Lil' in betweens.

Squeezed some time to do this.
This is done on a thick 6" by 12" recycled cardboard...
It's going to my aunt and uncle in New Zealand...




I applied distressed ink to the cardboard and coated the edges with embossing powder sparingly.
I misted the butterfly and applied gold ink to the edges... I also incorporated some hand drawn brackets, inspired by Aida Haron.

Thank you for dropping by.
1st May is National Scrapbooking Day!!!

Scrap to your heart's desires...

Childhood...

Looking back at my childhood photographs... I can't help but ponder on all the years that went by... a part of me yearns for yesterday... I am in awe at how 25 years can pass by... I am now an adult... and it still is a scary feeling. THIS is scary. And soon, I will be a mother, and have my own family... and things will change. My mother will grow older... much older... There will always be so much uncertainties in life. And that makes me afraid of living... Not knowing... Losing.






This is a picture Father snapped of us at a neighbourhood market. It must have been a weekend. He used to bring us out all the time... right at the start of dawn break. And yes...that's me, with the sun glaring in my eyes.

Treasure the memories... Scrap to your heart's desires...

A good find...

Go ahead... Scrap to your heart's desires...

Office Decor

I was thinking that I might feel better if I spread some sunshine and happiness around... so... this is it...





A little something I made for the social worker's office...
This is inspired by Aida Haron's use of hand drawn bracket shapes here and in many of her projects...

This is done on a 6" by 12" cardstock... I just got the new stamps from Tim Holtz at Scrapoholics.com... the beautiful sayings are so inspirational I just had to use them... and I tried a new colour scheme, though I am not a fan of red... hope this turned out okay.

Till then... Scrap to your heart's desires!

Remember...Scrap to your heart's desires...

Sad.

This is pretty much how I have felt for the last month...
It feels like an awfully long time.





Sometimes I ask myself...
Is it that We feel sad, but the reality is that We have many things to be happy about... Or is it that We feel happy, but the reality is that We have many things to be sad about...

I really don't know.
Is the glass half filled... or half empty?
Why should it matter... I was thinking- what's in the glass...? *grin* Is it even healthy?

Daily ramblings.

Hang on tight to the weekend... Scrap to your heart's desires...

My Scrapbooking Supplies Challenge #6

This is what I did for My Scrapbooking Supplies Challenge #6... This time with Digital stamps sponsored by Squigglefly...
It was something different from what I have been doing before... so I was happy to learn something new... I explored alot of functions that I never did before on my Adobe... Got it printed out and made this Spring card... added dimensions by using a toothpick to roll edges of petals and leaves, plus some tiny flowered buttons to the center of the flower.

Do play along with us, and stand to win Copic markers! Thank you for visiting.

Don't wait on it...Scrap to your heart's desires!
