Before I leave..

One last update before I leave for Tokyo!

A notebook that I sold at the flea.. 

Will be back to update more projects when I get back from Tokyo. 

I'm uber excited about the trip!!

Please keep me in your prayers and take care in the meantime! :)

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?

KCK design team challenge

I've some good news to share!

Not long ago, Sandy invited me to join the KCK challenge design team as one of the 5 designers.

KCK is pretty new in the crafting industry but their products rock socks!

This is what I've done for them for the challenge starting from 6th September which is TODAY!

Do leave me a comment over at their blog to get a chance to win a fabulous $10 KCK voucher now. Thank you in advance! :)

In the midst of all these awesome things happening my way, I must not forget to thank you for being with me, leaving me encouraging comments and emails.

Most of all, thank God for everything good!

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

1 Timothy 4:4

Welcome in June..

No, my photoshop didn't appear like how it disappeared.

Praise the lord for free software like PhotoScape!

It's not only pretty good for enhancing photos (like contrasting and sharpening, that's all the noobish me know!), it gives pretty collage photos too!

I had quite some fun playing with it for the past few nights!
Let's see what I've done!
Working on some baby projects that I'll be teaching for a cause.
I'm so excited about it really!
Will share the information on how to get on the class once everything's arranged!

You can't believe this baby is now 7!

My cute little cousin on his first day of school earlier this year!
I just heard some pride from him the other day, he's the monitor in class!
I can't stop laughing, this favourite boy of mine is off on a good start, isn't he?!

Poor resolution, my only complaint of my iphone.
Other than that, I love it to bits!

A collage of my studio shoots before I go!

I am proud to be the model for my friend's newly-launched blogshop called Challures!
Love that name and the clothes are awesome!
I even bought 2 more after getting 5 complimentary pieces from them!
Do drop by and support them!

I heard they're providing free mailing if you sign up to be on their mailing list!


And one more great news to share!!
I've been wanting to share since a month ago, and I'm so glad it has materialised!
I'm an instructor for the kids scrapbooking class for Made with Love!
It's such a huge honour being invited to teach the kids!
Thanks Swee Ching, Elvi and Sandra for the invitation, I can't wait to start my first class on the 8th of June!
Here's a peek of what I'll be teaching for the kids' class!
It's called "Home Improvement"
Quite of funny, I wonder who came up with this funny name!

If you’re eager to add your splash of creativity to your room or private space at home, come for this super fun workshop as you complete 2 super duper home décor projects.
Have heaps of fun playing with tools and really cool design ideas as you create an interactive doorknob hanger and a uniquely decorated photo frame you’ll be proud to show to one and all who come to visit you!
Things to bring along :: tape glue, foam dots and scissors.

I'll be teaching on the 8th, 10th and 19th of June.
You check out the schedule for the class here.

And so, June has finally arrived.
I hope May has treated all of you as well as it has treated me.
I'll be working on my June schedule tonight. It's scary working on it, really..
5 photo shoots, 4 scrapbook classes, 4 days of modeling at Broadcast Asia, 3 weekends of flagging off the Panaflex campaign, more than 20 nights of doing the World cup event at Sentosa, not to mention my daytime job of teaching along with the Young Scientists' Day I'm organising for the kids..

All these are happening in June.
All in a month, all with me in them.
So, do pray for the health and energy that the Lord will bless me with! :)

Oh yeah, I've so much to update this post!! Hee
It's gonna be my 2 year blog-anniversary!
I'm preparing some little scrappy goodies to give away next week! :)
Till the next post, remained blessed!

Love,
Lynn :)

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.
:)

February GDT for Webster's Pages

Have you checked this out?

These are the layouts and cards I did for Webster's pages as their February guest designer! Needless to say, they're my favourite layouts of the moment!

life . beautiful


Everything I find beautiful about nature is housed right here in this layout.
Butterflies, the beautiful tree from Nature's storybook, roses and leaves, me and the boyfriend, laces and the blue misting from Tattered angels that make the sky..






Beauty Queens


These papers are perfect to pull off a glamorous and dreamy layout like this!










Cherish this love


I love ALL the trims from Websters.
They're so gorgeous I need a layout to focus on them!

One of the Valentine's gifts I'm planning to give to my boyfriend.
Sometimes we need to remind each other to cherish this love that is not easy to come by, don't we?






birdcage thanks card



xoxo card


This is my favourite card of all!
I embossed and cut the bonnet for the cute mannequin and decorated it with beautiful pearls and Webster's pink trims.
I also used my favourite flower lace trim from Webster's.
It's really really gorgeous I tell you!

I apologize for the long post but I'm just too excited to show you what I've done with the beautiful papers!

Of course, I shouldn't sign off without gratitude..

Special thanks to Joanna for following the sneak peeks!!
I really appreciate it alot!
You've gotten Sneaky peeky 1 and 3 correct so I'll be mailing out your RAKs soon!! :)

To the kind souls who drop by often, thanks a million!
Your comments and well wishes are vital to keep me going. :)

Do join the vibrant community at Webster's to post your work there.
They're the loveliest bunch of ladies to share your work with!!

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!
