UP 'TIL MIDNIGHT

RAK from Pom!

I've been RAK-ed by Pom this week, with these beautiful layer frame set simply because I am one of her first blog followers. How cool is that! And I'll tell you, these layer frames are really gorgeous. One of the most brilliant work I have ever found. I'm sure you're going to love them a lot. Especially cause she gave CU license along with the files, LOL. You can get the PU freebie of the frame on her blog.

The blog followers contest is already expired now. But if you still want to get a chance to win the CU version of the frames, Pom has another contest. Here's what you have to do:

Just make a layout that has one of the freebies she have shared on her blog far in it (your choice , choose any of them.) When you're finished, post it in your blog or a gallery with the usual credits (a link there would be much appreciated) then come back to her blog and leave the link to the layout in the comment. Pom will randomly choose one (or two -- if there are many people playing) to get this gift on Christmas day.

Believe me, you're going to love these frames.

Family Ties

Year end freebie...!

I know this month might be your most hectic time of the year. But I'm sure it also the happiest of all. I don't celebrate Christmas. But being in scrapbook community and interact with so many nice people, I know
how important this moment for you all. I want to thank you for giving a little of your busiest time, to drop here and check out our new collab freebie.

This month's collab is host by me. I already prepare some color palettes to be picked even before the last collab end, LOL. Oh yeah, I was waiting for my turn :)). I was thinking about something that will suit your needs for this month. So I came up with this one. This is not a Christmas kit, though. Cause none of us celebrate Christmas, we don't have the spirit of Christmas (I thought about winter kit also, but again how we will do it, we're not even ever touch snow! LOL). But with the color and the theme, we hope that you still can use it for your photos.

Personally I am so happy with this collab. I love every kit my friends send me. They are all look gorgeous. It's a great thing to realize that we grow togother through this year from zero to this level today. I hope that our kits improve day by day.

OK, now I will show you the preview of the collab. Here we go...

Yes, I had a great time putting them all together in one preview. With 39 papers and 112 elements, I thought it's a hard thing to do, but actually, it's fun! I made a layout for each kit my friends did. Here they are.... (click on the image to see larger preview).

This is my part for this collab

And of course, one layout for a sample ;-p

And guess what, I have an extra freebie today. I made an alpha set with the same color palette. There are 4 different colors lowecase alphabhets, numbers and punctuations ready to use.

Hope you can enjoy our freebie this month. And don't hesitate to send us your layouts. We will be happy to see your works.

Some Chocolate Comfort layouts (Thanks Ladies!)

You know, Scrapbooking is a time-consuming hobby. How many hours you will need to complete just one layout. One or two? That's what I normally need for one good layout. A litle slow, maybe, LOL. And then can you imagine how many hours we will need to complete one full kit?

One habit I developed right after I start to share my freebies is to track down the stuffs everywhere. I use google, visiting everybody who left comments, check out my followers, etc. Do you think I'm a freak? LOL. Oh yeah, whatever! I just wish to know how people enjoy my freebies and maybe to get some feedback to improve my stuffs.

Last week I went through my Blog's Traffic Feed and found this group of sweet ladies in a forum. A nice surprise I got there. Vavie picked my Chocolate Comfort for a challenge. And I found many layouts using Chococlate Comfort.

Everybody in the forum give me permission to have all their layouts. Thanks Ladies. These are some layouts from the forum and from my friend, Julika (Love you!)

And of course, my favorite girl, Pom :). You' always know how to make my day! I love everything in this layout. The photo, the poem, the birds... Thanks. I love you!
