A card that I did within half an hour this morning before the boys got up. I got this Queen & Co. felt heard from Scrap-n-crop days ago and just wanted to use them in a card. Still haven’t got bored with my Fiskar punch yet, just love it.

Color Challenge
I’ve made this card and was hoping to get it loaded for Kwerner’s color challenge, but I was too late for it as I forgot to bring my USB cable back home. She has very good color challenge every week, going to try for it again this week.
Anyway, just wanted to share it here. I have probably didn’t use the right color combination, but it was fun.
This has become my photo for Project 365 as well, this is for Day 9.

Day 8
This is what happened after the boys has slept, empty bottles. The boys still have their milk before bedtime, even Cal. I’ll need to stop him from using the bottle soon, he is turning 6 this year.
Surprises and a card
Got a surprise came in yesterday that I’ve forgotten that I’m suppose to be expecting it in my mail box! Well, actually two surprises. One is the card above made by a little boy Ethan who were inspired by me in making the card. Way to go Ethan! They even sent over stickers for the two boys, thank you Chin Yee!
The 2nd surprise was that I received my prize yesterday from Pamela, the prize for winning the November sketch in Coconut ScrapShop. Yay! It contains lots of overlay and some pattern paper and brads, and stickers! All for Christmas, thanks Pamela!
Oh, and here is a card I’ve made yesterday with the sketch provided in SoCalScrap forum. I’m using all things purchase from Scrap-n-Crop with a mixture of products.

Day 7
Vitagen, their favorite drink. This was when we were on our way home and Mer requested to have Vitagen and promised that he’ll only have that instead of anything else like sweets.
Project 365
Creating Keepsakes has been featuring their Project 365 since December 2008 and it has drawn a lot of attention and anticipated buyers into their website waiting for the kit to come out on January this year. It turns out that there were so many buyers that they have run out of the kit and their site was even facing loading problem!
I am one of the viewer and also anticipated buyer who didn’t manage to get the monthly kit but I still wanted to give this project a try. I know I don’t have a habit of taking photo everyday and I don’t bring my camera every where I go, let alone taking photos in some unexpected timing.
I love their kit, it is super beautiful and it looks super easy to put them up in the album. I just wish that I can get the kit soon and started to slotting in photos and journaling card.
I’ve another plan is to copy their style in making the project, so even if I really can’t get the kit, I can still get on with the project. I’ve already got photos from day 1 except day 4 which we were traveling back from China. Going to think of away to fill that one in.
Here are for day 5 and 6 for 2009:
Jornal: Cal has been so happy to have his activity book which require him to cut and paste things cut from it to make some paper toys. He absolutely love that book.
Journal: As for Mer, he is glad to be home with Grandma and he has learn how to eat fruits that have small nuts that require him to spit them out.
Jornal: This morning Mer was sleeping on the way to school in the car. They have been having some late night and he was singing 10 little Indian-boy last night before bedtime.
I wanted also to try on Simple Scrapbook’s way of doing an album within 4 hours by having 40 photos in a 6″x6″ album completed with pattern paper and embellishments. I’ve already got my photos ready, now I just need a 6″x6″ album. Finger crossed that I can get it down in two nights.
Cards and tags
Have almost done the gift wrapping for the kids. Am bringing some over with me to China. Will only let them open on Christmas day. Can’t wait to see their faces. I’ve done a few tags to put on the gifts and also some more Christmas cards.
