Bon jour!! It's been a long time since my last update, guess I've missed lots of fun here. How's life going? I have experienced the sweet and bitter of life while I'm away. There's some adjustment on my current job that allow me to improve both of my hard and soft skills. It was tough, perhaps it builds me to a stronger person at the same time. C'est la vie :)

Well, today i spent a couple hours on making a "bird-day" card which inspired by my all-time fav blog RetroSketches#73. Hope you enjoy reading my blog and have a nice week ahead !! I shall spend more time in card making in the future, see you soon :)

Lazy Hazy Sunday

2012-06-24T13:20:00.002+08:00

Heavy haze over my country has caused me to have runny nose and dry throat. I felt uncomfortable after spending couple hours outside. Hopefully, it will rain soon to wash away the smoky haze. Ahem, wake up in the morning, I decided to stay at home and clean up my scrapping tools and patterned papers. They are in a mess and have been storing in the drawers for months. Seeing all those paper scraps remind me how long it has been since I start to make my first card, layout, album and etc. I have forgot how many cards I have made so far, and today I used the similar element (the pigeon) that I applied in the first card I made for a blog challenge. It still looks good on any design huh?! Hmm.. hope you like the card I made today, which inspired by Retro Sketches #17, and have a nice day.

Hello folks! It's been weeks since my last post. How's life? Life's getting busy. I feel really tired after work and feel like just wanna spending time catch up the TLC's cake boss marathon on the couch during the weekends. Hmm.. I think most of the working adult feel the same way as me, but I do hope to be motivated to make card again... Looking at all those beautiful and adorable materials, I start feeling guilty for not scrapbooking these days. Anyway, I'll try to be more productive soon. **Wink** On the other side, I was thrilled when I received this parcel from Amy!! She sent me these very cute photo frame, alphabet stickers, rubber stamp and her cute little handmade card. She's so lovely, isn't she?! Once again, thanks Amy :D Feel free to check out Amy's blog at Tsurata Designs. Lastly, thanks for dropping by and leaving all those beautiful comments. Have a great weekends!!
