Good Times

 I have not been participating in International National Scrapbooking Day or iNSD, for a long time. Since the FB private group "Bash Your Stash Challenge is organising an iNSD, I decided to participate. The main goal for the various challenges is to use up scraps from stash, and all the papers and ephemeras collected over the years but never used, for some reason. For my first iNSD layout I created one that uses the tiny scraps. It really is great to be able to declutter my scraps stash. I hope so. 

I used an old photo for the project and this was a group photo of our final Team Building project for Facilities Management. At the time rumours flew around that FM will be disbanded and outsourced. The staffs from Petronas will no longer be seconded to Exxon and the Exxon staffs will be given the VSS. This was the best times we had.

Here is the layout 1 for #byssnsd2021.

Supplies used:
American Crafts Cardstock
Core Coredination Cardstock
Kaisercraft Embellies
Scraps of papers from various brands
Rosie's Studio Sticker for Titles

These are the scraps used. The before photo

Chase Adventure

This layout is created for Kraft+ challenge - Torn Paper. As always it was done at the last minute. I do like how it turn out though.

I decided to use my old photo that was taken when were in Korea in 2015. I plan to create an album of our trip to Jeju Island and Seoul.

The reason I chose this title was a way to encourage my daughter who had been dreaming of going to Korea to never give up on her dreams. When the opportunity arose, I seized the chance and it was the best gift I could give to my daughter and husband. It also was my first and last trip with ExxonMobil, the Company I was working for at the time.

Supplies used: Kraft Paper
Kaisercraft Floral Romance Pattern Paper
DCWC Paper Lace (Doily)
Daiso Handmade Flowers
Handmade Flowers by Asmah (HERE)
Corner Punch
Bazzil Cardstocks (Backing)
Bella Die-cut Pack
Flow (Book for Paper Lovers) - Tag
Paper Boutique
Rosie's Studio (Title)

Staycation Projects - Mix and Match

 We have already passed the mid-January of 2021. How time flies. Since we are on MCO 2.0, I have been on Homecation as my little sister, Asmah https://qinaahanaartsandcrafts.blogspot.com/. said. What have I achieved for the past 19 days at home? Not much because I have been spending a lot of my time watching Abandoned Places videos. Currently the Broken Window Theory Urban Exploration. Here is one and you can just go to their youtube channel to watch the series. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyaSKmVPHBk

Watching this channel truly evoke mixed feelings in me. The things we work so hard to accumulate, the house we work so hard to purchase, cars, and whatever possessions we had will be abandoned one day and become ruins or become forgotten. I have seen a number of abandoned houses during my travels but I never really pay much attention to them. Until I watch these videos, there are histories related to them. Histories untold or one can take the time to research on them to know more.

After watching each and every episode, I decided to evaluate the things that I have accumulated thus far. Things prior to my marriage that were either handed down to me by my parents or bought, wedding gifts, items bought after marriage, gifts of some kind or freebies that come with good purchased. I am going to re-evaluate and break them up into:

1) Recycle

2) Reuse

3) Resell

4) Trash

I know I have done more than 30 days last year decluttering and reducing stuffs. Along the way I did not do a re-organization and cleaning of the vacant slots created. Today, I am going to show what I did with one cabinet. I shall work my way cabinet to cabinet and hopefully able to reduce more. This is my journey to an Organization and Cleaning Staycation or Homecation during MCO 2.0.
