Silhouette Cameo

I'm quite sold on this product.

It no only cuts any designs that you print but it also writes. Seriously, my journaling will look so much better from now on.

I'm pretty tied up with work,so I really can't scrap. I've been working on PL as and whenever there is a bit of time, printing and slotting in photos.

but be sure, I will be buying the Cameo before the year runs out. :)

printer woe

My new inkjet printer Epson L355 is causing me some woe.
for some strange reason, it starts to misalign in the last 15mm of print, just after it rolls off the printer roller and is on the ink-bed, printing the last 15mm. I get a whole rainbow of colours. 
Causing me much much grief.

I hope that it is still under warranty cause I did not send out my registration card. :( who would know that it would fail in under 3 months? in fact, in under 2 months? omg.

and just when I will have a whole weekend to myself to be doing more of Project life: Kids

I sure do hope I get it resolved within the week.

in the meanwhile, I will finish up whatever I need to do with my current stash of photos.

Honestly, Project Life is really cool :)

having the right paper

my SIL gave me a stack of paper DCWV Oncea upon a time stack for my Christmas present. I didn't open it til today and it is a lovely stack of paper.

Immediately, I fell in love with it and found my inspiration to complete this 12x12, in under an hour.

yes, I starting on my Project Life kids for my kids. I've decided to work backwards. Since I have already some of their concert 2013 photos on hand, I am starting with this.

Simple, not much layering but I used EK 3D stickers to create the 3D effect.

Simple and pretty. :-)

very addictive

Last night I slept at 1am doing Project Life - NZ. wow.

And today, I've went through my stash of scraps and cut out 3x4" and 6x4" of PL cards, ready for use.

Addictive, Obsessive. Proceed with caution

Project Life is starting!

I first saw Project Life about a year ago and I thought, it looks too complicated. I just started scrapping and I wasn't sure if I was ready to spend so much money on albums and sleeves (what sleeves?!). after a year, I begin to see the relevance of Project Life. 

 Scrapping for me was more than having a 12x12, with pictures inside, beautifully embellished. As I continued to scrapped, I realized what I wanted was to document my life and a 'snapshot' of 12x12 just didn't mean that need. 

First, i ain't so creative to be able to layer lotsa paper & lace to beautifully iconize a moment in my life. If I were to do that, I would have many many 12x12, to many to do. too poor to do that too. 2nd, i like mini albums. and mini albums have a use to categorize events. so, to expand that "mini album", 

I've decided to embark on "Project Life". I will be running a few albums con-currently as i have a 'backlog' One would be to document my kids' school-going years. 2nd would be my holidays. 

To kick start this ambitious project, I've ordered my albums from Amazon using their AmazonGlobalSaver. I have easily saved 40-50% off the albums & sleeves buying from the local scrapbooking store (LSS). :) wonderful! :) 

 I will try to add more pictures as I go along :)
