Piradee's Shadowbox Workshop @ Scrappingville

Last Saturday I had the privilege of attending Piradee Talvana's workshop at our LSS Scrapingville and we had a blast! The project was a wooden mistable shadowbox by Pink Paislee and we were playing with the beautiful and whimsical Nantucket collection. On top of that Sharon, so generous, bless her, baked a cake for us and also had a lucky draw where we all got to take home some scrapping goodies! What a day :)

Here are just some photo updates of the awesome session we had with her :)

That's me and Sharon holding Piradee's Shadow Box.

These die-cuts are just so awesome!

Mine! Halfway done... a mini album will sit at the left corner.

Sharon's having fun too!

With the talented and fabulous Piradee in the centre!

Bargain bin just for the 2 workshop days! COOLNESS!

More special sale on Pink Paislee!!! Who can resist???

On the second day, Piradee thought a mini album, but sadly I could not make it for that class as I had no babysitter :( *boohoohoo* But still, I'm glad I got to make that amazing shadow box and mini album. The PP Mistables are so much fun. I can't wait to get my photos ready and fill up the project to completion and share them here, soon, I hope :)

Thanks for looking! Have a lovely day :)

Good News to Share!

I've been out of the picture this week as my poor baby fell sick with acute tonsilitis, which to me sounds like some kind of glorified nasty bacterial throat infection which gave him really high fever and white patches on his throat. As you can imagine, mummy and daddy have been suffering from severe lack of sleep over tha past few days. He is much better now, recovering very well and life is starting to go back on routine. Praise God for that!

Well, aside from that, let's move on to some happy news... I'm delighted to share that I've been given the wonderful oppurtunity to be one of the resident designers at Scrappingville, our neighbourhood scrapping boutique, along with Yuz of Blossominch. For the next six months or so we will be working with the latest most happening kits and collections and we'll be showing you how to create wonders with them! Do check out Scrappingville's blog for more information or if you;re in KL/PJ, do pop by and drool over the amazing array of scrapping goodies.

Your neighbourhood scrapbook store!
Locaed at Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Anyway, come August, I will be conducting a couple of classes using 2 of the latest kits in town; 7 Gypsies Lillie and Prima's Botanicals. If you've been waiting for these collections, check them out at Scrappingville as they bring in the embellishments and other ephemeras along with the papers.

Here's a sneak preview of what's coming up in August ... class details and schedules will be available by end of the month. You may enquire at Scrappingville or just leave me a note and I'll come back to you.
