Your MAIDEN year

I've spend more than 21 days on this 2-pages LOs, 1 of the longest time I spent on a LO!!! This is the LONG-winded process:
*2-3days to select the photos for printing;
*7-8days on paper selection, initially, I've wanted to use BG's Lemonade but set on FP's Kruft instead. If I do not use it now, not sure when I'm going to use it, I bought them when they were still hot on the shelve, probably 1-1½years ago;
*4-5days on sketches;
*6-7days to create the LOs;
*½ day for the final touch-up.

I'm doing this 2-pages LOs to document the changes in your first year, most people will use the title your FIRST year, unable to explain why but I like to use the word MAIDEN for anything that is done the first time.

The tree looks boring, I've jazzed it up with glitter flowers and dew drops. Added baby theme rub-ons and hanged a baby girl dress by the branch.


1 of the many techniques that I've learnt, UTEEd this heart-shaped die-cut a few times and used the sparkle embossing powder for the final layer to give the sparky effect.


I bought this 7G wax seal thingy for a long long time, finally put it to use.

be HUMBLE to admit

It's clearly his team is playing prank by "massaging" the number to make it look good and meeting the KRAs. He has chosen to be a broadcaster to let the whole world know that he's on top of things when he is not at all!!!!

My team has highlighted that something is amiss with such requests and is getting to us pretty often, I took the initiative to alert the overall in-charge, as all the while I thought that he has direct control over this team.

He came to me to ask why did I go to his boss, how come I don't go to him? I've explained myself. Thereafter, he had been coming to my office to ask this, ask that, why this, why that, blah blah blah, this had been going on since last Wed (30 Jun 2010). It's a real pain in my neck to entertain such a person. I feel that he is trying to find fault with my team in whatever mean he can.

I would conclude that this is clearly his team wrong doing, we can close this chapter by putting thing back to order and he should let his team know that this is not right and not to do it again. He has chosen to openly shared this information with people who are not supposed to know. This is like washing his dirty linen in the public!!!

I hope that he do not think that I'm out to get his team into trouble, what I'm doing is part of my duty and role in the organisation.

Lesson learnt is to keep a low profile if you suspected that you are not doing the right thing and be humble to admit it.

Ballet Exam 14 Apr 2010

My initial intention was to create a 1-page LO to showcase how I was amazed by the hair-stylist, uncle David's magic hands to "transform" your hair from with fringe to no fringe happening right in front of my eyes within minutes.I've received this set of MME Out & About Paper kit from MWL for successfully completed their membership reward system to SFL. Since I touched on your ballet exam and still have complimenting stash left, might as well create another LO for your first ballet milestone:A good way to use up my stash, but I still have a lot a lot more to go!!!!

Crossed eyes!!!!

Crossed eyes, or strabismus as it is medically termed, is a condition in which both eyes do not look at the same place at the same time. It occurs when an eye turns in, out, up or down and is usually caused by poor eye muscle control or a high amount of farsightedness.
I snapped this photo when Ani was plaiding your hair and instantly you gave me this crossed eyes, nerdy look!!! How can I not scrap this candid shot of you?
Scribble Scrabble Evelyn's collection of paper were used here and YOU have "instructed" me to use these 2 pieces of paper and not the other 2!! I've use Making Merories's Addie diecut scallop as the background, they've blended in nicely.
I've glossy "accented" the cherries and some of the Prima petals. Rock "Candied" the bracket and added crystal bling blings.

Hope you'll like it.

SPOOKY Butterfly

It's your maiden attendance to a Halloween cum Birthday party on 31 October 2009. I bought this top from Bossini and painted your face for you. I've showed you some face painting pictures and you've chosen the butterfly, your wish granted.

Knowing that you'll be attending such a party, I bought some Halloween theme paper and embellishments from LP and Joann to scrap this event.

Intially, I've wanted to use the title "Hallo-fly", a "combination" of Halloween and Butterfly, I felt that I didn't get the right mix, therefore, changed to Spooky Butterfly.


Simply LOVE this 4x4 butterfly double-dies from Quickutz and put it to good use. Here, I mimicked your face painting and glad that they do look alike!!!


I've used Hambly's Halloween rub-on to show the skeleton climbing upwards.

NAUGHTY naughty DOG

Created this layout to document how you were punished for urinating on the floor. Kid has naughty corner, you've naughty dustbin!!! You were barely 5 months old then. You are 7 years old now, time flies.

I got this SEI - Simple Sets range of paper during Memoiract open-house clearance sale late last year. Wanted this range of paper for MAN or BOY theme layout or project. Came in handy for this layout.

The title were given some effect by splashing some crackle paint - Picket Fence and Clear Rock Candy.

I enjoy creating layout for you, you are just so photogenic!!! Here is 1 I did sometime ago - NEW AGE CARPET

My Furry Friends

I completed this in Mar 2010 but didn't get around to load it up.
These pictures were taken in Aug 2009, you were playing with our 2 furry friends. After much running and hopping around, you all were tired and all sat down to take a breather. I've used We R Memory Keepers White Out range of paper for this layout. This set of paper have been with me for soooooo soooooo long.

I've misted the page using Heidi Swappe 2 mini masks and dotted the Richard Marks dome crystal in the center to complete the daisy look.
