yesterday, I loved that. today I love this.

 

Fall is here.

 

Deep shades of this seasonal colors often attempt me to sprinkle them on my layout, but the only problem is that they're not my favorite color shades... I prefer my works have lighter look. Maybe that's just because I am not familiar with deeper shades than my beloved. It is just a matter of favor. Sometimes I feel obliged to work with some not familiar colors and materials(nobody forces me to do of course,) but it is not as easy as writing on here.

 

However colors(not my favorite though) that vitalize a flat layout are always welcomed! Double complementary color effect made in here agitates flat beige mood and adds some energy...

 

Background effect is made by using acrylic paint. Watercolor seems to be the latest fashion in scrapbooking, but there are too many acrylic color tubes sleeping in my drawers. So I just made a foggy look by them. It looks like cotton candy cloud!

 

Again,
I've come up with another my favorite colors and simple design. I love multiple layers and artistic touches added on a layout, but this easy to create-simple layout brings me back to the point where I want to start everything all over again. From this point I can reconfirm myself :

what I really love to do, what I want to record on a layout, what I want to show on a layout!

done!

 

I started making blankets last year, probably end of Oct. and I had made 4till now, so it seems like that I've been making one per a season. Crochet is like a tranquilizer for me at any time. Great medicine to take a step back from worries aches my head! Result is even better.

life right now

 

think finally I've got the best photo shoot spot for my layouts...  good bye to the harsh shadows!

 

 

love vitamine colors.but calm them down just a bit.

I've made quite a lot pages thesedays... and new attempts I've never used before. great fun.

 

 

A card made for the WCMD challenge held at Studio Calico. I don't make cards that much so this is a little awkward but a refreshing work. My beloved color tones are all here :)

 

sequins like salt and pepper!

 

What is a style?

When I go shopping with my friends, sometimes they point towards a window display and say, "that's your style!'. Ok. I know why they say so, but a quiestion pops up from somewher deepest in my mind. Is that what I really want? or just fit to my style habbits?

Frequently I wonder 'what is my style' while working on scrapbooking layouts. Many of  my friends say 'yeah, I knew this is your works', but I just want to ask know how you infer that by what clues.
I think there's a huge gap between 'what I love' and 'what I love to use'. What is the reason make me say I LOVE THAT STYLE?

I made this layout intentionally to break some habbits in styling. It's just a common layout, but I think I made a step forwards. I used to put deep or dark toned colors to press bright colors if there are too many befor, but I refrained this time(photo has been sidelined. :D).
I tried to let background papers and embellishements enjoy their bright and lively mood.

Style habbits mostly came from one's persomality and life. It is interesting to trace where my (grown to) habbits stem from. Is that what I really wanted to be from way back? or is that what an avatar who internalized conditions from outside of me wanted? I am still on the journey to find real me. Since there is no one scold 'what you want is not right', I'd have no fear.

gosh,

Another influenza virus has attacked me again!

uhm... that's too threatening.

just a cold. or flu, whatever its real name is, that common but annoying thing.

 

I did this last night with SC's september kit, which arrived Sep 20th. Pity that I'm international. And brand new Oct kit will be released soon...

Schumann, piano quintet in E-flat Major Op. 44

 

this is the best medicine for me today...

one day in the life of the YOUNGs

I entitled this layout from the One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovicgh(such a tough novel to read for me). Thesedays I love to use colors that remind me of autumn- especially these calm tones!

 

Seems like my sewing machine exists for paper, not for fabric

 

I'm thrilled when I found new usages of  colors that I haven't used quite a lot before... it is like saving new color grammar somewhere in my memory deep in the mind(no brain! because colors always evoke various feelings. Feelings and impressions sleep in mind, I believe).
