Project Life Updates - June Adelaide Page 2

*Read more of my Project Life post here :)

Today I share the third and last sprees of my Adelaide trip 2015. I remember the first time I went overseas to New Zealand , I was so excited to scrapbook them that I had done 2 full 12x12 albums full of photos and layouts . Complicated layouts . Then the second time I travel was to Adelaide , same old 12x12 layouts in 2 large WRMK D ring binders . Then I get tired , so I downsized to 6x8 album in 2013. But I need 2 of those chipboard ones (which had a thick spine ) from Studio calico and some mini Heidi swap memory files to finish scrapping all the photos . By 2014 I was determined to keep everything in a 6x9 basic grey album - didn't happy at all . In fact up till now I still haven't scrapbook that . 

In 2015 , i was introduced to Midori travelers  notebook and decided that it will help me ease the stress in scrapbooking my journey . So here I am , Scrapbooking in the travelers notebook on the go and come back to print the photos larger in m project life album. If there isn't enough space to print all , I don't mind printing a simple larger size photo book (I did some from Artifact uprising ) 

Below are the images . Thanks for stopping by :)

Okay, life happens. The last time I check, the project life post was back in 31st May. My apologies. I was so caught up with life and other scrapbooking projects. These few days I'm coming back to share some of my Project Life pages for June , which is the month that I was traveling. Although I had scrapbooked these in my Midori Travelers Notebooks, I still do a weekly spread in my 6x12 Project Life album, so that the album has a wholesome view of my life (or else, June will entirely not be inside)

Some of the close ups.

Thanks for stopping by :) 

Midori Traveler's Notebook | Adelaide 2015 - Scrapbooking / Memory Keeping on the go

It has been sometime since I last blogged. I was traveling and right after that I started work immediately. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel motivated to continue blogging and sharing. Today it so happen that I have a rest day, so time to catch up on the sharing :)


Previously I shared two post on my handmade Fauxdori Travelers Notebook here and here. And I mention that I'm bringing it to Australia as my scrapbook . (YES! I'm no longer committing to scrapbooking a 12x12 scrapbook nor 6x8 handbook for each trip, that's just too much to do and take up lots of space) Today I shall share what I bring along with me for the trip in terms of memory keeping and scrapbooking.

Here is an overview of what I bring with me, I have my notebook on teh top left hand corner, and I have 2 pouches , one from an old SC kit, and one thin cosmetic pouch from Esprit. 

This SC canvas drawstring bag consist of some flat embellishments including Shimelle Sticker, some die cuts and dollies. I also included an extra Midori notebook inside and some of Midori accessories.

The black pouch is more like a tool pouch with all the Distress markers and a bunch of Precision Pens. I brought 3 inks (Black, red and gold), and some stamps. OA date stamp comes in very handy as well. And not forgetting an Adhesive. 

I had made a smaller sized Watercolor book that is similar to the one I share in this post

I also made a handmade sticker book using some unwanted older page protectors and my beloved fuse too. It works wonder, I'm able to stuff about 15 stickers that are approximately 4x6inches in this pouch. All these booklets can be stuck inside my Midori and bring out conveniently:) 

This is how fat the album is right now.

Below I share some completed pages :) Many of the stamping are done using Kellie Stamps

BUT FIRST

THIS IS MY JAM

I'm falling in love with this sort of pages , that include a mish mash of stickers, stamping, random doodling, words and icon stickers. 

I also bring along my Instax Share Printer to print out photos directly from my iPhone. I'm also able to print my DSLR photo, using the EOS remote app. All thanks to the wifi enable canon 6D :) LOVE IT! LOVE IT LOVE IT!! If you're interested in the printer, you can find it at Amazon (CLICK the image below) In Singapore, you can find it at MS Color or Passion Gadgets, both at a reasonable price :)

I went cafe hopping and collected a bunch of PRETTY AND AWESOME Business cards. I slot them into some handmade DIY business card page protectors . Guess what did I use? RIGHT, the WRMK fuse tool! It was a little bit of a fusing to get the size right, but it's totally worth it !

I bought some Midori accessories like the craft file folder. You can make your own following some templates or simply using the silhouette :) I was feeling lazy after making the page protector, washi book, watercolor book and sticker book. Haha!

Somemore stamping :)

Thanks for stopping by. I will be sharing more projects with the Fauxdori/Midori Travelers Notebook in the coming months :) Till next time, Ciao!

LOAD 214 - Late wrap up Part 1

I join Lain Ehman in February with 400 other ladies this year, scrapbooking one layout a day!I managed to plough through the entire month and crank out more than 28 pages! I didn't do all 12x12 , instead I do smaller size in the busier days,for example i di the 6x8 handbook journal in some days, and I also try to complete my One Little Word (OLW) album taught by Ali Edwards  (This class is awesome! You can still join it now!) I also do some Project Life pages . (If you are not sure about Project Life, check out Becky Higgins Website here! )

So here are the layouts I created in the first 2 weeks (still creating mainly 12x12 traditional layout )

Thank you for stopping by :)
