The Big Picture and Clean & Simple Idea Books

The Big Picture and Clean & Simple Idea Books

My online friend Glo in the US gave me these 2 ideas books: Clean and Simple by Cathy Zielske and The Big Picture by Stacy Julian few months back and I can that these books are worth reading because you'll get lots of ideas for your scrapping (digi- or the traditional way).

Though I have not read all the articles and the tips that the authors have shared, I know that anyone who'll ever get to hold on to these books will enjoy and can apply what they have learned on the book. I particularly like Cathy Zeilske's scrapping style and the way she writes the journaling.

Just in case you are idle at the moment bec. of stopped employment or maybe a sahm, why not try scrapbooking whether it be digital or paper. You'll find it therapeutic, relaxing, and enjoyable to scrap all your photos and turn them into wonderful memories.

Clean and Simple by Cathy Zielske - available at Amazon for $13.57 (orig. price $19.99)
The Big Picture by Stacy Julian - available at Amazon for $13.57 (orig. price $19.95)

Happy Scrapping!

Here's a review of the camera, I was wowed:

Eventhough I wanted to upgrade my Canon 400d to a much latest model from Canon, I'm still can't afford to do so because mine is still working great despite the fact that it has a dust on the lens :(. I also just bought a Canon 18-200mm lens last year and buying new DSLR is not in my priority right now. How'd I wish it's only as cheap as refurbished laptops. Oh well, Christmas is coming so I have different priorities, maybe in the future I can upgrade.

Christmas is really coming and there's no stopping it. It's a perfect time to enjoy, relax and be with our loved ones. Perfect to shop, eat like a pig? hehe and dieting is not allowable because for sure loads of foods will be serve. Set aside your best appetite suppressant for a while and enjoy.

FREEBIE: Christmas Template by Jacinda

Sorry for the slow updates here because I'm just too busy with some online works and pre-occupied about our upcoming HK trip in December. I just heard from my friend Caryl who is in HK that it's about 10C now there and probably will drop more in December so I'm contemplating if I'm still going to buy boots like this UGG Classic Tall. Knowing that we'll only be there for only 4 days and there's no way I can use it again, I guess I will just use rubber shoes for the trip.

Anyway, here's a freebie CHRISTMAS Template from Jacinda that I wanted to share. I also browsed her blog and found her layouts appealing. I guess I'll be scrap lifting one of her layout.

Updating my Project 365 Photobook Layout and more

Poor thing, I wasn't able to shop for discounted digital scrapbooking kits during the {inter}National Digital Scrapbooking Day! Oh how I missed those sales. Last year I was able to grab some nice kits at half the price or for only $2 now I got none. Anyway, I was too busy with so many things that I was not interested in grabbing any and actually I was not even excited about it unlike the previous years. Maybe because I am not scrapping much lately.

Yesterday, luckily I got some free time in the afternoon and I was in the mood to open my Photoshop so I updated my Project 365 (photo-a-day) layouts. I was actually behind for about 4 weeks so I hurriedly scrapped some pages and I am happy with the results. I was really tired that afternoon and it's a good fat burner for me since I am sweating (no AC that time) that time.

Right now I'm on my 1st week of November layout and few more weeks I'll be able to finish it already. I can't wait to have it printed over at ARTSCOW (where else) once again.

I just love Simply Yin's templates and her style of scrapping. Actually I have used her templates, which i re-arranged to suit the layout that I wanted. It makes my life a bit easier when I use it on my photobooks. Here's another template from her free to download. She is so generous. You can download it at her blog and hope you can use it too like what I did.

Anyway, I am itching to use these templates once again. I know the holidays are coming up so tons of photos are available once again to scrap. At the meantime, I need to download some photos at my memory card and dose myself with natural fat burner to make me more mobile. Ahhh I just need some veggies and fruits.
