all things american crafts (part 2)

i'm always amazed at how fast time flies by. it's been a year since I had the opportunity to be part of the american crafts contributing team, which also means that I've been with made with love (my local scrapbook store) for about a year and a few months and in turn, that would mean I've been scrapbooking for a little bit more than 2 years now (and also it was just my second wedding anniversary a few days ago).

wow, time really has flown by... it still seems like yesterday when I was learning how to use a chipboard album, how to adhere brads onto a layout, and what's the difference between a normal pair of scissors and those marketed for scrapbooking (and still don't understand..lol)... yep, there was a time when I didn't know much of anything (and still pretty much don't know much).

but one thing i know for sure, is that it's been an amazing year for me. not only did I get a chance to work with a super great company but got to know a lot of amazing people here (and actually meet up with some too). a big thank you to everyone for making it a wonderful year and of course, to those many many many more too come!

so continuing with my previous post, here are some more AC projects that were posted on their blog or are my favorites...

the coupon booklet...






and then there was "dear lizzy"... and I just went crazy!

and then summer came... with the super fun "heat wave" collection...



and more dear lizzy....





and last but not least... here's a pot of flowers for you :)



its definitely fun looking back at all the creations and then you start to wonder, what was I thinking then, did I really do that... uhmmmm. and once again, a big big congrats to the amazing AC team for 2010-2011 and can't wait to see all the amazing inspirations from everyone. also a big shout out to Pooi Pooi for being selected, you're going to have tons of fun!!

and as one door closes, another one opens - I am truly grateful for all the amazing opportunities and everyone's support and can't wait to share the details with everyone (its so so so so so hard keeping this a secret)!

& thanks again for stopping by!
