A LO on Shape Run 2008

Did this for a challenge, or rather contest in Creative Scrappers Forum.

It's for a No Title LO contest and based on a sketch by Kristine.

I thought it would be worth a try since I've never done a LO without a title!

Creating a "garden" of buttons. And attempting to layer them!

My journalling on recycled strips of the bottom of the PP (blank flip side). Idea was courtesy of Ed and Renoa (Groovie Gals)

I played with MM Passport 12 x 12 Die Cut Stamp, Hamblys, K.I Memories Bloom PP and some items from Scarlet Lime's June Kit. Actually the papers from a mix from Scarlet Lime's June and July kit except for the Hamblys =)

Buttons, well, they are my own =P

TFL!

*******************************************

I did the SHAPE run on July 20th 2008. My 1st Shape run. (Thought of doing it before Dave and I plan to conceive a #2 =P)

I didn't quite prepare myself physically for it as I did for Aware women's run last year (thanks to Abbott - I was on their Reductil programme).

I clocked about 46min this time round. Considered a feat for me as I've not been exercising for many moons!!!!

Dave and I were just dicussing about #2, when would be an ideal time for us to "deliver" the baby. I mean, all these are just plans, but at the end, we commit them to our Lord and Maker. As we are in the midst of walking out of our "Egypt" and nearing our Promise Land, we thought perhaps a June/July baby would be nice. =)

So with that.... I signed up for another run with my gf. The Great Eastern Run - 10km.

It's a whopper isn't it? But I'm determined to at least achieve a 10km run in this life time, before conceiving #2 and future brood of little Chans.

I'm not much of a runner actually.

It's just that, I want to push myself, to prove to myself that I can actually do this long-distance thingy, whether I like running or not.

It's actually quite therapeutic....but the challenge? Getting started to train physically for it!!!

LOL!

I'm better off sitting on my bum and scrap away!

But, I need to do this for myself, for my health and for my family.

What about you? Is there anything or goals that you want to achieve in this lifetime?

Share it with me!

Completed 3 LOs

###Updated at 9.30pm ###

It was a fruitful Friday evening/Saturday for me.

Managed to do 2 LOs with the Groovie {Comfort of Scrapbooking} kit (which I got in June)

I've finally found the right pictures to use with the kit.

1st LO:

{Bubble Fun}

Upclose shot of the rounded photos. I don't own any stickles, so I used the crayola pastel-colored Glitter Glue (Acid-free of course). Gives the look like each circle photo look like some bubbles from his bubble wand.

Using my AC thickers, I formed the word "Bubble" into a round circle like a bubble.

2nd LO:

{family rules}

Created this LO using a Sketch Contest from Creative Scrappers.com (Under Donna's Sketch)

For this LO, I used Glimmer Mist Turqoise Blue as the bottom layer on white CS, and I recycled my portion of K.I Laced CS (I used it for a previous project) by using it as a mask for the 2nd layer of Glimmer Mist Coffee Shop color.

I love the effect. It's much better than paints.

After which, I went about with the LO to try to follow the sketch as much as possible.

Journalling as usual:

3rd LO:

{Family Time}

Using Ed's August Sketch for Groovie Cafe.

I've yet again used Glimmer mist on this LO. Can you tell where? =P I've doodled all around the LO. This is so Jasmine-inspired. LOL!

Jasmine is the resident doodle queen at MWL whom I attended her Beautiful Mess Workshop last October. Her LOs are always so fun to look at and she's got a real talent for doodling!

Journalling on this LO:

July 19 2008.

We decided to go catch the aerial display of the NDP'08 (National Day Parade) rehearsal. Daren was giving out kisses while waiting.

Hope you like the layouts for this week =)

TFL!
