Spotlight on Wifey Cookie

I submitted a few of my favourite LOs to the Scrapbook Sisters Challenge Blog, and they were featured today on their site.

Thankful Moments: This LO won me the December GDT spot at Sketchy Thursdays.

Igloo Cuddle: This LO won me some nice goodies from the S4All Get Sketchy Challenge Group.

Yellow Cab Love: This LO showcases one of my favourite photos of me and Hubby Cookie.  And I tried a new technique here called "Embellishment Sneeze".

10 Things I Love About Us: My last LO for 2011 and my most favourite among the lot simply because I love everything that is on it - the photo, the colour, and of course the message of the journalling.

Design Team Memberships

The new design team members of the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog has been announced! And guess who's in it?? :)  Yes, Wifey Cookie made it to the design team! 

This is my second DT assignment.  The first challenge I am participating in as a new DT member is coming up on Saturday - 7th January.  Do watch out for that and maybe join in the fun, too. :)

My first one is at the Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenges which I got into in the last quarter of 2011.  We're now on our third challenge!  And it is a fun one, so check it out! :)

Goodies in the Mail

I was never really excited checking the mail. Usually our mailbox would just contain bills or some fliers.  But lately, it is one of the things I look forward to everyday - checking the mail, and finding some nice paper crafting goodies addressed to me! Yay!!! :)

And yesterday, the package I was so looking forward to receive finally arrived.  It is the Nikki Sivils Gingerbread Land kit I won from S4All.  

An exciting week one for the new year, don't you agree? :)

Sigh. I am surely going to miss doing paper crafts 24/7. From next Monday, I'll be back on the rat race.  But I am not sulking, at least aside from Hubby Cookie's generous sponsorship, I can soon personally support my crafting addiction. Hahaha...

Of course, you'll still see projects from me at least once a week for my DT stints at your favourite challenge blogs.  And you'd see me stalking and participating in a few challenge blogs here and there, too (crossing my fingers).

Cheers to a fantastic 2012 for all us! :)




It's me,

Greetings: Top 5 @ Allsorts Challenge Blog

My Christmas Hanging Ornament made it to Top 5 at the Allsorts Challenge blog for their Going Around in Circles challenge.  As always, it makes me happy and even more motivated to create when my projects get featured in the challenge blogs I join in.  So, thank you so much for this recognition! 

Here is my project.

Greetings: Favourite @ Annabelle Stamps Blog

My festive Christmas tag project was picked favourite at the Annabelle Stamps Blog for their Annabelle  Bling Sketch Challenge 044.

It really made my day, and I just can't stop smiling.  I am personally really proud of this little project of mine as it is my first attempt at a "shaped" creation.  I just usually go for the traditional square or rectangular projects, and this one is a big leap for me.

So, thank you so much for the creative ladies over at Annabelle Stamps for noticing and recognising my work. I will wear your badge proudly on my humble blog!

Here is my Christmas Tag that won them over, by the way. :)
