Bookscraping

請容我獻醜一下,畢竟是我花了兩個晚上才完成的作品。

話說有因必有果,從文具版到手帳到紙膠帶到手作卡片,總之最近我越來越懂得找事情來打發時間,也比較不會胡思亂想找藉口和噹噹吵架(好啦,我真的有在反省了)。

噹噹有位好友,是台灣好男兒,在正月初五喜獲麟兒,雖然我在手作卡片還是枚新手,但也算是個機會表現一點親和力。所以在台灣的時候就已經開始搜尋可以用的材料。台灣物美價廉,我在墊腳石和金興發逛得不亦樂乎,滿手立體貼紙緞帶外加懶熊的桌墊也不過千元,在這裡卻可能要花費兩到三倍。

上週六是僅一面之緣的Gabrielle一歲生日會,我就也做了一張。照片是用Polaroid Pogo列印的,有鑑於Pogo印出的照片都會偏暗,所以我都會先用Picasa先編輯後才付印( Picasa真是Pogo的好朋友,簡單的編輯和分割都簡單幾個Click就可以完成。)
For Gaby's 1st birthday

Suits Myself

在迷上沒事閒逛Paper Market之後三個月,終於在天時地利人和的情況下報名了他們的手作課程,不過我直接跳過了初學者的課程,報名了「Suit Me」。課程內容是用Suitcase來作底,教你如何靠拼貼來妝點它。

選擇上這課主要是因為我想拿這Suitcase來裝紙膠帶,想說既然要買,乾脆心一橫,花錢上個課學著把它打扮得花俏點。

到了教室之後,先選想要的顏色作底。有黃色、綠色、粉紅色,還有我選的咖啡色。雖然我最早看上的是紅色,可惜它不在選項之中。報名這堂課的人數只有四人,而且年齡層分佈很廣,年紀最小的大概只有我的一半吧(>"<)不過「姐姐」我還是很有心要學習的!!上課時間只有兩個小時,我以龜速完成了一半。其它同學的果決和才思實在讓我甘拜下風,我這慢郎中難免感受到有些壓力,而且得用英文溝通難免有些阻礙了我的發問…

不過在教室裡,紙膠帶、鈕扣、立體花等等材料任取,工具也很齊全,光桌上就有二十個以上的打洞器,所謂工欲善其事,必先利其器,比在家裡可以有更多的變化也更省力,我想這比老師上課的內容還更吸引我,畢竟那些打洞器在店內販售都是四、五百台幣起跳。

後來回到家後又摸了兩個小時才完成。光幾個字就貼了又拆,拆了又貼不知幾回。

拿來收紙膠帶再適合不過了!不過裡面沒有分格,只能先用竹筷子插在中間以免各捲四散盒中。

後來我到大創買了分隔板,雖然沒法分隔的很完整,但至少取用方便多了。

話說我在上課的時候有注意到老師也有一大袋紙膠帶,不過私心覺得還是自己的比較好看,可惜我沒帶。但是老師準備的和我想要的主題不太搭所以也就沒有用太多。後來老公來載我下課,提到此事,他還笑我怎麼沒有多用一點才回本…好吧,我想我太老實了。我想我下次去上課的時候,絕對不會再客氣了~

Start Point

Employment opportunities or internship with Heaven's Gift

Nevertheless, I am willing to explore new or old blood who possesses the following qualities :

  1. If you are willing to humble yourself and serve, imagine being a butler for the bride, helping her to wear her shoes, fetching things around for her or her family, and not perceive these tasks as lowly duties, then it is the first step to become a planner assistant.
  2. To be able to work as a team. No one acts like a boss in our team. Everyone learns to support and help one another. It is through that, you get to learn even more and be an efficient planner assistant
  3. Commitment, commitment and commitment. Contrary to what many think - wedding planning is so fun, it is actually a very tedious and strenuous job. We may start work late, but we work even later. Before the event begins, we are there, when all guests leave, we are still working.. Our working time stretches more than one can imagine. Clients' rest days is our work days, Client's work days is also our work days.
  4. A passion for design. In fact, I am looking for more than a flair, I am looking for talents in design and creations.. I may not be physically handling all the designing, but I do know how to train one to be good in this area. We are looking for ability and availability.
  5. Finally and most importantly, I do look for reliable and faithful team mates. The industry is too small, and too competitive. We are not looking for players who seek to take a short cut , and try to be the next competitor. We rather train someone who believes in the organization, has the heart to learn and contribute to the team, than for someone who watches and tries to duplicate. On a hind note, we know most of the planners in the industry, some have become good partners, whom we refer to clients as well when our hands are full. I always believe each planner is unique and draws a certain group of clientele.. but as any planner, I am certain no one embraces a "stealer".

This is what I want to try, and from now on, I will try harder.
