Weekend is a fast runner

I spent the weekend organising my digital scrapbook stash.
I deleted kits/templates that I will never use and rename some files to make them easier to find with spotlight.

And, after applying for my AUS visa, I started making some "quickpages" for the trip (even though it's still 3 weeks away).
12 days with road trips and all should give me lots of photos to scrap!

It's already July and I am amazed that I am still going strong with my 365-project.
Besides scrapping each week into a page, I also do specials (for events, thoughts, movies etc) and a 1-page journal for the month.

Here's a new template to share. It is from my July week 1 layout.
Have fun with it!

Template 27

Friday is here! Finally I start to see the corner of the weekend.
I am planning for my 2-week vacation in Melbourne in August and I think I need to get some layouts ready so that I can quickly clip photos when I return.
Lots of scrapping this weekend!

Last week, I re-make a layout which I created when I started digi-scrapbooking.

This is the original ->

Very simple, very sparse and almost no elements.

This is the re-make ->

Bigger photos since I'm not going to add elements.
Title changed into a curve path since I now know how to do it.

Yes, it is not significantly changed because that was not the main idea.
I was trying to see how much I have improved.
And indeed, I like the new version better.

If you like this layout, here's the template to grab.

PSE-friendly template (Part 3)

I found 4 more templates which were grouped and have "rectified" them.
There shouldn't be any more old templates that are PSE-unfriendly and I will definitely make sure my future templates are ungrouped.

Links are as follows (same as old version but I have updated the files at 4Shared):-
Template 11
Template 17
Template 23
Template 24

A new template will be posted by Friday. Do drop by!

Information overload

I recently discovered that I overload myself with too much repeating information from designers.
You see, I will receive an email from the newletter because I signed up for it, and I will see the same information on my google reader from the blog, and on my facebook wall, the same thing will appear because I'm a "fan" of the designer. If I have twitter, I will see it 4 times.

Yes, I love many designers, and I love getting updates about their new designs, their freebies and lovely CT layouts.
However, do I really want to bomb myself with the same information 3, 4 times in 24 hours?
No.

So I'm going to do some cleaning up.
Either remove them from my FB or unsubscribe from the mailing list.

Life is short, repetitive infomation only clutters your time and nothing else.
