S'mores

This photo was taken a long time ago, like two years?  Even the stickers on the page was bought a long time ago in preparation to make this page.  However, I'm lazy to print photos from my phone, I just never got to it.  Now with a nice new printer at home, this photo is ready for print.
I love s'mores, but I don't camp.  I'm so happy that my two good innovative friends came up with this so that I could enjoy s'mores without camping outside!  Yum!

Wow!

It's been almost than a year since I last posted.  Have I stopped creating?  Of course not, but I haven't been creating as much as I would like.  Work has been crazy since I returned after Xmas holidays.  My brain was exhausted with specifications, site work, drawings, engineering stuff.  Although scrapping helps escaping it all, but I was lacking the brain juice to create.  And when I finally created something, I got too lazy to post it here.  When work finally slowed down a bit, and creative brain juice replenished a bit, I found out I was pregnant!  My first trimester consisted me camping outside my bathroom and lethargic on the couch.  I could barely hold down water, forget about scrapping.  It was horrible.  I would not wish it on my worse enemy.  Now that's all over, the baby is cuddling warmly in my tummy, and my workload has lessened it's time to start again.  To start, here are some recent pages I made in the last few weeks.  I'll try to find post the other few pages I made this year... maybe.

Floating in the Dead Sea
Our last stop during our big vacation last year, the Dead Sea.  Since I was the camera person, I couldn't take shots of me floating in the water or covered in mud.  Therefore, this page only consisted of B.


Paper: My Mind's Eye, Simple Stories
Tools/Techniques: Cricut B is for Boy
Embellishments: Sticker, Cut out

Little Venice
This little strip of buildings on the island of Mykonos is built near the waters, just like Venice.  I was lucky to capture this shot when the sun was setting.  So pretty.


Paper: Pink Paislee
Embellishments: Sticker, Die cuts

Delos
We took a daytrip to Delos, an island covered by ruins not too far from Mykonos.  If I was a history fanatic, yeah, I would like it but I'm not.  However, I am a scrapbooker - the more places = more photos = scrapbook potential!

New Year Creations

With another week off, I got more scrapbook layouts done.  Also helps when mom came to "visit", and I did not have to worry about cooking and washing dishes.  So I had all the time in the world to scrap (and watch earlier seasons of Supernatural on Netflix).

Hawaii Wedding
The main reason we went to Hawaii last year (2012) was to get married!  I love Hawaii.  It's seriously my favourite place on Earth.  It's a place I can visit again and again.  Just love it, and therefore, it's a perfect setting for our wedding.


Paper: BoBunny, Core'dination
Embellishments: Stickers, vellum love quote, memo card (Elle's Studio)

Marukame Udon
Although it was on my list of restaurants to try in Waikiki, B got to it first and fell in love.  He's not a big fan of cities in paradise, but he sure is a big fan of this place.  Near the end of our short stay in Waikiki, I finally made it there and of course, he had no complaints going there again.  It was good, but I didn't fall in love with it as much as him.  The reason to go back to Waikiki for him is this udon shop.

Traveler
During my holiday, I got a chance to go through and develop my newest vacation photos and getting all gung-ho to start another new scrapbook (yes, I'm crazy!).  So to start things off with this scrapbook, let's start with page 1, the title page!


Paper: Bazzill Basics Paper, Core'dination
Tools/Techniques: Prismacolor pencil crayons, distressing/ink
Embellishments: Sticker (title "Traveler" by Jolee's Boutique), stamps, vellum quote

Puppy Portraits
A long time ago, I took these photos with a borrowed dslr camera.  This holiday, I finally got a chance to scrap these photos.  I actually could have finished this when I was at my parents' but I don't know how I managed to lose one of the photos.  The good news is that I bought a new printer that could print out awesome (backup) photos!  And so to test it out, I reprint the photo I lost/misplaced.
