Studio Calico CHAllenge + Nook Feb Reveal!

Last weekend, I joined the CHAllenge over at the Studio Calico. The DTs came out with very fun challenges and I had so much fun doing it but didn't manage to complete all because I some other work to take care of. I am still happy that I managed to submit 6 layouts with what I have created in about 3 days! Big pat on the shoulder. Lol.

I submitted both of these layouts for Jen's Layering CHAllenge!

This was created for Scrappin Studio for the Monthly Inspirations Challenge Board and I thought it would be fun to submit  for Lisa's CHAllenge! I used different size of toilet rolls to use as mask & mist. That's how I created the circles/bubbles in this case :)

Created for Davinie's stitching challenge. Not good at stitching but I tried! :p

Created for Stephanie's Doily Challenge & Nik's Journaling Spot challenge .

Misted a big doily in the middle but can't really be seen in the photos :) For the journaling spot/card, I used the Smash product.

Created for Stephanie's doily challenge & Laura's Journaling challenge.

Well that's a whole lot I have created in a few days which after that I took a long break till now. BUT I will start creating starting tomorrow onwards... that's for sure!

New Toy for Big Girl!

Yesterday I received a mail notice that I got to collect two items from the post office. And I got a special note that one of them is a BIG box. I was so excited when I saw the words "BIG BOX" but sadly the notice came late, the post office is closed :( 

TODAY after my work, I rushed to the post office to collect the items. Guess what... my Sillhouette CAMEO has arrived ... woots!! I bought it at Studio Calico and it was on free shipping because I made a purchase above USD99. It took 13 days to reach me and that was darn fast if you ask me!

Well, it took me a while to decide but after seeing all the craze at Instagram, I couldn't resist it anymore. There are tons of enabler in Instagram I tell ya ... lol.

... and also a box of October Afternoon Farmhouse collection. It was indeed  "Happy Mail" day for me!! 

The minute I reached home, I opened the box and started to play with my new toy...

Here's the first cut... it was so pretty!! I didn't want it to stop so I continued...

I went to the Silhouette online store to get more... it was a pure paradise in that store!! Silhouette has a sale couple days back and took the plunge to subscribe to the online store. I paid for the basic sub $7.50/month for the next 12 months for a $25 store credit. Amazing. Actual cost was $9.99 but it was on 25% off. It was a good deal for sure!!  

Here's the result of all the lovelies I cut!! Beautiful eh?!

Today is also art day for my students in my class. This week we learnt about "My Family" and I got them to do thumb printing drawings. Oh boy... I have a bunch of creative students!

Cute lil hands! Part of my Feb-Photo-A-Day. Are you doing it too?

Here are the samples why they rock their drawings!! So adorable and so creative!! I love them all :)

Love them to bits... definitely put a smile on my face.

It has been an awesome day for me and time to cut more!! It's so addictive!

Will be back soon lovelies...

A layout for Constantine

I so heart this add-on kit called "Kissing Booth" that I had to create another layout. This time I scrapped about my cute nephew, Constantine. He lost his mom before he turned a year old. He is now 6-year-old. It breaks my heart to see him growing up without a mum. But he is doing well in school and a very happy boy. I really hope that he will grow up and do his mum proud. Always get teary thinking bout this lil nephew of mine :)

Isn't he a cutie?! I will try my best to keep his memories on behalf of his mum and my brother :)

This will be my final layout for Scrappin Studio. It has been an enjoyable ride for a year. Thank you Jaime for believing in me for a year and all the awesome opportunity that you have given me. I learnt to love & appreciate SC kits more. Seriously, if you are planning to get SC kits, you should subscribe from Scrappin Studio because they arrive darn fast :)

Oh yeah, I have another layout to share with you! Something that I created in a jeez before bedtime. This one I used the Studio Calico County Fair main kit.

Talking bout County Fair kit, guess what... my layout, Berry Sweet has been picked as one of the fav among the thousands in the SC gallery!! You can view the video HERE. I am so excited for that. Here's a screenshot...

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

I got myself a new "stamp"...

YES I have!! Lol. Today's layout is inspired by this beautiful motive that is found in the lotus root. I just love this vegetable :) Let me show you what I have done with it...

Here's a picture of lotus root that has been sliced.

To start, use the lotus root & stamp it on the embossing ink pad. Next pour some embossing powder. Use a heat gun to heat the embossed powder. 

Once I am done with the white embossing powder, I tried on the Mix'd Media Ink embossing powder and I was so in awe!

Here's the after effect, look at the colors... beautiful rite?

After that, I did some stamping using the ruler stamp. 

Here's the completed layout:

I have been struggling with my weight for a very long time. Last year I managed to loose some but guess what I have gained back by year end. Can I blame the yummy food during the festive season? Hehe. So this 2012, I am determine to work out. Get sweat. And my own little word for 2012 is definitely change. I have to change everything... the way I eat & live. I need to get fitter!

An IG friend I met...

Since I joined the Instagram (free app) community, I got to chat and meet so many scrapper friends and also non-scrapper friends too!! My IG friend, Natt Smith aka Tinyatt is having a challenge at her blog. She is one talented scrapper that need to be introduced in the blogger community. Check her out! 

The challenge is super simple : to create a project that includes banner(s). It has been a while I actually sat down and created something that is not assignment oriented so I took this opportunity to play along with her challenge.  Here's my take...

This layout is about me and my talented friend, Cindy Lee. I went to Penang to visit her and also several friends during Christmas. It was an awesome moment being with her and she is one fire-cracker! Lol. We had a mini photo booth moment and boy, we were crazy-fun! Miss her...

If you have some extra time on your hand or if you are itching to scrap. Do join her challenge ya! Thanks for coming by again... Oh yeah, if you join Instagram, do add me ya. My username is jcchris :)

Kissing Booth

I seriously adore this colorful and yet fun add-on Studio Calico kit called Kissing Booth. The colors are a touch of modern-vintage and totally diggin' it! I totally got inspired when I saw this paper by October Afternoon that was filled with lil boys and girls. Hence a "Childhood Love" layout was created...

Eric and I knew each other since we were 7 years old. So our LOVE for each other is something very special to us. This layout is very dear to my heart!
