Lucky (Pencil Lines Sketch #243)

I want my girls to know that they will never be alone in their lives. Despite all the bickering and cat fights (in the future??), they will always have each other to hold on to....

Journaling:

The greatest happiness in life is knowing

that you are loved for who you are

and sometimes,

in spite of who you are

Materials:

Mainly Studio Calico kit (among other stuff)

Thanks for looking!!

Ballet Class

Name tags for the girls' ballet bags...

Sweet pink to match them....

Honestly, 45mins for each ballet session... is really not enough. They should really extend the timing a little... sigh...

So much easier to identify which one is whose bag.... Hehe...

Thanks for looking!!

Documenting life's little details..

During my last short trip to Hongkong, I managed to finish up a book... Life Artist by Ali Edwards. It's was so inspiring.. It kept me thinking about my daily life... how I tend to rush through things... forgetting to enjoy the process of getting things done.. especially with my kids. Honestly speaking, it's really not an easy task juggling between a full time demanding job, 2 very active kids, household chores and scrapbooking (which I really need to keep my sanity). I DO need to slow down and enjoy the everyday things... We only live once.. and we SHOULD make the best out of it...

I made a mini album to document those tiny everyday life's details that may seem insignificant to others but it define who we ( my family and I). I want my kids to be able to go through these albums and know how important they are in my life......

I left the inside pages blank .... and it was ring bind so that I can add or reshuffle the pages around...

I should go now... thanks for stopping by.....

Once Upon A Sketch.. June 1st Challenge

Here's 1st June sketch...

And here's my take...

She look so adorable and feminine with her fake long hair and the little handbag ( I wonder why my Mum loves to cut her hair till so short).

Journaling wrote:

U love to repeat what Mummy says

U love to eat and willing to try new food.

U still pefer to be carried around when we go "kai kai" (shopping).

U can fall asleep on your own easily.

U don't like being ignored (the usual punishment we give you when you get too naughty)."

We tried to talk sense into you... but you refused to listen..

We threaten you with a cane... you simply turn hysterical..

We scolded you..... again you simply REFUSED .... to listen...

When Mummy started walking away.... that's when I will get your attention.

I used mainly patterned paper from Webster's Pages. Ribbons are from an etsy shop and the tiny rosebuds are from my own collection.

I added some ribbon trimming under my photo for some added texture. "You make me Smile" stamp is from Technique Tuesday .... been wanting these stamps for ages... finally ordered tem online since it's so difficult to get them in Singapore.

I painted the background for my journaling spot with Ranger Distress Crackled Paint just for some texture too. Flowers and pearl swirl are from Prima Marketing.

Thanks for looking!!

P.S. There's some problem with blogger I can't seem to use the link, change font size or even leave some blog loves on other bloggers' comment page. I hope they rectify this problem soon....

Customised Name Tags

Just wanted to share some name tags that I did for a friend of mine...

This is for her hubby... she requested no flowers... but I can't help it.... Need to give him some tiny flowers...... Heh..

And 1 for herself....

Thanks for stopping by!

Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland Mini Album

Just a short and quick post before I go to sleep.. It's nearly 1am here in Singapore and I need to wake up for work tomorrow at 5am... sheeshh. Was busy finishing up some paperwork...

Wanna share a mini album that I'd completed 2 weeks ago. Used mainly Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland paper collection.

My nieces had recently celebrated their birthdays with Alice in Wonderland theme. I was hoarding the paper collection for quite some time.. waiting for the right occasion. An... it is really suitable for this occassion!


I left the photo section for them to choose on their own....

Honestly... using a paper collection really cut down the amount of time required to match individual papers and embellishments... especially with my tight schedule now. So much to do.... so little time...

Ok... gotta now... Nitez!! And thanks for stopping by!

Without any assistance from her Daddy or me... she managed to put together a Lego robot all by herself. She was so proud of herself and couldn't resist showing off to me and was so eager to pose for a pic with it... Heh...

Misted the background with Maya Mist and stamped with a painted bubble wrapper for added texture.
