it's almost time for...

yes, it's almost time for the annual 'floor the love' dance event. it's organized by a friend who set up KSDP (korea-singapore dance project) a few years back. i was surprised at how many people would actually attend the event, i guess i just didnt know that singaporeans were so interested in street dancing.

so today's post is dedicated to a couple of people who will grace the event this year, namely Chris, the person behind KSDP, and freestyle Ali, a korean dancer whom i got to know through 'floor the love'.

here is a layout i did of chris with a photo that angel took when she was taking a break, visiting chris on Christmas Island, where chris is currently based now...

supplies used: patterned paper - dcwv, my mind's eye, doodlebug; alphas - american crafts; diecut system - sizzix; punches - martha stewart and ek success.

and of course, i made a layout of ali too! this photo was taken in october 2010, when i was in seoul for a work trip and ali travelled hours across seoul just to have a quick 1 hours meet up before he headed for the jazz concert, which he tried to get me to go.

supplies used: patterned papers - my mind's eye; cardstock - dcwv; alphas - american crafts; punches - martha stewart and ek success and others - corrugated cardboard.

and although i wont be around for this year's 'floor the love' event, i hope i get to catch these guys before they head back to seoul and christmas island. wish me luck!

by the way, this year's floor the love event will be held on 26th of march and you can check out more information at www.floorthelove.blogspot.com for tickets to the event or how to take part in the event or for information on dance classes with the famous freestyle ali.

my list of special loves...just to name a few...

good day everyone! today's post would be about a few things on my list of special loves. one of the things on my list is Prima Marketing products, i love all the embellishments and literally went crazy when a LSS was offering 40% discounts off. i instantly filled my basket with blooms and alphas within a few minutes and my good friend, angel, thinks i'm crazy for wanting to go back to get more while the promotion is still on.

well, angel is also another special love. although we have our good days and not so good days and days where we dont wanna speak at all *winks* she's still one of my special love; it's been 7 years since we found each other again and she's been a great friend, listening to my nonsense and sharing her stuff with me almost unconditionally.

so yupperz, i've combined my love for angel, prima marketing products and scrapping into this simple layout...

supplies used: patterned paper - prima marketing and bobunny; journaling card, blooms, pearls - prima marketing; alphas: american crafts and adorn it; punch - martha stewart; cardstock - dcwv and stmap - unity stamps.

although it was a simple layout but it was initially really difficult for me to tear that huge hole in my patterned paper and i am glad it turned out well, afterall angel chose her own paper when i went shopping one day, so i had to make sure the paper was well used.

last but definitely not least, i have a special love for japan and it pains me to see photos and videos and hear the news about the destruction the huge earthquake and tsunami had caused. it definitely was a reality check for me, since i was just in tokyo about 2 days before the earthquake happened. my heart goes out to the people of japan and anyone who is also emotionally affected by this natural diaster.

let's not forget to tell our love ones how we feel for them. tell them today! tell them now! please pray for japan and mother earth.

*hugs*
