2 peas in a pod

Scrapping really helps me to destress.  It allows me to enter a little world of my own where it's only paper, embellishments and me...

My 3rd layout for Memorable Seasons.  Jill has been totally generous and such a sweetheart - providing me with so much goodies to play with.

Been meaning to scrap this photo for a while but keep forgetting.  It's a photo of the little one with DH in the background both with the same posture and look on their face! LOL! 2 peas in a pod, right?

Love the Bella Blvd Super Stud line! So CUTE!!  Did a lot of scissor work for this one.

Materials:

Patterned papers: October Afternoon

Bling: Prima

Stickers: October Afternoon, DCWV

Alphas: AC thickers

Farm Visit 1

My GDT work for Memorable Seasons!

We took a really long drive out to the Kranji area to visit Bollywood Veggies, a vegetable farm which has an attached cafe.  It was a really long ride but it was worth it!  The food was good, the ambience rustic and of course there was great company!

In this layout, I played around with a few handmade embellishments for the flowers and tried my hand at quilling.  I must say that it was quite fun and I am actually thinking of doing more of it! 

The photos are double matted - first matted on Kraft paper and then placed on OA patterned paper and matted again.  The alphas were Stickled to make them stand out more against the Kraft paper.

There is hidden journalling here.  I love the journalling cards from OA because they are just soooo cute!

Patterned papers: October Afternoon
Bling: Imaginese, Heidi Swapp (cut up)

Close to Nature

I have been trying to inculcate the love for nature in the little one.  In this day and age, I feel that many children are too caught up in sedentary lifestyles and the world of electronics (including myself! LOL!)  We go to parks and the zoo on a regular basis.  Firstly the little one seems to enjoy it.  It also burns up his extra energy and daddy is always more amenable to these visits than to go shopping. 

Scrapbooking has made me a compulsive photo taker and I'm glad for it.  The photos bring back lots of memories and show how much the little one has grown and developed.  It was not too long ago when he couldn't walk and here he is at the Lori's Loft in the Jurong Bird Park bird spotting all by himself!

Do you notice...

.... how it never rains but pours? I've been away from scrapping and blogging for a relatively long while because:

1. Have been really really really busy at work - with calls that are at a frenetic pace, daily lists challenging (the sadomasochist in me actually enjoys this bit!)
   
2. Have been tasked with some research project which is really interesting but the paper work is painful - Am so not a fan of E-forms! 
   
3. My printer has DIED on me!! The thermal ribbon has gotten stuck on the paper and is broken.  The printer is jammed. ARGH! My DT projects! Thankfully I have a few pre-printed photos to last me and I say it's time to get inventive and scrap a photo-less layout!

So my adrenaline levels are at an all time high!
Anyhow, settled what I could of number 2.  Now raring to go for number 3 - Got my Memorable Seasons GDT pack! WOW! I say Jill's one generous lady! And the stash is SOOOO CUTE! Okie.  Enough wingeing and going to scrap now! Watch this space!
