Monday Highlight: Scrapping Fall with Older Kits

Buying digiscrap kits, I really like to make full use of them. And making full use of them, also means to use them again, for more than just one layout. So, recently, I dug up some of my older kits from my digistash, to scrap some of my more recent fall memories and thoughts. Here’s one page, made with Julie Billingsley’s and Eva Kipler’s “Warm Your Heart,” which unfortunately is no longer available. I only added a few berries from another kit, and a stamped alpha. And this one – a scraplift of a rather simple nature – was made with Julie Billingsley’s “Falling For You.” See? Old, doesn’t mean outdated, or boring; so maybe you also have some older kits in your digistash that are still good for scrapping your memories. Why not check your folders, and see if there’s something that maybe you’ve even forgotten about, but that would make a wonderful new page? You never know – it might be a page like that that makes one of the next standouts …

Culture Week 2011 Day 1: China

The biggest event of the year is here: Culture Week. Every year, for a whole week, our school celebrates the different cultures of the world, and as usual, China makes the start. So, right after lunch I went to check out the square, and look at all the things I found … I have to admit, it still fascinates me to watch Chinese university students get all excited about buying stuff no one really needs, or eating cotton candy, or blowing bubbles, but hey, there’s a child in every one of us, right? By the way, wanna take a look at some real action? Watch this guy: He only needs a couple of seconds for each painting. I guess that’s the way to make money – after all, his paintings sell like hotcakes!
