Hello scrappers !

Raw Chipboards are such interesting products to work with. There are so many ways you can alter them, your imagination is all you need - paint, glitter, embossing, covered in pattern paper. The Design Team worked on Australian Buzz and Bloom products for this week  and you will see how they add a very interesting appeal and texture to your layouts. This year Buzz and Bloom introduced their new fabric series in cool Denim and Cord in a variety of frames and circle embellishments. In the store they are displayed right by the entrance, you can’t miss them !

Emeline used brights with this cute page about her daughter.

Yin Wen created a freestyle layout with clever proportions and misting.

This is mine and I used glitter to sparkle up the layout.

Details of the products we used are in the Design Team Gallery, please do browse through them.

As well, there are fabulous Maya Road Chipboard mini books altered by Geraldine and Pooi Pooi to help you with ideas on how to start one on your own.

Emeline’s fun Challenge closes this Wednesday and there is still time to take part.

September is almost at an end and October will bring the rounds of PSLE, O and A level examinations for Singapore students. We would like to wish students and their parents all the very best for succcess, liberally laced with calm and positive thoughts.

Keep those amazing pages coming into the Gallery and I’ll see you next week !

Hi Scrappers ! We hope you are enjoying  the unbeatable F1 offers at the store including this round’s 30% off Sizzix products !

First, we would like to thank all the scrappers who have uploaded layouts and projects making the Gallery ROARING HOT with fabulous work in all styles. We just know the many ideas will be points of inspiration for any scrapper who browses through. Choosing a layout to feature in this blog is such an interesting exercise as each Design Team member has brands or styles they like and this has resulted in a varied blend of layouts picked from the Gallery.

Congratulations !!! Brownbox’s gallery is  **here** 

Geraldine said :  ……. I love how the selection of PPs and Embelishments and even the photos blend in so well with the Fancy Pant Paper. The framing of the little photos are amazing! I can’t even differentiate if they are rub-ons or doodling! Everything just seems to come in a piece !

***********************************

Remember - Emeline’s Repurpose, Reinvent Challenge is open and you have a few days more to post your layouts ! Post your layouts  ** here ** . It’s fun and will really take you out of your usual scrapping zone !

And in case you did not catch it - Lewis Hamilton of the McClaren-Mercedes Team is the winner of the Singapore Grand Prix 2009.

Hello Scrappers and how was your long weekend ? I hope you had fun with family or friends and managed to scrap a few layouts as well.

Trendy Thursady saw the arrival of  TPC (The Paper Company Studio), a new to Singapore manufacturer with an amazing range of products with seven, yes *SEVEN* collections complete with matching embellishments including the so-much-fun Bad to the Bone, perfect for your much loved doggy baby !! Vintage styled scrappers will fall totally in love with the Ancestral and Time to Travel Collections.

The Design Team worked their magic on the papers and this is what they did …….

Sharon created this strong vintage layout and added her unique, layered, art grunge style !

Geraldine scrapped an adorable, textured, 3-D layout complete with branches and the fun hanging alphabets.

These layouts will be in the store for you to look at them close-up, definitely you will be prompted to the endless possibilities of TPC Studio products. Don’t be afraid of trying new material as very often they will add to or even jump start your creative engines especially if you’ve been feeling stuck. Aside from that, the Made With Love Gallery is bursting with fabulous work by Singapore based scrappers and you will surely find a project that could be an inspiration or a source of ideas for you. Remember, do share your work with the store’s scrapping community, it’s easy and it’s so much more fun getting positive responses from other scrappers !

Have a great week ahead, it’s a short one so …….. stay happy and keep scrapping !!
