Sticky as Glue

Wow... it has been sooo long since I last post. Well, I finally am back. 
It had been super duper busy at work. We always had plenty to do nearer the end of the year, which is really an irony. Not much time to do anything else after I get back from work. Between trying to spend more time with the gals and the hubby, the time left for anything else is minimum. I am glad I still find some me time in the wee hours to scrap. Well, I have scrapped quite a few LO during the Sept break, but have yet found the time to post it. 
Anyway, want to share a LO which I did sometime back. 




I love these 2 photos of meimei. Haha... one of which is her sulky look and the other is such a sweet smile on her face. Ever since she turned 15months, she had been very very sticky to me (I mean, reallllly sticky) especially at nites or when she is extremely tired. She does not allow anyone to touch or carry her. Nope, her daddy would not do too. So I would practically have to run in whenever she starts crying... and mind you, her cries are deafening. And because of all the running in and out of the room several times at nite, my scrappy momentum had suffered badly. :( 
I like this LO that I created. I had recently seen a few scrappers using twine and some other threads stuff in their LO with really stunning effects, so I thought, why not I tried that too. Hmm... I kinda like the effect that I created using the twine. I guess I am hooked, would be using this layering method more in my future LO. 
A lot have been going on in my mind recently. Need time to consolidate my thinking and reflect and see what I should do in the future. Of course, if I am allowed to choose freely, staying at home and able to scrap full time would really be ideal. But that would not be possible at this moment. I guess I would need to strike a balance in what I need to do and want to do at the present moment.

Love you to the Moon and Back

(some close up of the LO)
(Love you to the Moon and Back - using mainly SC June Kit - Papermoon)
Have wanted to use this title to scrap a LO for the Longggggest time,but never seems to find the right photo. Well, with 2 kids under 5 and only 2 of us, it is difficult to get a good pic with me and both gals in. In fact, we have yet to shoot a reasonable clear family photo (besides the one at SAM)
Loves this photo taken at Festive hotel at Sentosa during the June break. Loves the somewhat funny look on mei mei and Atria's "one finger on the head" pose. She likes to post like this these days :). And myself who is trying to grab the gals and get them to take a shot with me before they run off ... The hubby was trying so hard to get the shot too, without taking my ugly feet in the shot too... hahaha...
Anyway, in this LO, I tried to use circles, which I am not very comfortable with. Well, I don't own a circle cutter and cannot cut straight. But I thought, I will just go with the flow and see how it will go. I also tried some layering using some scrap paper and manjong paper. I love the popping effect from the multiple layering :) Seems like I will go for this sort of layering more often. I like to think that this LO does not require to think for a long time. I just layer the paper as I feel like it. Not like in the past, I will spend a looooong time deciding on just a piece of paper to use . Hopefully I can scrap faster now since time is really a rare commodity for me. Well, I kinda like how the LO turn out, but I do hope to have more layering though.
