Emily and Young Lin, ready for their next Korean/English lesson :o)


We also got to taste a Korean potato noodle dish which had fish cake (thinly sliced) and veg in it. Really tasty!  Emily also had a Korean pancake and, as you might imagine, wasn't overly hungry at dinner time ;o)

Licking the Spoon



I loved these photos from when we made cupcakes last week and wanted to record them on a layout. So, over the weekend I continued playing around with what I had and finally finished on Sunday night.

I knew there were a few photos I wanted to use so I designed a photo collage template in Photoshop Elements 9 with a 4x6 photo as the main photo and three little 2x2 photos to the side. However, when I printed it out I felt it neded something to divide the photos. I played around on my Silhouette Cameo (which I was lucky enough to get for Christmas) and managed to come up with this frame to go over the photos which, I think, finishes them off.  The title was also cut on the Silhouette using one of the fonts I have on my computer and the tab, little heart and spoon were shapes downloaded from the Silhouette shop (though I did add the inner oval on the spoon). 

This page is a little out of my comfort zone because I usually keep things very simple with plain cardstock, maybe a little patterned paper and a title. So adding ribbon and embellishments (if you can call them that) is different for me.  It's got the photos scrapped though and that was what I wanted :)

Alice loves getting to go on the computer. Emily brought up the CBeebies website and they were listening to the Baby Jake theme song - Baby Jake is one of Alice's favourites and she gets really excited while he's on :o)

Project Life : Week 3



Another week completed and I'm really starting to enjoy Project Life.  I didn't know if I'd keep it up but if I continue as I have been so far (and I know it's early days) it would be wonderful to have a full years worth of photos to look back on.  I'm sure seeing the pages of other people on the internet is also helping to keep me motivated and give me ideas of other ways I could set out my pages.  So glad I've finally got on board with this and that it's starting to click for me :o)
