San Francisco

Nita says, Kaya!

This is what excites me about Kaya, every month there's always new challenges which pushes me to scrap in ways I would have otherwise not explored. I am compelled to try out new techniques and am most of the times pleased with the outcome. Don't get me wrong though, almost everytime a new challenge is posted, I always feel I may not rise up to the occassion. I am left stumped for days on end, but eventually a spark of inspiration would motivate me to try. Thank you, Nina, for giving me the opportunity to grow a bit more this month.



Hidden Journaling Reads: It was supposed to be a family trip but for Alain and I, it felt like a long-overdue honeymoon. Out of all the places we went to, San Francisco is the one place we held dearest to our heart. We both adore the quaint rows of houses, sloping streets, cable cars, picture windows with a cat perched on it drinking in the sun and its beautiful, cold weather. It felt like we were both transported back in time and we were like the cat drinking in every minute of it. Even now, whenever I close my eyes, I can almost smell the cinnamon and orange-peel potpourri which permeates the hallway of the Cartwright Hotel where we stayed in. We both yearn to come back someday, just the two of us to rekindle our romance with San Francisco and fall in love with each other all over again.

Hey, whaddayaknow... this time, it ain't a scraplift. Could it be that I am growing into a bolder scrapper? Naahhh, it's just one of those days when everything seems to click and all the embellies matches. I wish I could be as lucky each time. One thing I did notice though, this group is growing into a vibrant community and all you talented ladies are helping to motivate and inspire me to be a better scrapper. Thank you, everybody :D
