Hello everyone!
Yes, I am still alive. Not quite dead, though I haven't blogged anything or made much in over a year.
Things have been rather busy on this side of the world (well, in my little world anyway). A big news on my life would be that I bought a house!!! Long story, but
it somehow happened. The house is still in development and settlement
hasn't occurred so it technically isn't mine yet. They are well overdue
but I think they might be another 2 months or so away. Exciting but
also daunting that I will sooner or later have a mortgage - and I just
thought I'd be a bit more free now that I'd paid off the Student Loan
too!
Work has been keeping me busy and I've sort of lost a bit of inspiration and motivation to make cards the last little while.
However, I did finally get myself Project Life. I had been meaning to for a long time but it is a rather expensive little thing and I thought I'd bide my time. Having a well paying job certainly helps, but being on night shift for the first time didn't help my self control and I finally caved in around 5am at work. Haha. Not to mention that was followed by clothes shopping on ASOS two weeks later on another set of night shift. Lol.
Anyway, I have been keeping up with PTI releases, but just have been quiet. I see and am thrilled that PTI is releasing things to go with pocket scrapbooking trend. Great (and bad for my wallet) because big 12x12 pages scare me. Anyway, I had done my own first page with lots of difficulty a couple of weeks ago, so I may as well share and get in a chance to win something ;)
So yes, I cheated. I got the journaling cards from the core kit and added my little touch.
This is my under-used SU! Fox & Friends set. I feel like I've finally put it to good use. Actually looking at this now, I feel that it would also make good background for kids' birthday cards.
And voila! This is my first ever pocket scrapbooking page. It took an awful lot of time and thought before I arrived at this. It appears that I struggle with pocket scrapbooking almost as much as the old-fashioned 12x12 page scrapbooking.
Anyway, things are going to be ridiculously busy for me the next few months now that I've started a postgraduate diploma (only till June!). Perhaps I will go back into that old habit of getting sidetracked and crafting the week before exams ;)
Thanks for coming by!
