My Layouts This Week

It has been an interesting week. I had a lovely meal in Mong Kok (Hong Kong) – all-you-can-eat hot pot and sushi. Yum! Anyway, onto my layouts!

Layout Friday

Can’t believe it’s Friday again! I’ve had a great week this week, although I’ve been busy. Work, work and more work! Thankfully I love my job so it doesn’t feel like work… even when I’m at work after 8pm!

.

Ok, enough chatter, onto the layouts I made this week. Enjoy!

Funky Layout Friday!

Here are my latest layouts! I’m a guest on Dunia Designs Creative Team for November and December so I get to play with some extra goodies =)

My first layout is using a fab Christmas kit by Captivated Visions called ‘Jolly Holiday’ and featuring my all-time favourite drink, the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte. Yummy!

Next is my first layout using Dunia’s collab kit, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and I made the layout without a photo and didn’t even realize it until I had finished! Fun!

Questions Layout

.

That’s pretty much it for this week. I’ve been travelling around France and the UK for 3 weeks with 120 of my students from Hong Kong, so scrapbooking has been somewhat left unattended to =) I’m back home in Hong Kong now and SERIOUSLY jet-lagged, so hopefully in a few days I’ll be back on my feet.

Enjoy!

Resistance is Futile!

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!

Stay tuned for app reviews specifically geared towards scrapbookers!

My Art

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*).

Bedtime

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!

No Title… seriously! =)

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!

Windy Guernsey

It was a windy summer day in Guernsey and so we went to the Cobo Tearooms for lunch. Can’t remember what it was that we ate, but quite possibly Guernsey Bean Jar and crab sandwiches with a pot of tea and maybe… hmm… coronation sandwiches for auntie sue?

Anyway, just a quick layout to remember a fun day!

Trinity

Here’s the first photo taken of Melinda’s daughter and me! I did this layout using a beautiful new kit from Captivated Visions called “Sweet as Mallow”. I have to say the papers from the kit are irresistible! (but then so are the elements and alpha!).

I couldn’t decide whether I liked the brown background or the pink background more!

Brown Background

You are so sweet!

Pink Background

You are so sweet! (in pink!)


Enjoy!
