now I know what it feels like to mass produce !!!

see the peek ? Thats what I have been busy with the last weekend, its my contribution to the SUPER SHIONG (tedious) SWAP or fondly known as SSS. This time we have 24 ppl participating in the swap and making 24 pcs of the same item is totally no joke .. really have to be disciplined enough to sit down and mass produce. It was kinda painful doing them but when I see the end result .. it was kinda worth it .. :) Now i cannot wait to see what the other 23 swappers have done ...

Its 2 more weeks to christmas and i think this year I will have a quiet one (not that I have Huge HUGE parties) but with most of my family away this year for xmas (they are going to Hokkaido, Japan together with abt EVERYBODY else i know!!!) I am glad for the quiet time also actually .. have received some news but is not at liberty to put it up till it is CHOP CHOP confirmed .. bwahhahahahah ... nah not big news like DT , so dun get all jumpy and all that ... and it will not materialize till about Apr/May so I may forget to announce also .. so dun wait ok .. hahaa ..

What else should I put ? Oh yeah ... Anybody saw my wonderful hair color ???

And basically .. I will be doing 4 .. Yes... Four Classes.. Lots of techniques and there are classes catered for the Beginner scrapbooker to the intermediate scrapbooker. And there is a special class that I really really really am pleased with the result ... It has topped mine and Irene's favourite list. I will also post when I get the go ahead from the nice gals from Shabby .. Should be anytime soon lah ... But plis go book your space with shabby first ... I heard that half of the class is already booked (yes even before they announced it ) so u all better act fast ...

Class - Made With Love

Brand New Class this month at Made with Love.



Junkful of Memories

It really doesn’t matter if it’s just black and white cos Sharon’s come up with a really cool project that you won’t want to miss! Create a novel Maya Road box album, using the very attractive Paddington Range collection – a new CHA Summer release from one of our favorite brands - 7 gypsies! And have lotsa fun playing with a variety of patterned papers and embellishments that really bring out the beauty of a black and white palette! You’ll be surprised at how stunning it can be!

What To Bring Along ::
glue tape, foam dots, glossy accents, precision-tip scissors, distress ink (black), heavy duty pen knife/craft knife and pencil.

Dates this months are :

15th October , the class on the 24th of October (indicated in the loveletter) will be cancelled as I will be outstationed during that period . The store will contact the persons who have signed up to let them know the replacement date.

*edit* The replacement dates for the class has been set to 31st October 2010. Spaces are still available for you to sign up if you have not yet done so.

Okay .. here is the layout mich... haha .. and yes I confess i actually ... forgot .. too many things happening at one time and of course my blog gets neglected .

The layout is one of the peektures I took in HKG (dun even ask me abt those pics, only uploaded the photos to mackie.. thats all .. oh yah and to facebook) , this was the day of the typhoon .. yes, going by track record, me and disneyland will automatically generate a typhoon .. oh heck .. me in Hong Kong will auto have a typhoon .. even if the whole season does not have a typhoon, when I get there .. the typhoon will come too ... the photo is very misleading cause it looks like we actually went to Disneyland but all we did was to go shopping at the Disney store at the Hotel .. we did not step into the park at all ...

This layout was done for MWL assignment and we used Basic Grey's Jovial range plus a stipulated die from Sizzix to create.

Well hope you all like it .. will try to update .. and .. Brunei'ans get READY!!!
