I didn’t knew until just few days ago that there is a National scrapbook day in the U.S. But I suppose we could also celebrate it together. There is a lot going on in major scrapbook stores. Go check out Two Peas, free classes, contest and discount, 12 hours of activities from 9 am – 9 pm CST. Go check it out.
Keep an eye for Scrap-N-Crop too, they are gearing up for this day.
Happy scrapping and of course, happy shopping

I can’t believe it myself! I’ve been going on with life without doing any scrapbook over the past few days since I left Sabah. Another 2 more days, it will be officially a week away from home and a week from not doing any page! Goodness, I thought I can’t survive without it. But well.. I still think I can’t. Over the past few days, although I haven’t touch any pattern paper or cardstock, I haven’t been stopping in reading about scrapbooking. I still logon to my blog subscription, forum, favourite scrapbooking site, my shopping cart to check on my order and yup, read Creating Keepsakes magazines that I’ve brought over with me.
Maybe this is the time for me to rejuvenate myself, store up the creative memories for me to get back to my scrapping world again once I’m back home again in another week time.

It seems like I never stop posting new layout that I’ve done here. Well.. simply because I might not be able to post any for the next two weeks! Yes, two weeks! I’ll be away from my comfort zone of scrapbooking and go to visit my sis and hubby over in Hong Kong and China. It seems like just days ago that we were there and yet we are making another trip there again.

This LO that I just did is on those photos taken during our trip to Hong Kong Disneyland (30 -31 Dec ’07). Following with these posts: Getaway and Sunny Day in Hollywood Hotel, these are the photos that taken right after that.

My boys had so much fun on the slide that they don’t seems to be leaving. My and hubby just let them to enjoy that as the playground here don’t normally have safe mat floor.
These photos are just so blue in color, I just let the color of blue and red (from the boys’ jackets) to pop up with a mute earth color cardstock. To balance off the page, I used some red brads as embellishment. The word “Slide” is just concident that I run out of “S” and “e”, so I used “5” and an inverted “3” instead. It is also concident that their age are 5 and 3!

Tag is from Making Memories, vinyl letter from American Craft (can get from 2peas) and brads from HOTP. The blue ribbons are from Personal Shopper monthly kit.

TFL.

I’ve actually shown two photos of my sons having nap on one of the afternoon when we were over in China here. What I’ve just did was scrap that two photos.

I had a hard time deciding how to position the photos actually, cos the 2nd photo was taken with an angel. Then after I’ve used the coaster for alphabet B and A, I decided to repeat the pattern on the journal tag. Then finally decided to put some brads on the side of the photos so that the page isn’t that empty.

I’ve used Cardstock from Bazill Basic, SEI granny’s kitchen coasters, mini brads from Making Memories, letter stickers from Basic Grey

Happy scrapping!

Mer has dimple on his side and it is always visible on one side, the other side seem lost somewhere when he gets older. I used this as the topic for my scrap to join in the fun in Scrappinkids challenge for April – Unik April.

It is hard to get him in photo which shows his dimple, so eventhough this one shows that he got scar on his face, I still use it for this LO. This was taken when he was enjoying his blueberry donut. It is not a perfect picture ‘cos I captured someone’s legs on the side which I then covered up with the chipboard from Heidi Swapp and tag line from HOTP. PP are from American Craft and HOTP. Heart shape brad from Queen & Co.

Jornal: “Look at those dimple, it is just uniquely you.”

TFL and happy scrapping!

I just love this LO that I did, it is so colourful on a black background. All those citrus colour just pop up.
This is a layout about a rare visit by my cousin who are so caught up with work that both of them seldom be able to go out together on Sunday.

I’ve used Bazzill basic blackbird, PP and flower template (to do the two flowers) by HOTP March kit. Letter stickers from my inspiration brought back by a friend from Australia.

Though I would share what I’ve got in my mail box today – April Kit from Paperwishes Personal Shopper! Yay! More to play with. It is exciting still to get their monthly kit, this time I can play with a sarabinder, just that I’m not sure what to put it with, maybe things that the boys love to do?

I know.. I haven’t have this creative idea going on in my head, so I haven’t been productive this week. There are photos for me to scrap about, stories for me to tell. But I just couldn’t put my creative hat on and start doing new LO.
I’ve a good news actually, I’ve been selected as one of the Design Team for Scarp-N-Crop (Yes, I am the one with the name Fon Mee in her blog). I’m glad that I’m not starting so soon. Val, the owner actually put me forward to start on May next year, thanks Val.
Yup, don’t forget to subscribe to their newsletter (blog) for the latest news and wish me luck that my creative hat will always on when I eventually become their DT next year.

I’ve just did a page about the boys helping out doing my 1st altered project and also using my newly arrived stamp set. I’ve used the stamp on the word “TIME” and the quotation mark on the journaling.
