Crop party @ Papier

Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day everyone!!!! Great long weekend, and I plan to just stay at home and scrap some more :) This entry is long overdue but here it goes.. It is about the crop party I attended at Papier 2 weeks ago. Of course, Jessy was hosting again, and boy, we sure had fun! This time I am much prepared (after being teased before of bringing a cartload of stuff!), and brought just enough stuff for the party. It was a good crowd.. everyone is relaxing and enjoying themselves (plus panicking at some times)..

The first challenge is of course, the tag challenge. We have to create name tags for the person to our left. I came in late and did one in a rush, that I created for the wrong person! Luckily, I can just changed the name. The tag was really simple.. mine is for jo below.. I used Nikki Sivils cut out tag. My tag was created by Maznah.. also known as Maz. That's why you see you 'Maz' tags! I wonder why most people use pink in their tag. It's pink and red theme anyway for the party!!

After the tags are done, we were on our first challenge, which was to create a layout based on a song. I chose to scrap my children dancing and banging the drums in the studio. Jessy gave great ideas by sharing songs from her iPhone. So, what's more perfect than "I love to.. move it!!" They just loved the song, we played the song over and over and over again (glad that the phase was over). Here we were, busy at work...

And here is my first challenge layout.. love the bright colors, as always :))

The second and last challenge is a bit tougher. We have to create layouts using 6 items from Jessy's long list of scrapping items. I chose to use 3 patterned paper (Jessy was strict about this.. hehe), inks (I used distress ink to ink the paper edges), buttons, red (the strawberries are red), handwritten journaling, and stickers. I used the lovely Nook & Pantry papers from Basic Grey. I realized that the papers matched this picture of Zareef and hubby picking strawberries at Cameron Highlands. So here's my layout..

All in all, we had fun! It's great to mingle with other scrappers once in a while. Will surely join again! Here is the group photo of us gals.. courtesy of Jessy again.. :))) Thanks for all the fun, Jessy!! TFL and have a great new year ahead!
