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....

A humbling experience

A truly humbling experience..............I went to the SNR website to see my LOs on their site. I almost cried. I still have to pinch myself when I go in and see it cos I can't believe that my work is now published!!! Although, in my previous post I trumpeting about it, to see it "live" on line was just truly humbling and I am so honored to be alongside so many talented scrappers. THANK YOU SNR for choosing my work. It is such an honor.


Well Mom came over today to spend the day at our new place. It has been a long and tough week for me. The final transaction for the sale of my house will be over and done with by Monday. As of next week, I will be completely debt free and I am super excited about it. I have had a lot of mixed feelings about that though.....selling the first home that I actually owned was very traumatizing cos, I really liked that house and although this new rental is such a beauty it is not mine.

My new scrap space AKA as my bedroom is not too bad. I have gotten it organised so I can more or less find my stuff. I am working on 3 mini books this weekend to give a way to friends and of course to keep one for myself as a sample. I did manage to aqueeze out a LO of my son, which has a "flowery" element to it as well as that grungy look so that it does not look too overly feminine. LOL



And another LO of summer fun (well its summer all year long here in Singapore) but i thought this was a very cute children's LO. It lacks all my doo dads and doo hickies that I normally do on my LOs but this clean and simple look can be very appealing to some....(I hope)!!






TFL everyone and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. I need to finish my 4 mni books and start on some other projects that are pending......

"Ahem"....Drumroll Please.....

I can't believe it, but after being a "closet scrapper" for so long, I have finally come out of the closet and put my stuff online, apply for DT calls and submit my LOs for publication...... I am OVER THE MOON to be PUBLISHED!!!!! 3 of my LOs will appear in this online magazine SNR or Scrapbook News and Review Magazine. I will add their blinkie on the side of my blog (I will get hubby to do that)!! My first 3 LOs was in their March issue and I submitted 10 LOs for their April issue and they accepted ALL 10. I feel so blessed and really excited that my work was appreciated by a team of editors. I am really really very very happy!!!

I also submitted a couple of LOs for a DT call and I thought that I would share that with you..
