Bakun - a scrapbook layout

Hola! Today is a week after I had the tooth surgery and still not 100% recovered. Still have a bit of pain on the gum that was stitched and it's a but swollen. I'm enduring ....

Anyway, here's a new layout from me and about me...Hehehehe....I have always loved the Tim Holtz's alteration Gears die. It reminds me so much of my work. Though I don't really design gears, but I used these stuffs as a part of a system. So, basically, this layout is dedicated to what I do mostly....at work...

This layout is about Bakun hydropower station located in a remote area of Sarawak. I was there last year before the water impoundment begins. Today, that jungle behind me could have probably be filled with immense amount of water. There were a lot of criticisms went on before and during the implementation of this project especially by the environmentalists. But that's another story...






This layout is very orangey...don't you think so? I never expected that for when I was doing this, I didn't really know what to expect. I just knew that I wanted to use that gears die, splish- splash everywhere, a bit of girlie stuff ( cos my work is a man's world after all) and paper flowers.






I have used quite a lot of TH's stuffs in this layout including a tissue tape Journeyman, which I folded myself to make a flower and finished it off with a button. Also, I have the paper rosette, which is so easy and fun to make!

And again, I would like to apologize for the quality of these photos. Not taken from my dslr at the moment. Sigh!
