Mini Love Blog Hop

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today we are having a cute, informal blog hop showing our love for mini books.  It all started with Sam who made a mini book and decided to get a few girlies from Instagram to join her in making one also for this blog hop.  There was no set theme for the mini's.  Instead, we all worked with a few prompts to get us started.  The three prompts were:

1. Use white card stock as background

2. Use numbers for the inside pages

3. Use a ring to bind the mini album

We are so excited to see everyone's take on making an album in their own style. 

Here's my take on these prompts :)

I used Wink of Stella clear glitter on the wood veneers :)

My very minimalist mini album 

I used watercolor to add some color to the white woodgrain card stock throughout the album and a splash of gold mist is always a must :)

Oh, and BTW!  We will have a mini giveaway from each blog also!  Hop to each blog and leave a comment (and follow me on my blog & IG would be great too) for a chance to win by Sunday, Feb 16!  Winners will be chosen and announced on Monday, Feb 17!  Easy peasy! :)

I'm giving away a $10 voucher to use at my shop and also some random embellishments that I will add into the winner's package.

Here's the list for blog hop:

I managed to squeeze in some time yesterday to make a layout based on Citrus Twist's Sunday Sketch :) And now I am quickly uploading it while the baby naps. He has been wanting to be nursed the whole day and I do mean the whole day!!

I kept my layout pretty simple choosing to let the photo speak for itself :) I will add journalling on the tag that I tugged beneath the photo and the patterned papers.

You can't really see from here but I did pop up the papers with pop-dots to add dimension to the page. That's all for now :) Will be back!

I am slowly finding back my creative-side and my mojo after our big move to the US sometime in March. It was floating around in hotels and motels and then finding a place to call our home for the next couple of years, to finally settling in.

Honestly, I said it's a big move because it really is. Whoever said packing and moving is a piece of cake either meant a piece from one huge a*s of a cake or they had plenty of help (or paid movers to do it!)... oh, and the "big move" I meant is the moving-out-of-the-country-kind, not the moving from house-to-house-kinda-moving. They are really different... you have to experience it to know what I'm talking about.

But, I guess, doing it a couple more times will definitely make things easier (chuckles)... yes, I aspire to be like Travelingmama and experience life in many different places :) 

I do know that I have not been keeping this blog alive with interesting or creative feeds for quite a while now (the occasional smattering of low quality posts is really below par.. sorry about that) and I hope this fresh start in the States will also be a fresh start for my blog and my craft. For instance, I have finally started doing more 12x12 layouts, something I don't really do back home. 

I love kangaroos... they are so cute when they hop and these were wild.. I had to creep very near them to capture these shots with my iPhone.. yes, it's taken with the iPhone 4s, so you can imagine how close I was to them. Good thing they did not charge over and punch-kick me! :P

Loving the woodgrain PP

I really do hope my 'readers' will come back and frequent my blog again. I hope it used to be an inspiration for some of you and I hope it will be again. Please do leave me a comment to say 'hi' if you drop by.. don't be shy!
