I've been taking a break from travel layouts and wanting to catch up on capturing moments from our dailiness (see last post). Since deciding not to do the 365 project this year, I've taken significantly less photos (gasp!) and dh and I are thinking we're missing something here. (sob!) I have been jotting down stories & moments that I want to scrap, but some are 'pictureless' :( But whatever, I am determined to add them to my scrapbooks!
Like, just yesterday, I had one of these moments, when I was at our shared computer, and Ryan wanted to play games on it, while waiting for me, I let him (or he let me) snuggle and sit on my lap (he was heavy) for long enough while I got him to watch Katrina's video (see last post) with me !!!!!! PRICELESS. I think he understood and felt some of the sentiments she was talking about, that these are how I feel as I watch him grow up. At the point in the video where she talks about her sons leaving home for college, I gasped as I remembered Ryan will have a year of boarding in Year 5 (he's in year 1 now) - to which he calmly replied, "Mom don't worry, I'll be back in year 6." I hugged him tight and wanted to say that being back in year 6 doesn't help the fact that you're going to be away for the whole of year 5(!) but simply thought, how steady and independent he has become. :) No photos for this moment, but need to capture!!
Happily, I did these two layouts this week - in the simple linear style which is so much easier and faster (did not make templates of them since they are so simple, but if you like to have them, let me know)
It's Ryan learning how to tie his school tie from his dad, and then Jared also wanting to get into the action (doing the men thing) I just loved watching them....
Have you been capturing your daily moments? Link us to some of your layouts!
And now thanks to Rheanne I realised that Templates 146 & 147 (which were contributions to The Digi Files 8 of Oct 2009) were not packaged for the store. I must have forgotten.
I do love your templates! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeletewhat lovely memories... your children are lucky that you keep them and will love to look back years from now!
ReplyDeleteI love your templates. They are clean and simple and you can fit many pictures on them. I take a ton of pictures so a layout w/ just one picture is almost a waste of time for me since I have so little time to scrapbook w/ anyway. Thank you so much for your templates as they make scrapping a little easier and let me get done more in the time I have.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave in the DigiFree category today [16 Apr 02:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to one of your templates at a crop a couple of years ago, and using it made up two of my favourite layouts! Came by for some inspiration today, and you didn't disappoint! Thank you for the freebies, and for stocking your store with so many wonderful choices!
ReplyDeleteLove your templates! Thank you so much for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThank you for being such an inspiration and for the wonderful templates that help me scrap faster.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful templates. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say I love your layouts. I've gone all the way to before Christmas. You have inspired me to create some double page layouts (I'm intimidated by those) and order them in a photobook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your world and your work.
Thank you Yin, I just love your templates, they are great for making photobooks out of. I also love Singapore, I had a wonderful week there a few years ago and I am determined to go back at some stage. thank you for all the wonderful layouts.
ReplyDeleteYour templates are so creative & I adore them. And thank you for sharing these special layouts from your life with us.
ReplyDeleteYou are inspiring and you totally help others with your templates!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the new goodies!!!
Your templates are my favorites! Thank you for sharing them so generously!
ReplyDeleteFabulous templates. Great blog too. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your free templates!! I visited the sale this weekend and I think I bought all of them from the store that I hadn't purchased last year...loved the coupon! I think I got at least 40 new templates. I've been using them to scrapbook my niece's first year of life, which I'm printing into a 12x12 book at Shutterfly (well, realisticly it will probably be 2 volumes!).
ReplyDeleteYours was the first template I ever tried. Made getting into digi scrapping super easy! Somedays when I have nothing to do I can finish a layout (sometimes 2) during naptime at school. As I revive my blog, I'll try to upload some of the pages I've completed. Thanks again! And may God bless you richly :)
Hi Yin!!
ReplyDeleteI've posted some more pages, if you're interested :-) ... I have a ton more, I'm just trying to pace myself for my blog readers *GRIN*.
Hope that life is treating you kind ... God bless!!

Thank you so much! I love your templates, your style. I think you are very talented. Can you let me know what fonts do you use on your templates? Thank you in advance. Gizelle
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing your work
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for your fabulous free templates. I am a stay at home mom, so time and money can be a challenge to find.
ReplyDeleteI recently started working on a scrapbook for my son. There is no way I would be nearly as far on it as I am if it wasn't for you. Your templates have been the core that has gotten me through.
I can't wait to get it finished, and I cannot thank you enough. You have done half the work (or more!) Keep up the marvelous work.
I'm a new digi scrapper after years of paper, and one of my digi friends (okay, my only digi friend! :) ) referred me to your site. THANK YOU for the fabulous templates and info!! I very often scrapped 2-pgers in paper, but hadn't found many 2-pg templates for digi. I look forward to working with your templates. Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing!! :) Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all the time and effort you put into sharing you talent with all of us. Your templates are great, your pages are wonderfully scrapped, and I am sure you and your family will enjoy them for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI am relatively new to digi-scrapping but wanted to link over to my gallery of life moments. Like you I want my little girl to be able to look back at memories she can't necessarily remember and still know what happened...if that makes sense.
My everyday layouts are located at: https://scrappindigikreations.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=580
Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful template - thank you very much!

Hi Yin! I just found your blog yesterday when I was browsing around on digiscrapdepot and found your templates. Finally, MY kind of scrapper! I would never get anywhere with layouts that have space for 1 photo per page - I take way too many photos! Thanks so much for your freebies and sharing your layouts, what a blessing!
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate your talent and your generosity.
ReplyDeletethanks for share with us. God bless you! I love your templates.
ReplyDeleteThank you for those lovely templates!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to watch our children grow up. My 10yo son told us he would be going away to college. I said, "You're going to leave me?" He said, "Mom, I'm supposed to leave home when I go to college." *sigh*
Thank you very much! I really appreciate you sharing these templates with us!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to point out that on your layout of "Only Daddy can" that it says 50% Techer. I don't know if you meant it to be that way or if it is supposed to be Teacher. Just wanted to let you know in case you missed it. And if you didn't miss it, then ok then. :) Thanks again!
Thank you for the nice Template
