I am so obsessed with buttons lately, their shapes and colours are so lovely that I wanted to shape a tree from them. Then, I came across this quote from Pinterest and decided to turned it into a scrap with the button tree. What do you think?

Lily has closed this year with her latest collection the the series Life Captured : December. Look at that penguin....

On this rainy Sunday afternoon, after attending TBI's end of year Achievement gathering at Hotel Padma, Ciumbuleuit, I was in the mood for artsy scrapping using Juliana Kneipp's latest kit : Playroom.

SSD Monthly Portfolio : December 2012 - 1

Recently I have been buying stuff from Sweet Shoppe Designs. The Sugar Babe gallery is full with inspirational pages with style that suits my preference very well. As an added point, they have these special challenges submitted monthly to Pinterest.

So far this year, they've posted a whopping 440 challenges! So for December's challenge portfolio, they invite us to earn points for our Sweet Rewards using ANY of the challenges which have been posted at Pinterest from January to November 2012! Yaaay... This is is my very own first take of the challenge :

October #33 - Design a page using only ONE of each of these elements: photo, paper, one word title, flower, and ribbon. Anything else you add to your page is up to you! - 2 pts.

Project 365 : Week 44

Slowly but sure I tried to reduce the pile on unfinished Project 365 layouts. Here is Week 44 :

Project 365 : Week 43

I embarrassed to confess that I've been neglecting my Project 2012 :(.... After more than a month abandoning 5 weeks in a row (OMG... you are so lazy, Nadia!), I managed to do ONE! Yay, kudos for me...

I used these products from Sweet Shoppe Designs I bought during DSD November 2012 while they are on sale for 40%. Love the kits over there so much... They are little bit pricey for me so it's good thing that I could get them discounted :). Oh yeah, the word art "A Picture is worth a thousand words" is from Jennifer of Word Art World I bought with my winning $25 gift coupon.

Sweet Treat at Myeong-dong

By now, you must now how additected I am to Kristin Aagard Designs. Once again, I used her kit to scrap my third day in Korea. I felt in love from head over heel for this sweet kit, with so many candies and sweet treat inside.... I Want Candy! For the template, of course Little Green Frog Design again, with additional photo at the bottom.

Here you go : Shopping Day at Myeong-dong! I and the girls had a blast walking through the street of Myeong-dong tasting the tallest ice cream, some Korean pancakes and obviously doing a bit of cosmetic shopping. I just couldn't resist it... Nature Republic was having a 50% sale.... :).

Ferry to Nami Island

I like to tell story with my scrapbooking pages, therefore I prefer template that can accommodate a lot of pictures including the big one as a focal point. This template by Little Green Frod Design is my favorite and I know I'm going to use it over and over again with different kits. I used it to scrap my photos in a ferry ride to Nami Island. I rotated the template and slightly change the position of one of the photo. Can you tell?

Tickertape by Little Green Frog Designs

The theme of my page is travelling by ferry or boat and I wanted to use bluish papers. How glad I was when I discovered that Bella Gypsy's freebie patterned papers in their fan facebook were mostly blue! I combined it with boat, cute sailors and silver anchor element I just bought from Kristin Aagard Designs called Little Traveller. Psst... I bought it when Scraporchard had a special Advent Day 5 in which all Kristin's product was discounted by 50%. Wow, what a bargain...! I'm still waiting for the day when Bella Gypsy has their store on sale too. I would buy a bunch I supposed :). I love their style...

Ginger Scraps : Sweet and Precious by Keep in Touch Designs

These sweet and cute words are totally hooked me up the first time I laid my eyes on them! Oh, I simply must HAVE this, I thought to my self. And even though I still had 4 more project 365 layouts I haven't finished, I just took this kit and started play right away :).
