Simple Little Pleasures

  Whoa, I guess it's been a long time since my last post huh? Well, as they say, there's no time like the present, so here I am, dusting off my beautiful new laptop (yay!) and I'm back to my dear little blog.

  So what have I been up to, you ask? Well, aside from the inevitable final exams, there has been plenty of YouTube, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (the greatest theme park game out there), and of course, scrapbooking! :D

  There's something about scrapbooking that I simply adore. How after what seems to be an eternity playing around with the layout, the background, the accents, the photographs, the keepsakes (ok, I think you guys get the idea), everything just seems to miraculously fall into place. Like that final piece of a jigsaw puzzle. And there you have it: a precious memory immortalised in yet another precious memory.

  Plus, there was plenty of sorting to do. Seemed all of my materials were here there, and simply everywhere! So I bought two adorable draw sets, and began to sort the mess that was my scrapbook box. Though there was a slight itsy bitsy problem: the draws didn't contain dividers for the little accents... Fortunately for me, at the same time, my Mom was sorting the kitchen cupboards, and she happened to chance upon a pack of cupcake papers!! Well, a plan formed in my mind that moment, a plan to use those cupcake holders to store all my little beads, sequins and other sweet little memories.

  I even created a couple a greetings cards.  I just sat down one morning, and by the next day, there they were: two sweet little cards just in need of an occasion.  One of the two I made was a thank you card for my teachers, which is posted below.  I hope you guys all like them as much as I do, little comments are always appreciated.

I was so incredibly pleased how this design turned out :D
And the inside of the card :D

Well, till next time, hasta luego my friends.
