Let's Scrap DT challenge - Ombre

This is my take on Andrea's DT challenge169 over at Let's Scrap - Theme is Ombre. I'm pretty sure it would have been a lot MORE easier if I had just used distress inks or pure misting on the background. So I challenged myself to use washi tape instead. It's not a very smooth color blend but I'm glad to have tried this. Basically there were more than 10 strips of washi tapes (2-3layers) and that little sweet sentiment die cut was sent to me by a local scrapper when I purchased something from her. Do drop by Let's Scrap , play along and have fun!

This is one of the travel photos of me at Mirabell-platz in Salzburg, a decade ago.

Random Layout - CSI #84

This is the take on CSI #84. Evidences that I have in my layout includes, anchor, circles, textured paper, fabric and twine. My testimony is based on inspirations from dream.write.explore.  My eldest has his own moments, his own dreams. And if I were to ask him to intepret this picture, I think he would probably said, I don't know what I am thinking. This photo was taken at Taiping zoo, in Malaysia when he's just about 3years old, with his paternal grandparents. I was in another part of the tram with my husband and baby #2. I supposed he's not really looking at the camera. This priceless photo of him looking straight in daze, leaves me an impression that he's frozen in time, in his own world. He might have been looking at the animals, I don't know. And it has been 2years since, like what the inspiration from the testimony says, take every opportunity we can and cherish every memory, every scent, every sound, every feeling  we get. Because one day, we won’t have it anymore. I'm glad to be able to capture sweet face... oh how adorable that face with the pout when he's in his own world wondering and dreaming away.

Random Layout - CSI #83

This is my take on CSI challenge #83.  Back in 2001, I travelled to Munich with my cousin. We did a side trip out on one of the days. It was a 10hour coach trip that took us to Linderhof and Neuschwanstein castles. Known for their elaborate construction and world-famous architecture, these two extraordinary structures were dreamed up by Germany's own Ludwig II, also known as the Swan King. The coach also took us to Oberammergau. We had a 1/2hour stopover at this village. This photo is taken at the charming village which is well known for Passion Play which takes place every 10years since 1634. What struck me was the village has potted planters in most of the buildings and that made the place really pretty. And most buildings have the religious murals on their outer walls. Evidences that I have includes labels, tags, travel accents, stamps, circles, grid pattern and ledger pattern. The testimony includes use of a stamped journaling spot and document a journey.
