Here’s my latest layout! Love these pics of my friend’s baby… I couldn’t believe she didn’t even try to take off the sunglasses! She loved them =)

Resistance is Futile!
2010
Resistance is Futile! That pretty much sums up me getting an iPhone! It was inevitable and I basically caved in a few weeks ago!
Here is the layout I did for my jump into the world of the iPhone!

My Art
2010
I love my art. There are no two ways about it – I love it! And when I say “My Art” I’m not talking about the things I personally paint – don’t think I would actually consider that art… yet! But I’m talking about the art I have chosen to hang on my walls – one in my hallway as you walk in the front door and one in the living room above my couch. The colours of the paintings work, the design is just me, and they are HUGE!
I had an idea of what I wanted (while I left my walls bare for a year!). I had originally decided to do it myself, but just never got around to it. My dad went to China (I live in Hong Kong) and while he was there he saw a few paintings that he liked and thought one of us kids would like for our homes. When he got back to HK I didn’t think anything he had chosen would be close to what I had in mind – but unbelievably they were EXACTLY what I wanted! Colours, style, size – everything!
Now I know they are not everyone’s taste, but they are just perfect for me and I can’t get over how perfect they are and how my dad bought them for me sight unseen.
So, as every scrapbooker does (or should do =) – we scrapbook the things we love – and I love my art! So here’s my layout on my living room painting. Love it! (did I mention that yet *lol*).

Excruciating!
2010
My bf got his driving license last year (not uncommon to get your driving license in your late 20s/30s in Hong Kong), but only bought a car a few weeks ago. He is now driving a lot more, and expecting me to drive with him! Oh for the love of money is it excruciating! He thinks he’s a wonderful driver and I think he’s risking lives by being on the rode! You can image how stress-free driving with him can be!
Last week he asked why I hadn’t done any layouts of his new car (obviously I have my priorities in all the wrong places!) =) So, I said I would and thus was born the “Driving with Chi is… excruciating!” – not exactly the layout he had been hoping for *lol*.
The photo was taken on the way to Disneyland over one of the bridges we have in Hong Kong. I’m in the backseat and a friend is in the front seat. I’m so lucky to live 20 minutes away from Disneyland as I’m taking a few photography classes and it’s the perfect place for getting all different kinds of photos! I’ll try to post some soon.
And here is the layout!

Tiger Layouts
2010
I truly love white tigers and loved having the opportunity to photograph them in Singapore last month. I will have to post some more of my photos, but here are two layouts I made. I love the first one, but don’t like the second one as much.

Bedtime
2010
I loved this photoshoot with a friend of mine’s daughter! But by the end she had this look on her face that basically said, “I’ve had enough!!!”. So cute!

Laughter
2010
I have never really enjoyed using templates – they always looked a little too childish for me. Since taking Cathy Zielske’s class, I have fallen in love with them and realize that you have to use great templates! Some templates are not very good quality and the result will not be very good unless you put some serious effort into making them look good. But if you start with a great template, you’ll find it much easier to get a good result!
Here is a layout I made with a template from Katie Pertiet. I love it!
Credits: I used a kit from Sir Scrapalot to ‘fill in’ the template. I think it was something about a ‘Cup of Tea’ kit? If you’re interested, drop me an email and I’ll find out the exact name. Love it!
Enjoy!

No Title… seriously! =)
2010
I love having titles on my pages – but several of my pages this month have been lacking this one important detail – but then again, I think it works! Sometimes the photos are all that are needed – I like to add a date, but there’s something in the simplicity of the photos that leaves me skipping the title! I probably won’t make it a habit, but it’s nice to skip now and then!
Here’s one of my title-less layouts! It’s using another kit from the fabulous Captivated Visions designer, Rachel! It’s called ‘Very Cherry’ and it’s lots of fun!
Here it is!
Enjoy!

Laugh – Giggle – Smile – TERROR!
2010
Loved the photos I took of Melinda’s daughter in my dad’s office last Sunday, shortly before going to the garden to take more photos of her! For the first time in my life, I have a photo of my dad smiling naturally!

Beautiful!
2010
I love this layout! Infact, I’ve been holiding onto the photo for 2-3 years and have only now gotten around the scrapbooking it! I like how it came out! I used the latest kit from Captivated Visions – it’s a mega grab bag for Project 365! Wonderful stuff!
Thanks for looking!
