Favourite Layout in December

Layout Title: "The Best Childhood Ever"
I like this layout best of all the layouts I did for December's layout class - just mainly because of the colours and the photos of me when I was little...

Hmm...been using stickles to outline chipboard letters quite a bit...need to break out of that and try something else.

More December Class Favourites

Project Title: "Bon Voyage" (mixed page mini album)

Made this one for my mum and dad who are avid travellers. I think I surprised myself (and everyone else in class) when we were actually able to finish making this album within 3 hours (excluding photos of course). So, its not true that class projects at Laine's "always cannot finish in class one!" (Ok, ok, its true quite a lot of the time - whenever I do 'chao pattern' stuff anyway)

p.s. I'm quite tickled by the tiny circular photos (only 1/2" in size) on the calendar page.

More aluminium foil

Layout Title: "Cars - My All Time Favourite"

My Favourites from this layout:
1. Love that aluminium foil - especially with black paint on it.
2. The photos - nice shadows and angle (good job, Sharon. But next time get the focus right)
3. The 'honk', 'vroom' and 'beep' stamping
4. the little monkey - both the human and the chipboard one

Clean Up, Clean Up, Everybody Everywhere

It's a new year! Happy New Year! Spring Cleaning is in the air at Laine's - we're preparing for stock take, plus there's a great great deal going on at the store - check out the jan 09 newsletter

Basically, you give us 20 sheets of old patterns you don't want, and we give you

1. a $10 voucher that you can use when you buy 20 new pieces of patterned paper you do want
2. a reward stamp
3. some good vibes cos your papers will go to charity, PLUS Laine's will donate 1 sheet for every sheet you give.

Good way to start the year....

Clean Up, clean up, everybody everywhere. Clean Up, clean up, everybody do their share. (Your kids watch(ed) Barney too?)

P.S. you gotta check out the store "Hong Bao" (more like pink bao - Cynthia is very happy) - its got a customiseable square space on the front of the hong bao where you stick a suitable sticker so that you can use the hong bao for Chinese New Year, weddings, birthdays and other occasions. (My sis came up with the idea - seriously, how smart is that?!!)
