Beautiful Sunset

What I missed the most in Moorea was the time where Tommy and I could hang out and watch the sunset. I love watching the beautiful sunset by the lookout. It had an unobstructed view.

I decided to use a orange cardstock as background. Do you recall my Le Matiehani page? I used the same glitter pattern paper for this project. I bought extra at the scrapbook store in case I mess up, I still have an extra cardstock for me to work on. I managed to not make a mistake on my other layout. I was able to save the extra cardstock for another project. This layout was totally calling for it.


Instead of wasting such beautiful paper, I cut out four strips of 1x12. I used runner tape and adhered to each side of the orange cardstock.

I used my digital cutter to cut out 4 photo corners. Instead of using all 4 for one picture, I decided to use 2 corners for each of the picture for the project. I looked through my quote stack to see if there was anything I could use. I found "What a view..." in the stack. It was perfect! The color matched with the project coincidentally. I created a frame for the vellum quote as the vellum was orange. If I were to stick it over the orange cardstock, the quote would not stand out.

I also found a matching flower in my flower collection and decided to use it. It seem to go well together.


I also used my digital cutter to cut out the font. I used the Xyron X to create the sticker for the letters so I could easily adhere the letters onto the page. For the 4 photo corners, I also ran them into the Xyron X, 2 times. The first time I ran them through, I added fine white glitters on them. After dusting all the excess, I ran it through to get the other side sticky to adhere to the cardstock.

I like this page alot. It looks very simple, but pretty at the same time. I loved how I made use of the glitters on the photo corners. It gave a little bit of a sparkle, like how the water sparkled when the sun is hitting the water.

Unexpected Michael's Shopping Trip

I really don't remember the last time I went into a craft store, I walked out without spending a penny. I am always buying new embellishments, but there's still so many at home, waiting to be used. Some day, I may have to get a public storage to put them in. I hate to say, but I think I am a hoarder! :(

Ever since my brother moved out of my parent's house, I have been taking over his room. First, I took his closet to put my clothes in. Then, I slowly took over his desk by packing up all his old belongings that were sitting on his desks. I have been wanting to do a makeover for this room. However, I don't really want to do it because it is my parent's house. I will eventually move out and I hope that my hunnie will be nice enough to give me a craft room. Well, that will be years to come from now.

Anyway, I didn't get much at Michael's this time. I was very careful on my spending as I just returned from my trip. I am not looking forward to get my credit card statement at all! I purchased the gem flourishes. They really come in handy and they really fancy my pages up! I bought the pressed flowers. I am not sure what I am going to be doing with them yet. I bought more ribbons! I love ribbons. I have a box full of ribbons. I should look into my ribbon box and see what I have soon!

Hope you are all having a great day! It's midweek, 2 more work days, and we can all relax on the weekend! :)
