scrapped: 2013's First 12x12

it has been too long.
after putting everything negative behind me, i managed to finally sit down to my beloved papers and glue.
with the Silhouette Cameo as an additional member to the family.

 Three-Oh
Lily Bee Buttercup papers; Maya Road Butterflies; Prima Flowers

this was inspired by one of Sketchy Thursdays' sketches, and i'm absolutely l♥ving the Lily Bee colours.
i should start focusing on what my brains, eyes and heart like when scrapbook shopping.
and the first Cameo cut on this layout was the 'Three-Oh'.


She & Her Jumpshots
 
Crate Paper Fourteen papers; Prima Flower

this was her [my aunt's] first trip to the USS and she became "obsessed" with jumping shots.
and she can definitely do this professionally.
i couldn't resist.
ooh yeah ...

scrapped: Digital L♥ve

shopping for digital scrapbooking is always a delicious journey for me.
even though i keep telling myself to stop, the message don't seem to travel straight to my brains.
i'm slowing down though.

Imperfection
Treasured Moments - a collaboration between Krista Sahlin and Sugarplum Paperie

this was one of the "rejected" photos for Marque D'Amour's photoshoot, but i love this photo.
our red outfits simply shone in a background of gray.
apparently, all the photographer did was shake the camera.
 questionable but whatever works.


Walk-About-Neh
 Laurie Ann's Reflecting papers + Krista Sahlin's In The City alphas and embellishment bits

this was our [mrs. Mom's and mine] first long walk in 2013.
from Furama City Center Hotel to Merlion Park @ One Fullerton.
we've only had two stops.
one, was at The Central and two, at the end of Boat Quay, which these photos were taken.
mrs. Mom was tired but she did it.
now i'm planning for Walk No. 2.


Frosted Love
Laurie Ann's Reflecting & Remember

home-made cupcakes with frosting.
i don't need any more reason to not scrap this baby.


 XOXO
 XOXO - a collaboration between Amy Jaz and Traci Reed

the group of people, who took time off their weekend schedule, to celebrate my 30th on the actual day.
it was an awesome day of pizza, sherperd's pie, glazed chicken wing, Seasons Ice Lemon Tea and Taboo.

(⌒▽⌒)☆

and now, off to the papers and glue.

excitement ♥: BOOM!!!

(●ゝω)ノヽ(∀<●)
it's definitely, mostly excitement.
you only turn 30 once and instead of moping to the change in digit, celebrate!
and don't forget to reflect - that's the most important thing to do as a human.

and with this celebration, i did a scrapbook of my 3rd decade.
i put together a stack of my favourite papers and embellishments through my favourite layouts from Scrapbook.com.
.

The Childhood
where i gather my favourite childhood photos.












The AdultMOD
i'm taking note of my favourite adult photos.










there's definitely going to be a Part II on this because there'll be the actual 30th celebration too.
and i definitely think that i need a second album too.

retail therapy - d(-_^)

oops ...

and guess what my beloved Power Systems department gave me for this year's birthday?

excitement ♥: 13 Days of Thanks [02]

it's TWO days more!


the alphas are from Krista Sahlin's Blessed, and the paper and embellishments are from her too.

excitement ♥: 13 Days of Thanks [03]

three.
oh so three.
'3' and '13' are my favourite numbers.


Amy Martin's A Mix of Stars.
stars, stars, stars.
i am obsessed with stars ever since i saw Cake Boss making star-shaped cookies on Youtube.
it's all i want whenever i play with the papers and glue.

8.1.13

excitement ♥: 13 Days of Thanks [05]

it's. five. days. more.


this was made using Krista Sahlin's Fleetwood and Blessed alphas.
i love the wood grain.

my favourite scrapbooking idol, Piradee, liked an FB page called Pixels & Company.
i casually clicked on it and fell in love immediately.
it's all the digital scrapbook yummies and god-knows why i haven't ventured into this earlier on.
but unfortunately, the payment mode is only in Paypal, which i'm not "in-tune" with.
it's still an eye-candy anyway.

excitement ♥: 13 Days of Thanks [10]

it's ten days to it.


friends - what's life without these colourful beings?
i've had friends, who stabbed me in the back.
i've had friends, who list me in their Unnecessary Until Needed Friend list.
and for those group of friends, who accepted and love me as i am now [moody and all], are the rainbows in my heart.

this is Krista Sahlin's Vintage Carnival, for the paper and embellishment, with her Blessed alphas.

the colour of the paper is so yummy.
the alphas are from Krista Sahlin's Blessed.

and this is for today.

despite all the ups and downs, family is always family.
and once again, Laurie Ann's Reflection and Krista Sahlin's Blessed.
