I am very sure now that its a reaction to the mold found on my scrapbook items and supplies... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9YmLG-JmzAk/TWEM-TyUR6I/AAAAAAAABM0/g5XQgNVu6qI/s1600/DSC08279.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9YmLG-JmzAk/TWEM-TyUR6I/AAAAAAAABM0/g5XQgNVu6qI/s400/DSC08279.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575752078264125346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-apxdcvO_TdE/TWEM9nv8CLI/AAAAAAAABMs/tUGu4vBewy8/s1600/DSC08284.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-apxdcvO_TdE/TWEM9nv8CLI/AAAAAAAABMs/tUGu4vBewy8/s400/DSC08284.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575752066442987698" /></a><br /><br />Seriously in this part of the country, where its all humid...I wonder if any of you out there have experienced this... I Do. I have never seen anyone complain about having mold issues on their scrapbooks, art deco and all their supplies so far... so pls share... I found this <a href="https://www.imagepermanenceinstitute.org/webfm_send/383">article </a>so far and it has helped... a MUST READ.<br /><br />It has been quite a challenging task to get rid of the mold. I didn't see this coming cause I really enjoy cleaning, and sanitizing my room, washing all the upholstery...weekly... but I forgot about the huge bulk of paper and wooden products in my room. I usually clean them by vacuuming areas where I can if dust collect...<br />Maybe it was the recent rainy season in December and last month that started the mold.<br /><br />And so, its been a pain. But I will survive.<br />Just staying away from scrapbooking abit until Im better.<br /><br />But for all YOU out there...<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Scrap to your Heart's desires...</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5355181276558064011-4040262413170432289?l=thenostalgicscrapper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Nostalgic Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148105114647276356noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355181276558064011.post-75713136263745555712011-01-30T13:17:00.011+08:002011-01-30T14:41:38.551+08:00First thing's first... <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">I miss visiting my blog friends... </span> <br />Second... <br />Thank you for still dropping in, to check on me... <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I have not been scrapbooking or creating for weeks... </span> <br />I have lost all mood to scrap, because I am focusing on work, my sister's wedding, and everything else in life... <br /> <br />But I have yet to update on some of my work done in December last year... so here goes... <br /> <br />This is a tag album for a childhood friend, whom I met up with in December.. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TUT20dGMz3I/AAAAAAAABKY/qTi-dwdJfVg/s1600/DSC08168.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Its like you have fallen so hard, and you were just about to pick yourself up...and someone comes kicking you down again. <br />Pretty much like that.<br /><br />Sometimes, you try so hard. But things are not meant to go your way. And you get lost. In all confusion, You come to a stand still. And you ask yourself... <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Where do I go from here?"</span><br /><br />Over at the <a href="http://www.bravegirlsclub.com/">BraveGirlsClub</a>, Melody Ross had this to say, " <span style="font-style:italic;">do not let your weaknesses define you</span>..." <br />and That just hit me hard... that I have actually been spending so much energy and time thinking of how lousy I feel... It is killing ME. What about all the good things I have done... and that I am capable of doing... what about all the people who do <span style="font-weight:bold;">believe</span> in me. <br /><br />The bravegirlsclub inspired me to do this one. I found an old frame in the storeroom the other day, and it got me started on a couple of things. Little reminders to help me through.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TMYj-dCn3LI/AAAAAAAABA8/XgDd5GKi00g/s1600/DSC08183.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I know my family is missing Father dearly...deeply. But Life like everything else has to go on. This blog. Scrapbooking. It started because of him. It was because I wanted to remember and never forget. And I want to help others remember too and never forget happier and sad times we went through.<br /><br />Everyone has lost someone dear and close. They fall. Sometimes for a long time. But they do get up. Its only natural to feel the loss of someone so important in our lives. But We have to always brave on, and face this life without them. I tell myself that everyday.<br /><br />I wanted to share the "green packets" I personalized!!! Eid is also a time for giving, and we often place money inside these packets to giveaway to young and old.<br />I bought some plain envelopes...then misted and stamped different images on them... okay maybe I got a little too crafty... but I can't help it!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy8VGnhKI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/2Fqg6JOyfbI/s1600/DSC08179.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy8VGnhKI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/2Fqg6JOyfbI/s400/DSC08179.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514432280776901794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy7wn1G2I/AAAAAAAAA7Q/96yW5ox98Yk/s1600/DSC08181.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy7wn1G2I/AAAAAAAAA7Q/96yW5ox98Yk/s400/DSC08181.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514432270984092514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy7MuZfdI/AAAAAAAAA7I/9mWrUcbnXrs/s1600/DSC08182.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIcy7MuZfdI/AAAAAAAAA7I/9mWrUcbnXrs/s400/DSC08182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514432261347966418" /></a><br /><br />They are good to go!<br /><br />Other than that, I've been busy cleaning and decorating home, and preparing cookies for Eid.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIczYoeKEjI/AAAAAAAAA7g/aGqv2AjpvLs/s1600/DSC08169.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIczYoeKEjI/AAAAAAAAA7g/aGqv2AjpvLs/s400/DSC08169.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514432767012246066" /></a><br /><br />I am excited to see my friends of different races come over for Eid...

In this mini book, I minimized the use of embellishments to highlight the photographs. I wanted to bring focus to the special event that was taking place... and so, I was looking along the lines of making this album simple and elegant.<br /><br />First, you would need to choose the colour of your cardstocks and Hambly Screenprints. Here, I choose cardstocks with lilac and turquoise hues to match my photographs, and <a href="http://www.qbaroo.com/HamblyScreenPrints/main.cfm?categoryoid=2&productoid=153">Hambly Screenprints in white Mini Graph</a>. You then have them cut to size of 8" by 6" and make the overlay your book cover.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIEmT-jGaWI/AAAAAAAAA2I/xPqMeqDIABQ/s1600/DSC08130.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIEmT-jGaWI/AAAAAAAAA2I/xPqMeqDIABQ/s400/DSC08130.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512729543527786850" /></a><br /><br />Next, punch holes into them. You can choose to use rings to attach them later.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIEnipQoOOI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/pAp-MNbYh8w/s1600/DSC08132.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIEnipQoOOI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/pAp-MNbYh8w/s400/DSC08132.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512730895022831842" /></a><br /><br />The main stamp used in this project is from <a href="http://www.shopatron.com/products/productdetail/part_number=SM29/555.0.23009.0.0.0.0">Crafty Secrets- Birds at Home</a>. Stamp 5 images of the bird cage on lightly misted cardstock, making 1 of it a cutoff image of a birdcage.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGtwidxaOI/AAAAAAAAA2w/jAdXOzi97Gc/s1600/DSC08134.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGtwidxaOI/AAAAAAAAA2w/jAdXOzi97Gc/s400/DSC08134.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512878468275202274" /></a><br /><br />You then arrange them such that 4 of the smaller birdcages go behind the overlay, while the biggest one on the front of the cover. Once you are sure of their positions, secure them with a little glossy accent so that it will dry clear.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIHAQuCGnpI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/yv2Fnl4rpPA/s1600/DSC08133.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIHAQuCGnpI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/yv2Fnl4rpPA/s400/DSC08133.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512898812345491090" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGxCc_CnDI/AAAAAAAAA3I/1LVT6YhvDIQ/s1600/DSC08135.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGxCc_CnDI/AAAAAAAAA3I/1LVT6YhvDIQ/s400/DSC08135.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512882074576657458" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGxhCJOUCI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/fZ7opz4-__8/s1600/DSC08136.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGxhCJOUCI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/fZ7opz4-__8/s400/DSC08136.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512882599947554850" /></a><br /><br />Take a die cut of a ring, or you can make your own, and pimp it up by smudging some gesso on, and a good amount of distress inks on them.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIG0GL_M9zI/AAAAAAAAA3w/sxGEyB8WgjA/s1600/DSC08139.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIG0GL_M9zI/AAAAAAAAA3w/sxGEyB8WgjA/s400/DSC08139.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512885437268293426" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGygtujiGI/AAAAAAAAA3o/7uSddSTSn3U/s1600/DSC08141.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/TIGygtujiGI/AAAAAAAAA3o/7uSddSTSn3U/s400/DSC08141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512883693978617954" /></a><br /><br />Line all of these up... together with some flowers and fonts...

According to Ali Edwards, in her book- <span style="font-style:italic;">Sharing your story</span>... Collaborative books include others opinions, views, and feelings... it is something you can create together with family members or friends... <br /><br />I really wanted to make a book about Father. Especially a book detailing part before and part after cancer. I think it is an important process for all of my family members to add something into the page... so that we can have a fuller and more complete picture of what happened... so that we can remember him together...

So, I hope he finds what he is looking for. <br /> <br />I tried something new. Seen at the bottom part of the canvas- To add more texture, what I did was use distress re-inkers and drop a few onto the paper, and while its still wet, add a drop of glossy accents onto the same spot!!! <br /> <br />Thanks for looking... <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Scrap to your heart's desires!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5355181276558064011-5525074757537395554?l=thenostalgicscrapper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Nostalgic Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148105114647276356noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355181276558064011.post-1766739313608148722010-07-12T22:15:00.007+08:002010-07-12T22:33:11.138+08:00Something wonderful happened yesterday!

Hope you had a beautiful celebration...</span> <br /><br />In my mother's words... "Mother's day is any day that a mother feels appreciated by her children..." And this mother's day somehow feels more soulful to me...looking at my mother, realizing that she is aging... having to come to terms with my father's death and knowing that this makes her a very lonely being. I am also sadden by the news of a close friend's mother falling very ill. You know...very often, when we least expect it... things happen...and it changes the very course of our lives. <br /><br />People around us...they each have their own mountains to conquer... own trials... obstacles... own set of difficulties to face... No matter... we always have to survive, and be brave. No matter... we have to cherish and be grateful for what we have. <br /><br />Below is a canvas project using different distressing methods. I love the coat of distressed powder I used... cause I am in love with the richness of Burgundy... and of course, I have always been in love with this picture.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4BT9-2_I/AAAAAAAAAkA/ZoMWAw7T9zs/s1600/DSC06444.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 397px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4BT9-2_I/AAAAAAAAAkA/ZoMWAw7T9zs/s400/DSC06444.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469261130167671794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4AorhWzI/AAAAAAAAAj4/ttFbHqVmgkM/s1600/DSC06447.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4AorhWzI/AAAAAAAAAj4/ttFbHqVmgkM/s400/DSC06447.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469261118547516210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4AKUB8ZI/AAAAAAAAAjw/48q8QLtaZ4I/s1600/DSC06445.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a4AKUB8ZI/AAAAAAAAAjw/48q8QLtaZ4I/s400/DSC06445.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469261110395924882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a3_hqeyrI/AAAAAAAAAjo/bqGDtzdUfWA/s1600/DSC06446.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a3_hqeyrI/AAAAAAAAAjo/bqGDtzdUfWA/s400/DSC06446.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469261099484236466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a3_JaL8GI/AAAAAAAAAjg/GsqVnEJsago/s1600/DSC06448.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S-a3_JaL8GI/AAAAAAAAAjg/GsqVnEJsago/s400/DSC06448.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469261092973441122" /></a><br /><br />Thank you for dropping by...

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.

Coping with the noise, dirt, dust... having things shifted... CHANGE... Change is hard to do. But things were falling apart, so reassured my mother... Change has to take place now.<br /><br />I have been in and out of bad days. <br />I can't say for sure I'm done with IT. But I am doing my best to cope with Life.<br /><br />I want to share this canvas piece with you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S686DrELuQI/AAAAAAAAAcA/M3ETI_R11x0/s1600/DSC05950.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S686DrELuQI/AAAAAAAAAcA/M3ETI_R11x0/s400/DSC05950.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453641508543248642" /></a><br /><br />Again working with an old photograph. This is of my parents while they were already engaged to each other. I love the spontaneity of the photo. And the pink hue it had. Their friend snapped this...while My father was singing to my mother. Mother said she liked this photo best. So, I put this picture of them with the song from "The Story", because the meaning of the song is just so perfect for them. And they were made to share their life story together.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S684AnNMGkI/AAAAAAAAAb4/cWfWakwjmUE/s1600/DSC05955.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S684AnNMGkI/AAAAAAAAAb4/cWfWakwjmUE/s400/DSC05955.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453639256944417346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S684AExa3ZI/AAAAAAAAAbw/wDKljmyz2JM/s1600/DSC05953.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S684AExa3ZI/AAAAAAAAAbw/wDKljmyz2JM/s400/DSC05953.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453639247701138834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S683_uTlWnI/AAAAAAAAAbo/o6Pq_nluejA/s1600/DSC05956.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S683_uTlWnI/AAAAAAAAAbo/o6Pq_nluejA/s400/DSC05956.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453639241670417010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S683_Gbh7lI/AAAAAAAAAbg/2MU7IW8x2WY/s1600/DSC05957.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S683_Gbh7lI/AAAAAAAAAbg/2MU7IW8x2WY/s400/DSC05957.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453639230966328914" /></a><br /><br />Thank you for dropping by.<br /><br />Go on, <span style="font-style:italic;">Scrap to your heart's desires!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5355181276558064011-6349612504090468191?l=thenostalgicscrapper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Nostalgic Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148105114647276356noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355181276558064011.post-1822133664342082802010-03-24T23:40:00.002+08:002010-03-24T23:43:47.741+08:00Greetings...<br /><br /><a href="http://lialuvsblythes.blogspot.com/">Lia Abdullah</a> is having a very wonderful 'lelong' sale to clear off alot of her scrapbook supplies this weekend...!!

I have been dead busy...cleaning and cleaning and cleaning... I feel very disorientated.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I want to share some photos of the craft session I have been carrying out... I am very blessed to have the opportunity to work with the senior pupils and it has helped me alot because there is more room for reflection on my teaching approaches. The pupils made the cards with minimum prompts... I have learnt to let go alot...and not direct anymore... instead letting the pupils lead me, and take charge of their craft, encouraging them with choice making, and facilitating their creative journey... so kudos to them! With a sample of the work we are doing for that session, and some demonstrations, the pupils are able to make the cards on their own...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6du-2-ZcoI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/kSLhznzTGqg/s1600-h/22032010(012).jpg"><img style="display:block;

And the special thing about a photograph, is the connection you make with it. This, in my hand... was almost like a door to my father's dreams... and in touching it, seeing it, I felt with my heart why is it that he wanted to be a photographer. I closed my eyes and immersed myself into the photo, I could almost feel the stillness of the air in that picture, and the sunlight dancing across their faces... I could almost hear the gentle laughter they exchanged... I could almost, almost hear the stories I missed out on... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXksd1ToI/AAAAAAAAAYs/Ic1J2hjhuI0/s1600-h/DSC05871.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXksd1ToI/AAAAAAAAAYs/Ic1J2hjhuI0/s400/DSC05871.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450014786994916994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXkO-3WeI/AAAAAAAAAYk/f_kNA1ZGin8/s1600-h/DSC05863.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXkO-3WeI/AAAAAAAAAYk/f_kNA1ZGin8/s400/DSC05863.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450014779080399330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXjt391HI/AAAAAAAAAYc/xMsUkTjkRU8/s1600-h/DSC05868.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXjt391HI/AAAAAAAAAYc/xMsUkTjkRU8/s400/DSC05868.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450014770193093746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXi1PiFGI/AAAAAAAAAYU/g_ZSndPlaQU/s1600-h/DSC05869.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXi1PiFGI/AAAAAAAAAYU/g_ZSndPlaQU/s400/DSC05869.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450014754991117410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXiVPhVEI/AAAAAAAAAYM/6GbSPA0AJow/s1600-h/DSC05864.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S6JXiVPhVEI/AAAAAAAAAYM/6GbSPA0AJow/s400/DSC05864.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450014746401133634" /></a><br /><br />These photographs were all stories... and they yearn for someone to listen...to the things they don't say.<br />I was amazed with the discoveries I made today...

The book really reminded me of my childhood. You know what I love about second hand goods... is the history that comes with it... Often I will think, "who owned this?" "what was she/he like?" "what kind of life did they have?"...

Suddenly, an image came into mind... And as I sat down, pondering on life... and everything that happened... I begin taking out my canvas board. It was 1 in the morning, and I could'nt sleep. And for days I had this song playing in my head... <br /><br />Hey now, hey now<br />Don't dream it's over<br />Hey now, hey now<br />When the world comes in<br />They come, they come<br />To build a wall between us<br />We know they won't win <br /><br />And all that lead me to this...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc9HnPbOI/AAAAAAAAAXc/dIUIoBW8USE/s1600-h/DSC05767.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc9HnPbOI/AAAAAAAAAXc/dIUIoBW8USE/s400/DSC05767.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448331854296870114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc8mk6iSI/AAAAAAAAAXU/gzYbahBt0RE/s1600-h/DSC05769.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc8mk6iSI/AAAAAAAAAXU/gzYbahBt0RE/s400/DSC05769.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448331845428742434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc8F23MaI/AAAAAAAAAXM/DOKSm9duE5Q/s1600-h/DSC05770.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc8F23MaI/AAAAAAAAAXM/DOKSm9duE5Q/s400/DSC05770.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448331836645650850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc7f4-t9I/AAAAAAAAAXE/vv1pbW0nd8Q/s1600-h/DSC05771.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc7f4-t9I/AAAAAAAAAXE/vv1pbW0nd8Q/s400/DSC05771.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448331826453985234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc62vyJwI/AAAAAAAAAW8/WFDh09Mipw8/s1600-h/DSC05773.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5xc62vyJwI/AAAAAAAAAW8/WFDh09Mipw8/s400/DSC05773.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448331815409559298" /></a><br /><br />The canvas is made up of bits and pieces that symbolises where I am in life right now. First of all, I really adore stamps from Tim holtz...so I chose this quote. I picked a picture of the characters in the book looking out into sea... when they had finally reached the island they seek... This is to remind me of the children I work with and their unlimited zest for life... A compass to help me find my way in life if I am lost...to represent religion. A butterfly so that I will always be free to fly, and accept changes... 7 gypsies measuring gaffer tape... to tell myself that I cannot judge life by the failures I have encountered... the flowers symbolizes the blossoming of life. A key hole, so that I know I can always open the door to my dreams. And the quote - "Live the life you Imagined" taken from Tim Holtz's blog. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by.

It is also inspired by <a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/2010/02/sketch-93.html">Sketch 93 from Creative Scrappers...<br /></a>.<br />The design of this layout is pretty much metaphorical... My sister has always been a workaholic... and I mean she really works hard... and she can't learn to let go when things does'nt go the way she wants it to... and it gets pretty much crazy around here at times when she is stressed up with work... so placing the silly pictures of her behind the Hambly screen, and a picture of her smiling on a mat... I wanted to show that, that was pretty much her... taking it all in... and hiding all those emotions inside with a smile... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4LvsNIjI/AAAAAAAAASw/-3JkZIiOQrg/s1600-h/DSC05690.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4LvsNIjI/AAAAAAAAASw/-3JkZIiOQrg/s400/DSC05690.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445687780108476978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4LJeUK9I/AAAAAAAAASo/xyNC0NLa_6g/s1600-h/DSC05693.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4LJeUK9I/AAAAAAAAASo/xyNC0NLa_6g/s400/DSC05693.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445687769849670610" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4KszLsBI/AAAAAAAAASg/G2wYzPN0V6o/s1600-h/DSC05695.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4KszLsBI/AAAAAAAAASg/G2wYzPN0V6o/s400/DSC05695.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445687762152566802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4KDCbhYI/AAAAAAAAASY/P6zMuuR2510/s1600-h/DSC05696.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4KDCbhYI/AAAAAAAAASY/P6zMuuR2510/s400/DSC05696.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445687750942229890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4JibuYOI/AAAAAAAAASQ/Yd0eiOsLjyk/s1600-h/DSC05697.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bDEh8_XaFsA/S5L4JibuYOI/AAAAAAAAASQ/Yd0eiOsLjyk/s400/DSC05697.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445687742189953250" /></a><br /><br />So hope you enjoyed that...
