I'm really trying...but this eye took a week to complete! Hope you had more creative than me! :)
Happy weekend friends!

Happy weekend friends!
Beijing has really beautiful ancient architecture. Like the Temple of Heaven.
The place is huge (270 acres) and so many people dress up in period costumes to take photos.
The usual mish mash of packaging and scrap bits. :)
Really wanted to play with my neglected art supplies...and also do something fun. So back to the birdie playbook! *winks*
Played with acrylic paints, acrylic markers, water-soluble pencils and coloured pencils. :)
Really happy to include travel ephemera in my gratitude journal to document my journey. These days I find myself more into appreciating life as it happens than always taking my phone out to take photos.
I usually take a hotel address card with me so I can arrange for deliveries to my hotel and instead of recycling the card, I just incorporated it in my gratitude journal...
We arrived at our hotel in Beijing in the wee hours of the morning and first stop after a night's rest was Yuan Ming Yuan - the old Summer Palace. Huge place to explore...ruins mostly and a lot of greenery. The thing about visiting China is that there is no getting away from walking because everything is large-scale *LOL*. And also no getting away from the local tourists.
Tried my best to not include other people in my photos...*winks*
Just the usual mist mash of scraps and packaging bits.
Got a bunch of happy stuff last November...tried to be strategic with the photo....and also included cut-out packaging bits. :)
Finally strong-armed myself to drawing an eye over the weekend. *LOL*
Even took out an old watercolour palette to play....:)
Not every page in your gratitude journal needs to be perfectly decorated...I really wanted to include the clothing tags from the two long-sleeved dresses I bought from Muji...and the only space left to decorate was the connecting page. So I added some girl stickers that kind of reflected my current dressing style. And I call it done! *LOL*
Happy weekend friends!
We went on a family vacation last month and I strong-armed myself to start scrapbooking immediately (since I haven't even got started on last year's vacation...*oops*)
Having lots of fun with my printer options. And using lots of packaging materials as always.
Look at this cute travel frame!
I even got the stickles out to play (still trying to finish up what I have and not buy any more).:)
I really wanted a cabin luggage with the front pocket opening for easy access to my laptop when I travel. It was on 50% off so mum bought her two daughters each a cabin luggage. Yay! Thanks mum!
Can you guess which one is mine? *winks*
We recently celebrated Papa Yam's birthday. He picked out his own cake so he looked really pleased...*LOL*
Yep...I even took out my glass cake stand and all. *winks*
The usual mist mash of packaging materials as tabs and fussy cut elements on the page. :)
The other day I brought the folks out for steak.
Mum was very happy...dad was slightly annoyed that photos had to be taken before he could eat...*LOL*
Having fun with the new "frames" on the CP1500 printer....
Especially the food one with the cutlery and checked tablecloth...super fun! :)
Happy weekend friends!
Love that the makeup boxes came with the actual product photos....which were perfect for documentation in the gratitude journal. Also, I wasn't constrained by the square photo so I could play a little more with the layout of the page.:)
Meet my new travel buddies (Miffy x Singapore Airlines)! The luggage tag and the reusable bag were gifts from my sister (from the first release)...I bought the 6 piece packing cubes to complete the set. :)
