Rainy days are always my best source of inspiration to scrap! Because of the nice weather.. I can let my creative jucie flow..
So last weekend, I did these 2 layouts after viewing 2peasinabucket free monthly class. This October theme was stamping. And to those who know, I've 2 trays & 1 big bag of wooden and clear stamps.. so many that are there a few that i've bought ages ago and didn't even use.
So right now, I make it a motto to incorporate stamps in my every layout if possible. Hahaha... ^_^
That way my stamps will be so much cost effective.
Snapshots of myself during my USA Trip to SF last year
My Bf who never fails to make my laugh at silly things.
As I always fancy simple and clear cut design thus all my layouts are always very simple. Don't have alot of layering. Just simple and nice.
My next project will be a standing mini album... so stay tune...
I've been raving that how i wish Amy Tangerine's scrapbook line with American Crafts to reach SG shores...
Yup yup, I managed to get my hands on some of her collections.... at MWL!!! except for the stamp, seems to fly of the shelves each time it's in for restock, so i managed to get mine online!
These goodies are simply too yummy that i can't bear to even use it for my scrapping!!!
I should have purchase 2 of everything! Ahhhhh!!!!
Seeing that this afternoon is such lovely... I decided to scrap at my living room... Enjoying the breeze while building my layout up.
Did a total of 2 layouts.. and did some add ons to my mini album project.

I'm glad to have the chance to travel to the USA. Thought it's my first USA trip but I won't consider my happiest trip.. I'm hoping to have a chance to travel to USA with Bf for our honeymoon.. perhaps New York. (^_^v) I shall keep my finger cross and work very hard towards it!
Disneyland - Hongkong
Another place that holds my heart... Hongkong. No matter how many times I've been there, I always look forward to visit her. But I'm resisting the temptation cos I still have many other countries that I would love to visit and explore.
Using October Afternoon Mini Album
This is our very first mini album that i've created. Purpose is to journal and preserve all our happy memories. Nothing about that, that i've to complaint. Cos I think I'm really blissful right now.
Another reason for creating this mini album is that i hope to journal all our trips, movies dates, dating trips to garden / beach / park into a yearly thingy and hopefully can be placed at our wedding reception.
A special table where it said, A trip down memory lane..
This table will host our dating time..... all the way till our marriage. =)
Our first date = Movie + Dinner
There's more to add as it's only September 2011..
This month is gonna be a busy month for both Bf and myself...
Really hoping that Sept will pass soon..
Recently my job is getting busier, lots of changes but the best of all is everyone is somewhat unsure of their exact job role. Seriously when ppl say, " I know you are very busy, though I don't know what you are doing." Makes me pissed off.. Come to my work desk and see how many stuffs I have to handle. These ppl really get on get nerves!!
Anyway, I've given myself dead line - a max of 1.5 years in this company than i can say good bye. Believing that I will find another job that pays at least commensurate with what I'm doing.
Why am i suddenly so grumpy about work?? It's all because yesterday I schedule my dental appointment at 630pm near my house. And I only manage to leave the office at 6.37pm. The moment I announce that i have to leave early due to a dental appointment... Things just keep coming... More instructions... More things to follow up! Haiz. Can 1 imagine, all i need is a 30 mins visit to the dentist and i've to reschedule this appointment for more than 3 times!
And in order to make myself feel better again, I meet up with my Bf who is also getting busier this time with his final lap of his degree program and also with performance gigs and teaching!! I'm glad that at such times he's able to understand my grumpiness and also encouragement and support.
At the basement of Concorde Hotel. there is an inconspicuous food court that house this yummy Thai food store!!!
This Chocolate Mint from Cold Stone just improve my day so much more!!! I just love their ice cream.... really solid. Though I still feel that the one in states is so much bigger in portion and of course cheaper than SG! hahahaha
We ended our mini date with a little visit to my favorite scrapbook store at PS, purchase some goodies.. Managed to get hold of Jillbean Soup tags. Really really inspire to altered 1 as book mark!
And another layout that i scrap lift.. If you notice, I used Charice and Unique's duet - "Wherever you are" as my title and a part of the lyrics as my journal.
Love this song to its max!! Beautiful song and lyrics...
This is the reaction that i had when i finish listening to his playing... double "wow"!!!!!
This song title is One Summer's Day from - Spirited Away.
Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し) is a 2001 film by the Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, written and directed by famed animator Hayao Miyazaki.
The film received many awards, including the second Oscar ever awarded for Best Animated Feature, the first anime film to win an Academy Award, and the only winner of that award to be traditionally animated or win among five nominees (in every other year there were three nominees).
The film also won the Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival.
This movie is also my all time favourite... and i even purchase this movie's theme book for my Electone music practice... too bad that i've been practicing for a long long time. But I really hope that someone i can resume my lesson, got to stop due to my busy working schedule..
Oh yes, ever since i step into the scrap booking world...
I practically obsessed with tools, paints, alphabets stickers, embellishment and etc.... But now my current obsession will be stamps!
Stamps just allow my creativity to flow freely. I can use them in all sorts of ways. And I also love to use water colour crayons to colour them as well! Great for crafts, cards and scrapbook layouts.
And there is 1 new additional to my ever growing collections.
Tim Holtz - Good Thoughts Stamps
I've been eyeing for this stamps like for ages... And finally when i was "researching" for cheaper scrapping tools deals, i stumble upon this website.. www.simonsaystamps.com
And they are selling this wonderful stamp at the price of $21. Which cost me about SG$30 after the conversion. And it's alot cheaper than my local scrapbook store is selling.
Bf and I may not have alot of time to go out on a date.. But every time we manage to find time for each other, it's a wonderful time spent.
This picture was taken quite a few months ago, where we went to Changi Village to take photo of Sunset... but the weather that day was way too warm thus we change our location to Pasir Ris in the evening.
It's been quite awhile since we go out together, cos Bf is completing his final lap of his studies and at the same time he has to manage his teaching hours as well. And as for me, monday - friday is all work and occassionally weekends, i have to work too. So we really treasure every single moment we have together...

Come across this song.. and instantly i love in fall with the beautiful lyrics.
I'm soo tempted to scrap a layout with the song lyrics...
Especially this verse....

Like a shadow...
Awww... so sweet! Got to bring our my scrapping creative juices out!
I guess every girl will dream of how her wedding will be when she grows up. Maybe under the influence of Disney cartoon which I'm a huge fan even at this age, all girls will dream of marrying her prince charming.
I once thought that my love life wasn't a smooth sailing and that I keep thinking that i should put in more effort. Trying to forget who is the real Felicia in order to please him. But till i met my BF... every thing just change. Cause I met one who really appreciate me for who i am. Loves me as much despite my faults and flaws. And vice verse for me.
It's just a short 5mths and a voice inside me just tells me that he's the one.... So sure of it that every little thing he does just reassures me.
And how i envision my wedding.
SIMPLE and COSY.
With lots of earth and natural or light pastel colours.
Happened to glance upon a scrapbook magazine and was inspired to do a similar layout. Couldn't really remember which mag was it but i remember reading that scrapper seldom like to scrap about themselves..
Hmm, think about it... Quite true!
So here's my try on my Top Ten list about myself.
1) Stubborn as a mule
2) Loves to travel
3) Trying to improve her photography skills
4) Shopping is her best buddy!
5) Lazy at times
6) Faithful to my loves one and friends
7) Have a sweet tooth
8) Strawberries and Mango is my addiction.
9) Can't live without bags and shoes
10) Loves to pamper myself
Well.. things are kinda of busy for me.
Busy with work... Just completed an event in June and there's another big event in my company that's coming up in Sept. Which mean July - Aug will be superb busy for me as there are many admin matters to handle and prepare for this big up coming event.
And than I can't wait for my holiday in Oct. Right now, We are discussing which holiday packages to take, whether to book via online portal. transportation and etc.. Really excited cos it's my first holiday trip to beach/resort area. Mostly my holidays are more to shopping spree trip.
Did a very simple cap tin from Maya Road for my friend's 21st birthday....
Used alot of pop up foam dots to make the cloud and photo "pop"! Hopefully she likes it!
Haven been scrapping lots recently but i'v purchase quite a number of scrapbooking goodies!
Had a great dinner with the girls last sat. Love the macaroons to the bits!
1) Is a madalion flower for my best friend at work.. as her birthday present!
With the help of my favourite glue : Becon's glue!
This glue is really good!! It's fast drying glue and it sticks really well!
2) Ikea Altered Art Frame
Remember that i bought this unity stamp quite some time ago and never had the chance to use it... Today while watching tv serial.. i decided to stamped it and use my water crayon to colour it.. And i'm quite happy with the effects..
Used glitter mist on the photo frame boarder and randomly stamp the musical notes.. Suddenly i itch to own a stamp of words.. like those kind of words that you can find in dictionary.. hahaha
Maybe i shall try searching try various stamp makers website..
