A quick post for Anita's fans

So sorry it's gonna be a hit-and-run post again. I'm super busy these days and here's one of the reasons why:

Neill is studying hard for the semester final exam. All my fingers and toes are crossed that he gets some good grades!!! Please wish him luck too! :)

* * * * *

Anita (Designs by Anita) is going crazy! LOL! Oh but you are going to love this. I mean, she is going crazy with give-aways, RAKs, and a whole lot of freebies!

She has a new gorgeous kit, a collaboration with Joyce Paul called Just Breathe, out this Friday. You have a chance to win this kit just by leaving comments on Anita's and Joyce's blogs or tweeting and FB'ing about it. RAK ends Thursday night (Dutch time) so don't forget to check your time difference first. :)

There's more! Anita also just started with Facebook and Twitter recently and she couldn't wait to get the party going.

So this Friday evening (again, Dutch time) she will be giving away coupons at her Twitter account. Some lucky followers (it will be a double digit number!!) will get a product for FREE! And.... everytime the follower count goes up to 100+, Anita said she will throw in a freebie or a huge coupon too. :D

What are you waiting for, then? Head over there immediately or go to Anita's blog to read the details now! :)

I'm turning back the clock at DSC! :D

Well, not really. LOL! It's just for this month's What's in the Coffee Cup Challenge!

For October 2010 I decided that we’ll revisit some of DSC’s discontinued challenges (the oldies but goodies.) :) Those who have been to the forum last year might remember that we used to have Quote, Color, and C&S Challenges. Now we will see the combination of all that!

I won't bore you with details here. You can go and read all about it from the DSC blog and the challenge thread. (And please do drop by because there will be a special gift for ALL participants of the challenge!!) I'm just gonna tell you how excited I am hosting it. I think it's a wonderful combination and I had such a great fun creating this example layout!

So here's my interpretation of this month's CCC:

Journaling reads:
You just started training for badminton recently
and already it has become your latest passion.
You are not really light on your feet yet but you have keen eyes and great reflexes.
We don't know yet if you'd make the school team in time
for the upcoming inter-school tournament, but you definitely gave it your all.
Even if it doesn't come out the way we want,
this will surely be the start of another great journey for you.

The kit used for this layout is Defiant by one of Digital Scrap Cafe's exciting new designers, Dream Big Designs!


It's such a perfect kit for boys, especially ones who love rock music and into all rebellous kinds of activities. It's totally made for my Neill! LOL!! I just love it so much and probably will create more LOs with it when I can find time.

The WA in the layout is from my own Journey Word Art set that was the September CCC participation prize.



You still have a chance to get the whole set, if you want to, just by joining in the October CCC Challenge. Click the preview below and pick up this one word art freebie to make the layout per the CCC directions and submit to the thread! I'll be waiting for you there. :)

Going on The Trails with Camp Giggle

Sorry! The blog was supposed to be updated at least half a day ago but we were enjoying my sister's birthday dinner I didn't get a chance to boot up the computer. That Japanese restaurant was fantastic, by the way. I really loved my tofu and grilled leeks! :)

Got a new layout to show you again. The pictures were from our South Africa trip last year. Papa took us to the Pretoria zoo and it was so much fun! I actually took dozens of pictures there that I intended to scrap one day (mostly of animals and the zoo's fabulous signage design.) It's almost a year past though and I guess they still have to wait a little longer. LOL

Neill had such a wonderful day with Ouma and Oupa exploring the Pretoria zoo
which is known for being the largest zoo in South Africa.
Luckily there were golf carts available
or we wouldn't have made it through the whole 6km. of walkways around!!

The page is not really my usual scrapping style but it did feel nice to try it for a change. I love the outcome too, especially how much it looks like real paper scrapbooking. The lovely and fun kit used for the layout is Rachelle (Designs by Doodelle)'s latest addition to her store: Camp Giggle. (20% off at MScraps all this weekend!)

And, as usual. You can enjoy a taste of this creatively yummy kit of Rachelle as well! Rach lets me turn my layout into a QP freebie to give away here. Just click on the preview below to get your download link.

Don't forget to check Rach's blog and Indy's blog as well. They both have lovely stuff waiting for you to pick up! Oh, and why don't you check back here in a day or two? A little bird told me that there'd be another freebie here. See ya! :)
