fontwerks workshop

finally! a day to jump start my mojo! yea, kinda lost it while i was away vacationing, er, baby-sitting my kids! and what a way to get it up and running, a workshop with kah-mei smith, owner of fontwerks, no less!

obviously, i was much too excited to get started i failed to take a decent photo of my kit contents! hehehe!!


actually, the morning activity kicked off with some shopping, as usual =) then we got down and dirty by painting up some portions of the chipboard album and a few pieces of chipboard shapes. with that done and set aside, everybody got busy cutting up several pieces of papers into teeny-tiny shapes to be used for our project. i think all the measuring and cutting up triggered everybody's appetite, thankfully soon after, lunch was announced! yay!


after lunch, we started putting everything together. learned a few new techniques along the way and had fun waiting for our names to be called out for some raffle prizes! tee-hee!! i managed to bag a journaling stamp, a huge bottle of acrylic paint, and a sheet of chipboard shapes. fun! no photos to show for these :(

at 4:30, we started packing up and doing more shopping. and yes, a workshop won't be complete without some photos to cap it off!




Thanks, Kah-mei and Sahrie for this wonderful event!

...and here it is. a new mini to tuck into my portfolio:

made in bacolod

decided to work on a few more challenges much to the dismay of DH who wanted me to tag along with him when he stepped out of the house :p

for a sketch challenge


for a simple 6x6 page

cropping good time

spending some time off with my in-laws in bacolod... but i decided to bring some scrappy stuff with me =)

who knew my mini pink tote could hold so much stuff!! this is the 2nd time i took it to bacolod and it hasn't let me down!! haha!! although i had to store my papers elsewhere. i'm glad i can at least scrap something while i'm here! (i hope!) thanks for putting up with me, tubbyboyboy!!

I joined the VMAA (Virtual Meeting of A Muse Addicts) just now and we were required to make each card in 30 minutes or less. The theme for the evening was 70s! here's what i came up with

Challenge 1 - Let it Be - use only paper, stamps and ink


Challenge 2 - Disco Ball - use glitter of the old school, messy kind


Challenge 3 - Do the Hustle - sketch challenge - had to use a makeshift circle template and scissors for this as I didn't think to bring any of my punchers


Challenge 4 - Saturday Night Fever - taking inspiration from John Travolta's B&W suit, we had to use only B&W!


Bonus Challenge - Happy Days - use the word weekend to inspire a card design. hmmm... i didn't think to bring all my a muse stamps, haha! so i just used DH's idea of a weekend on this card (well, it's not that i have that many to begin with, haha! it's just that i didn't bring more than half of what i have)


This one's for a challenge at the CC crop happening this weekend as well!


This here batch of cards is for another crop challenge at ittybitty. good thing we were allowed to pre-make these so i worked on these before we left town.

Oh but I had to cut my scrapping time short as my printer ran out of ink!!! :o ohmy! didn't know my inkwell was going to dry up this soon! Actually, I didn't know having a photo printer was so convenient, I ended up printing most of my photos out of it! HEHEHE. Oh but darn if my pocketbook's going to be happy about how much I needed to shell out for a new set of ink colors!
