Passport to cross over

Last December, we wanted to bring BbC and Ms E to Malaysia for just a day trip to walk, browse and shop a little.  Of course, we thought that since it was about a half hour drive we just needed to get our directions, pack the bags and go.  When we arrived at the customs, we realised that 1) Ms E passport expired 6 months ago! and 2) we needed to bring Sofia's work permit if we were to bring her out of Singapore on trips.  Well, so we had to U turn and go back to make a new passport for Ms E.  That same afternoon, I snapped a few photos to submit for passport online (so efficient, yes?)

Anyhow, because it was her first passport that expired and had her cute little 1 month old baby photo, I couldn't bear to just toss it into the bin.  So guess what? It made its way into a layout :) yeap!

This is a different style from my usual layouts, and I wnated to include some portions of the actual passport into the layout.  Can you see where are the elements from the passport?

Mini for Mummy

It's been a long time since my last post as I had been busy and couldn't find time to take photo when it was not raining. Finally I managed to catch some golden sun today after so many days of afternoon rain, so I quickly had this mini album photographed and tonight I get some moments to blog about it.

I had been altering things and making scrap stuff here and there for people and thought I should make something for my mom. So I set about choosing photos (the hardest part as there are so many!) and defining the moments before putting them into this little album. There are never enough pages for books like this, I'd say!

Here are the pictures.  I love this album because, again, it has lots of experimental stuff that I tried and I find that it is like an archive of both memories and progress.  Ms E loves the book because she would take the book and flip almost every night.

I won't show all the pages, but here are some that I would like to show.
