Little flyers LO

Did this layout awhile back for Label Tuip girl lift challenge and haven't got time to load it, so here it goes, my little flyers. Hmm.. am I using the wrong spelling here? Anyway, what I mean is they are frequent flier. Oh.. now I see.. I've got the wrong spelling. :p

This layout is inspired by Label Tulip girl: Kimberly Garofolo Neddo' Garden girls, I've flip the original layout

I wanted to actually make a layout that have clouds there and I wanted to play with my acrylic paint. But after using it, I regretted and thus I use embossing technique to further enhance the texture on the paint. The next thing I wanted to do was actually to have a bird or air-plain in the layout, but I ended up using the butterflies instead.

Material used: Core-dination cardstock, American Craft chipboard letter stickers, Maya Road chipboard letter, Kaiser Craft pearls, some lace and pom-pom, butterflied die-cut from Suzanne ;)

This moment

I know.. these photos look more like for the title "BFF". But I don't really know if they are best friends, and I don't even know how to spell his name! So, to me, this is more like what I love to see in Mervin. My journal is: This moment, I love you because... you are having fun with your classmate, you are easy to be with, and just because you are you.

I do love to see him play with his friends, I do enjoy his laughter and silliness while he play, just as long as he doesn't get too rough.

Material used: Fancy pants rub-on, Jenni Bowlin Rhinestone button, Lily Bean French couture, Fiskar border punch, Making Memories journal piece.


Another thing, about my Project 365. I'm way behind and loosing the zest maybe 'cos I don't have the kit on hand, maybe 'cos I'm not sure how to start to put them into 12x12" layout, maybe I'm just too tight up with other things, maybe I am just not patient enough. Is it bad to just drop the project? hmm..

Random photos

Some random photos of the boys that I kept in my phone.

First one taken in the air-port in April, in KKIA. I use this as my screen saver :D
This one was taken by hubby and yet being loaded into my phone, also taken in April, over in China.

This last one was taken last week. See Calvin's face with white dots? Those are the calamine lotion on his Chicken Pox spots. He is playing with the weeds here. :D

congratulations


I would probably won't be able to give out this card by the end of this week. The card is meant for a colleague cum friend who has just given birth to a baby girl. I haven't met the cutie pie yet. At the same time that I'm hoping she is reading my post, I'm also hoping that she'll read this after I've given her the card :D

I made this card by using the sketch from Got Sketch #86.

The cute little butterfly is from Suzanne, thanks again lady!

Ops, I forgot to take down what product I've used here. All I can remember is the pearl is from Kaiser Craft, the green PP is from American Craft, cardstock is from Bazzill Basic. Well have to update the list later.

On being you

At first I wanted the title to be "On being your mom", but find that my journal is more about Calvin and it is easier for me to find those letter stickers *wink*.

Journal: Started when you were one plus, I seldom carry you 'cos I was having your little brother. I would only carry you when I needed to. Now come to think of it, I haven't been hugging you more enough, haven't been carrying you more enough. And yet you grow so fast that you are getting heavier to carry. You are actually a kid that need my hugs more than anyone else. You seems to have forgotten how to "manja" with me. And often time I haven't been paying enough time to know what you really want. You need more attention and affection. I hope I have shown you enough of that and you really feel that you are love.

Am using the sketch from Pamela World of Scrap for the page and have been inspired by Scrap-inspire-create to create this layout filled with "heartfelt journaling" for their June Challenge.

Product used: Lily Bee french couture PP, Prima build-a-swirl stamp, Basic Grey bitsy stamps butterfly/b2, My Mind's eye lil girl stamp, American Craft letter sticker, Rosa Moka appel de la nature letter stickers, Prima flowers, some Rhinestones and ric-rac.

[No photo]
25th May (Monday): Took a day off from work and went around the house with hubby to discuss over the layout and how we wanted it to be. I hope I can understand what hubby was talking about the hose and I hope he would trust the contractor to do his part, I wish he can concentrate more on the interior feel of the house.

Day 144
24th May (Sunday): Mervin's school family day and we all had a chance to attend this year as a family. We have missed this last year as we all went over to China to visit hubby.

Day 143
23rd May (Saturday): Hubby came back today at the afternoon flight using Air Asia. We straight went to Sutera Harbor for our dinner together with FIL. But Mervin didn't wear his sandal on to the car, so he has to sit still (almost) the whole night.
