Altab

I have just returned from a trip to India for 8 days where we worked in Katchwaa Christian Hospital, near Varanasi (Ganges River, ghats etc.). I go every year and thoroughly enjoy it! This year I couldn’t get over how much Altab (see child in layout pic below!) had grown. But I heard sad news, his mum had passed away from a heart condition. She was only in her 30’s and it made me wonder whether or not she would have survived had she had all that modern medicine has to offer in the west (Ok, so I’m in Asia, but you get the idea!). It was heartbreaking as he had not been able to pay his school fees for the past few months. And when I say school fees, I mean the $0.50 US per month. Ugh… when I got back I couldn’t buy anything as I was so guilty at paying triple that for a piece of sushi or ten times that much for a Starbucks. We are so out of touch… I am really feeling the need to do a lot more than we are doing. As I have seen posted around Facebook so much the last month, “First world problems are not problems”. I agree.

Back to Altab. He’s 13 years old and has no mum and yet he is always so happy. Smiling. Enjoying life. We should be more like him and we should do more for kids like him. Anyway, I made a layout about this precious young boy using a kit from Sanko Studio called “Contentment”. Very fitting for this layout I think.

A Little Giggle Designs Chinese Orient Mini Kit Freebie Digital Scrapbooking

I decided to join this month’s DFT Blog Train! Whew! That makes 2 blog trains in two days. I have my DST Blog Train HERE if you’re interested. Anyway, the theme is, ‘Chinese Orient’. You would think this would have been easier than it was considering I live in Hong Kong! But still, I had to get my thinking cap on for this one.

Included are three papers (lantern, love and simple black with lantern stripes) and the following elements: lantern, frame, love square (paper and plastic versions), “I Love You” and some stitching to go along with them.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is a $2 coupon to my store included in the download. You can check out my store HERE. Ok, now onto the download:)

DST Blog Train Solid Paper Pack Freebie

Bright Days Ahead Textured Solid Papers Pack Freebie

I decided to join this month’s DST Blog Train! (I’m also in the DSF Blog Train HERE with my mini kit, “Chinese Orient”). The theme is aptly called, ‘Bright Days Ahead’. I hope you like what I’ve created , a 7 solid paper pack. The papers are beautifully textured and should be a great complement to the other items on the blog train.

Originally I had planned on doing a mini kit, but life got in the way. And by life, I mean my computer died 3 times and then I was in India and was unable to do any work as planned as I had no access to wifi and so couldn’t get the colour swatch until I got back (and then my computer died again!) Ugh.

Anyway, I think a few basics are always good, so I hope you like the solids! Keep reading, there is another freebie!

Oh, I almost forgot, there is a $2 coupon to my store included in the download. You can check out my store HERE. Ok, now onto the download:)

New Release {Hope in the Rain}

A Little Giggle Designs Hope in the Rain Sale Digital Scrapbooking

I just love this kit! Life is not always perfect and I think it’s SO important to document the good times as well as the not so good times. I do truly believe that even in the midst of the rain, when everything looks grey and you’re covered in clouds, there is still a ray of hope and if you hold on and be strong, then a rainbow will come and you’ll soon be taking a big deep breath of fresh, clean, crisp air! Hope realised!
