No No No!

These photos were taken during the mid autumn fest when BbC could toddle but cousin Joshua hadn't learn how to walk steadily yet.  He liked to give BbC random hugs and being the ever obedient boy, listened to his mama when she said, go give big sis a kiss.

Needless to say, small toddlers immensely dislike being squashed like a tomato so she would always yell loudly,  "No!No!No!!!!"  

My talented sis in law caught these on cam and I had to make it into a layout!  Did not get inspired until I saw these MME papers I had stashed somewhere and immediately set to work.  The layout is really simple but I think it speaks for itself.   I love how that coordinating trim edge from MmE just fits nicely flipped.

Materials : Sassafras  Lass paper, Vellum paper; Fiskar stamp edge punch; Bazill white cardstock; Michael's ribbon trim; My Little Shoebox chipboard alphas, Cosmo Cricket chipboard alphas. 

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?


Materials : Papers - K&Co, Sassafras; Embellishments - Basic Grey, Girls' Paperie; Alphas - Thickers.
