have to get back to work but couldn't resist sharing this lo i finished for the becky fleck think pink challenge. it's official, i am a bling-loving-cluttered-lo girl. i think the yuletide bug caught up with me when i was doing this. let me know what you think. have a great week ahead everyone.
p.s., julie is hosting a blog candy here, in case you might want to join. :)
had a funny incident with my ring last wednesday, you can read all about it in the other blog. i managed to finish a card for kaya made from scraps of the lo i did. i made it for boipren, i just have to write a note inside. i initially planned to make an atc when i remembered seeing alby use it for a card so i decided to use it for my card as well. i like making atc's, they're like miniature art pieces.
i also finished my lo for ria's birthday challenge. and no, i am not pregnant, and if our plans go as intended, i won't be in the next 4-5 years. don't get me wrong, i think motherhood is wonderful and i really look forward to joining the club. but i still have lots of growing up and outgrowing to do before i can be ready for a kid. truth be told, i am a kid myself!
so i manage to finish my entry for kaya. i've been staring at it for days, trying to figure out if i should go for the minimalist approach or if i should go heavy on the embellishments. in the end, the bright colors won me over to go for the eclectic, cluttered look or in other words, makalat. i like putting in lots of things in a layout and have people find something new every time they look. i have to learn to work with less is more but for now, this is my finished lo.
also, i got all my ebay purchases this week and i felt like a kid during christmas opening all the packages. anyway, this will be my last splurge for a while. i promised boipren i will start seriouslys aving up for the wedding. it's a good exercise to help me stop hoarding and to start using most of the stuff i haven't used yet. anyway, i am off to another wedding fair in a while. have a great weekend everyone.
look who's got her mojo back. i just have to fill out the journaling spots later on. i hope i can finish some lo's for challenges by the weekend.
i'm also glad i was able to use the stuff i bought from japan. the blue title/journal spot in the first lo is actually washi tape. then, in the second lo, i was able to use these cute matrioshka stamps. i put myself on a shopping and hoarding moratorium until i get to use all the new stash. besides, boipren is constantly reminding me to start saving for the wedding. now if only i can justify my scrapbook shopping as part of wedding expenses - any ideas how to do that?
enjoy the week everyone. :)
