Jenni Bowlin & Me ... oMY !!

*Scarlet Lime Giveaway still open - HERE *

i'll like to begin by saying i don't wish to ever sound like i'm braggy about opportunities that come my way. Really, I thank the Good Lord for the amazing open doors...

July just got to be my lucky month (insert *SQUEAL*!!).
I was asked to be JBS Mercantile July Guest and i could hardly contain myself...
If you see my seemingly clean style, you'd liken mine to hers cause SHE had been one of my inspiration in my very early craft journey. Silently reading her blog, I learned how a true American flea market looks like (*ahem ... i had only knew of singapore pasar malam (night market)then. lol...
Yes, of course my mediums come out to play once in awhile ; one shouldn't waste !:) THANK YOU for the unthinkable opportunity (though it's only for a month, I'll treasure treasure it!)

these are up on JBS inspiration blog...
what a treat !







and here's another rare treat :) ( i like to think so ! ha ! )
i was asked to show my craft space... o well, nothing glamorous. space is a challenge and i do mean tight !





thank you for letting me share ...
the school hol is at its tail-end and it's bitter-sweet to end it already...
i'm still waiting on July Kit from JenniBowlin's. Do check back soon tho'.

Blessings...

i'm so way behind in a lot of things (pattern paper related)... but i'm highly distracted. and so i'm here...

have u seen Graphic45's Newest Collection ?
the colors are really Rich and Lovely. Just my kind !!



here're a couple of layouts using Graphic45's. Just as i was waiting for my package to arrive, i decided to dig through my pile of G45's papers. Can't get bored with these. They just grow on you.



and one using JenniBowlin's.



gotta run. thanks for your wonderful presence and KIND comments.

Wish'g U well ... L8t'r

i had some time on hand this week and been creating to my heart's content this week.

here's a JenniBowlin's + Maya Rd mini tag album and MONO Tombow adhesive.
it's a personal goals themed and i used short words to sum it up for me : Go, Be, Do, Enjoy.







and here's a layout based on a sketch.
my local store Made With Love kicked off the year with a new sketch challeng. here's my take based on the sketch. Please check out here for more details. RAKS will be provided by the store and did u hear the store will be EXPANDING with a new Wing and there's a sale going on now at the store too ?! > Details Here !

here, i used lots of 7 gypsies'. the photo, lots of vignette and looks highly saturated. don't fantastically fancy it; and don't really bother cause i love experimenting with photoshop. photos are reprintable isn't it :)
the background is an old airport and we were lucky to have caught a stationery private plane then. that place is a treasure but too bad it's undergoing some major facelift...




and have you heard about the CLIP-It-Up ? :)
I'm so glad to be part of Simply Renee Inc's team !
More to come on that in the coming months. I'm so welcoming the idea of a More tidy scrap space. The Clip it Up is SO useful! Congratulations to the rest of the ladies who made it !

AND thank you , you wonderful blog readers who dropped by and gave suggestions :)
thanks for taking time to ask questions in the comments; it gave me a little more to blog about :P

- Wendy asked if i adjusted my photos > Yes i used Photoshop elements and play around with color adjustments specifically hue/ saturation and added vignette.
hope it helps...cause i'm still learning myself :)

next week will be a busy week here, probably no more post till ... when i'm done with what i need to do :)
Take care all u sweet souls...
