Scrap my heart out.....3

(p/s...the giveaway is still open...here...)

...with Studio Calico March Kit...In the Woods...this month, I purchased an add-on kit (because I just can't resist the stamp)...

Well, with the add-on...I'm able to make 13 layouts plus 2 mini album pages...

Wow....that's a lot of pages to share...so I shall stop writing now...

When I saw this layout (the last layout) from Studio Calico Design Team, Jen Jockisch, I went ooh...ahh....that's how to use the big pockets....so I scrap lift her layout..instead of patterned papers and tags...I slot in all the travel "documents"..and I love it...everything from the kit...

Then came another idea from Amelia Khalik from Scrappin Studio...here...I took the sketch and made my version....it houses the journalling (long story) for this layout..a non photo layout..wait those tickets are the photos....long story short...thanks to Grace's "kepoh" (busybody) hands....I have these to scrap....everything from the kit except for the white paper clip

In April, I joined an online class..Sketchbook 3 by Kelly Purkey..and this is sketch 1. The title says it all....Amos is Grace's cousin brother and he is 1 year 3 months younger than Grace..I added a few phrases stickers from Little Yellow Bicycle

This sketch 2 from the Sketchbook 3 class....Grace just posing around at "special odd" places during our trip to Hong Kong....added some stitching...

These photos were taken in sequence as shown...really funny expression by the little one....sketch 3 from the same online class...and still today, there's no way I can trick her to take her porridge...

Did some lousy stamping here..(but who says everything has to be perfect?)..that's the stamp that I can't resist...Grace and Elise playing on our very big bed..while mummy trying out her Lomo Lomo iPhone apps....added the colourful banner from Cosmo Cricket and the phrases stickers from Little Yellow Bicycle

Just to document down the wonderful hotel that we stayed in while in Kowloon..it has a see through glass wall for the toilet...of course if you need privacy, just lower down the blinds...the see through glass wall was really useful to us...Grace can have her bath tub fun while we can relax on the bed....and still be sure she's ok...added the red photo corner chipboard shape from Scenic Route..Grace helped colour the stars with Dimensional Pearls

Sketch 5 from the online class....and that's the Panda posing for Grace but showed us the back when Moses steps into position...

Also sketch 4 from Sketchbook 3....added the phrases stickers from Little Yellow Bicycle and the die cut shapes from Pink Paislee..nice tea cups @ Winter Warmers

Our cable car ride @ Ocean Park Hong Kong....a ride that Grace couldn't wait...

Dedicated to our fabulous Daddy....the journalling was printed on Studio Calico stamp packaging....added the phrase sticker from Little Yellow Bicycle

A story on Grace's art class on every Friday...played with the alphabets here (cause I've run out of so many alphabets)...added phrase stickers from Little Yellow Bicycle and yes...that's Grace's colouring work...and I was a little carried away while adhering the circles...that's why the uphill...

Grace's school excursion to the Fire Department...she was overjoyed....sketch 6 from Sketchbook 3....added the journalling tags from Jillibean Soup...and I seldom use stickles....

Phew...that's a whole lot of photos and explaination....hope you enjoy it....
