Layout⎪ Today We... *About A Boy*

This layout is inspire by Dear Lizzy roller stamp with the quote 'today we...' and also the challenge by About A Boy which is to create a layout with the colors of red, white & blue. Red isnt the usual color that I would pick for my projects so this is quite a challnge to me.

Here's my take: A layout with hint of red & blue ;)

I have created at least 5~6 projects using Lucky Charm collection and still have quite a number of papers left. I love the title TODAY WE... as this picture bascally captured the daily things we do. Sometimes we read, we play with flash cards,, tummy time, sing & dance, watch nursery rhymes, laugh and cry together. I want to document all the precious moments with photo and even video. 

I pulled out all the embellishments and die cut in Blue & Red then stack them under or around the photo. Love this cute photo of Ivan who stared at the girl in the flash card in a funny expression. I couldn't help giggle whenever I see this picture. 

I also added some Amy Tangerine die cut and puffy stickers in my stash. Those puffy stickers are so cute that I wanna hoard them all!

Layout⎪ Love You *About A Boy*

Hello people! I have a new layout up on About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge Blog this week. The challenge for this week is 'Going In Circle'. Circle and hearts are two of the most used elements when I am creating layout and project life. I mad love my various sizes of circle punches but to be frank, I only have 4~5 circle punches.

 

For this layout, I decided to use my Studio Calico June kit - Planetarium. I pull out all the papers with circle elements and also polka dots because I want to use as many circles as I could in this layout. I am still loving pastel colors when creating my baby boy layout but I have no idea why it end up being a very very girly layout. Perhaps the lace / ribbon trims under the photo make the layout looks extremely girly?

 

Love the photo collage of Baby Ivan. He looks so grown up here despite being only 8 weeks old. LoL. Is there a STOP button so that I could enjoy his babyhood more? Now I am missing his newborn days ;) I am sure most of the mommies feel the same that time flies and we do not want to miss out any of the precious babyhood.

This Jillibeans phrase stickers are beyond awesome! It looks like silhouette cut minus the hassle of using the die-cutting machine. I could only do a quick layout (i.e. under an hour) nowadays.

adding a tiny bit of grey color to my pastel layout.

I love all the photos of Baby Ivan, thus I made a photo collage using PicStitch app on my iPhone and print in on a 4x4 size. Just the perfect size for a 12x12 layout. And the grey title is also the phrase stickers from Jillibeans that I have grabbed each design in every single color, and some I even grabbed 2!

Project Life⎪ Week 18 & Hip Hip Hooray!

Hello there! I keep forgetting to update my latest Project Life Spread on the blog. And yes, week 18 is my latest spread and I am officially 3 weeks behind. But no worries, I have printed all the photos and just waiting for my Citrus Twist Kits to arrive and I will start working on it till the wee hours.

Another spread using unusual color scheme ;) Orange is definitely something new on my PL

I am loving those orange fuzzy rub-ons by Basic Grey. Tooo took cute! And I realize my spread is getting boring with photos of Ivan only as I was still on my confinement period in Week 18.

love those papers from Webster's Pages - Color & Composition. 

A simple stitched title card with wonky stitches 

Lovely, happy mail from my Instagram friend - Rebecca

Loving the sunburst card from Webster's pages. So glad that I had only 1 more kilogram to go to reach my pre-natal weight.
