Sharing my Metropolitan

Before I start rambling, I need to remind you of something. Please don't forget to use your $2 off any one Add-On. Mass Transit is my favorite.

And get several packs of those SC Patterned Paper - if you haven't already. This December, Studio Calico is collaborating with Sassafrass Lass! Two fabulous manufacturer! The colors are so yummy!

Time for layouts and more ramblings. *grins*

Lemme tell you something, those photos are fresh! Super duper fresh! LOL. I took them as we landed back in Singapore, 4 hours later, they're already on the layout. I am so proud of myself. And more so in love with Hipstamatic and my iPhone. I have about 40 more photos of clouds/ view from above, taken from the airplane on that day itself. 40 and I love every single one of them. 40 is not so bad!

Journaling ~

I love traveling.

No doubt.

But I love coming home more.

Comfort.

Routine.

Family.

I am. Content. Right now. I like this 'state' of happiness. I like my life now, I like me, now. :) *knocking on wood* LOL.

The photo was taken with the photobooth software on the iMac, when i get home from my haircut, and I wanna use that because there is no way I'll get that hair again, unless i go for a wash and blow at the salon.

Our very own rockstar. Nidhi :) She *without any nudging from her daddy or me* entered herself in a talent contest during the 80th birthday of her school. She practised hard, dancing to Lady Gaga everyday. *grins* Mommy had a grand time curling her hair and putting on her make-ups! LOL.

Close up of the stitched butterflies. I think I'm gonna cross-stitch again *I still have loads of stash related to cross-stitching anyway!*. Kinda miss it.

I used

• Jenni Bowlin Ink - Lemon Drops for the yellow airplanes (layout 1). My type of yellow - the color makes me happy! Next in my list -> Cough Syrup! That red is just gorgeous!
• Raspberry Pink Maya Mist (layout 2) - the piece of paper underneath my photo.
• Mister Huey Calico White. This stuff is magic!
• Poinsettia Punch
• Loads of foam tabs to create dimension.
• DMC embroidery thread : #725, #602, #704 & #3844

I cut the 'wings' on the rockstar layout using Slice and Just Chillin' Teen design card. Speaking of Slice,

TwoPeas is selling the design cards at $25 each

+ free US shipping for every order $25 and over + free gift with every purchase. What a steal! They even have

the SLICE itself

on sale - 50% off! If you're thinking, I seriously think this is the best time to get it. And if you need another reason - well, it's pink. I'm shallow like that.

Time to refill my coffee tumbler and get hopping! See you soon!!
