Sonia & Dennis

This was an extremely overdue work piece that I completed but didn't not manage to upload it into my blog...pardon me. Sometimes we just so so caught up with our daily routine a.k.a the mediocre life that we left our dreams our passion slipped away..when we realized it too much time was wasted and were not able to be returned those missing times... Was out with two friends of mine over lunch today and one of the conversation that came up was things we want to do, our dreams, our passion...we got so overly excited talking about it and realize that somewhere deep within us each we were born for greater things in life than just the day to day job.. So here is a tribute to my two friends who were inspired over brunch to do greater things in life..go and chase for your dreams!

~all you need is love~john lennon.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

A LOVE STORY

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

There are three things that last: faith,hope and love, and the greatest of these is love
—I Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Another wedding guest book done..One more add to the collection of jo.paper.mint.

The couple wanted something that was simple but yet cute and sweet. Their theme color was purple and white. since they were having the holy matrimony and all, so i reckon to add a lil' biblical scriptures into the wedding guest book.

I personally love the poems that i have added on in the wedding guest book. One from Shakespeare: A epic from Romeo and Juliet and The Finest Thing by Joanna Fuchs..

Wishing angel and Nelson..a happy marriage..one with abundance and loads of love and hopes shared together. 2 become 1.

The Finest Thing By Joanna Fuchs
Among the finest things in life,
a good marriage is the most satisfying and rewarding,
the deepest and best of pleasures.
That blessed relationship
uplifts, enriches, encourages and strengthens both husband and wife.
A loving marriage
overcomes any obstacles the world may put in its way,
strengthening the special marital bond with every challenge conquered.
Your wedding
is the start of something better than you can imagine.
May your marriage be all that you dream of and more.

Teong & Beth June 6, 2009
Their wedding was all about fun, friendship, love, and amazing personal style...and so i gathered the thoughts, their wedding theme colour was lavender, pastel like colors. I decided to do a layout of lil collages with white frames to give a lil touch of elegant and accentuates each photo of in those frames. I took photos from their pre weddin' which captures their happiness and love embarking on tis new journey together. It feels as though their love story comes alive in the weddin guestbook

celebration of love @ anniversaries

..clueless as to what to gift for anniversaries especially in marking the one year, 10 good ole years or simply a gift of love showing your appreciation to your loved ones..fret-not..jo-paper-mint is here to provide..

on the recent months, there seems to be a great demand for personalization @ customization especially on anniversaries notebooks. It maybe something lil to begin with, but it does captures the moments of the togetherness. Especially when client provides me with photos, or the lil details of their partner's favourite colour or favourite icons.

so here are those collection that celebrates their love..sometimes is just those lil things in life that matters

1. Precious moments

This client to me wanting me to do a notebook for his girlfriend. She loves PINK and Precious Moments. So we decided to put all those into the notebook. Apart from that, we went on further to explore as to how to make the pop-up castle, so there's a tab that pulls and it pops up just like those you've seen in greeting cards. my very first attempt at it. Phew! thank god it turn out alrighty..







2.Moments we had together

This client came to me wanting a notebook @ planner for the boyfriend that was leaving abroad for studies. Something that reminds him of their time together and also something that was practical and useful for him. So what i did was to gather their pictures taken together. The snapshots and have them places in the planner with one photo for every month.
