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. 

Prima's CHA Winter 2011 Sneak Peak

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.
