Handmade Planner

Few days ago I found an old note book. I thought of just dumping that kiddy old notebook into the trash but then again it would be quite a waste as it was not used at all!!

So I decided to embark on a project of re-creating my very own personalized monthly planner. I was thinking of a collage style!

Step 1:

• cut out pictures for my collage motiv from old magazines
• got a cool black and white floral motiv wrapping paper as base
• selected out some deco paper from the bouquets of flowers I got from my Boyfriend (p/s: I placed the dried up flowers in a NICE vase and I asked permission from my Boyfriend before using the bouquet papers)
• found some old little paper flower decos
• cut out some newsprint papers that had some kinda brownish stains
• printed out my monthly planner pages too!! (p/s: I told ya i wanted it PERSONALIZED)
• got out my design paper punchers, scissors, glue stick & double sided tape

The Props:~

 

 

Step 2:

• wrap the old note book with the wrapping paper
• and start designing your book with the magazine cut-outs, the deco papers, the little paper flowers, punch some designs and just USE FREELY YOUR CREATIVITY!!!
• ITS DONE!!!
• Take pictures of it!
• Blog it!

My 3rd Year Ended

My 3rd year in BCM has just ended. All that stress from assignments, work, duties have all come to a sudden halt. Yesterday was the finale of the year- the Graduation Exercise. For as much as I feel happy for the graduates, I’m always asking myself when will be my turn? how will it be like?…. Anyway the day passed smoothly. I gave my best on the key board. It may be the last time for me to be able to play at the graduation exercise since i wil be part-time next year or maybe graduating next year. I was glad I gave my best.

the past few days before the graduation exercise was full of events, happening, work and more work. Besides the much things that needed to be done, much things i learned, seen, and realized too. In terms of the people around me, my self, my peers etc…. it was rather interesting as well as saddening at times.

One of the treasured times this week was the evening with 4 other girlfriends. We hung out at Midvalley, ate at dominos and had a good time to really talk like we seldom do, laugh which we almost never did for a long time, and pamaper our taste buds. Interestingly WE DIDN’T SHOP!! it was a worthwhile time of sharing and bonding. I really enjoyed that evening!

 

Now i’m sitting here in the church office. It’s the first day of the holidays. Sometimes its hard to cope with no work, no college, too free…. LOL…..
