Up up and away

On our recent trip to Penang,  Sean had a great time parasailing with his dad.  I wanted to capture the sequence of how  they flew up in a layout.  Hence I printed really small photos of them.  Its a simple layout but for me - it's the memories that counts.

Materials used:


Websters Pages pp,  Bazzill cs,  Websters Trim,  Making Memories sticker alphas and chipboard tag,  Autumn Leaves Buttons,  Dear Lizzy AC Thickers Alphas and 3d pop up foam squares.

Stay True

Of late,  she has been quite challenging.  I do not think negatively of it but I know its a part of the growing up process and I have accepted it and I hope she really does not test too much of my patience.  All I want her to know is that no matter what happens that she should always be true to herself and thats the most basic form of respect that she should have for herself.  

I have scrapped the layout quite simply and I managed to open up 2 new packs of Prima Flowers from her and thanks so much for them.  I do love Prima flowers.  Its really nice to receive a RAK once in awhile and I do appreciate them.

Materials used:
Bazzill cs,  Websters Pages pp,  Websters Trims,  Cameo and Fabric Tag, Normal Grosgrain Ribbon, Prima Pearl Blings and Flowers,  Martha Stewart Butterfly and Corner Punches,  Pearl Blings and 3d foam squares.

Diving Treasures

I loved this photo of Clarissa snorkelling at her recent school expedition to Redang.  The clarity of the photo was amazing and well suited for the new Seaside collection of the Websters Pages.  I only had to cut the pp a little and piece the background paper together and voila - another simple layout.

Materials used:
Websters Pages Seaside Collection,  Websters Sticker Alphas, Trim and Fabric Tag,  Bazzill cs,  Momoyo Buttons,  Thread from local haberdashery,  Martha Stewart corner punch and 3d pop up foam.

Scrap Inspire Create April Challenge

Early this month,  Clarissa went to Pulau Redang for 5 days with her school.  This is the longest that she has been away from me and it was hard for mummy to deal with it.  The house was much quieter and even Sean enjoyed being the only child around.  

She packed her own clothes,  prepared her own stuff and judging from all the photos that she took - she had a BALL!  I am glad that she is growing into her own person but at the same time,  the control freak mummy in me kicks in once in a while.  I guess its a case of once my child - always my child.

I have decided to scrap some of the photos that she took. My friend Jazz who owns Scrap Inspire and Create has come up with this awesome challenge here.  This is my take on her challenge.

I love these new line of Websters Pages and I have decided to use them fairly simply.  The challenge stipulated 3 brands of products only namely Websters,  K n Co and Prima.  Hope you like my take and will join in their challenge.

Materials used:
Websters Pages pp - Seaside,  K n Co  Amy Butler and Smitten Collection,  Websters Fabric Tags,  trim and stickers,  Prima flower and 3d pop up dots.
