A Few Days Off..

September 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Yup! I took a few days off. We had a week-long holiday here in Phnom Penh and we thought its high time we get out of the city. We haven’t gone anywhere for a month or so, and I was getting antsy. The best thing about living here in Phnom Penh is that, its easy to go to some of the greatest Asian cities and destinations. Everyone wanted someplace that is near and where we didn’t have to take a plane and with some great sights, great food and some shopping. We all then settled on… Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

A few hours bus ride from Phnom Penh and we were there. Spent a whole day touring some of the city sights and a night and a day doing some shopping. Of course, Vietnamese food is just soo delicious, and a bit familiar since I’ve been used to Cambodian cuisine already. There was no danger for me to watch out for food allergies austin, so it was a food fest for us too.

My favorite place to visit in Ho Chi Minh? The General Post Office! I feel like I went on time travel whenever I visit this place…

After all these, I’m all rested and revved up. And inspired too, to get working on some crafting freebies soon :) )

Scrapping Freebie: Splatter Pattern Alpha Stickers

September 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It’s not even a Tuesday but here I am releasing a freebie. Lol. As usual I’m late. I actually got sidetracked and was preoccupied doing an online search for long hdmi cables for my husband, so I forgot to post this as promised. This is a set of patterned Alphabet (A-Z) with a sticker look. I used a splatter pattern from Faria of IdealHut. The stickies has a 300 dpi resolution for large printing. I know some love to stick letters etc to their scrap pages and cards so this would be great.

This freebie is CU. You can do just anything with it as long as you don’t claim it as your own or redistribute it. You can share it with friends, but please direct them to download from my blog. :) ) That’s all I ask.

Also, a friend asked me I give these stuff for free. One reason is that I enjoy it. Lol. And besides I always tinker a lot on my graphic design software because I want to learn more techniques and making this things hones whatever little designing skills I have. So, its not like I’m getting nada out of this. In fact, I get a whole lot of learning from making these and hopefully some of you would also enjoy using the freebies.

Choco Themed Photobook Templates

September 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hey! It’s been awhile since I featured any of my templates for Artscow.com and it has also been awhile since I’ve been actually making templates for the said site. I was enjoying it and also earning on the side but I simply lack the time and energy. Priorities, priorities! Sigh. I do hope I could still occasionally create kits and templates for Artcow soon. Anyhow, I’m posting some of  the templates I made previously.

Here’s a photobook template featuring a free kit I made – [intlink id="254" type="post"]Preppy Choco[/intlink]. This kit is free but exclusive to Artscow users only. I made the photobook template coz let’s admit it, sometimes we lack inspiration or sometimes we just don’t have the patience to create one from scratch. You can make use of this template just add the kit first to your kit collection.
