 {A Layout} ...and the way we Go...

I am currently in love to scrap with large sized (8.5X11) photo here. My focal point is the photo so I decease the amount of the embellishments on this page.

{A Layout} Sweet treat

This photo was taken during our date night a few weeks ago. Hubby took me to a very nice Sushi buffet and I treated him with frozen yogurt after dinner. We had such a lovely evening.

For being married almost 11 years, we still have a lot to chat and laugh together. We enjoy each others company. I love how he always read my minds and make me laugh so hard.

I think its pretty safe to say I'd pick him all over again. lol

I use supplies from three different kits (Blue Farm Grass , Bessie and Clove)over at Studio Calico for this layout.

This photo was taken on our first night at the South Pacific ocean during our Tahiti trip from last May. 

I just have to say, the experience with Tahiti was just unforgettable and amazing. I can't get enough of it. So I will scrap as many as photos I can from that trip. :)

Miss it everyday after we got back. Hope to visit there soon.

{A Layout} Wonder Around for our Alaska cruise trip

We've been taking the Alaska Cruise twice. And both times were just amazing.

We booked a breakfast in our balcony on the day of sailing the Tracy Arm glacier so we don't have to fight with the crowds. It was just breathtaking. The scenic along the inside passage is just spectacular. I'd love to go back again and also visit Denali National Park.

{A Layout} Gourmet life, A foodie layout with Mon Ami colection

 

{A Layout} Gourmet life

I am definitely a foodie. I enjoy food, and also love to try different restaurateurs, different chefs and different style of food.

And I do consider myself lucky to live in the Silicon Valley, where there are a lot immigrants live. So we do have everything here.

I am also surrounded by people who are from different countries, and have different life stories. It always amazed me how different we are but still get along so well.

So I realized I have never done any food related layout, I think this collection is perfect for this. So here you go. My very first food related layout. lol

I bought these wooden silver wares in Taiwan, aren't they just adorable and perfect with the dolliy?

A layout for my newspaper interview.

 I am so honored and nervous when I got a phone call from the reporter of  World Journal (Chinese newspaper) want to interview and feature me and my scrappy story. I immediately say yes, of course.

And It went out two weeks ago. I finally get to scrap the copy. This one is for my record. :)

SUPPLY LIST:March exclusive kit from Chic tags. Didn't you just love the bright colors?

Happy Spring wall art.

I really love the photos my friend took for me when we went to the Filoli garden two week ago.
It's blooming so beautifully in the garden right now. I truly enjoy this season in the Northern California before it gets too hot. Right now, it's so comfortable. Love it.

For this project, I also put my Metalic Krylon Paint into another good use after I spray onto my dollies. I spray paint on this 12X12 wood paper from the Dear Lizzy daydreamer collection. It turns out awesome.

Love the result.

My 4 layouts using Gossamer Blue's March main kit.

As a member of Gossamer Blue, we can create 4 layouts using each month's kit before deadline for 4 consecutive months. Then we can earn a free 12X12 album for our layouts.
To me, this is awesome. Because albums are not cheap. lol I am all about savings.

2014 Project Life Week 12.

 2014 Project Life Week 12.

Whenever I look at my spreads, I am always amazed about how photo heavy I am. lol 

I'd write a lot journalings, but to me photos seem to tell them all.

I do occasionally hide my writing journalings  behind my photos, because some of them are personal note.

How about you? Are you writing heavy or photo heavy like me?
