Boot Camp Layouts.....

I can truly say that I have been scrapping up a storm.  Last month, I joined Blue Bazaar's Bootcamp wherein all participants are required to create 50 layouts based on the given Pagemap Sketches.  I joined this for the reason to get my scrapping mojos back. Second, is to use up most of the scrapbook materials I have been hoarding specially pattern papers. and of course, enjoy the scrapbooking process.  I am more than halfway done and I have until the end of the month to finish all 50 layouts (really keeping my fingers crossed that I can finish this). And will be posting 2 layouts at a time on each of my blog post. (no specific order)

Lots of Sewing on my layouts and cards!

It is very rare that I use my sewing machine on sewing clothes.  First, i dont know how to make clothes (I wish I know how to...) I just juse it to adjust the length of our jeans and pants - thats it!  However, on paper.... I just love using it!  Stitching really looks nice on pages and cards and I think, i will never get tired of using it on my projects.
For my first page...  this is one of my fave layouts for the year,,,,  Its just a picture layout but I was able to incorporate lots of scraping techniques on this one - layering, misting, sewing, tearing, distressing, DIY flower embellies.

Layouts, OTP and Cards using Greeting Farm Stamps!

It's a Saturday again today... boy time really flies fast.  Harvey is still on holidays till Tuesday next week. So far all is good over here...  Health wise, still waiting for my doctor's appointment - been waiting forever. Agh! But I really hope its worth my wait this time.

This morning, Henry and Harvey was again spending time together swimming.  Harvey was having a great time everytime he knew that his dad is going to bring him at the Aquatic Centre. On the other hand,  I was at my part time work... its was a busy day but I had so much fun.  I took the train home but it took me forever to get on my 2nd train.  Good thing Henry was kind enough to pick me at the second station where I was waiting.

Updated Settings means Updated Posts!!!

Just when I was so lazy to update my blog... I had a chat with a good friend Alby.  And I told her... I was so lazy to upload maybe because I'm having a hard time uploading pictures here in blogger - I have to move and arrange all the photos as I post, which was consuming most of my time!  Then she gave me the solution to my problem.... She told me that I just have to update my blogger settings!!!  And guess what?! It worked!!!  Thanks so much Alby for sharing this tip to me!!!  Now, I don't have any reasons for not posting regularly... because I'm still scrapping, in fact, I have so many finish layouts, cards, OTP and news to share.
