Well i got hubby to take and edit the pics of the album that I made using the scraps from the MLS papers. I think it is too cute. I used these cute lil honeycomb thingys from the Martha Stewart card kits. I added some rub-ons and actually journaled quite a bit. i added pics in the pockets that I created but I did not photograph these as they are just pics of various people and food of course. So here it is the lil album that i created: TFL

My Little Shoebox

Well I decided to submit some stuff for MLS DT call. I just love their papers. They are really too cute. I must say it was pretty hard to get my hands on them though. I guess sometimes the LSS don't bring in enough or if you are not there in time to get the stuff, well then it can be a problem......

Well here's what i did with my MLS papers and I also created a mini album from scratch with the left overs. I will photograph them tonight and try to do another post this evening.



I know, I know, everyone is sick of looking at this pic of me, including me!!!!!! I am not one who likes to be in front of the camera....and I like to take pics of subjects other than myself but I really have got to post up more LOs of me....seriously!!!



I love these tags. Thanks Aida for such a great idea. I used MLS papers for these save for a couple of stickers from Imaginesce.













I am going to put my sick little boy to bed now. I will try to get this little mini album that i made today up on line here and on two peas. It is really too cute and I can't wait to share it.............

DT Calls...The Ups and Downs......

Well I have been doing a lot of LOs lately, cards, tags acrylic albums and such for various DT calls and also to upgrade my own skills. The DT calls are great although it can be very depressing at times to be notified that "you are so talented" yet we only have a few positions available. It is the way it goes though. Not everyone can be on a DT and so far being published has been a milestone for me too. Now that I am officially a SAHM, I guess I have no excuses not to scrap or not to try out for DT calls, challenges and other stuff on line.

I recently got a whole bunch of scrappy supplies and of course even though it costs a bomb, I am very happy with it cos now I feel that I can really get down to business and scrap. I am not sure if I am gonna work on anything this evening cos, I am really tired, and I need to get aquainted with my new lappy the HP ENVY!!!! Hmmmm, what a great pressie for my birthday!!!

Well here are some of the stuff that I have been working on...thanks for looking everyone, not sure who follows my blog, and I definetely wanna try to upgrade my blog so it looks good, and now with a new lappy, I think I should be able to get more done!!!

A major milestone....

Today is a big day for me. After being on medical leave for almost a year, I have decided to resign from service. It was a tough decision. I am gonna miss everyone and even though my work can be overwhelming at times, I derive so much satisfaction from it. The decision to finally quit left me in buckets of tears over the weekend as i pondered over it but I believe it is the best thing for me to do for my my son and hubby. Sigh............I am gonna miss everyone in school and all the wonderful friends that I have made over the years. I can still keep in touch with them but its not the same as seeing them everyday.

In terms of scrappin, well there have been ups and downs. Some of my designs seem to be be "too elaborate" for the likes of DT calls so for the next few weeks my designs are gonna be simple. I am gonna make a mini book from scratch using MY Little Shoebox paper and see if it turns out nice. I love the products. Also I bought a new line of paper from Basic Grey and I can also use the Vintage Groove from Makng Memories which will go so well wth the stuff.

Here are a couple of things that i have completed in the past few days and as soon as I get more projects up i will post them as well. TFL

"to be or not to be" / "to submit or not to submit"

Well, its been a busy and expensive week....The sale of my house is finally over and done with and nothing is a greater feeling than being debt free!! WOW!!! Really gotta pinch myself on that one just to remind myself about it. It was an expensive week cos I needed to get some stuff that is long overdue...like a new lappy. I am using a mini notebook to blog, watch videos, upload pics and seriously it gets to be a royal pain at times just staring at a small screen. Well I got the HP ENVY and seriously can't wait for it to get here. Am still wondering if I should get it skinned, to match my I phone, I pod etc. But we shall see.

Now going back to the title of this blog.....Prima Marketing is having their DT call. I absolutely love their products and am feeling very overwhelmed about even submitting my stuff. Their blog is just gorgeous, and since this call is open to all countries, i can't imagine the talent!! Hmmmm, wonder if i should even give it a go. I have created a couple of things for the DT call, and I am not even sure if it matches up to the amazing talent that I see on their blog. Perhaps I should not sell myself short but at the same time...............

Well, this little LO got a lot of comments on Let's Scrap. Seriously, I had to adapt it quickly cos none of the LSS here, have the ATC holders, so adapt, modify create out of the box so to speak comes into play....
