Flip Flop Flap

This is a fun thing to do with Jenni Bowlin die-cut bracket shaped papers:

Make a flip-page layout like this:

Layout Title: Simple Joys
here's the flip...In case you're wondering....
The 2 pieces of 'measuring tape paper' serve as hinges. They are partly hidden inside the flipping page and the other part attached to the layout. Kind of like two letter 'L's standing back to back....not sure if you know what I mean....

Hey hey, gotta go. Duty calls.

Happy Days are Here Again

Exams are over, weather's (quite) nice, no need to bug kids about schoolwork and studying....tra...laa...laa. I am happy!

And here's a happy sunshiney page to match the mood:

See the flag-petal flowers? - Flag-petal flowers make me happy.
See the flower stems made from leftover bits of brackets - bracket-bits-flower stems make me happy.

See the Kodachrome slide stamp? - Kodachrome slides make me happy
See the tiny cat and the house and the bicycle and the tree? - tiny quaint stamps make me happy,

Happy happy happy! Now let's see how long I can stay oblivious to the fact that i have only 10 days left and I haven't started designing ANY classes for December.......tra laaa laa...

Japan Was...

a little cold....but lovely.

the air was dry....
and some places were too crowded...
But we rode the train out to the city....And fell in love with all things Japanese.

Best of all, we had loads of fun......

because we were together....

with the ones we love.

And now.........it's back to work!

It's a Little Chilly in here...

1. I've been making Christmas cards using my Purple Onion stamps. And here is my favourite:
Stamps used: Vintage Snowflake Set and Holiday Border Tape set

Crafty info:
- the snowflakes are stamped on transparency and embossed with white embossing powder then popped up on foam dots....nice.
- Papers are from MME's Lost & Found Portobello Road collection.


2. Laine's Papeterie and Papermarket are gearing up for Christmas! Christmas promos start this month! (Didn't you know? In Singapore, Christmas comes in November!) - so look out for details on the blogs soon! Super good.

3. And the family to going to Japan for some nice chilling out - both literally and figuartively! Woo Hoo!

Kids exams are almost over so the happiness in the air is almost palpable.....yayyyyYyyyy!!!
