Nothing but scrap!

I was inspired to do a layout using sketch #72 from Pencillines. Here's my take:

(Patterned paper: October Afternoon, Making Memories; Die-cut , glitter paint & brad: Making Memories; Photo corner: Daisy D's; Chipboard letters: Heidi Swapp; Buttons: Autumn Leaves; Ribbon: May Arts; Rhinestone: Kaiser Crafts; Pen: Staedler; Others: Stickles & DMC thread)

See how serious I look in this picture? nyahaha.. That's just for show..

Have a great week ahead!

Because I get to scrap all day!

It's baby's field trip to the zoo!
So I did a little practicing with my camera with what I know so far from reading the user manual. I was actually advised to practice taking pictures of flowers so that I can get a feel of the settings of the camera. Despite the sweltering heat in the zoo, I actually enjoyed the day taking photos.
Enjoy the spring flowers!

Say hello to the new addition to our family, Terrence Jaden. Nope, he's not mine.. He's my brother's third son.. He's so adorable!

This is my current world... Just sharing...

Yes I've wanted to buy a DSLR for the longest time and I am happy that finally I was able to purchase one.. What makes this buy really sweet is that I bought it with my hard earned money - katas ng OFW baga.. It's really a good thing that SIN has the best priced technology equipments/gadgets in Asia Pacific (at least I think so!). From what I know this model in Manila will cost about PHP35K (around SGD1250) for the kit.. This kit I bought ataround PHP25k. Prior to purchasing, it was actually a toss up between the D80 and D40x, but after reading reviews and forums, for a newbie like me, the D40x fitted my needs and budget. I also bought a filter, extra battery and a 2gb card to get me started. The shop owner in Funan was very helpful in giving me tips. He actually took the time to make sure I made the right purchase - making me choose from a Canon 350D and D40x. Canon is actually more expensive (like almost SGD200+ more) and the generic lenses, like Tamron etc, can be used with Canon.. But I like the body and sleekness of Nikon. Right now, I am still tweaking with the 18-55mm lens from the kit, but hopefully once I've mastered the manual settings, I'd be able to upgrade to a better lens. It's just now I'm realizing that the camera purchase doesn't really end with the camera alone 'coz now I have to buy baby's accessories like a cleaning kit, bag, dry case, CD's for the photos I've taken (unless I want my laptop to crash).. Hay.. Kayod-kayod..
But I am happy!
