~ Val C Designs & Erica Zwart: Emotions ~

Val & Erica came up with a collaboration kit entitled 'Emotions', available at Oscraps. I'm loving Val's kits as it so suits my style of scrapping. 

Here's my page:

My wee one together with another classmate created this 'wonder' of the world, Chichen Itza. His class held a Travel Fayre for parents to see what they have done. Have to say, I'm impressed with the way the school curriculum is going. It certainly does engage the children in learning by keeping them busy with projects. He even created a brochure to go along with his project. TTFN!

Val has been featured on Real Life Scrapped as seen here. On her FB page, there's a add-on kit for grabs too! 

There is also a challenge going on at Oscraps and a freebie to help with the challenge too! The challenge is based upon this poster as inspiration:

~ Val C. Designs: Grandpa ~

Val released this new kit entitled 'Grandpa'. This kit is a tribute to her grandpa whom she lost recently. The kit is available at Oscraps and is currently on sale at 20%. 

Here's my page. Seeing this kit reminds me of my dad, not being near his grandsons. 

It must be heartbreaking saying goodbye to them after having them for 6 weeks and not seeing them again for another year. Thank goodness for FaceTime which has allowed him to communicate frequently with them. TTFN!

Val initiated a Chinese Whisper game among the CT and it was interesting to see how the various LOs undergo a different change as it passes down the line. Here's the LO she choose for us to scraplift. In case anyone is wondering, Chinese Whisper is a game whereby the first person whispers something into the ears of the 2nd, the 2nd passes on to the 3rd and it goes on. By the time the last person gets the message, it's completely different from what was whispered initially. Bring this game into the crafting arena and the 1st person scraplifts from a LO, she shows her scraplifted LO to the 2nd who then scraplift and pass to the 3rd etc. Finally the entire LOs are revealed to see the various changes as it passes on from person to person. Here's the LO that Val chose. 

Original LO done by Heather Prins

I scraplifted from Dumpty and here is her LO: 

Here's mine:

Supplies:
Val C. Designs: Discover
Font: Pea Emmie

It was fun playing the game and I enjoyed seeing the final LOs of the other gals! The one thing that remained common among us was the use of 2 patterned papers and a single photo. TTFN!

~ Val C. Designs & T For Me: Summer Party ~

The Summer Party kit is in the Oscraps store today. It's not a new kit as it was previously sold at Zig Zag Scrap before but definitely new at Oscraps. 

Not played with this kit before so I had a go and came up with this LO:

There is a story behind this page. While in Shanghai, my best friend decided to have a BBQ on Saturday, the night before I was due to leave. So E and I went shopping to get food and we prepared everything, including the satay and the sauce, garlic bread etc. The man of the house cooked it and burnt it and even spilled the wine. To say dinner was tense was an understatement. Fortunately, their wee one kept very silent throughout the tense situation. I later broke the ice by commenting on it and we all had a good laugh over it! Oh well, nothing like a little drama to spice life up! TTFN!
