SSD FOBTY 1/29

You Will Keep Your New Year's Resolution

You planning on making a resolution that's smart, attainable, and perfect for where your life is.

Will You Keep Your New Year's Resolution?

SSD Blog Challenge

For the FOBTY this week, the prompt is about cupcakes. What's our favourite kind? Well, mine would be moist chocolate, with buttercream. The more moist the better... Yummy! *sighs* Now I'm craving for some. I don't know how to make them so we usually buy them. Well, not exactly usually but in the rare occasion that we need cupcakes, we would order them. Sometimes we don't need special occasion. My sister would order them, just because. LOL!

New Release: The Boys are Back! & Room for Photos Set 2...

Hey guys!!

This is just gonna be a quick post cos I'm still feeling feverish. I started feeling not well at all during my second class last night and on the way home, I started feeling headache-y. Ugh! I rarely get sick, just a bit of flu here and there, so to have a fever really sucks. I had to miss my morning class today and I really felt bad cos it's Statistics and I'm really bad at that and needed all the help I can get. Oh well, me being there with a pounding headache and sneezing is not gonna help either, so whatever...

Anyway, I had just released my newest kit and template pack. Here are the previews..

(Get it at ScrapMatters or Sunshine Studio Scraps)
Only $1 this week!!

(Get it at ScrapMatters or Sunshine Studio Scraps)
Only $3.50 this week!!

The template is designed with Project 365 in mind but you can of course use them for any other multi-photo layouts. As for the kit, as I told you guys in the post below (with the sneak peek), it was supposed to be a somewhat companion kit for It's A Girl's World. When I released the girl kit, I was already nearly done with the boy kit when my EHD kinda crashed and I lost all the things in the folder that I stored the kit in. But it's resurrected now, using the same colors, different patterns and elements... better than ever, if I do say so myself. LOL!! Oh well, just look at the awesome LOs my CT cranked out will ya? They are the greatest!!

Off I go to rest now... have fun guys!!

Sneak Peek ... Coming Friday!!

I just thought it would be fun to give you guys a sneak peek of what will be released on Friday. I have a kit and a template pack. :)

I'm really excited about the kit cos I had been holding on to it for so long. It was supposed to be a companion kit to It's A Girl's World but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to hold it back. But now it's ready to be released. I will also have an add-on to it (as usual) so do check back for that, alright?

As for the template, let's just say it MIGHT make scrapping your Project 365 photos easier.. :D

Alright, I'm out! I'm at work now so I would have to do some actual work, or else this would be called scrapping hours, or designing hours instead of working hours. LOL!

You Are a Reluctant Shopper

You really don't enjoy shopping. For you, it's just another chore.

You approach shopping systematically. You research what you're going to buy and come prepared with a list.

Of all the types, you are the most likely to not buy things you don't need.

You try to de-emphasize stuff in your life. You find shopping and buying things to be a rather empty experience.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Oh, this is so true! I hate shopping especially for clothes. I don't mind spending my money on good books and digital scrapbook supplies but not clothes.

New Release: Kristin-spiration

Hey guys!!

For this week, I have a new set of template pack that is based on layouts by Kristin aka flattsgurl. I knew Kristin because we are on Nicole's (aka Sugarplum Paperie) CT and I have always been a fan of her layouts, so when I asked her whether I could turn some of her LOs into templates and she said yes, I was overjoyed. So here's my newest inspiration set, thanks to Kristin.. And for the rest of the week, you can get it for only $1, either at SM or SUN.

Here are the layouts that I lifted them from. Aren't they gorgeous??

Here are the layouts that my team had come up with.. :)

I just managed to play around with it and came up with this LO.. :)

Here's my little gift for you today. If you do a layout with it, please feel free to send me an email (star4dreamATyahooDOTcom) with a link to the layout. You might just get a little something from me.. :)

Have a nice day, everyone!!

p.s: Do check out the Sunny Sunday section at Sunshine Studio Scraps on Sunday. I've put up some of my template packs for sale!

Snow Test!

This is for the blog challenge at SSD.. We don't have snow here in Malaysia, so I just imagined what the situation would be like if we do have snow here.. :)

Your Snow Test Says You're Agreeable

You feel like something good will happen to you eventually, but not soon. You love to work, especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist. You are a cooperative, agreeable person. You enjoy the company of others, and you enjoy compromising for the good of the group. Your biggest worry in your life is your health. You tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac. When it comes time to relax, you always go the extra mile. You take relaxing as seriously as anything else in life.

CT Layouts with Stripped Set 4...

Hey guys, just thought I would post some of my CT layouts that they made using Stripped Set 4. They're awesome!!

And oh, if you haven't picked up my kit All Loved Up yet, now is the perfect time to get it. For the rest of January, the kit will be priced at $3.85, ONLY AT SCRAPMATTERS! Why? Because it's the featured kit for the January Quick Page Exchange.

Well, I'll see you guys on Friday for a new release this week. :)

New Release: Stripped Set 4 (and a few other things)

Happy New Year, everyone!! Hope you had fun ringing in the new year. I was stuck in bed, scrapping until it was close to midnight and believe me when I say that is where I wanna be. LOL!

So, I was just lounging around the house today, watching movies, thinking about the start of my postgraduate classes tomorrow when suddenly I thought that I should come up with a new template pack for this week's release. So here you go, Stripped Set 4. I turned some of my recent layouts into these and love it oh so much!! You can get it now for only $1 during the weekend, either at ScrapMatters or Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Anyway, I've jumped into the Project 365 bandwagon too and I have set up a separate blog for that. I've tried doing Photo-A-Day (or its variation) before but got stopped after a couple of weeks but for this year, I'm determined to do it. I need to brush up on my photography skills and what better way to do it than this, right? Let's just hope that I'll stick to it this time.

Well, I guess that's part of my New Year's so-called resolution anyway. Other than that, I would love to lose my excess weight. I've gotten so chubby it's not even funny. I'm starting today and it's getting good. I've been drinking lots of water too. Another thing that I would love to achieve is to scrap more. I remembered last year I made a goal to scrap at least 100 layouts before year end, and I managed to achieve that goal before April. So I changed my goal to 250 and managed to achieve that in July. By December 31st, I had scrapped 365 layouts. So for 2009, I would like to have a goal of scrapping 365 layouts again and maybe more..

Before I go, here's a look back at my layouts of 2008. I picked my favourites from each month. Earlier in the year, it was so easy to pick because my layouts were just simple and really bland, but towards the end, there were soooo many beautiful layouts (well, at least they ARE beautiful to me!!) to choose from. I'm glad I did this cos I can see how much I had grown scrapping wise. My layouts might not be in gallery standouts every other day, but I'm happy with them. :)

If you have read everything that I had written, you definitely deserved a little gift. Here's a template I made from the first layout I ever made in 2008. Enjoy! (And hey, if you do a layout with this template, why don't you email them to me before January 14th? I'll choose a few people randomly to give GCs to. How does that sound? My email address is star4dreamATyahooDOTcom)

Have a good day/night everyone. I'm gonna enjoy tonight to the max cos I'll start postgrad classes tomorrow and next Monday, work will be on full swing since the students are now back on campus.

New Release: Learning Curve & Vellum Strips!

*climbs out from under the rock*

Gosh, I had been soooo busy, it's not even funny. There were tons of papers to mark and not to mention that I was busy preparing myself to be a postgraduate student. Yes, I registered for Master's classes on the 20th and will be starting classes in the first week of January. That's gonna keep me busy for a while. Kinda scared at the thought of going back to school but at the same time, I'm excited for this new chapter of my life.

So anyway, without further ado, here are my new releases this week. First up is the Learning Curve, a kit with a burst of primary colors amidst all the winter ones. It's a bit learning-centric but still perfect for other pages as well. Anyway, a few weeks ago, my niece came over and proudly showed off her new kindergarten uniform, hence this kit. I can't believe my niece is big enough to start going to kindy! It seems like it was only yesterday that she was born, and then toddling around, babbling, etc, etc.. Time flies too fast!! (In Malaysia, new school year starts in January)

Until the end of December, you can get the kit for only $3.50. That's 36% off. You can get it either at SM or SUN.

I also have these word art type elements in my stores right now, called Vellum Strips. There are two versions right now: girls and boys. I had so much fun with these, and definitely will be coming up with more soon... :) Anyway, until the end of December, you can get these for only $1 each!

Before I leave, here's an addon to Learning Curve!

Hey guys, it's grab bag time again. Don't you just love grab bags?? I know I do, especially if they're by my favourite designers. Anyway, especially for Black Friday, I've managed to pack three template packs and one element pack into my grab bag, for one low price: $3!! Here's a sneak peek.. It's available both in SM and SUN! (p.s: The price of the grab bag at SUN was shown as $6 but it's really only $3!!)
