after: coloured embellishment with
Pelikan Plaka matte paint

before: wood embellishment

I struggle with making this layout mainly due to colour coordination with the patterned paper. The MME Lucky In Love kit set papers are mostly very 'busy' and I ended up pulling out stacks upon stacks of all my MME papers to find the coordinating colour. I think I spent almost two days for that.

I bought this wood embellishment from a cheap D.I.Y shop and love the simple design. I coloured it with Pelikan Plaka paint which I bought 3 or 4 years ago..(never know why I bought them in the first place besides the reason being they were on highly discounted price during warehouse sale..lol..!)

Picture of my son having his ice-cream which came free with some KFC meal set purchase. He enjoyed it till to the very last drop.

I love these two photos of my son. He's 3 years old at his kindy's sports day. How time flies. I could not remember how he really looks like but luckily, I captured lots of his photos as I carried a small compact digital camera with me most of the time whenever there's an event. 

Done this layout based on PageMaps 2014 January sketch. Instead of using one large photo, I cut out two photos and put them together. I hardly have any purple colour patterned paper to match my son's uniform but I used DCWV purple glitter card stock for the word CUTE and punched out several shapes as embellishment to tie up the colour scheme. I love the DCWV stack. The paper is very thick as compared to other brands.
