I am Irene Tan, from Malaysia and a mother of two blessings. I love the beauty of combining art and creativity with the magnificent world of scrapping and crafting. I love to experiment with all the wonderful crafting and scrapping products in the market and come up with new ideas in using them.
My inspirations of my work comes from everywhere. From the photographs to my surroundings and from the stories to the emotional attachment I have towards a specific project. My projects had always been a story teller. It’s meant to tell the stories of each subject or topic of the projects. It’s also my thoughts and view of that particular project.
My style is more into distressed/ephemera with loads of details. However, I am also able to work with other styles comfortably with a twist of my own. I love challenges and innovative assignments.

My favourite subjects are mainly my family. They are closed to me and I love to scrap my feelings and thoughts towards them.  My favourite tools has to be inks, mask and stamps! They excites me and makes me want to to go my scrapping table….LOL!  My favourite sources of inspirations are always the photographs. They are the stories and what makes this whole sccrapping is all about. Of course, there are times when I’m spark with inspirations from my surrounding or things that I see online.

Here is the project I made for  “My Studio”:

When I saw this old moon picture, it actually makes me wonder, how they’ve started to colour the films in the old days. And I start making finding out the details and yes! They’ve coloured it with markers and pens. Therefore, This makes me wants to play with that technique in this layout. I’ve actually coloured part of my printed photograph using markers and create the film look by adding strips of film to it.
