Making a comeback!

I know I've been a really bad blogger.
Just wish I've the diligence to keep up with this little space of mine but you know life sometimes put you out of track.
Definitely will get back to blogging regularly since my students' exams are OVER!!! :)
I hope it's good news for you! :)

Yes this is what I've been doing the past few days.
Scrapping up a storm, making little kits that will be going up on my etsy store in a couple of days and basically just resting, resting and resting my worn-out body.
You've no idea how thankful my body is for the wonderful rest.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, I'm soo glad to see your lovely comments.
Read every single comment and thank God for every single one of you who made my life and blogging more meaningful.
So here's a big thank you! :)

I did a little manual draw for the first time, it's really fun to write your names and read your comments again, put them in the altered empty tissue box and shuffle a little before drawing the three winners. Just sharing how even that feels therapeutic for me!
Congratulations to:

Geraldine for winning the pack of SEI papers and embellishments!

Sharon for the vintage kit with lace trims, pearls, a little metal tag, ticket stubs and resin flower appliqué. (Please choose which colour of resin flower applique you want from the picture shown above)

Jeanette for winning the set of papertrey ink stamps!

Please email me at wuling_18@hotmail.com with your mailing addresses so that I can mail your gifts to you! :)

I'm back to having fun with my seam bindings and kit-making, while listening to this good old song.

Happy birthday to me! :)

Sorry for being away for the past couple of days..

The hectic period will not be over till the end of the month but I'm trying my very best to stay in touch here! :)

First of all, I sincerely want to thank those of you Sweeties who still dropped by here to give me the most wonderful, uplifting comments.

I'm grateful for these priceless reminders that I'm not forgotten. So thank you for that!

I can't wait to visit your blogs soon once I'm done with that hectic teaching job of mine. :)

Secondly, I just want to wish myself a Happy Birthday here! 

I've no time to celebrate with my family and friends just so you know..

It's gotten really depressing for me to turn down their requests for lunch and dinner dates.

I know I shouldn't put work before them but I simply CANNOT leave my students on their own for the coming examinations.

If I were to do that, I'll feel guilty while having that birthday dinner or lunch.. 

Even if I have to sacrifice dinner to just help them with one more question for the day, I'll gladly do so.

I'm that passionate or rather stubborn (as termed by the unhappy boyfriend). laughs

See how HAGGARD I've become after working every single day of the week for the past few months? 

Even my normally good skin starts protesting with a series of eczema! EEKS!

Don't even get me started on the eyebags and dark eye circles.. :(

Anyway, you know I love to do giveaways especially on special days like these!
At least I gotta celebrate here on my little blog.
So, all you need to do is to leave a little comment here, telling me how you'll celebrate your birthday if you've NO TIME.
It's just for fun! :P

I've a couple of giveaways to do!
Sorry for not loading the pics up due to time constraint but these are the giveaways for my nicest readers in the world!
1) A pack of SEI papers and embellishments
2) A vintage kit with seam bindings, prima roses, little tags, ticket stubs and resin flower appliques
3) A set of papertrey ink stamp from the latest release (I ordered one more set especially for you!)

You know how crazily obsessed I've been over Papertrey ink recently!

So I just want to share what I love with you!

 

If you want some nice clothes from Fondrey, head over to my other blog for the giveaways!

I'm giving away TWO Fondrey vouchers worth $10 each! :)

 

 Alrighty mateys, I shall end the post with my favourite picture of us taken like a month ago!

He's bringing me somewhere romantic for dinner later today.

I have to postpone one class for this dinner so it better be good! :)

How about a giveaway?

Tada, I shall leave you with a wonderful verse which speaks volumes to me!

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, 
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, 
pleasing and perfect will.

Roman 12:2 

Congrats!

And the little RAK goes to...

Sure! I want you to post your projects at least once a week cos I miss seeing them! :) Wow, you created all those craft materials yourself? Where did you get the seam binding - I've been hunting all over SG for it! Would love to receive a pack of the goodies! :)

Please email me at wuling_18@hotmail.com with your mailing address.
I'll also throw in an additional seam binding in aqua just for you! :)
Just love the look of the scrunched seam binding on my cards..
G45 papers, Seam binding in Aqua, teapot and title image from papertrey ink Tea for two stamp set, pearl and button with twirl from stash.

My apologies for the bad lighting, it was done in a rush for a special friend.
I'm totally addicted to papertrey ink stamps recently.
Almost bought every single stamp set!
You must take a look at their designers' work, I'm amazed at what they can do with just stamps, totally out of this world!

I just can't resist ordering from them every month, let me know if you're interested in joining the spree to save on shipping!

I'm in the process of photographing the seam bindings for you guys.
Do drop me an email if you do not wish to purchase through the etsy shop!

Have to turn in after a long day listening to the boyfriend's trip in Germany for his conference..
Have to boast about this awesome guy bagging two poster talks and a talk for his two research papers published in a university journal.
Smart nerds like him are just right up my alley. lol
Thank God for keeping him safe and sound throughout the longest 10 days I've ever lived.
That's the longest time we've ever been apart and it's not easy. :(
He promised that there wouldn't be a repeat, with lots of German chocolates to make up for the absence! yeah!

Goodnight world! :)

Delightful to share!

In between the hectic schedule of planning for my students' mock paper sessions and giving additional classes, I quite miraculously came up with the Mother's Day gift set class that they have been requesting since January!

Yup. The power of scrapbookers.
I 'converted' almost all my female students, even male ones into aspiring scrapbookers! LOL

Our school vacations are spent thronging the crowds at my LSS for hours.
Or they will fantasize about owning half of my you-can-imagine-how-much scrap supplies.

So here is the 'flyer' I came up for my mini Mother's Day gift set class.

I'm so looking forward to it as I've overwhelming responses for the classes!
Even the boys are coming up shyly to ask if they can take the class.
Of course you can, Silly heads!

I seldom brag about my bunch of 'kids'.
But beneath the non-chalent, as-if-I-care coat, they are one of the most filial kids I've seen!

Anyway I decided to share this good news with a blast!
I'll prepare one additional kit (for both the box and card) to be given to one of you.
Just leave me a comment on anything that makes your day recently and I'll draw one winner before 1st of May!
Oh yes..
I can't wait to blog about my wonderful Sunday at church.
This has to be the best Sunday ever in my life so far.

Fill you in a while!
May God bless you with good health and happiness.
:)

Sneaky peeky 3

As time is running short, here is Sneaky peeky 3!



Here are the MCQ, no negative marking. lol
1) Cherish the love we have
2) Cherish this moment
3) Cherish this love

I apologize for the short time lapse in between the sneak peeks as I've to post the layouts up the Websters pages gallery in a little while. It's 1st of February, girls!! :)

In the meantime, you can still post your guesses for Sneaky peeky 2 and I'll draw both winners before I post the layouts up the gallery!

I'm so so excited and honored!! How can Websters pages' GDT not be?

May God's peace be with you and your family no matter where you are!
Praise the lord for every good thing you have in life because without him, you have nothing and you are nothing.
For this, I'm thankful every single day, to be alive and well, to be at peace and contented. I wish you are too.. :)

Sneaky peeky 2

Joanna you're one lucky girl!!
Double winner! Congrats!

I'm gonna tweak the rules a little for this game, each of you can comment once and I'll draw a name from those who got the option right.
I think it's fairer due to the different time zones! :)
Here is sneaky peeky 2!

Guess the title!

1) Beauty queens
2) Glam queens
3) Queens galore

Thanks so much for contributing the random guesses.
This is so fun!! :)
Will be back tomorrow to reveal sneaky peeky 3.
Goodnight!

Sneaky peeky 1

I've been keeping this excitement for so long that it's killing me!!
Thanks Joanna for being the first to make a correct guess!!
I'm going to be the February Guest Designer for Websters pages!!!

When I first received the email from Terri, I thought I was dreaming.
I fell in love with Websters pages from the very first moment, heck I don't even have the 'love at first sight' drama with my boyfriend. LOL
I actually hated him way back but let's leave it for another day.

For my love of doing little giveaways,
I'm thinking of having a little fun game to celebrate this wonderful news!

The game goes like this...
I'll give a sneak peek of the layouts I'll be posting for my GDT work and all you have to do is to guess the correct title out of the 3 choices given by me.
Fastest fingers first!
The first to get the correct answer will receive one of my favourite Websters papers, one vellum card, one journalling card, a coordinating cardstock and some pretty roses.
International friends are more than welcomed to play along! :)

Here is the first peek:


Guess the title of this layout:
1) life is beautiful
2) life . beautiful
3) love my beautiful life

I'll post the winner and the 2nd peek tomorrow!!
Have a blessed day!! :)

PS: Dear Joanna, please email your address to me at wuling_18@hotmail.com to receive a little something from me. :)

in the midst of busy creating..

for my guest designer spot for my favourite brand..
Yes I am going to be the February Guest Designer for the most gorgeous paper line!!
I'm super excited about it and I'm not sure if I can announce it here first..

I guess the best I can do to ease the suspension is for you to make a guess what papers I'm going to guest design for (by commenting on this post) and I'll send some goodies (including a set of stamps) to the first one who makes the correct guess!

In the meantime,
let me share more projects done in the past few months..

That's me when I was 2!
Looking like a meanie monster!


I've fun embossing the cute sassafrass border stamps, finally the Zing powders are working their asses off for me!



Journaling takes the center stage here, lots to write about myself being a monstrous sister! I'm wondering if I should share it here and risk scaring you. lol
For now, I am only giving away hints of 'bully', 'cry', dictator', drama mama', you roughly get the idea what a sister I used to be! Hee

And and, before I forget!
This is the album I made with lots of love for the boyfriend!! (for his birthday if you remember in one of the previous posts)

Why do I love thee?

Let me count the ways..








Some close ups,
sorry for having so many photos up here! If only I know how to organise them into a multi-photo grid!!






My all time favourite quote from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7


My paper grid, not a digital one.
See how backwards I am?

I'll be back soon to share this!

And before I go, I wanna shout out to all the lovely ladies who have commented, my lovely friends from Dirty Scraps, Tomoko and Emeline, thanks so much for your encouraging comments!!
They mean the world to me, and that's what keeps me blogging too.
Have a great week ahead!
