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!

Baby boy Ammar gift

Here is the mini album done at Papier's make-n-take that was conducted by ever lovely Jessy during Papier's Aloha party. I decorated the album as a gift to a dear friend, who just had her 2nd boy about 2 months ago. The album is very simple to make, and is perfect for gifts. I hope that my friend likes it.

Papier's Aloha party

Last Sunday, we had a rockin' good fun at Papier's Aloha party! Together with my friends Faz (newbie scrapper) and Sakeenah (revived scrapper), I had lots of fun. The theme was of course, Hawaiian, and Jessy made sure that I wear both the hula skirt AND the flowers string. I do looked silly, but what the heck, it was for the fun of it. (Thanks Jessy for dressing me up! haha).

We started with a make and take session by the RD Jessy. We made a simple mini by using only one pattern paper, perfect for a quick gifts to friends or family (another homework by Jessy!). Next we had a Slice demo by GD Rosa, kind of like promoting the tool too. I would love to have one, but is costs almost RM900!!! It will be long term investment, if you use it often enough, and won't buy any ready-made stickers or letters.. hehehe.. I would like to own a die-cut cutter, but not in the near future.. (no budget).

After that we played games.. First, we played treasure hunt, where the answers are products in the store. Some questions were very tricky, but luckily my team was good! But we were not fast enough and ended up in 2nd place. The 1st place team continued to limbo rock. Faz was in that team and suprise suprise.. she rocked in limbo rock!! (hidden talent??) She was among the last two standing.. but she lost in the end.. but it's OK sis, good job! hehe.. Lastly, we played passing the coconut.. Each of us took out a piece of paper from the coconut and read it aloud. Some of us got lucky and got free gift (like Faz), but being me, I was amongst the unlucky ones.. Together with Sakeenah, we had to spell ALOHA.. with our butts!!! (very funny, Jessy!)

Papier also had hourly sale for papers, tools, embellishments and stamps.. Just wish that they didnt do it hourly, since we had to pay over and over again.. it will be easier if we just pay at the end (plus you can't use credit card with below RM50 purchases, lucky that I had enough cash). I didn't buy a lot, but I did bought all the Prima glitters left in the store (sorry, Jessy! hehe).. And of course, we had lovely finger foods after that.. I do meet some new scrapper friends, too! All in all, it was a tiring but fun day indeed!!
