De-railed

Did not realised that this layout had been sitting in my album and not uploaded for some time.  I spent one weekend misting and playing with the masks effects when I received my purchases from Vpost, and did this masking.  I super ♥ giant blooms so I also plugged in the large prima blooms, recycled its beautiful green packaging and layered the elementgs togeher for a Railway layout.  This was taken at the railway tracks on of those weekends before it was closed down and the rails removed.

The girls were still very small so we had only completed half track when they said they were tired.  The paths were strewn with large heavy stones that didn't make for easy walking on tiny feet.

Look at the luscious purple blooms...

Fly

Such a drowsy browsy Sunday!  Probably partially due to the fact that I was mulling over a layout till quite late last night. 

Today's sun is gloriously hot, bright and one of those "I wish I was dipping in the sea" type of day, or better yet with a large pina colada and by the pool side wearing a large floopy hat.
I was working on a challenge from Moments Recorded, set by June on the simple theme of Wings. Me being me, I left it to the really last weekend to get it up as the deadline is 10th March.  I pulled out my favourite photo and here is my bright sunny happy take.  Childhood is so full of promises and I couldn't help but tie it together with God's promises in rainbows.

Inspired by all those drippy gooey crayon art on Pinterest, I thought I'd do my own non melt art version and here's my take on it.

My cam  is still down so this was taken by my iphone 4 (no S).  I brought my Canon to repair and was very sad when Canon told me it'd cost $400 odd to have it repaired and that it was kind of a goner...  looks like I need to buy a new cam.

Any suggestions?

Made by love

I always wanted to do "just one more" for the two girls. When I saw how this photo turn out, I could not help but feel that they were made by love. Of course, love that the papa mama had for each other. And with that love, we produced them.

With this layout, I was inspired the moment I saw the Kaisercraft Le Chateau papers. It was also no coincidence that I fell in love with the stamps and felt that there were so much possibilties in the birdcage and chandeliers (though one sang of day, the other made you think of nightfall). I did stamping, misting, layering and basically made it all my own.

See the Sea Shells by the Sea Shore

Today I really felt like going for a long holiday. Maybe because I had been looking at my ever evolving list of To-do at work, so images of the sea/ shade of ruffling palms, and the smell of salt drifted into mind. Need not be too far away but just some quiet time with the girls at the sea would be good.

So I dug out this layout I did a couple of months back that I nearly threw away when I thought it was too complicated.

Well, I am glad I did not. Or rather, glad that June asked me not to.

Misting, stamping with the mask, sewing, paper tearing, staining, ruffling; I think I tried it all on this layout.

I did machine stitching on the alphas so they would stay down. I also corner punched the E so it would be rounded like the rest of the layout. Torn paper strip below the flags to perk it up, like it was flying and fluttering, and to give it a rough flagpole look.
