:: dark picts ::

I have had webster pages papers for a looonngg time, but never knew or how to scrap it well.

Another attempt and away I went!
Though the pics are too dark to see it here as they were taken in a restaurant... those at the back are meant to be out of focus. & I demanded for one that I was in focus... but obviously my dear friend JT thought that the oysters were the subject! hmph! but loving the shots and the memories of this meal :)

:: scarlet fever ::

Truth: It probably took me almost half an hour just to decide on the colour combination! First, I started off with the KI pattern paper (the one with all those cute tiny cameras). Next, I dragged out my stash of cardstock and started to match them! I almost pulled my hair out... until I found THE ONE!!! and the scarlet fever started...

And then I was on a roll! Yippee...

*note to self* - so I can remember what I did!! somehow I keep forget techniques!
I totally love the colour combination of purple, light turquoise, yellow & black.
I totally love how the dimensions & layering work out in the end.
I totally love the embellishments, especially the star & little tick, which is not something that I usually do!

Random thoughts!

1) Dad is suddenly interested in Sudoku... so my younger bro bought him a book to do. He's so happy :)

2) Working on some alter art for pressies :) I love when I do that... haha

3) Am loving the weekend as it's going to be another short week next week! yeah!!!

:: one for the night ::

mentioned here... i redid the layout...



I am happy :)

:: For & from the past ::

These were done sometime in end Feb (when my SB mojo was going strong)


Not sure when Mom took this picture, but I thought it's pretty cool and decided to scrap it.

I wanted to cover the cutout flower shapes in this MM paper and while it looked great in real life as it adds a certain dimension to the layout, in photo, you can see the squares that covers the cutouts! Phew! I was neat about the squares! heh...


The title was picked by Mommy dearest herself...



For the past few years, I've been doing a layout with the title of "me" at hthat particular year.
While this picture was not taken exactly at the turn of the year, it was done so at the beginning of the year in early FEB (during CNY). There's hidden journalling where the ribbon with the flower is (on the right of the layout, behind the photo).



Am loving all the embellishing in these layouts!
It is not easy for me to embellish! I take tons of times to just choose the correct one! argh! I end up so frustrated that sometimes I just give up!

OK! off for some relaxing time!

Hope you have a great weekend...

:: feeling good ::

Feeling good today...

There can be a variety of reasons?

1) Long weekend! Time to do 'ME' stuff

2) Since changing my working hours to earlier, I've been reaching work on the dot which does not equate to being a on-time worker here, or I've been slightly late :( BUT today! I was early by a good TEN minutes... Yippieee!!!

3) I scrapped last night. Maybe I should rephrase - I re-scrapped last night. I did a layout a couple of weeks ago but it was a bad bad layout. I had to stop before the damage got worse. It has been at the back of my mind to redo the layout. So last night, inspiration came. With a different range of papers and a semi re-organised SB area, I sat down and got cracking.

I'm so happy with the result :D


4) Did I mention I kinda re-organised my SB stuff?? It's so much easier to scrap now... most things are within reach now :)

Hope your week was good and it weekend even better!
