let me grab this chance to thank all of the ladies who sent their application to be a part of i♥scrap creative team. i had only a few applicants but my-oh-my it was difficult sorting out those applications. but just like i said, i only needed a "really few" on my team since i cannot handle large team (not yet). so, many are not chosen but i hope my thank you gift will ease the sadness. hehehe... again thanks.

i haven't emailed those "really few" ladies i chose to be on my team yet but maybe in a couple of days i will. and i will announce who they are after. *wink*

thank you. thank you. thank you.
deeply from the bottom of y heart.

CT CALL???

i have thought about this over and over for the last 2 weeks. *big grin* i was and still am hesitant if i should be doing this or not. if you're a follower here, you would noticed that i seldom update my blog and i am pretty a slow designer as well. i don't even know if i can be able to maintain a creative team. lol! but i thought why not give it a try and see what happens. i want to believe this will help me get advertisement for my store and people and scrappers would know about iscrap. hehehe... well, here we go...

yes, i am having my very first creative team call. and i am choosing only a few (really few) to be with me (i want to start with a small team *wink*) to create at least 1 layout per kit/product (average of 2 kits/product per month, yes, i am one of those slow designers out there *big grin*); to participate in my personal forum (future forum) and mscraps forum; upload layouts to the mscraps gallery and 2 other galleries of your choice; to promote my products through blogs, facebook and/or twitter; and to scrap only with products that inspires you (i would never want to put pressure on my future creative team).

if interested, submit the following:

- your name & username

- a link to your most complete gallery

- a link to your blog and facebook (if any)

- your current ct's or ct experience (if any)

- a little something about yourself

please send an email to iscrapbyinglim@gmail.com

with "ct call" in the subject line by october 21, 2010.

so excited to here from you...

(((hugs)))

sad news...

It's been 10 months since I started on the Songbird Avenue creative team and every month I am always blessed with how the Songbird have touch the lives of many people including me through their site. As I've always said that Songbird Avenue is a great site with a great cause and I am happy to be a part of it. It's my very first site where I became a CT member. But everything has their ending and it is with sadness that Songbird will be saying goodbye, after this month, September 2010, they will be shutting the site down. You can read it here. I will miss them and I wish them (Jan, Meredith, the rest of the designers, and the cts) more blessings.

So, this will ne the last kit for Songbird Avenue... Everyday Moments with Erin Ink as this month's guest designer and for the benefit of Cancer Research Institute.

Here are a couple of layouts from me.

These are my sister's hubby and daughter in Philippines...

...and this is my sister in Qatar and she just celebrated her birthday last July away from her family.

As for this, it's long overdue already for me. This was the August 2010 kit of Songbird Avenue with Audrey Neal as guest designer and for the benefit of 826 National.

Here's my layouts.

This is my good friend and her family.

Before I go and eat (lol), I'd like to share this layout to you using Miss Tiina's Woodland Moon kit. You should visit her, too, because she got a new site, Sugar Hill Co. and many goodies in their now.

This is a page I made using the Woodland Moon kit. Our close freinds' son, Liam, sleeping in such a position... cute.

There, I'm done. And dont forget, I have a little sneak peek last night or should I say this dawn about my upcoming album templates and quickpages and I'm giving a way 1 each to 2 ladies. *wink*

Till then... take care...

"What Happened"
I recorded here what actually happened during my delivery. I have posted this on my Facebook and I thought of scrapping about it and hopefully print it out for a record. I considered it the peak of our trials last 2009.
