My latest one...

Finally developed and received the photos from the past roadtrips. This particular one is long overdue. It was taken last summer...

In the mood to scrapbook...

Again, with no photos on hand, I had to make do with the kids' photos from their Spring Picture Day taken in school not too long ago.

It's kind of simple looking, but the satisfaction I got from all the choosing, cutting, arranging and sticking is awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on the developed photos from the past road trips. :)

Boredom strikes again...

This is what boredom gives me... An endless flow of creative "juices"...

Dear, I need more materials! Stockcards, stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers, and more stickers, and an album to store the pieces that we are not framing, since we only have 6 big frames... Unless, you want to buy more frames and turn our house into a gallery? Hehe... :)

Scrapbooking mode...

Perfect weather yesterday for scrapbooking - Simply cooling and the sounds of the raindrops somehow inspired me... Managed to scrapbook photos from 2 places that we went to during our recent roadtrips...

Photos from picture day

My hands felt itchy yesterday. I was in the mood for some craft work, and definitely scrapbooking came to mind. 

But with no developed photos on hand, I'll take a much longer time to scrapbook. It'll be ages before I finally decide which stockcards to use - so many colours and designs to choose from but not everything might be suitable for every photo. What I had were the photos from Zac's and Nana's picture day. With an itching hand, I was so tempted to cut these out for scrapbooking. But on the other hand, I was a bit hesitant to do that as I worry I might spoil them.

Talking about picture day, I was initially unsure what this day was all about. And with me being a bit embarrassed to ask the teacher, I just followed the instruction on the note which the kids brought back from school. The note wrote "Please wear nice clothes to school for your pictures." So, I assumed picture day must be the class photo-taking day like what we had in Singapore. 

After class, I asked the kids how their picture day was. Zac gave a funny look and said "The lady made me laugh then she take a picture." Ehmmm. He must be wondering how come mama is asking such a silly question! Haha. Picture day take picture lor!!! 

I was shocked when they brought back the pictures weeks later. When I opened the envelope, I was expecting to see the normal class photo - the one with the shorter children sitting next to each other in the front row and the taller ones standing at the back row with the teachers.  

Theirs was totally different. It was more like an individual photo. And these individual photos were placed next to each other, with their names written just below it.

Well, back to my story, I am glad I took the risk of cutting it up to satisfy my scrapbooking "craving". Hehe. The kids love it! 

My first project

The combination of bright colours from scrapbooks have always fascinated me. When I admire a piece of such artwork, it never fail to make me feel cheerful and positive. And the best thing about it is that it always seems flawless. Art can never go wrong!!!

I've always wanted to try doing one, but never really had the chance to. Maybe "that feeling" is just not there yet... No inspiration = no mood! Hehe. 

That feeling finally came a few days back. I wanted to give something special as a birthday gift to the sweetest baby girl I know who will be turning ONE. So there I was, spending one evening on my very first project. The feeling was "oohh la la". Ideas kept flowing in and I couldn't resist the temptation of adding more details. I was so into it, measuring, drawing, cutting and sticking, that I didn't realise how much mess I have created. Pieces of stockcards and stickers were everywhere. Haha.

The end result...

So proud of myself. Hehe. I think Nana is a bit like me. She was looking at my creation and kept going "Wow! So nice! I like it! Can I do one too?"
