my Family

At long last, I am able to scrap the photos take last Chinese New Year. Very often we had the photos... I mean the 3 of us in one shot. Most of the time it would be me&Johanne or Johanne&hubby or hubby&me. Thanks to my sister who visited us and became our photographer for that event...lolz. Anyways, this layout I want to share with you is base on the sketch of Authentique September Challenge Sketch.






Materials used:
Patterned paper: Authentique (Blissful)
Flower: Authentique (made from scrap)
Cardstcok: AC
Adhesive: Beacon 3in1, Xpress IT double sided tape

Oh Happy Days

As I was about to leave work last Monday, my eyes caught the cola chipboard sticker from Echo Park. I knew right away what photo I would scrap with it. So without a doubt, I grab it and and took 4 papers of the same brand. The next day was my off day, even with flu and fever, I decided that I have to do it...no matter how sick I was. And so I did. Below are the 2 layouts I made.

You and Me...



Materials used:
Cardstock: American Crafts

Surf's up

TGIF! Before I go to do some errands, I want to share a layout I made from Fancy Pants collection. I had these papers and die cuts for quite sometime now and totally forgotten about it because of my busy schedule recently. As I was looking at my stash a few days back, I saw this collection and inspire me to create something. It's not a so outstanding layout but a worth one to share.

Materials used for both layouts:
Cardstcok: American Crafts
Patterened Paper: Fancy Pants
Die Cuts: Fancy Pants
Mist: Tattered Angels
Adhesive: Beacon 3in1, AC foam dots


Thank you for looking!

Bad, good and a project!

As always, I'd been a very bad blogger. It's been a very busy year for me. A lot of things happened, good and bad. I've never been tired in my life! There were a lot of happenings at work, my dad passed away, I'd been very sickly myself so as my little boy. Even my husband had been very busy and tired from his new company. Ok, enough for the bad things. Let's have something to smile about. I'd been consistent "winner" at PRIMA! Yes! Jan, Feb, Mar, May, June, July... my layouts were featured at their site and April, was my month... I won the April BAP. It was such a great experience for I've never won before. Me and my hubby had been having lunch together most of the time which was so great. We've been watching movies at the cinema together and what's more??? Johanne's starting to enjoy watching with us too. Oh, and tomorrow is Johanne's 6th birthday and we will celebrate it at the Zoo. Not a big one though just a simple family day out :)Hmmm, what else is there for me to share??? Ok, I promise that I would give myself time to visit or share something on my blog at least twice a month. I need to have discipline on this one so I am starting now.

I would like to share with you all a little project I made 2 weeks ago. I use this one to submit at PRIMA's August PPP. Hope you will all like it as much as I do.
