Here's wishing you and your family the very best of everything.<br />
<br />
I just sent 2 photobooks for printing at Shutterfly. One is my 2012 2H and the other is my Project 365- 2012.<br />
I still dislike Shutterfly in some way. I have to manually remove "Vivid picture" effect from the uploaded photos and when I do so, I have to remove the auto-crop one photo by one photo. Totally killing the exciting mood of creating a photobook and clicking "Order"!<br />
However, I'm still sticking with it because it prints 8X8, delivers to Singapore and colour is reasonably good. <br />
<br />
And here's a template for you, made from the page I did for my <a href="http://autumnheartz.blogspot.sg/2010/08/melbourne-part-1.html" target="_blank">Melbourne trip</a> 2 years ago.<br />
I have been really lazy in 2012 in terms of templates, so I hope I will find time to make more templates this new year. <br />

<br />
I haven't even have time to bake recently because most of my weekends are filled with dance classes - West Coast Swing and Tango. Somehow, the dance genes are not in me... while others groove and sway to the music like it's the most natural thing to do, I struggle to even keep up with the rhythm.<br />
Anyway, let's see how it goes.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, have fun with these 2 templates!<br />

<br />
I'm sorry this post is so over due.<br />
I was on a work trip in Paris for about 10 days, a week before Christmas and when I'm back, everything just seem to be in a "daze"... jetlag, Christmas season, clearing annual leave etc.<br />
<br />
Also, I started a "journey" on making macarons.<br />
The lack of success is so frustrating that I wasn't spending much time on scrapbooking except for my 365-project (which I just sent out to print at <a href="http://www.photobooksingapore.com/" target="_blank">Photobook</a>... no more Shutterfly!).<br />
<br />
So one thing at a time...<br />
<br />
Winter in Paris...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNZR82ZnDOScjF1DY1ogLCwEpXGM3iI7GDs0t9Min-J1JxB7fwbosiirhaAux_Wlz7hf6Qjhmf-sug3rTAmjzCGkXaV5NdKCRoN1emsVqNfO7R-8tYtNcmK1wcW_tXnxIu-H1YhufI9w/s1600/201112C1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNZR82ZnDOScjF1DY1ogLCwEpXGM3iI7GDs0t9Min-J1JxB7fwbosiirhaAux_Wlz7hf6Qjhmf-sug3rTAmjzCGkXaV5NdKCRoN1emsVqNfO7R-8tYtNcmK1wcW_tXnxIu-H1YhufI9w/s640/201112C1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
And unsuccessful macarons...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I can write a long blog post about this but I will save it for the time when I'm finally successful.<br />
I used to say "it's not about the destination but the journey", but after 10 batches of failed macarons, I'm not so sure anymore. LOL!<br />
(But I guess if these 10 batches gets me to 95% success rate in future, it's not so bad afterall!)<br />
<br />
Shuttefly has bombed me with lots of discount codes this season and I was tempted to give it a try again.<br />
But it drove me crazy with its "scrapbooker-unfriendly" interface.<br />
First I have to remove the "vivid colour enhancement, which is not so bad because it's just 1 click for all 60 pages.<br />
Then, I have to remove the "auto-crop" one page at a time. C'mon, if I uploaded a square, I would want to print it in square, no?<br />
Then comes the layout, it used to let me set 1 page as full-bleed and then ask if I want the rest of the pages to be changed as well. Not this time. So I had to do it page by page again.<br />
And then the final straw came... the first page cannot be set as a full bleed no matter how I tried. It has to be one of the default layout specific for the first page.<br />
That's it. I closed the page and opened my Photobook application.<br />
<br />
It has a new year promotion of 30%, free shipping for S$60 and above and it takes less than 3 weeks to reach me. I do whatever I want on the application, save the book and then make a "proof" which I can then send online for processing. Uploading of the proof was much faster and payment process is the same as most online carts.<br />
<br />
It's a full 8-inch page (i.e. the book is slightly bigger than 8") and the colours are a little darker than Shutterfly and not as vibrant. But the ease of making the book wins.<br />
I don't know how other scrapbookers manage to survive the new Shutterfly interface (it wasn't like that 2 years back!) and I'm really interested to find out... <br />
<br />
And lastly, here's the latest template for you. Have fun!!<br />

Then again, sometimes simplicity is the best thing in life.<br />
<br />
Started going to pilates and hopefully I will see some results which I want to see.<br />
It's quite an expensive sport, in my opinion...<br />
<br />
Here's my latest template for you.<br />
I hope to make more when I can finally take some days off from work.<br />
The year is coming to an end and I don't feel that I've done much this year.<br />
Another 4 of these years and I will be stepping into the 4s...<br />
<br />
"Alone and likely alone for the rest of my life..."<br />
That's a scary thought, almost ruining a beautiful Saturday morning....<br />
So I shall stop and let you do download the file.<br />

And I really mean CLEAN.<br />
<br />
I have a cleaner who comes over every other Monday to clean the toilet, vacuum + mop the floor, wipe tabletops and iron my clothes. But that's it. She doesn't clean corners and she doesn't wipe anything that does not look dirty (yes, the marble kitchen top that has patterns that camouflage dust) and if it requires removing the display items and then putting them back. (what a lazy ass!)<br />
<br />
So today, I'm going to clean the kitchen, wipe all the shelves and scrutinize corners of all the rooms. <br />
Hopefully, I won't get too tired.<br />
<br />
I've a new template for you. Lots of photos slots again so have fun with it.<br />
<br />

There was 1 night when I returned home from work at 9ish and was so stressed that the first thing I wanted to do, was to fold muffin mix and bake muffins.<br />
Crazy, eh?<br />
<br />
Have experimented a few flavours since and will continue trying.<br />
My colleagues have kindly contributed to a muffin fund so that I can make more and they have priorities to eat them. Haha!<br />

Well, I couldn't find another place that prints reasonably-priced 8*8 hard cover AND ships to SGP so I am still with this (almost) shitty website.<br />
<br />
Well, I already hate that they auto-crop all my squarish scrapbook layouts into photo-sizes. <br />
(I am forced to go through all the images individually to remove the auto-crop.)<br />
Then, they have this custom-path options which make arranging my pages a huge hassle.<br />
<br />
Worse, they screw up BOTH my orders which were made within a week of each other.<br />
<br />
Book 1, there were yellow streaks/patches on almost all my pages and they were very obvious on pages with white/light backgrounds.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZldHl9b7tZHj3of3TlCkHy46zkJyEM9eE2datFiFCwEPzdfpKN-T4lX5XtrVDj5iwf0gwC4mmV1DDQ5eERD5s6x_Rxs-HYGrxOibB0VqEN-kGtjsBQuwf2WaWOXQjRpr_kTbqKdqLU0/s1600/P1010281+copy.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZldHl9b7tZHj3of3TlCkHy46zkJyEM9eE2datFiFCwEPzdfpKN-T4lX5XtrVDj5iwf0gwC4mmV1DDQ5eERD5s6x_Rxs-HYGrxOibB0VqEN-kGtjsBQuwf2WaWOXQjRpr_kTbqKdqLU0/s400/P1010281+copy.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

The bottom of EVERY page has 5mm from another page!<br />
<br />
For the first book, they proceeded to make a reprint without apologising.<br />
For the second book, I was very pissed and demands for a refund. They ask me to print a form and send the book back before they can process the refund 2-4 weeks after receiving it.<br />
<br />
Hello! I'm residing in Singapore. It will cost me at least S$25 to send this book back via registered airmail.<br />
And this book costs S$25! Does it even make sense?<br />
<br />
I'm so pissed off right now.<br />
What's there to boast about 100% customer satisfaction when the solution is to reprint and replace?<br />
Why can't they CHECK the product before shipping? Where is the quality control???<br />
<br />
I need to find a place that prints 8*8 NOW.<br />

<br />
Well, I cheated and used pre-mix so I didn't flop.<br />
However, the brownies are way too sweet for my likings so the folks in office are going to benefit from it tomorrow.<br />
I wonder if I add flour to the pre-mix, they will be less sweet?<br />
Or should I stop being lazy and get all the ingredients and do it from scratch?<br />
Hmmm....<br />

I am thinking of trying cookies next week.<br />
My mum used to make cookies with cornflakes inside when I was a kid and I kinda miss it.<br />
<br />
Here's a new template. Have fun scrapping!<br />

p.s.<br />
I have changed the background layer from the texture file to a plain paint. It seems that this reduce the file size by 90% (from 25mb to 2.5mb!).<br />
Do give me your feedback if you find any problems with the template(s).<br />

<br />
Have been fighting an yeast infection for the past 2 months and I am really in no mood to do anything else.<br />
Been to the gynae more than 4-5 times, taken 2 kinds of medicines, used 2-3 kinds of pessaries but nothing helps. The cream I used stop working and the itch can be really unbearable, not to mention the other uncomfortable/inconvenience symptoms.<br />
<br />
I'm due to see the doctor again next week and I really don't know when is the end.<br />
<br />
Sorry for ranting.<br />
Have a great weekend, and I hope to post a new template soon.<br />

Went to Paris for 10 days in June for work.<br />
The weather was wonderful except for 2 days when it went up to 36 degree celcius.<br />

<br />
For Mac, use <span style="color: red;">Command<span style="color: black;"> or </span>Option</span>; for PC Windows, use <span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> or <span style="color: blue;">Alt</span>.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Zoom</b><br />
<br />
Hold down <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [Spacebar] + click and drag image left (zoom In) or right (zoom out). <br />
I find it really convenient to zoom in and out like this but I think this is for CS5 only.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, use <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [+] to zoom in or + [-] to zoom out without using the mouse or pen. This works for CS3 at least and probably for older CS.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Draw Straight Lines</b><br />
<br />
While moving the mouse/pen, hold down [Shift]. Works with nearly every drawing tool.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3. Move</b><br />
<br />
Every time you are typing your journal or drawing in brush mode but need to move the object/text, it's always a hassle to switch the tool to the Move tool and then back again.<br />
<br />
I do this: Hold down <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> and click and drag to move the object. Release the key and it will switch back to the tool you were using.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Copy layer style</b><br />
<br />
A shortcut for copying a layer style to another layer would be to hold down <span style="color: red;">Option</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Alt</span> and drag the {fx} at the source layer to the target layer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Hide Panels</b><br />
<br />
Use the [Tab] key once to hide the panels and hit [Tab] again to unhide it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>6. Display</b><br />
<br />
I'm not sure if this one works for versions other than CS5 because I accidentally discovered it.<br />
<br />
Press [F] key to change the Screen mode. Keep pressing [F] to scroll through the modes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7. Switch Foreground/Background Colours</b><br />
<br />
Press [X] to quickly switch between the 2 selected colours.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>8. Merge 2 layers</b><br />
<br />
To merge a layer to the layer below, use <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [E].<br />
<br />
Note that {fx} style of the top layer will become part of the image/layer and cannot be modified anymore. However, the {fx} style of the lower level will be retained as a style and can be further modified.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9. Clipping photos to photomat</b><br />
<br />
I use this the most: <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [G] to clip my photo to a photomat.<br />
<br />
However, I've personalised the [G] to [Q] because I find it easier to press <span style="color: red;">Command</span> with my thumb and [Q] with my ring-finger instead of pressing <span style="color: red;">Command</span> with my pinky finger and [G] with my middle finger.<br />
<br />
p.s. Note that <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [Q] is the default keyboard shortcut for quitting. Since I never use a keyboard shortcut to quit, it is not a big deal for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10. Transform</b><br />
<br />
Another keyboard shortcut that I use all the time is <span style="color: red;">Command</span>/<span style="color: blue;">Ctrl</span> + [T] which is to activate the transformation mode for various form of resizing.<br />

(And I equally surprised that only 1 commented it after 140 downloads).<br />
<br />
I've rectified it (by looking for an old version in my time machine).<br />
Here it is!!<br />

Since the Applecare warranty is up, I decided to get a new one, this time 17".<br />

<br />
I have everything migrated and set up but still have not install CS5.<br />
I got it via an Education promotion and have trouble receiving the serial number from Adobe. Very bad customer service I would say.<br />
Hopefully, it will be resolved by Monday, otherwise I'm going to be really pissed.<br />
<br />
Luckily, I have some templates already made so here it is.<br />
Template 56 is actually Part 1 of a 2-page template (#56 and #57). <br />

<br />
I haven't been scrapping much these days, only making pages for my P365.<br />
Really should start continuing my mum's scrapbook!<br />
<br />
Here's a goodie for you.<br />
Lots of pictures and lots of words as well. <br />
Enjoy!<br />

On one hand, I'm glad that it somehow means that I still have a life besides sitting infront of my MBP, on the other hand, I wonder if anyone misses my free templates.<br />
LOL!<br />
<br />
Somehow getting lazy in making templates... perhaps the lack of response is slowly killing my passion.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's a new one which was actually used in one of my layout for my <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxMAbkxB6Cu2bsIJYtBb8kkMLv86mVwucyPtbydkFL-X05FQAoFsFV36f-U2YYBBUggHtBdt43CFuItRiKUQDwhfuFTD3JF_JiSkOxaLbjjFKR0noh6P34gLuO8k6heovKkZsebjIaoFI/s1600/201008B01+Melbourne.jpg">Melbourne trip</a>.<br />

<br />
My mum has asked me to make her a photobook, using old photos she has scanned one by one.<br />
These are photos since she was a cute kid, a chubby teenage, a beautiful woman and also her wedding photos.<br />
All these photos are in black/white and it is a challenge to make them into a photobook without looking too dull.<br />
<br />
What I plan is that, after I have made the photobook, I will try and sell that set of 20 templates so that I can accumulate some $ in order to print the book for her for Mothers' day.<br />
Of course I will still print the book for her regardless of whether I end up selling anything at all.<br />
But I think that idea, being put into action, will thrill her as well.<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here's a new template for you to play with.<br />
Cheers!<br />

I'm ok, just bored with work and all etc.<br />
Some gastric problems every now and then but I think it will go off by itself soon. <br />
<br />
Here's a new template for you. Cheers!<br />

Decided to make a layout for the stuff while waiting for them to be shipped.<br />
<br />
Started to like Kenneth Cole recently and have bought several pairs of heeled sandals since.<br />
Since I am short, their 4-inch heels suit me well. <br />
<br />

Recently, I watched 2 photoshop tutorials on youtube.<br />
One is about the patch tool and the other is about the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlUt5rsvJMk%20">healing brush</a>.<br />
<br />
I love the one about the healing brush. Apparently, if you change the shape of the brush from round to flat-oval, the result is much more realistic.<br />
I tried and it works very well. Try it if you are using PS!<br />
<br />
Here's a new template for you and you'd be excited to know that I already have a few more in the line-up.<br />
Have fun!<br />

Decided to post something up before I go out and have some brunch somewhere (took the day off from work).<br />
<br />
I don't have many birthday wishes.<br />
Not sure when it will ever come true but I guess I just have to have faith... and patience...<br />
<br />
So now, since 9 is my favourite number (for obvious reason), I made this template to share with you.<br />
It's already my 50th template... there were hits and misses along the way and I thank you for walking this journey with me.<br />
I hope I still have the zest and inspiration to go on, and your little comments always motivates me... so please remember to always leave me some words before you click the link to download the file!<br />

I took 3 days off from work for next week but am not travelling to anywhere.<br />
Will probably just rest and do nothing.<br />
<br />
Last night, I had a little birthday celebration with my colleagues and they got the waitress to make me this.<br />

[Forever 24] was the email subject I used when I sent out the invitation and they used it.<br />
It's not exactly an age that I would like to be back at but hey, it looks like a nice number!<br />
Haha!<br />

Here's part 3 of my wordart series.<br />

<br />
I truly believe that love can find you at any corner, at any time and even when you least expect it.<br />
Maybe you found your soulmate at the cafe, maybe your eyes first met from across the street, maybe you made a wrong phonecall and end up together.<br />
<br />
Every love story is different.<br />
Every love story is worth remembering, even if it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.<br />
