Best {seal} Show Ever

Happy Saturday!!  How was your Christmas? I spent a quiet one at home, reading, catching up with all my TV series, crafting, and planning for 2015.  2014 is coming to an end, have you set your goals and make plans for the coming year? I think I might have pushed myself a bit too hard and wrote down a dozen things to do every weekend. It will definitely be very tough, but great things never came from comfort zone, right? (And, I allow...

Just Chillin'

Hey there, happy Saturday! Popping up for a quick post on a simple layout I made. But first, let's have a look at the doodle I did for this layout. Hello, Panda! I know the panda looks slightly out of shape, but this was my first try on doodling. Hopefully I can do better next time. This layout is for another item that I crossed off on my bucket list, item #34, see panda(s)! I always thought I would have to travel to China to get...

Supper Time

Hello, sunshine Saturday!  Can't believe I'm up at 7.30 am today, and with the help of the natural lightning (oh, glorious sun!) that I desperately needed, I finally took the photos of the layout I did for Let's Get Sketchy December Week 2 challenge. And look at me, blogging before lunch on a Saturday! That's a record hahaha Look at that banner cluster at the top, how can you not love that? Such fun layout deserves a fun photo, and these...

The List 1.1

Remember my bucket list back in November 2012? There are a few things that I wanted to change to suit my current life. A lot has changed for the past years, and I would like to update the list to something that I am more capable of completing. I know it sounded like cheating, but.. darn it, it's my list, I can do whatever I want! *la la la* So, here goes, an updated version of my bucket list, The List 1.1. 1. Set foot in at least 5 continents (Currently: Asia, Europe and Australia) 2. Go to Sydney, take picture of the Sydney Opera House 3....

So Totally Wonderful

Hello hello, Happy Sunday! This week's post is a short one, it's about a simple handmade card I made.  I bought some clear stamps and a pack of A6 Card Blanks few weeks ago, in an attempt to convince myself to get back to cardmaking. So, this is the first card I made after my very long break from cardmaking. (The last card I made was in April 2013 *gasp*) Without further ado.. Ta da~~ Oh so cute! Oh so wonderful...

Ribs & Rumps

The place where I fell in love with Lamb Ribs! Hello hello, happy Sunday!  This is another layout that I did two weeks ago. It is kinda minimalist style in my book. I only used a patterned paper and a cardstock, some thickers/letter stickers with minimal embellishing. There is a 4 x 6 portrait photo with two (approx.) 2½ x 3½ portrait photos, and I centered them on the layout with a cardstock stretching behind the photos. My...

Family

Hello hello, Happy Sunday! This is a layout that I made using My Scraps & More Sketch #93. I'm starting to love the design of having two patterned papers as background, but it is also a challenge because of how you need to make sure each patterned paper has their fair share of spotlight. I usually use a blank cardstock or subtle design paired with a busy design, like I did with my previous two layouts with similar sketch concept, Udon...

Wacky Duo

Hello, long abandoned blog! And happy Sunday, dear readers. (Skip the next 2 paragraphs if you're not interested with my excuses for being away) Sorry for being away for so long, but this time I have a few very good reasons for being absent LOL I was away for vacation for almost 2 weeks in September, and when I came back, I started working on a new job. Then I switched from scrapbooking to reading. I just bought too many books and had to finish...

Bonding

Good morning and happy Sunday, ladies and gents!  Did I ever mention how much I love non-working Saturday? Waking up on these Saturdays, with simple breakfast and some crafty inspiration, pure bliss. I love to watch Tracy's process video, they are quite addictive (LOL) and a great way to kick start my crafty side. I watched this yesterday, and then I have this sudden urge to make pretty layouts!  As usual, I browsed through all...

Cockington Green Gardens

Hello hello, happy Friday! I know I promised there will be a new layout last week, but life got in the way, and I do not have the mood to do any scrapbooking then. I really tried, I did. I took out the photos and tried to 'do something' with them, even chosen a sketch layout challenge as my template, but it just didn't feel right. So I kept all my supplies and move on with my life. The past Tuesday was a public holiday in my state, and...
