Know This

Using Inspired Blueprints Sketch #76,

Took this photo while we were cycling at East Coast Park. There was a sandcastle competition (I guess cuz' I was minding the bicycles). Honestly, the sand on Bintan beach was so much finer and 'softer' than those on Singapore beaches.

Journaling:

Sometimes you need to step outside,

get some air, and remind yourself of who

you are and where you want to be.

I don't really like the patterned paper that was behind the white cardstock, therefore, I decided to use it as mat for some added details and machine-stitches around the edges. I used Maya Road butterfly chipboards as mask and misted the white cardstock with Tattered Angel Mist. Using some embroidery thread, I stitch along the outline of the butterflies.

Some washi tape here and there.... just experimenting with it....

Thanks for looking!!

Inspired Blueprint Sketch #74

Photo was taken during our 1st trip to Universal Studio Singapore. The girls were so excited when they saw him. Luckily.. he didn't hear them calling him... "Kuku Panda! Kuku Panda!"

Using Inspired Blueprint Sketch #74 and Studio Calico kit (added my own stash too)...

The chipboard alphas matched the panda right...

Journaling :

When you guys saw the advertisement for Kungfu Panda 2
You both started shouting "Kuku Panda!Kuku Panda!"
And you wanted to watch the show so much
Gonna bring you guys to the theatre for this..

(After I took the photo of the LO, then I realised that the journaling is not in the correct order)


Not gonna talk much.... too tired after work... (or rather... my brain not functioning now)

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired Blueprints Sketch #73

Wanted to share a couple of finished projects done quite some time back.

In this layout, Meimei with her rubber face.... she was trying to imitate Mummy's scary stare. She succeeded in making a scary cute face...

I used Inspired Blueprints Sketch #73 and mainly Studio Calico kit for the layout.

The cute little bicycle with balloons stamp is from Unity Stamp Company.

A sweet little mother and daughter card....

Another close-up pic of it....

And.. an altered bottle which I bought from Ikea. Trying to reinforce my resolution to keep my expenditure on scrapbook stuff within budget.. a fun small project to use all the scraps and old stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect Housewife

My little princesses are always helpful. Whenever Mummy or Daddy is doing housework... they will volunteer to help us out ( To note: they seldom or rarely will clean up their room or toys). They will always end up snatching the broom from one another.

I managed to capture the younger one in action.... sweeping the floor (and being proud of it).

Using Inspired Blueprints Sketch #63:

Journaling:

Mummy was sweeping the floor when Meimei came and offer to help out. Not too sure whether Meimei is a great helper or a mess maker. But she is, without a doubt, a 'dirty' ( look at the messy hair and dirty clothes) little cutie!!

Hubby commented that the LO is a little too dark..... hmmm... I guess so... but well... anywhere.. I still like them... hehe..

Art Garden

My next layout was supposed to be based on a sketch by Inspired Blueprints shown below...
However.... I really wanted to include lot of photos.... let the photos do the talking instead of journaling... not much space to play around with after I placed all the photos.

This is the first time we took the girls to a museum... I think they enjoyed themselves a lot. New things to see and do which was better than heading to the shopping mall all the time.

My first time making banner!! Love it so much!! (make a mental note to create more of this cutie)

Inspired Blueprints Sketch #55

It's been a long time since I scrapped my photos of my girls. Took so many photos of them but I had yet to scrap them..... and also.... the reason being .... my scrap stash are growing bigger and bigger ... heh...

Based on the sketch by Inspired Blueprints.....

Here is my layout... "These are the days"

Meimei will only sit on the car when it is NOT moving. Once we put the coins in... she would cry to be carried out..

First time trying to tie a decent bow with the Baker's Twine. A little lopsided.. but oh well... the photos are more important... =)

Thanks for looking!!

And... Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslims friends and colleagues!!
