Liebster Award

My blog has been nominated by Ashley from Printable Wisdom for Liebster Award, thanks Ashley =D This is the first time I heard of this award (I'm fairly new to the world of blogging). So, I did some digging. I know Liebster is a German word and means like or something, so I searched on Google Translate just to be sure, turned out the direct translation is "dearest". Close enough, LOL.

I saw this tutorial from another blog - ModCloth.

When Ikea Gives You Catalogue...

.. MAKE CARDS =D

Christmas is near and your mailbox is stuffed with all sorts of promotion brochure/ catalogue. Are you planing to throw them away? You might want to keep one or two if not all, in case you need a nice thank you card after your great holiday stay at relatives'/ friends' house or received some very thoughtful gifts during the holiday.

When Ikea gives you catalogue, make cards!

DIY Tag Using Security Envelope and Business Card

I have a thing for security envelope. I love the patterns and be inspired by them. One of my favorites is the black and white, tile-like pattern.
This is what I usually make, pretty isn't it? (I'm shameless and I know it, LOL) 

DURIAN ATTACK

Durian, pronounced as djʊriən, is known as "king of fruits" in Southeast Asia. It has a strong flavor and smell which most people in Southeast Asia love while others find it.. STINKS. I'm one of those "others".

This is how the "king of fruits" looks like. It has crowns spikes all over the body.

Toilet Paper Roll Dilemma

Just when I thought my upcycling collection can't get crazier, I saw these..

Wall Decor made of toilet paper rolls.

Toilet paper roll pencil holder.

Toilet paper roll animals!

Toilet paper tubes wall decor.

Toilet paper roll LEVEL 9000!

Toilet paper roll LEVEL 9000!

Toilet paper roll ASIAN LEVEL!

Everybody is getting gift from me wrapped in a toilet paper roll from now on 'cause that's how I roll!

I'm going to wrap favors during my birthday party, wedding, baby shower and even funeral! Wait, do people give away favors at the funeral..? Oh well, there's always a first time.

 

Plants in toilet paper tubes!

A book made of those paper tubes!

Are you kidding me..?!!?! This is going to take my addiction (refer to my previous post) to a whole new level!!

I am a Paper Addict

Hi, my name is Huey. I am a Paper Addict. It started when I was a school kid. I first collected pretty pictures on the newspaper and magazine, cut them and pasted them into my scrap books, which were made of annual report with boring financial charts and.. reports. 

Today, although I no longer cut pictures from newspapers, I'm still unable to resist beautiful images from magazine, calendars, flyers, brochures.. Any printed papers that come to my hands. The condition got worse the past few years when my collection expanded to scrapbooking pattern paper, wrapping paper, used security envelope, map, shopping bag, the list goes on.

Strange addiction, I know. What makes it worse is that it gives me joy and satisfaction seeing my collection grows everyday, even though it's cluttering up my space which is a big deal in Singapore where every inch of space worth a fortune. I actually bought 2 shelves from Ikea just to store them (>_<)"'

Used paper goods are my worst nightmare. I feel guilty to throw away ANY used security envelope, map, shopping bag, packaging... Anything at all, as long as they are clean, knowing that I can make them into something else.

Just a *tinny* tip of the iceberg.

Stamps are addictive.

Get high with Chinese Calendar.

You'll find this familiar if you stayed in Singapore.

This paper box is from Taiwan, if I'm not mistaken.

Security envelopes, parking tickets and Ang Pau (red envelope).

Map used in Seoul, Korea.

Maybe I'm not strange at all, just completely insane... LOL
