SHARING IDEAS

I met a crazy and mad and also sweet lady in SBM (Scrapbook Market group on Facebook) recently, she is my secret SB agent, hahaha... She's WaiSam... SamJie that's what I call her.. And she gave me an idea yesterday when I was what's apping late night.... Btw.. I love WaiSam's project :D

Do you haveAll the pretty papers with never ending images for fussy cutting? You are in love with them but you just can't finish using them although they've appeared on many of your projects.....are you seriously going to use all of the cows on the paper? LOL and you don't know what to do cause they are piling up higher and higher in stacks!!!!!!!

What I do is SWAP them with a friend! *wink*

Gather all your fussy cuttables that you are fed up with and keep them aside.

cut the fussy cuttables that you want to giveaway and staple them on an A4 copy for easy storage and viewing! Slot it into a protective sheet and swap it with your friends!
You can have more variety of fussy cuttings now and not getting bored with the yellow cows anymore :)

And also...
If you have limited space for yourself to scrap, try stacking all your papers and flat embellishments like stickers and rubons beneath your project that you are working with. You'll find it will be a lot easier to go through your papers and they don't scatter everywhere around your place. At least this works for me :))))


Hope these help!!!!!

Thanks for coming over!

Yippee~~~

There's a few things I would like to share.. yippee!!
First I couldn't believe that I could finish a mini album in a day!!!!! but still some photos not sticked and journalings not written yet, but!!!!! it is almost done!
I used my Scrappingville's March kit that contained lots of Sassafras papers to make this album and it is oh so chunky and I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Can't really share everything now, but I'll promise this will be reveal soon in the month of March :)

During the holidays, I made a traditional scrapbook mini album about my recent trip to Bangkok. The idea is to make it simple and easy.... okay... so I'm done with day one... and I dunno when I'm going to finish it?????!!! (yikes)showing only 1st page here~

And then!!!!!! I participated an ATC swap (for the 1st time) in a facebook group with a bunch of crazy scrap-die hard fans in January, finally everything has arrived and I'm so excited!! Thank you everyone for your effort and especially JieYing for hosting the January swap :)

My 1st Studio Calico haul

= this is a long post, full of photos, time consuming =

I'm just too happy and I couldn't contain myself, so I ended up at my blog for this post. shoot me please.
I should not be here right now as my bloody finals is in a week's time
okay, just for once... I really need to share this.

I made my first purchase from Studio Calico quite some time ago and the box has finally arrived! GOOD! ----> www.studiocalico.com
The great thing about purchasing from the Studio Calico shop is that it's a flat rate shipping of $17.50 to anywhere outside of US! So if you add and add and add and add and add and add (dizzy words~)products to your cart, it's still $17.50 for shipping, but you are limited to get max 3 main kits in a box.
I was super excited but something horrible happened

the orange Zing embossing powder bottle cracked and BOOM! the powder flown everywhere inside and OUTSIDE of the box, even thru the plastic sheets of my other products.
What a terrific orange party
I spent more than half an hour cleaning up everything, and boy it was difficult for me as the powder is so fine
I got rid of the box and place them to the other SC box for some photo shooting, woots~
Best haul ever (at this moment) as I got SUPER CHEAP STUFFS from the Last Call section in the shop last month. But still dissapointed that I didnt get the grab bags and other add on kits :(

QUICK ZOOM
The broken bottle incident has given me a powder phobia now and it's bad news cause I got 8 bottles in my box. I scooped the leftover orang Zing into my container
I got the ZAP! heat tool and Zig embossing pen, and I dont really know how to use them
The products that I love the most are theseI couldn't wait so I tried spraying on small square cardstocks and make color charts (with Glimmer Mists too) :)COLOUR CHART
Stickers are my friends (this seems scary) since I was.. i dunno when [Left to right] Chipboard alpha tan ($3.50, no sale), 2 Blue Chipboard alpha ($0.50 <---WHAT?!!!!, on sale), Grenn Yellow Pink addy alpha ($1.25 no way, on sale), 3 Die cut stickers ( cant recall, on sale). I've gotten everything I wanted!
Be prepared for this deal. FISKARS everywhere punch RM85 (retail price in Malaysia), but I got for RM18, please don't be sad. Sew easy $1.25?? (on sale)
Tags ( no sale) and Journaling cards ($0.15, so cheap, on sale)
A display of all add ons I get from the sale, not the sale and a contest prize. I didn't realise I have so many.
The old Studio Calico pp add on in one of the off season kits. 4 papers,2 of each design, only $0.70 i think? (on sale)
This is from the Mind the Gap kit. (on sale)
Cardstocks please (no sale).

WHITE
Fieldguide add on pp (no sale)
GLEE CLUB kit! (prize) spot the to-die-for WOODGRAIN thickers?
Some Countryside pp, all stained by my Zing powder :( FRONT:love the cow, bamboos and yellow triangles
BACK:
Some ads, great to use on mini albums as they are acid free too,good!
That's all

NOT TO WORRY because Studio Calico has great customer service, all damaged products will be either refunded or replaced, mine is settled :D

Something to share, i got what they call Twills (cotton tape) in manyyyyyyyyyyyy colors from a local store long time ago, love the colors

Did you get something from Studio Calico too? please share :D LOVE HAUL POSTS~

Updates for this week.

Yeah yeah yeah...
I have just received my freebie from Scrappin Studio :)
Thanks Jaime once again :D
I super love travel themed stamps~


I had made this bound book for myself, and it's superbly vintage... love the style!
Meet my diary -- PRIMARY QUARTERLY :)

I printed the cover myself, inked myself, distressed myself, bind myself, picked the colour myself and chose the vintage pictures myself :) it's so cool!
It's all handmade!
And guess what? The cover is from a 100% recycled paperbag... it's much more cooler!hah

This is a super hit. Many people loved my diary... I think it's because it's vintage
I'm gonna try making another one available for sale next time


Washi tapes are so trendy nowadays, they appear everywhere!
These are the MT family of my collection :)

The MT tapes seem lonely, there are 15 in total. But I guess they need a new company, a new friend
OR more friends.
So I invited Mark's tapes in to join them.

And so I invited 25 Mark's tapes to join the family, they came from a scrapbook store called Papermarket in Singapore.
There was a great sale last month, a buy one free one MASKING TAPE SALE.
So, I asked my cousin to get some for me, and she chose them, but I didn't know it was such a huge family.
Say CHEESE tapies!!!
{family photo}



Making a record before the tapes are gone for good.


I received Wendy Erman's wonderful postcard last month.
It is phenomenal! Super love her creation! *and it's vintage!*
It's the masking tape swap actually.
