You are a Star - Scrap it Lah November Challenge

This is another layout of my son Lione, this one is going to 

Scrap-it-lah november challenge

This month is to scrap a layout based on the color of a flag

Well, I want to do the Singapore Flag, which is red and white, knowing that I am so weak at the color RED, I changed my mind

Then I think, hmmmm.... maybe do the American flag since I am a resident here, but my two teenage daughters, who are a huge fan of the Beatles, suggested to me "since you are 1/4 of a british subject, why don't you do a British Flag, well, they are right, this is running joke in the family, I'll tell you later

I am just going to show you my layout first

Here's the British Flag

And here's my layout based on the color of the British Flag

Hand-stamped doily next to my son Lione when he was 3, the photo was taken outside a MacDonald in Hong Kong

Lione is a natural ball player, he took up the bat and swing with his left hand naturally

I am so much of a girly girl, trying not to use too much flowers and frills on a layout is hard for me

I am glad I have these tickets, they kind of look boyish in blue

Here you go, one last picture for the layout and then I am going to tell you that joke 

In case you do not know, Singapore is a country, is in South East Asia,  not part of China, never at any one time belongs to China. Until 1824, Singapore was still a territory controlled by a Malay Sultan. It officially became a British colony on 2 August 1824 when John Crawfurd, the second resident of Singapore, officially made the whole island a British possession by signing a treaty with Sultan Hussein Shah in which the Sultan and the Temmenggong handed it over to the British East India Company. In 1826 it became part of the Straits Settlements, a British colony. Now, here comes the interesting part, on my mom's birth certificate, her nationality is not "Singaporean" but "British Subject", LOL! Since my girls are crazy over the British band boys, the British subject thing stuck in their head and when someone asked what nationality I am, they would answered, she is 1/2 Singaporean, 1/4 Malaysian and 1/4 British subject.

Ok, so much of goofing around, next is a few photos from my recent Albuquerque/Sante Fe trip
