not so long ago...

when i was still in the workforce and looking forward with our get-together--celebrating an occasion or just even a simple chitchat with my colleagues and friends

gosh, i really missed them...

well that's life, some may come and go, whether we are far from each other it doesn't matter, what matter the most is that we have formed that "bond".

we have memories to treasure and that someday, we may meet again and share a good laugh c",)

thanks to another MWL challenge, i've been able to do a multi-photo layout using these treasured photos of my colleagues.

Supplies:

cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper); patterned paper (Dreamstreet papers, Sassafras); stickers (AC Remarks, Sassafras, AC Thickers, K&Company); tag, paints (Making Memories); crackle paint (Ranger Industries); dye ink (Tsukineko); thread (DMC); alphas (AC Thickers, Jenni Bowlin, Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey, KI memories); stamp (Hero Arts); marker (Copic); others: chipboard, pop-up dots, glue tape, glossy accent, copic paper

using glossy accents to also emphasize the "LOVE" word from the sticker cardstock

more sticker words for journaling

crackle paint to add texture on those cutie snails cut from a patterned paper and for the stamp-Copic colored butterflies then painted & glittered the plain chipboard

stitches and sticker cardstock for borders

and just to share some other photos of my dearest friends from my previous company--

using a mini graphic album from Piradee's class that I have once attended at MWL.

Smile

I can't think of what kind of album should I create for our trip. Photos have been in my scrap table for 6 months now! So better yet, use this 1 photo at least to have 1 layout down (40+ more to go, goodluck to me!). Good thing there's an ongoing challenge in my lss - MWL to start the mojo running.

My hubby is fond of Avril Lavigne, and since I like the chorus of her 'Smile' song, the excerpt of the lyrics was used as journaling.

Supplies:

cardstock: American Crafts ; patterned paper, lace: Graphic45, Creative Imaginations ; pebbles, handmade paper, letter sticker: Prima Marketing ; circle lace stamp: Hero Arts ; distress ink, perfect pearls, embossing ink: Ranger Industries ; paint: Making Memories ; mini ephemera: 7Gypsies ; dew drops: Robin's nest ; others: trims, tape glue, glue lines, craft glue, pen, foam dots, tags, plain chipboards, watercolor paper

painted the plain chipboards

inked edges of the journal strips for a vintage look

circle lace stamped on a watercolor paper using embossing ink then colored with perfect pearls
