What's So Funny?

I joined the Tinkering Ink challenge a few months back. I went to Rustan’s to check out their papers and see if I will like them. I fell in love with the Perfectly Posh line. I bought two packs of that along with two packs of Westminster (for more masculine layouts). I quickly put together a simple page and it instantly became my favorite layout. Nothing much in terms of techniques – just a bit of hand-cutting, journaling on strips, mostly adhering stuffs here and there. Nonetheless, the fun colors of Perfectly Posh papers complemented the funny story of my picture. I always say that this is what scrapbooking means to me – it’s to help pictures tell the story. Years later, I will look at this layout and I will remember. I aptly called my LO “What’s so funny?”.

I didn’t hear about that challenge for quite some time. Then I got an email saying that the entries may be viewed at their flickr site.

I checked it out to see what other people came up with. Great layouts by all participants.

I didn’t hear from Memory Box for a number of weeks. I actually wondered what happened to that challenge. Then last night, while checking my emails at around 11pm, I saw this from Memory Box owner Candice Ong:

Isn’t that the best news of the day?! Sure got me all worked up late at night after hours of trying to sort out my research budgets at work (and surviving a techno-glitch which made me redo my excel sheets – wasn’t able to save the first time)!

I quickly checked out the Tinkering Ink website to take my pick of papers. Lots of lovely stuff. I couldn’t decide right away. Hmmm…won’t share what I picked. Might jinx it. Will post it here when it’s confirmed. Yahoo!!!
