Altered Albums from Franc Franc ....
It's the altering season. Hahah.. totally having fun with altering various things. Now... the photo albums!!! Tadaaaaa. Personalised christmas gift ideas.
A-clay is fun!!!
Look at my creation, based on memory of what I see at the store. I did not buy the animal set, hence, got to create out of imagination. What do you think?
Giraffe with no ears!!!

Altered Photo Frame as Thank you gift!!
I altered this photo frame that I got from Ikea for a colleague of mine. She made a lovely cake (see the photo below) for my son. I hope she opens a bakery soon and display this frame in it. By the way, the photo frame is inspired by a display at local scrapbook store.
It's holiday time!!! Get ready your suitcases!
Recently, I went to a scrapbooking class, altering suitcases. Altered 3 suitcases in all, S, M and L. Then, I went crazy over altering suitcases and decided to make them for my friends as Christmas Pressies. Haha.

Suitcase 3: For Myself...
However, done with 1 side. Hahah, to be continued.
No more Lomo for me... Or I am at Lomo pace.
It's been so so long since I had last written here. Probably I'm at the 'Lomo' pace. Well, decided to give up my Lomo cam, as I realised that I totally had no time to develop the photos and fuse them with my scrapbooking projects. I guess I would wait till I have the luxury of time to Lomo... ...
The good news is old "hobbies" die hard. I am back to scrapbooking again. Within a short span of 2 months, I finished a fair bit of altered art for my friends. Here you go...
Project 1: Mini Accordion Album.
After a long break, I missed scrapping and decided to watch youtube videos for inspiration. This is my first set of artwork since my absence, 3 mini accordion album from 3 sheets of 12" by 12" patterned. This is simple to make and is especially good as gifts for friends. Make these into a little book of quotes by writing the quotes on the tags and on the pages to inspire others. They looked so cute, I love them. You can also leave this as a table display by just leaving it on your work desk. I had so much fun making them.
Project 2: Treat boxes.
Moving on, I watched another video on youtube to make lil' treat boxes for a party. You can use this to decorate the party table or hang them up as decor.
Project 3: Altered Tin Box for my sister!!!
My sister got a white tin box as a wedding favour. And I was like 'shall I try to transform it?' And here it is. Used Washi tape to do most of the transformation.
Project 4: More altered tin boxes!!!
Got addicted to altering tin boxes after Project 3. Kekeke. Hence, I altered the tin boxes that used to contain my brads and other embellishments. I am so pleased. I guessed these required less time to make, that's why I like it.

Time flies... ... ... ...
Life passes by real rapidly over the last three weeks.
My motivation.
Just stopped along the path, take a deep breath and check out the date, it's already October 2010. Only 1 month away from my Kyushu trip. This trip has been the 'talk' of the year between my dear friend Carol and me. The planning, coordinating work, collecting of payments is all finally coming to an end in less than 40 days' time. Kyushu - the motivation that has driven Carol and me, kept our passion alive. We, Carol and I, are so looking forward to the trip. Together, we want to make great memories. With those who are coming along with us, an unforgettable one too.
Fish ‘feeding’ frenzy.
After we put the first capsule of the pellets into the pond at Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG), we decided that the fishes were just too hungry and that we needed to give them more. This marks the beginning of our family's fish ‘feeding’ frenzy episode. Still wondering if this is an ‘okay’ thing to do in this seemingly over-populated pond. I will find out more before this gets out of hand...
Lomography. “Don’t Think, Just Shoot”. It's lomo-lomo time!!!
www.lomography.com states that lomography is all about having fun while taking good pictures. Check out the 10 golden rules to help you lomo.
*scratch head* I thought all we need to do is to just shoot? What is considered good? Is it important to know what a good picture is? Do we really need golden rules??? Hmmm ... guess the rules probably help you to think out of the 'square' (the viewfinder). Kekeke.
Well, this is my newly taken up hobby to top up my love for scrapping. I wonder what I can do to marry scrapbooking with lomo-lomo. Took out my very first lomo-cam and tried taking some shots yesterday. However, one has to be patient in this lomo-lomo world. Firstly, you have to finish the entire roll of film in your lomo-cam. Pictures then take lomo-lomo time to be processed the lomo-lomo way, before they appear as 'lomograph' (photographs taken by lomo-cam???).
The lomo-lomo way is to send the film to the photo labs and get them processed into negatives, then you can decide if you would want the pictures to be developed into 3R or 4R hardcopies or etc. And finally, I guess the 'lomograph' will be ready for their marriage with the scrapbook.
Now, I'm only half-way into the roll. Hence, I will only be able to see them in probably another few weeks time. If all of them turned out overexposed / all black, would they be considered good pictures? Hahaha... I should think so right. The lomo experts say 'just shoot' ya?
Jacob Ballas Children's Garden
Found this really nice garden for my little girl who is already wobbling her way around our legs. She loves the suspension bridge in the garden so much such that we have to drag her away with her wailing at her highest note. She is especially happy when the entire bridge goes into oscillations. Hahaha. This garden is a really nice place for little children who are eagerly waiting to explore and examine things around them. Many activity centres are built in such a way that they are just at these kiddies’ eye level and reach. We have all decided that we would want to come back again. We simply fell in love with this place.
