Review : Hong Kong 2013

This city never fails to warm my heart, each time I visit it. No doubt, it is my favourite place in the world. Maybe it is hard to believe and some say it is pretty much the same as Singapore but nothing beats the culture, the vibrancy, the food, the shopping and the people.

This time around, it was the second trip with my colleagues. A little different than the first - laughters, enjoyment, tears and above all, friendship. I am glad I saw different sides of my friends, I am glad we worked out our differences and I have come to know them better.

A trip is how you define it. I am glad we made it through, stronger than ever.

 

Oh ! And did i mention? I came back as a rebel. Got some cool hair extensions and I am planning to keep it until school reopens. Haha. How do you find the new look? 

Have a great week ahead. 

Video of the Month (November)

Hello everyone! I am back and starting with a new series for this blog. As some of you know, I have started venturing into the world of video editing. It has been tough work, working on camera angles and editing the videos thereafter. It is a work in progress and all of this hard work only means one thing. I do want to show you more than what I normally do and hopefully with videos, it gives you a better idea on my scrapbook process.

So starting from November, I would be bringing you one video per month, on a project that I am working on. Do let me know your honest feedback and if there are good tips for me to improve on, I would love to hear about it too.

It is not perfect, as you can see. But I certainly hope it inspires you today to start being creative and scrapbook away. :D

I will be back with a little bonus video this week. Enjoy for now.
Happy Sunday.

MWL Nov DT Assignment

It is that time of the month again. The Made with Love DTs got their kits a few weeks back and have been busy preparing our assignment. I hope you love what you see! I picked out a really tough kit as I really wanted to challenge myself to work on colors that I usually avoid. I tried to work around with what I had and stayed positive in how I approach the collection. 

First up, I did a set of travel tags that I thought would be nice as bookmarks for my travel journal. The wildflower collection by Carta Bella has such lovely travel themed elements like cameras and arrows. 

Up next, I made a layout and the inspiration behind the colors came from the photo. I simply adore this cute photo of K and B. The colors of their dresses match perfectly to this collection. Lots of layering, sprinkles of sequins and ink splatters and mixture of wood elements. See that cute butterfly? That's from a Bo Bunny collection.

A good tip in working with bold colours in a collection would be to balance them with a neutral background like black or white. They do make those bold colours pop more, dont you think?

Be sure to hop by these talented DTs' blogs for more inspiration this month:

All is good

Hey all, back with another quick post. Life has been good thus far. Not much has changed since the last post but I am pretty much preparing to wind down and enjoy the rest of the year. I cant wait, only 2 more weeks before flying off to HK. Can time come any faster? I have been trying to scrap more but somehow, catchin up on television dramas have taken priority.

In any case, I will be back shortly with my FIRST ever VIDEO on a scrapbook layout. Do anticipate it, wont you? It is not perfect but I am certainly going to work over it this holiday.

Sharing some layouts I have done, that I've yet to post it here...

Have a great week ahead! :D
