I think no prob to squeeze in! come and join in! GIve Laine's a call and mention the 7 May wednesday class at 10am. Think should be no problem.
JChew
I like your last LO alot!!! Mosaic pattern is very nice! End of the day, it's really not about who is more advance, scrapbooking is really putting your photos together with some journalling and little embellishments to brighten up the moments that you would like to remember =)
For 3-D effects, actually it's all about layering. I.e., a button placed on a round PP which you've cut out which you can still see the edges. =) or smaller flowers sitting on top of the bigger flowers.

thanks for the welcome CL - i have bought some books and magazines to learn and get some ideas before getting started .. wonder if this is the right way to do it .. oh, i saw the video demo on the revolution .. seems like a cool gadget to get if one is really into scrapbooking ..
hi chicken little... thank you!
i'm not exactly new to this thread... posted some donkey months ago. quite new to scrapbooking cuz the methods i know r very basic.
hv 2 completed LOs... will take pictures n post them but it's nothing compared to all the nice n pro-looking ones here
quickutz... heard it's good and expensive!
but heard that quickutz can only take its own type of dies and not others?
heard good things bout cuttle bug too... almost got it from laines but good self-control thot it would be best to get advice from the seasoned scrappers b4 i get any. how?
magazines... saw some nice ones at MWL. i'm getting some inspirations from the magazines cuz my creative juices r limited
any particular ones that r really good... esp for doin baby's LOs?
actually... if u all hv any informal get-together. will love to join u girls. nice to learn from the seasoned scrappers and get the brain working

i got some from kinokuniya .. can't remember the titles now .. sorry but i also bought some books from there: Scrapbooking Made Easy, Clean and Simple Designs for Scrapbooking: Ideas for Design, Photography, Journaling and Typography and another book on taking pictures for scrapbooks. i wish i could have my own space ie room though cos my current work area is just chocked full of other things ..
have you been to many classes? yah i think that might give me the push that i've been waiting for .. hahaha ..
re: the tools, is the revolution a good investment? i suppose it does have its uses other than just for scrapbooking .. paper crafts, etc .. hmm .. cos it'll be my birthday soon and i don't know if i should hint to the husband about this .. hahahah ..

cuclainne... wow, u've got lotsa books!
i'm go back late every day... so tho i've started scrapbooking sometime ago but only completed 2 LOs
sometimes... i just can't seem to get creative
i've attended START class and the SDU Basic Module at laines. really enjoyable... i find scrapbooking v therapeutic especially when scrapping with a group of people
re the tools... i can't give much advice cuz i'm equally new to these. u just gave me a very BRIGHT idea! my birthday is coming soon TOO and maybe i shld ask my hubby to get me something along these lines instead of having him rack his brains for what to buy. hiakz!

i love to read more about the subject before i go further in it .. love to look at the pictures even more. i've got 2 large bookshelves to myself: cooking, sewing, cross-stitch, etc .. the husband knows better than to stop me .. after all, it's a hobby and a way to de-stress oneself ..
maybe you just need to be stimulated visually to get those creative juices flowing .. just like me .. heheheh ..
yah, i think it's more fun when you go with a group .. but of course, you will also learn if you go on your own .. i've tried asking a colleague of mine if she's interested in going for a class but she's not into it ..
heheheh .. yah, at least you'll know you'll get something that YOU want .. heheheh ..

Cuclainne & Brambles
Welcome to this thread =)
Hope to see your works soon.
Fonts
I have a silouette, mostly use it to cut scrolls etc but hardly use it now. I still prefer to use either rub ons, alpha stickers like thickers or chipboards.
Class
The only class i attended was SDU basic & master wor. Somemore is after 2 - 3 years of scrapping den i joined the class to 'refresh' myself of the basic. The rest of the remaining time are mostly 'self taught' and go with the flow when i scrap, which is very important, cos if you don go with the flow, you will end up throwing the work away cos it does feel right.

hi mamachan and dorcas ..
yes i have my 'phases' but then again, so does the husband so he lets me indulge in my hobbies once in a while..
i was watching the video demos on the squeeze, revolution and silouette yesterday night and the husband seems most impressed with the latter as you hook it up to the computer, and it's mostly software instead of having to manually fit the dies. but unfortunately it does not work with mac computers now and that's all we have at home.

Me cannot join you ladies on 17 May. Will be doing wedding co-ordination that afternoon for my church couple.
JChew
If you can join in the crop parties organized by the ladies here, I'm pretty sure they can help intro you to all the SB stuff and show you how to use the eyelet setter. =) Or sign up for a basics class!! Am sure it'll really help you get started.

hi mamachan & dorcas... thanks for the welcome
was at laines last night to see the machines. cuttle bug is not bad cuz it can take both its own dies and the quickutz ones. silhouette is the best cuz i wanna use them mainly for alphabets but it's out of my budget... for now
so it seems most of u with the machines dun use them that often? i'm still thinking if i want to get it cuz the dies cost a bomb!
CL... when u get the heat gun, wanna hv a try too. saw teacher use in class b4 and very fascinated by it especially for glitter effect
cuclainne... i'm at sengkang, we can meet. hehe
17 May i can't make it too plus CCK is too far for me. btw... r ur kids all big already?

brambles: yes you are nearby too ..

Oh Cuclainne, I'm sure girls will be more into this kind of stuff than boys. My younger girl is also 2.5yo only, don't know anything yet but plays with my crystals, buttons and such. Broke 2 of my ice cream sticks that came with the rub-ons somemore. While my son likes to explore with my glues and tapes and sticky dots, etc. I very scared that he will spoil my paper, waste my stickers, or destroy any of my tools!!! That's also one reason why I only allow him a 8x8 instead of touching my 12x12 papers. Can save my stickers leh. hahahah.... But he do enjoy scrapping with me.

Hmmm, perhaps join us for a scrap session 1st and try out the revo/squeeze and then decide. I realize that I thought by have the QK Squeeze, I don't use it as often as I thought I would coz went on the venture into stamping - foam and acrylic, chipboard alphas, rub-ons and alpha thickers. I think so far only 3-4 LOs of mine are used with the quickutz. Sometimes abit regret with my buys =P but then, it was my hb who bought for me

CL, Sat morning my son will have piano class, so I think best is to meet at 3pm after my girl's nap, if possible. I'm sending my "daring" maid back to agent this sat and will be maidless for a while, which I'm sure I'm going to enjoy alot.
I just checked my calendar. The earliest sat that I can make it is 31 May leh. Cause next week, we go chalet, following week got friend's bday party. How?

JChew: yah, my daughter also likes to come into the study and want to see what's on our tables - if i write with a pen, she also wants one .. when i put on make-up, she also want .. hahahah ..
mamachan: so nice of your husband to indulge you .. i wonder if i can hint hint to the husband about these ..

Hi ladies
Just to share a LO I finished up over the weekend.
Bon Appetit!
journalling upclose
I used Basic Grey's Recess Line PP. The "spaghetti" are tose parcel strings painted over by orange acrylic paint. The sheer journalling tag is from Maya Road. Does my brown buttons look like meatballs?
