Emotion Wheel

Finished this one this morning, Jon sitting in front of the mirror and a working emotion wheel! Yes, it's working!! It's pointing to "Happy" as Jon was pretty happy that day when the pictures were taken! I also designed more dimensional elements on this layout:

Summer Pool Fun

Jon and Tata Chri (great aunt) in the pool, it was Jon's first pool experience! It's a simple layout and I added a little bubble effect around the pictures with two different sized circle punches. Didn't know it would came out so good, I always wanted circle punches and I'm so glad I got them!!

I Won!!

I'm so excited that I won a shopping certificate from CC.com (one of the challenges) to an online store!! Yippeee!! I finally can save some pocket money on scrapbooking accessories!! lol. Thank you so much CC, you all are the best!! :)) xoxoxo

By the way, I apologize for not posting any new layout lately as my family (husband and son) including me..all fell sick!! Please bear with me, I'll be back soon! I think having the good news above could help me recover faster! lol. :) See you soon! ;)

Play Time

One of Jon's play time! The picture was taken when Jon was about 8months old, yep...still at sitter to crawler stage! I created this layout using the scrap papers I had from creating my previous layout titled "Love". This layout features hidden messages in two half folded heart as shown in the pictures below. I also used my first hand made felt flower on it, I love how it looks on my layout! So I was asked about how I keep the layout since it's a 3D layout, good question! I actually hang it up in a 3D frame so the elements on the layout won't get ripped off!

Love

Opening heart hidden message, just another Alexia's journaling style! Hope you like it and thank you for stopping by!

Laugh & Smile

My precious baby, Jonathan he is simply a lovely and happy baby! He loves to laugh and his smile can kill, no kidding! lol. I designed the following layout with layered circles and each layer of circle has different pictures, also one for the journal. To view the journal simply pull the butterfly to the right, please see the layouts below:

The base paper is of size 10 1/4" x 10 1/4"

The first layer is a transparent plastic cover which also rotatable:

Sour Orange

Jon had this expression when he took a bite of this sour orange!

Just Me, Only Me

Realized I'd never scrap about myself so here is it, a picture of me of year 2007, a day after my birthday! I remember I celebrated my 23rd birthday alone in Singapore cos had to go to work the next day so couldn't go back to my home in Malaysia. Well, it wasn't bad, I had a pretty good day myself hanging out places in Singapore. Oh Singapore, I miss you so much, miss the city life! Can't wait to see you again next year January during our trip to M'sia for CNY celebration.

Back to the layout, I used felt fabric this time. Nothing much special to see on picture until you can experience and touch it. Just different. lol. I used green one for the leaves too! Went to Michael's last week and they had it on sale so I grabbed some thinking maybe I can use it on my projects, card, scrapbooking, etc. Of course as usual, I bought several things that I not exactly wanted. That's the downside of being a member, you just have to spend more to get the offer. However, I enjoyed the shopping (which matters most):P
