challenge: Let's Capture These Sketches #117

i had a wonderful walking time with mrs. Mom last week.

it has been too long and i was glad that she was up for it.

so off we went to Sentosa Boardwalk, which was a gorgeous place for ANY occasional photo-taking, and i took plenty of snaps.

this particular photo was a sure-thing for Let's Capture These Sketches' latest challenge.

i have started putting the white fonts when i realised that i was out of 'R'.

so i cut a small piece and attached.

(-___-)"""

 i absolutely LOVE this expression from mrs. Mom.

my recent obsession - paper rosettes.

Winter CHA begins today.

there're already so many yummilicious kits that i'm aiming.

i guess the new year's resolution of Cutting Down of Scrapbooking Shopping is going to be broken.

soon.

 (-___-)""" -> kindly pardon the horrible angle.

it started with a black corrugated board.

then the cutting began.

and the photos were printed.

and the rosettes were made.

and poof!

it's so obsessively much fun to do your own paper rosette.

it takes a longer time but being able to decorate it to your own taste is so, so, so much sweeter.

i'm looking forward to the next handmade item that i'm going to be obsessed about.

callenge: Challenge Me Happy #15

NEW - : made or become fresh

there are many definitions on Merriam-Webster but i particularly like this one.

that's what Challenge Me Happy called for on their 15th challenge.

and so, i chose a photo of myself that was taken right after my new hairstyle was done.

the last time i did anything to my hair was in 2009.

(-___-)""" -> oooh ...

and so.

this was absolutely inspired by Melinda Spink's Waterbaby.

i love all those bits that she used.

and since i had plenty of buttons, i decided to go for it.

handmade: paper rosettes

i didn't realise how satisfied it felt after finishing my own embellishment.

oh wow.

OH YEAH!!!

2011

 **please pardon the bad photogaphing**

this little baby took me longer than expected.

there wasn't any 'Yes, this goes here' but more of 'If this is fine, it's good to go'.

it's quite fun actually, the skeptical part, because i wanted this to look fine.

and it looks fine to me.

\(^.^)/

i made small envelopes that hold the journaling tag.

and it was [painful?] fun to have the photos all rotated instead of the usual straight paste.

2011 [with journaling tags out]

 Simple Stories Happy Day. American Crafts Thickers Lettermen Flocked Letter Stickers Pomegranate. Creative Imaginations Paint It!. My Little Shoebox Mini Alphabet Sticker Red Lipstick & Blue Jeans. Making Memories Metallic Basics Mini Circle Brad. Imaginisce Glam Rocks - Pearl. 
Simple Stories Life Documented. ZVA Creative Self Adhesive Cyrstal. 

the left box was a bit bare so instead of embellishments, i rolled some papers [Simple Stories Life Documented] and some Zva crystals.

and it's good.

it fills up.

\(^.^)/

this was so much fun!!!

for 2012, i need to take note [photos] of the main events.

and of course, improve on my photo-taking please.

" Thanks For Looking "
