Brimming with Life

Gosh, I just noticed it's been 18 days since my last post! Glad to report that it is because life has been very full, had more commitments recently and scrapping and blogging just had to take a back seat. I usually blog on weekends, and the past few had been taken up with dh's workplace family day, my church's community day, my sunday school's youth camp fund raising food fair (my beef stew was very successful, yay!) and time spent at Alpha course with a dear friend.

Another point of note this past week is the wonderful phenomenon of Ryan's changing voice. It's been a point of debate in my family. I think his voice 'broke', but my mom and my dh think he is having a sore throat, and it's been quite exciting and unbelievable for us, (after all, he's only eleven!), but he himself is perplexed with our reactions, wondering what the fuss is all about. lol!

Oh yeah, and dh and I went to the movies to watch mama mia, what a romp we had!! Such fun and we laughed till we cried, not to mention singing along most of the way.. dh kept murmuring "James Bond is singing!.." and I kept going " and Darcy is dancing!!!" lol. We had a blast! I think I have an old cassette tape of Abba songs somewhere....

I myself hadn't much time to scrap, and seem to be low on inspiration (hope it's temporary!), so only have one page to show, this is from the last stop on our US trip, in Orlando, you'd be seeing park layouts from now on, haha! Thought I'd try something different to spice things up a bit for me. It's still great fun reliving the trip as I scrap, of course. Great conversation starters with my boys too!




This template will be available in the store soon And thank you ALL for your wonderful, wonderful words and comments, keeps me going, luv y'all!

  17. I love your templates!!!

    But...how can the two-page templates be printed? I've tried uploading them to make a book on "Scrapbooks Please" and I can't separate the pages!

    Sorry for the question in your comments. But I really would love to print!!

    You do fantastic work!!

  18. Yin, you are so awesome! I just love the layouts you create and the templates you share are so generous.
    I'm sure you've covered it somewhere but the comment about how to separate the pages...I just save my whole layout as is, then I use my crop tool and cut it in half to 12 X 12 and save it as A. then I open original back up and crop the other side out and save as B.
    Thanks so much for the freebie!!

  21. Hi Yin -
    Thanks for the new template. . . I download & buy every thing you make. It makes my scrapping life so much more enjoyable. In my absentmindedness, I assumed you released 2 new templates to the store with this post, so I jumped over & bought the latest ones, only to realize that these were the same ones I bought in early September. It was totally my fault for not looking, but is there anyway I can apply that money to the next templates you release? I would really appreciate it. If you need me paypal info to check, you can just email me & I will send it to you.

    Thanks!
