a proper desk in my room.

My siblings got me a christmas present from Daiso, they gifted me a planner which I really like it. What to you need? It's optional, just use whatever you have. I am a huge fan of washi tapes and stickers. They are really a good invention <3. I used colour pens, washi tapes, stickers and deco tape (I'm so obsessed with these) to help me organize my planner.

 Next, I take out some sticky notes and paste them on a scrapbook paper to turn them into my dashboard.

Furthermore, I make my own customade Yong Hwa paper clip. I cut out YH's head from a picture at the back page of my sticky notes and hot glue gun it on the paper clip. It turns out good and I decide to make more with Got7 Jackson and others.

I feel bad for other members.

Nan Shen Forever.

Then, I punch 2 holes on a zip lock bag to keep wishing cards and some journal cards. It is a great way to store them and use it whenever you need.

Moreover, I made a pocket with colour paper. 

stick them together and you have your pocket!

Not only that, I printed some thankyou cards and quote just to prepare for the future. You will need them!

1) Quote Cards

2) Print some motivation cards!

I also tie them up with cute ribbons and store them in a half envelope.

Besides, I printed out some photos and my printer out of ink before I printed out some other pictures such as astronaut, Greece, food and some k-pop star. *urgh* But it's okay I will continue to do it later. I glue them on scrapbook paper and that is it.

my printer only managed to print 2 pages

On the other hand, I made another envelope pocket to store my stickers.

To make my front page, I decide to print out Tiger silhouette and the year I was born. Tiger kind of resemble my face because my friend said that I look mad when I have no expression and tiger look mad always. It also quite alike with my characteristic I guess HAHAHAAH. 

I failed. Wrong distance calculation. 

Yes, I failed again.  Stupid me. 

So I decided to write it on myself. I put an transparent cover on it and it's done. Spent my half day just to do this, but it's worthy. Lastly, I wish you a happy new year! 

Take a break!

My inspiration.

Austin Kleon --> A writer who draws and make arts with words and books with pictures. He is the New York Times bestselling author of 3 books which is Steal like an artist , Show your work and Newspaper blackout .

Austin Kleon

I just found out him and his book at the Popular book store. His books amazed me with how he thought about art and his creativity is wonderful. He motivated me to be better and more creative. He teaches me how to think creatively after reading one of his books -- Steal like an artist. He published a journal called Steal like an artist journal book, go and have a look, it might gives you a light bulb moment. He inspires me to go after what I love but still find time to be who I am and also to be relax and enjoy life. You should definitely check out his books!

This is the link to his blog : http://austinkleon.com/

Thanks for reading.

Christmas: DIY Photo Props

Hey, welcome back to my blog. If you are having a Christmas Party, then this is a post for you. What is a party without photo booth? Let's work on it. Here is my way to DIY our own props and background. For the background you can google it up and recreate one because there are too many options. I made my background with christmas-sy wrapping paper. For the props I reused what I did for last year. Here is some photos:

What you need to do is print out the templates and stick them with popsicle sticks.

This is the links of the printables:

Tips: Hard card works better.
Is just that easy! Go ahead and have your christmas props done! Hope you enjoy reading my post!

Christmas: Holiday Project 2015

It's Christmas! Second exciting season, because the first one is CNY and my birthday. Here is my long waited post, I'm gonna show you my handmade Christmas Tree. My brother said it doesn't even look like one. So I replied him: I think nobody know how Christmas Tree look like before some company wants to sell off these specific tree, Christmas Tree is just a kind of marketing skill I guess (It's only my opinion), therefore Christmas Tree can be anything.

We went out to our neighbourhood and start cutting off the branches of tree. Be careful while handling the blade/saw. We spent quite a long time to finish this task, from running around to find the best tree to choosing straight branches to use all our strength to cut them down. Thanks to my lovely siblings because I can't finish this without their help. <3 P/s: my brother not in those photos because he was too shy, he was shirtless that time.

That is basically the christmas tree, what we do next is just connect them with some festive colour of string, we chose red. 

Next, we headed to Daiso, Mr DIY and Popular book shop to get the ornaments. (I'm too lazy to make one, you can go to my previous post of DIY ornaments if you are interested) Link: DIY Christmas Tree Ornaments

We also cut out some circles of different colour and hot glue gun on the branches.
