Hi everyone !! It’s a wet, cool Sunday, a good day for staying home to scrap your heart out !!! Inspiration is a funny thing ? It lives in all of us and expresses itself in different forms like crafting, cooking, in the written word or simply how we relate to people. In scrapbooking, we are often surprised by the ideas that create a page and food is one of the more interesting choices for a topic.

This week’s layout was picked by Pooi Pooi  :

LOTW #42 

{ Designed by Tinkerbell !!! }

Congratulations Tinkerbell  !

Pooi Pooi said : …… The layout is sooooo ‘yummy’! I like the creative use of circles and the entire composition is so eye-catching. Don’t you feel like going to eat Japanese food after seeing this layout? LET’S GO !!!

Yes, the layout certainly makes Japanese food look tempting.

We would like to thank all the scrappers who have shared their work in the Gallery. It is a real pleasure browsing through the amazing layouts and projects …… please keep them coming. This is it from me today and I will be back tomorrow with two layouts by Geraldine and Sharon, as well as the result of the Scrap by Numbers Challenge !

Keep scrapping, Aida

So what do you think? Come be a part of our event of the month as we look forward to celebrating our country’s 44th year of independence in this final week of 2009 National Day celebrations at Made With Love!

Hello scrappers !

Last Thursday saw an explosion of the good kind - lots and lots of all new CHA-S products bursting upon the scrappers in the store ! The Made With Love Gals are absolute sticklers when it comes to getting us the latest and the trendiest - going without sleep to track the shipments, staying up till 2am to call US manufacturers during US office hours and of course Chenta and her crew working full out stocking the shelves …… ohhh the things they will do just for us !!!! It’s no wonder we see the REALLY good stuff, stuff every scrapper looks forward to after each CHA, stuff scrappers outside of Singapore talk about.

An ever popular brand is KI Memories with their eye popping variety of zany brights to elegant black and whites, the glitter lace and you’ve certainly got to love how they have managed to create all manner of scrapbook embellishments.

This week two of the Design Team set out to transform KI products into layouts and let me tell you ……. the word *amazing* ….. will not be enough to describe the pages.

Pooi Pooi in her usual *ka-pow* style, aided by the cuteness of her son, treats us to this riot of colour and fun !

 

Just when you think Piradee has cornered the market on creating elegant layouts, she twists it around and here you see a playful layout with quirky details :

Irene-Gwen has taken a short break this week and will be back with her stunning contributions.

So …….. the question is : have you snagged any KI Memories at the store ? Share your layouts with us in the Gallery because it is always great fun to see the fresh creations of Singapore based scrappers …….. we know there are good scrapping talents out there who should be showing their stuff.

Here’s wishing you a smooth and easy week ahead, keep scrapping ! Aida
