The folks really enjoy going to events with me because they get to dress up and go to town.
Last weekend, we went to 2 back-to-back events then met up with my sister for dinner.
Dad could indulge in his fave fish and chips....and we all had sticky date pudding for dessert. :)
Happy Tuesday friends!
So we went to Batam, an Indonesian island about 90 minutes away by ferry, for a quick getaway during a three-day weekend back in March.
And I finally printed out the photos and worked on the layouts. *winks*
It was a short vacation but a much-needed getaway.
This year we had a simple celebration for Papa Yam's birthday. Home-cooked lunch and a store-bought cake.
He really likes this mango cake...can you tell from his face? *LOL*
Then we went out for Thai food for dinner. :)
Not quite sure about this layout. Had this patterned paper for a while and was never really inspired to use it. I tried repeating some elements like the sticker and the washi tape and the brads to provide a little cohesiveness across the photos.
I love that it is quite different from my usual style but I still managed to incorporate fun elements. :)
Happy week ahead friends!
Haven't scrapbooked my homecooking recently...so here is Wednesday's lunch!
Keeping things simple for 3 people..just 2 dishes.
Pan-roasted chicken breast...
Stir-fried veggies...yep, we eat a rainbow of veggies!
Happy weekend friends!:)
So I finally printed out these photos from May 2022's gathering and got them documented on a scrapbook page.*triumphant music plays in the background*
I love how mum and her sister + cousins are just giggling away at an inside job oblivious to my camera clicking away. *winks*
Now that I am printing larger photos, it is a tad more challenging to fit them on a single 12x12 page. Since I really want to focus on my mum and aunties' faces, I just overlapped the photos so that I have more space to embellish. :)
This year's birthday was just a simple one...as my uncle passed away the day before and it seemed inappropriate to even celebrate.
The bestie sent me a cake so we took some photos at home before going out for a quick lunch. My sister also treated me to my first (and currently, only) movie of the year Kungfu Panda.
Anyway, this was one of the fastest layouts ever. The birthday collage piece was taken directly from happy birthday mail packaging and added to the layout as the main decorative element. *LOL*
In case you were wondering, it was a salted caramel cheesecake.:)
Yes, the folks love ice-cream...see their faces light up with an ice-cream cone in hand? *winks*
And yes, I'm using 4R photos because I got a new photo printer - the Canon Selphy Cp1500! *happy music plays in the background*
I still love my Canon Selphy Square QX10 printer but the media is getting really pricey (about S$1 per photo sticker) and the square format is a little limiting as well. Well, now I have 2 options to play with. :)
Anyway, I brought mum to 2 Sephora events on consecutive days and dad tagged along. Because they both got treats like ice-cream!
The photos already take up lots of space so I added some fun bits on the top and bottom.
Hope your week's going well.:)
Almost forgot about this double-page CNY spread.... (apologies for the photo...the weather has been rainy and gloomy and dark).
Big thanks to my cousin's husband Tim for the photos. I was busy in the kitchen so he sent me the pictures he took so I could get them scrapbooked. :)
As always, the kids (nephews and niece) stole the show with their cute faces and smiles.
Very happy to have incorporated my CNY decor in my layout. :)
Happy weekend friends!
Yes friends, the CNY 2024 decorations are down and ready to use on layouts! Here is Layout #1. :)
Kept everything relatively simple since the CNY decor is so colourful and glittery. *winks*
Just some washi tape, twine and paper clip for a little interest at the right corner.
And a journaling banner...
Those dragon heads are so cute, right? *winks*
