Scrapbooking for Dad

[ Media Invite ]

Scrapbooking for Dad?

Before I attended Canon’s scrapbooking workshop, I always thought scrapbooking was for Mums only. Frankly speaking, give me some manly stuff like GoKart, abseiling, or even 10km run anytime :p

What is this pin, what is that roller or cutter? So many new equipments which I have not seen before. No wonder my face was blank when Claudia was giving the scrapbooking 1-2-3 tips.

… but I will gladly do scrapbooking again.

Scrapbooking is a wonderful experience to bond with the kids.
Kids chose their photos, they designed their own covers, and they approved their own “art-pieces”.

This is our proud family scrapbook, with all our good memories.

At the Canon scrapbooking workshop, we were introduced to the sleek looking Pixma MG7570 printers.

Once we installed Canon Pixma Maxify app, we were ready to print our photos wirelessly. Colour resolution is rich and printout fast. I had to stop the kids from sending 50 more photos over!

Besides the printers, the audience is pretty amazed with Canon Rayo R4 mini projector too. Portable, light, ideal for that “smaller” function room to project your birthday kid’s photos.

Scrapbooking tips and accessories from “Pixma Town”, so much decoration ideas!

Kids were really hardworking for 10 or 15 minutes. That is their attention span 🙂

There was always boxing and paper-cutter to fight for the kids’ attention.

Or the famous burgers and wings at BWB! I had to remind them for the tenth time.
“Make sure your hands are not oily!”

Dads out there, if your girl (or maybe boy) ask you to scrapbook, Go for it!
I am sure you will enjoy the scrapbooking experience too.

Scrapbooking for Dad? Yes, YeS, YEs!

Thank you Canon and BWB for hosting us, kudos to Claudia for the invite. Do pop by fellow parents’ masterpieces:

IKEA bedrooms

[ Advertorial ]

Loft beds always appeal to kids.
It must be something to do with the ladder, or the view from the top.

Even when we go for holidays, everyone is fighting for the top bunk.

Once upon a time, when the kids were smaller and cuter, we parents did not need to worry about beds.

But alas, they grow up so fast! Our boys are sleeping in bedroom 2. Three seahorse mattress side by side, boys can orientate themselves to sleep 90 degrees angle, 180 degrees or 360 degrees. So many combinations :p

This is also their playroom when adults must know the password to enter. Cheeky fellows.

Their bed sheets were selected at IKEA, we love the colouful animations (Pacman).

Our 5 room HDB flat is not exactly spacious to house 6 family members. Very soon, we might need to invest in a loft bed to solve our space constraint. Our study room (bedroom 3) might need to give way to our princess.

Yes we know, the boys will be screaming “Not Fair!”, but a girl needs her own room.

At IKEA, we can add some accessories to brighten the kids’ room.

Thorine cushions even come with guitars and hedgehogs!

Until Boon Xin has her own room, she is contented climbing the loft bed at IKEA. Meanwhile, Daddy is looking forward to the day when master-bedroom belongs exclusively to him and Mummy again 🙂

This is the last post in our IKEA series. We are sponsored by IKEA to showcase a different theme each month. Mar is “Bed & Bath“, February “Living room makeover” and January “Let there be Light“.

We would like to take this opportunity to thanks IKEA for the opportunity to makeover our own house. It was a fun journey for our family.
