Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 154
"family"

Catching up, catching up! =D Sketch 155 is in the works as we speak (just putting some finishing touches). Hope I can squeeze in a layout or two so my July posts don't seem so dismal. Though, on hindsight, this July was anything but dismal - it was actually quite wonderful. =)

Forgot to mention we watched the 6th Harry Potter movie and was not disappointed. It was pretty good and surprisingly funny, and the delivery of most of the scenes appeared "sincere" (not being a movie critic here, just that it's refreshing to see acting from kids that don't totally look 'forced').

P.S. This layout is one of the many queued up for me, it's for a friend of mine (ex-office colleague) and her new family. Sweet Bettina looks so lovable with her doting parents - the little photo makes her look like she's wearing a wig. LOL.

Mini Album Challenge

Gosh, I've REALLY missed scrapping. My sisters were here for 2 weeks and we naturally went on a shopping spree (needless to say my credit cards have been maxed out). So I've been missing on a lot of action on the scrapping scene and would like to get connected (even Farmtown has taken a backseat to our li'l shopping excursions).

To have finished this mini album is just the start (hopefully!), coz I bought a few WP pages (not to mention a few more thickers, ribbons, etc) last week and will definitely need to be used (and soon).

Red, White, Blue and Buttons

"Cute as a button"

The little boy in the photo is Hans, the youngest son of an officemate. I think he's about 7 now and still quite cute as a button. =)

Gosh, just one more day and it'll be the weekend. Can't hardly wait!

My Girl

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 149
"My Girl"

Okay, so a trip to MWL was all I really needed to keep the mojo flowing. =D Some great stuff from My Little Shoebox and Webster's Pages. I'm sooo going back this week to stock up on more stuff (and also because they've got a lot of stuff on promotion). When will the sale end?! I can't help myself!

Transformers was fun! It lifted my mood (a bit) since my sisters won't be coming here this weekend after all. We're really scared of the A(H1N1) flu and don't want to take a chance on infecting DD. I've heard the vaccine's already available but not sure if it's only in the U.S. or here in Singapore; we're still thinking that my sisters could possibly just wear N95 face masks and take a bath immediately after getting home (mom hasn't cancelled the plane tickets yet eventhough we talked about it last week). I'm not re-scheduling my leave either so whether they come here or not I'm gonna have a week off of quality time to spend with DH/DD and most probably a LOT of scrapping done. CAN'T WAIT!

Got a few more layouts done too.


52 Sketches 52 Weeks - Sketch 25
"Dad & Me"

A belated Father's Day layout I made for 52 Sketches using Webster's Pages. I didn't know their papers were so nice! I was so torn between using them immediately or just keeping them. I'm gonna have to search for them on any of the LSS's here.


And here's another layout I did for a friend. It's based on Jen Jockisch's layout "last day" (Scrapbooks Etc, May/June issue).

Dots and Stripes

Scrapbook Challenges - Dots and Stripes
"Picture Perfect"

This layout was based on Nicole Eshelman's sketch for "No Doubt" (Scrapbooks Etc, January 2009 issue). The base PPs are from SEI and Bazzil, and the brown PP's from Pebbles.

I hope to finish another dots and stripes layout (I've still got a lot more photos from friends to scrap). Hopefully I can get inspired with the new arrivals soon (*wink* *wink*).

Mojo! Where are you? I need you! =D

My Cheeky Little Daughter

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 148
"Cheeky"

It's been a while since I've posted (as usual!). I think my mojo's running low. =( I'm really wishing I could've done some more on this layout but I don't know what! (I think I need a trip to MWL or Laines very soon).

Speaking of, we're gonna watch Transformers next week at the Grand Cathay which is quite near MWL so I'm excited about that. =) I'm on a self-imposed exile - I've absolutely prohibited myself from shopping (darn this GSS!). Thank goodness it's gonna end this Friday - HAHAHAHA!
