Have to keep this going.....

Hello everyone!  I'm back with another post.  As what I have written in my title, I have to keep this going otherwise I will lose the momentum again.

During the retreat, I had an opportunity to teach a scrapbooking class.  I had so much fun with the girls who attended my class.  I was quite nervous at first and it was also my first time to meet some of them - but they were all lovely and very pleasant so I had a great time conducting the class.

Here is the layout.... and I have made a small shaker element on my page.

Title: Aguilars
Materials Used: Paper: Crate Paper Love Notes, Dark Grey Cardstock
Dies: Memory Box Die  and Poppy Stamp Die
Embellishments: AC Thickers, Acetate, Heart Confetti
Others: Gesso, Prima Stencil

And here are some photos from the class....

 Thanks ladies for joining my class.  I had so much fun!!!

My Minds Eye Pad - Honey Cake Cards

I'm still here....

Oh  my, it has been 3 months since I have posted something here-- my poor neglected blog.  Updates?! Well, I have been busy with my part time work at Catchy Crafts - preparing scrapbook and card classes which I have yet to post and share.  Also, busy helping Harvey with school work and of course doing some household chores - ladidadida....  Bad news - unfortunately, I did not get into the Kaisercrafts design team (read previous post) but it's still worth the try. 

I'm still scrapping....  and right now, they are mostly double pagers!  Can you believe it?! Yeah, I'm trying to come out of my comfort zone.  At times its hard because I feel like I just don't know what to put on the next page... but maybe with practice, I can improve.

I mentioned card classes... yep, I'm into card making too!!!  My new found love.  I enjoy teaching card classes and of course the ladies are also fun! Worth every effort.

Now to start the ball rolling again....  here is a double pager that I have made using one of my favorite brands Echo park.

Title: Tying my Shoes
Materials used: Bazzill cardstock - white and dark yellow; Echo park-Playground Collection; MS Deep Edge Punch - Daisy Fan; EK Success Punch - Embossed Zigzag. Papertrey Ink Buttons and Twine; AC Thickers; Martha Stewart Medium Punch - Heart Confetti; Glimmermist; MS Combo Punch - Cherish.

There you have it.... have to go...  stay tuned for more updates coming in a couple of days...

thanks for stopping!

After 44 days..... long post.

Just want to let everybody know that I'm still here!!!  It feels awful not to be able to update my blog for the longest time.  There were many times that I've attempted but I also don't know why I ended up on just uploading the picture files on my laptop - and thats it!  It never made it to a post on my blog.  Laziness beats me on this - which makes me feel bad.  Of course, there is Facebook and Kdrama which I also do in my spare time (kinda addicted to it).  I still scrap and even make cards.  In fact, I have plenty to share.  I just need to get the rhythm of blogging again.  I will really try harder this time....because it also makes me happy to be able to share my work.

Layouts?  I have lots to share.... 
I'm doing more doubles!!!  Here is a quick and easy double pager that I taught on one of my sessions at Catchy Crafts. 

Title: Greenbelt
Materials Used: American Crafts City park papers; Martha Stewart Deep edge puncher, Ek Success Puncher; Fiskars Border puncher - Brackets; AC thickers; Bazzill Kraft Cardstock; Uniball Signo White pen; Cotton String

Oh by the way, Catchy Crafts is moving to a new location.  Still at Hornsby, just beside the old store.  We are all excited about it because it's bigger, more spacious and filled with more scrappy goodness!!! And since it will be our last week in the old addy, the store is having a 25% off on almost everything!!!  The new store will be open to serve on the 27th of April.  Hope to see you all there!

Recently, I've joined the Blue Bazaar Bootcamp.  This time, it requires us to finish 30 layouts based on Pagemaps Sketches by the end of May.  I love joining this as it will really make me put a dent on my ever growing scrap stash.  Right now, I'm on to my 6th layout! - Feels great huh!

First 2 classes here in Sydney...

I was very fortunate to be able to get a part time work in this place...For a scrapper, this is a very good place to be...This store is Catchy Crafts located at Hornsby, NSW. I was also given slots to teach fellow scrapbookers... This really made me nervous... but very happy. I haven't had a chance to take photos of the First class I've conducted (I forgot to bring my camera - how about that?!) but it was a kids scrapping class. I had 8 students aged 8 to 12 years old during that time. And it was fun teaching them the basics.

My 2nd class was held last May 15 and it is an adults scrapping class... I was so nervous before the class started. And here is the layout that I shared with them...Title: 1 Fine Day

Materials Used: K and Co papers; Martha Stewart Deep Edge Puncher; Bazzill Cardstocks; Diamond Glaze; Webster pages journaling tags; MME flock alpha; Prima lace, Colorbox - black ink

Its a double page layout with a couple of distressing techniques. I called the class "Dressed to Distress." Here are some close up photos...And here are my wonderful students....

Will be having another class this coming Friday, 28th of May. Will be sharing a sneek peek of it in tomorrow's post. For details and inquiries, call 9477 4401.

Hope to see you and thanks for reading!!!!
