Reviving the Scrappin Mojo

ok, it's been 3 years since i last touched designer papers and embellishments. Now that I am already based in Singapore, the land where Made with Love and The Paper Market branches stand, i decided to enroll myself in one of the basic classes. yes, basic, becuase I realized I havent had any formal learning and I want to understand what scrapbooking (aka the industry) is all about. I attended the "Just Getting Started" class last July 4, led by the famous Aida Haron . There I learned about the basic tools, the must-haves and nice-to-haves, the different elements, and most of all, the importance of identifying one's style.

Given limited materials and time, I came up with a simple and decent layout, and an unfinished accordion book about our family trip to Universal Studios (Singapore). Hope this continues on becuase I realized scrapbooking is one of those things I really really really love doing.

Happy Holidays!

Funny, my last scrap project was our 2008 family xmas card... :)

Toddler School

In preparation for nursery/kinder1, we enrolled our 3-year old Bianca to "Fun with Phonics" summer class at Ingenium Learning Resources. After 3 weeks, we really noticed a big improvement in her social skills and speech. She also seems to be gearing towards music, which is pretty exciting. :)

Here are a few digital layouts showing school highlights. :)
