We hope you are still enjoying the post Christmas atmosphere and the presents. New Year is just around the corner and we would like to wish everyone much success, lots of happiness and many inspired moments for your scrapping projects.

This week’s layout from the  Gallery  was picked by  Emeline..  and is the final choice for 2008. Many of you will know of this impressive scrapper with her spectacular body of work who is based in France and runs her own Green Frog Studio,  is on Design Teams of  Hambly and Prima and is a Tattered Angels Educator.

Emeline said : I was totally captivated by the photo ….love the silhouette picture ! There is so many ways to incorporate textures on a page and I love how this page illustrates some of the many ways to incorporate textures ….the distressed edges, different elements, trims and even the cloud edges are distressed.

Thank you Celine for this amazing layout and for dropping by the forum to play  38 Questions !

And finally …. the long awaited blog update for the event of this month of Dec ‘08. What better way than to end this year with a bang with a crop like no other!!!

This was a crop for die-hard fans of Elsie Flannigan. It was a very sad day when we learnt that Elsie Flannigan would no longer be designing for her Love, Elsie brand by Ki Memories. A number of you requested that we have a Love, Elsie crop to celebrate this amazingly fun brand.

Well, you spoke and we heard soooooo ….. Jas, bless the dear girl …. worked round the clock to churn out absolutely delightful projects for this one-of-a-kind workshop cum crop!!!

 

This was a crop like no other and it was certainly a productive one as crop attendees aimed to finish a total of 8 layouts on top of other creative projects despite having challenges thrown at them sporadically and not to mention shopping specials that they could enjoy.

As if completing a grand total of 12 creative projects was not tough enough, we threw in group challenges with supplies from Love, Elsie to be won!!!

There was a tag challenge where crop attendees breezed through … … with this bunch of crop attendees who completed the tags in the fastest times ….

 

 … and even a quiz to find out just how much everyone knew about Elsie Flannigan!

Some resorted to logging on to Elsie Flannigan’s blog via their blackberrys as seen above …

Whilst others relied on their wit in this nail-biting challenge … …

But it was ultimately this team below who won the prize for getting the most number of answers correct!!!

It was a lovely time of friendships made and with scrapping skills put to the gruelling test!!!

What a day it was!!! We’re pretty sure everyone was totally knackered after 6 hours of non-stop scrapping and shopping!!! But judging from crop attendees’ posts on our online forum after the event … looks like everyone, not only survived the crop but lived to report tales of success and ultimate satisfaction at having completed so many pretty projects with the most fabulous of supplies from Love, Elsie.

Hello everyone. We hope you are all prepared presents-wise for the coming Christmas and enjoying the shopping fun along the Orchard Road malls which are sparkling with tinsel and glitter. Everywhere there were crowds and the atmosphere is truly festive with the stores going all out to woo customers with an amazing array of beautiful products.

Amidst all the fun and feasting that will follow, let’s take a little time to remember that this season’s message is about love and family. This week’s layout adds the perfect note to usher in this Christmas and we would like to announce ……….

We love how  Michelle uses pale Primas, Maya Road sheers and pearls to add a soft, romantic feel to this very special layout titled Love.

Thank you Michelle for adding this memorable layout to the Gallery and for being an inspiration on how to create romance in a layout.
