Layout | My Art Journal Pages + Selfie *LoraBailora*

Hello people, I had a good news that I shared on my instagram a while ago ;)

YEs yes, I am one of the DT girl for Lora Bailora Design Team. I am so proud to be on this crazily talented team. Laura is a sweet Spanish girl who designs her own line of stamps and embellishments. I started follow her on her Instagram ages ago when I started instagram, say 2 years ago. I am always in awe with her talents and cute designs. So you guess I was literally  jumping in joy when she emailed me to invite me to join her amazing team. I love stamps as they are perfect for scrapbooking, card making, project life and also for planning purpose, plus they don't take up a whole lot of space which I could hoard them forever! LOL.

p.s. I also have a thing for Spanish as my hubs used to learn Spanish and stayed there for 6 months ;) So whenever someone commented Spanish on my instagram feed, he will translate the comments for me.

Here's one of my art journaling using the geometric stamp.This page was to journal something bad happened and I spoke to one my good friend (DIYFish) on Facebook about it. Can't thank her enough for her words of wisdom so I decided to pair these cute triangles in the Geometric stamp set with her words of wisdom: No matter what you do, how good you are, you can NEVER please everyone. So true and i just have to learn being perfect + stop stressing myself out. I stamped the various sizes and patterns of triangles using Versa Color cube. I have these cute little ink cubes in almost all the shades and keep them all in 2 boxes of Ferrero Rocher box. 

Next up would be scrapbook page that I made the quilt-inspired background with Geometric stamp set again. I can't seem to get enough of the cute triangle patterns yet. I stamped rows and rows of chevron triangles on 1/2 pieces of white card stock to have a balanced background. I like that the left side of the background is crazily colourful and the right side has pretty white space. I love how the white space balance out the rainbow triangles and help drawing your eyes to the background instead. This is a photo of me and my boy during his very first Zoo trip. On a side note, we were so excited to bring him to see the real lion but when we reach the lion den, the lions were all taking nap.ZZZzzz. And we wanted to bring him to see elephants instead but little boy was way past his nap time and started getting grumpy and yawning all the way. So we went home without visiting the elephants. Anyways, I am hoping to go to the zoo again and I am sure he could benefit a lot from seeing the REAL ANIMALS than seeing them on Youtube =)

Remember to check out Laura's etsy store to get her stamps and embellishments here. She has such a cute little store!

Alrighty, I am sure you could tell I am pretty crazy about triangles right now, don't ask me why ;) I hope you enjoy looking at my pages and you have a great day!

Thanks again for dropping by!

XoXo,

Sam

And I am sure most of my Facebook & Instagram friends are aware that I have just given birth to a baby boy, Ivan on Easter Sunday.

and yes, his head is elongated and with a forceps mark on his right face. And his head is huge!! I am so proud of myself to have given birth to this beautiful baby naturally.

The day we went home...

The little man that rocks our world

Sleepless mom in the making...

These are the random stuff I do the day before I went into labour ward ;)

Craving for a bowl of yummilicious Cendol 

Playing with washi tapes and doodling

Love me some FroYo (MooCow original flavor froyo with almonds and digestive biscuits is always my fave!)

Playing with washi again to ease my contraction pain. I endured 17 hours of contraction pain before i gave into Epidural.

And I made a layout a few hours before admitted to Labour Ward. Funny but true, crafting and playing with papers do ease my contraction pain (or maybe distracting me a great deal in dealing with the awful pain). How awesome is scrapbooking, LoL!

And I know I have been receiving a lot of happy mails since last week. Will definitely share more of my projects (if I ever get to be crafty) and my piles of happy mails this weekend. Thanks for looking and also all the sweet wishes on Facebook + Instagram. <3
