P2D: Banquet

I got inspired again. This time by a page which (admittedly) isn’t a traditional paper layout, but it still inspired to do a scraplift. (Of course not without my own modifications to give it my own style and stamp.)

Here’s the page that I found:

 

 

And here’s my own page I did, using Lliella Designs’ Asian themed “Oishii” kit:

 Sula-130716

As you can see, I added a few more clusters, switched out the positions for journaling and titles, and thus made this page my very own. Why don’t you go and find yourself a layout (from the paper scrapping world) and turn it into a beautiful digi-page of your own making?

End-of-the-Year Banquet

One of the highlights of the year for the foreign faculty is supposed to be the end-of-the-year-banquet to thank all teachers for their hard work. I guess this year’s highlight was that the food only lasted for the first half of those who lined up. (Talking about “banquet” here.) Unfortunately, I was one of the latter half of those lined up, in other words, I was one who didn’t get much food except a bit of leftovers (no more than I would get for a normal dinner).

But then, I got to be one of those who were allowed to line up early for the dessert. It’s a small comfort, isn’t it?

“Find Joy” is the kit that I’ll begin sharing with you next, so make sure you stop by again to start collecting the parts.

By the way, do you like what you’re getting here? Well, I’m sure others would, too. So, why don’t you go tell others on twitter, Facebook, your blog, pinterest and send people this way for them to enjoy these freebies as well? (Older freebie kits are also still available for download.)

At any rate, now that you’ve finished collecting all the parts for “Summer Morning,” it’s time to get you scrapping with this freebie. Don’t forget to leave a link to your finished projects in the comments. And all I have left is to wish you happy scrapping, and happy Friday!

Hope on the Horizon

Something exciting happened today. Well, something like this isn’t usually exciting. Actually usually it’s rather boring. But if you’ve seen my recent post “Some Dreadful News” you know that having to go get our visas processed is some really exciting news, because there’s hope that I might actually be able to travel home this summer as planned. That is, if I can get my passport (including residence permit) back on time. But today we got to take the first step at least, and with that, at least one part of this huge hurdle has been taken. And now, another wait begins …

By the way, you must forgive the bad quality of this photo. I wasn’t going to draw the attention of any of the guards when trying to take this pic (you don’t want to get into trouble with that department when you depend on them getting you your passport back on time). So, I tried to be as sneaky about it as I could, hence a really quick snapshot!
