2012!

I know the 1st quarter of 2012 has passed... And I'm really slow in updating this. However, so far, these are the projects created! I'm quite pleased with myself.

This mini album was created for a new friend. I like how the combination of the DCWV papers work. Paper packs are great coz they reduce the time spent on coordinating patterned papers. Some experienced scrapper may say that they get fun out of matching the papers but for me, by the time I pulled out all the matching embellishments, I probably wouldn't be in a mood to scrap anymore. Hence, I like the convenience of the paper packs.









Inserts for the pockets









Embellishments from Prima, DCWV, Creative Imaginations.

Time to Catch Up

It's been eons since I've blogged about something. Or rather, the culmination of events in 2011 that made blogging... low on the priority list. However, I would like to catch up as much as possible...

The blog may take a new turn, it may not just be on my scrap projects or my travels anymore... Let's see where the wind takes me.

Here's a summary of the very few projects that were created in 2011.

Mini albums created sometime during the 2nd quarter of 2011.





Wedding gift box for a very dear friend of mine. Comes with matching guest book.























I liked the guest book a lot. It was possibly my 2nd WOW project since the 9 x 9 frame which I did back in Jun 2010. Come to think of it... not many creations for 2011. I know the reasons why... hopefully 2012 will be different!

Thanks for looking!

Innocence

I wanted to work with muted colors for a change. It's been a long while since I did a 12x12. Couldn't help but feel that I've lost touch. It used to be that picking out color coordinated embellishments took up a lot of time. Now, layouts take twice as long as well. Have to keep scrapping to revive that magic touch. And have to do it fast! The disruptions in the recent months has caused a lot of inconvenience. Even when I wanted to scrap... somehow something keeps stopping me. So baby steps for now. 


Came across this lovely, candid photo taken in Phuket, 2010. Wanted to capture her innocence at the age of 9. 








Using My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey, My Little Yellow Bicycle, American Craft. 

Some recent projects

Have been neglecting this page for a long time. Pictures of some of the recent mini projects I've embarked on. 

Valentine's Day cards for loved ones. Trying to kinda standardized everything to a certain extend. Hearts and pink stuff aren't exactly my style. Had to run out to get some last minute supplies from Martha Stewart. Using also My Little Yellow Bicycle, American Craft, Prima, Sassafrass, 7 Gypsies and Maya Road. 

My 2nd mini album for a sweet girl who's leaving for Brisbane. It took quite a lot of time... I think minis aren't my cuppa. I always feel constrained by the space and the constant thought "Is this enough?". 


Using Bo Bunny, Maya Road, Hambly, and Prima.

The Holiday Season

Here are some snap shots of the good things in life I got to enjoy over the holiday season. Little treats along the way to keep the spirits up. :)

All the way from Finland...

A blue-box virgin no more! :) 

How was your holiday? 

Christmas 2010

The hobby has taken a hiatus the past couple of months. It feels good to be back on the wagon again. A little something for dear friends of mine.
