This will be the last Ztampfans Challenge for this year and you wouldn’t want to miss out:

Posting period: 6 – 13 Dec.
Voting period: 14 – 20 Dec.
Winner announcement 21 Dec.

The Challenge:

It could be simply showing photographs/pictures with reflected images i.e. in the mirrors, windows or water, it could also be about reflection in the sense of looking back, contemplative sort of way. The end of a year is the right time to do this sort of things anyway ;). You can have journaling with it too!

The Requirements:
Everything has to be made 100% using Ztampf! stuff.
Fonts and Photo Actions from other sources are accepted, though.

The Prize:
One lucky winner will receive a Ztampf! $15 Gift Certificate PLUS a 25% Discount Coupon that she can use up to 3 (three) times during the whole month of January 2008.

1. The Voting Period for Ztampfans Challenge #3 has begun! Go and have a look at the beautiful entries at Ztampfans Challenges Gallery. Cast your vote by typing “Voted!” in the comment field on the layout of your choice. The last day to vote is on Wednesday, Nov. 28th. Happy Voting!

2. And… don’t I have an exciting announcement to make! I have been participating in a book on digital scrapbooking and the book is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com! Although my contribution is only in the form of digi kits and layouts, it is still a cool thing, don’t you think? Layouts by some of the Z!Girls are featured in the book too. Oh… and one of my layouts is on the back cover! Woohooo…! Are you curious yet?

The title of the book is Picture Yourself Creating Digital Scrapbooks by Lori Davis and Sally Beacham. This is their 2nd collaborative work on digital scrapbooking. Their first book is called “Digital Scrapbooking” – also available from Amazon – and it was a success. Picture Yourself Creating Digital Scrapbooks is written for the novice digital scrapbooker and the experienced paper scrapbooker who wants to dive into digital. It’s also designed to be inspiration for the intermediate or experienced digital scrapbooker, who can peruse the layouts by our featured designers and their creative teams, and use the book’s resource DVD contents in their own unique way.

Written in an easy-to-follow and highly visual format, the book teaches the reader step-by-step how to create beautiful scrapbooks using their digital camera, computer, and basic graphics software. The accompanying DVD includes 13 kits from 7 designers, fonts from Larabie, Kingthings, Melissa Baxter, Miss Tiina, Robin Rowlands, Hoodsy and from the author, Sally Beacham: assorted plugin and utility demos, other miscellaneous scrapping stuff and some tutorials. The contributing designers are: Angela M. Cable, Doris Castle, Glenda Ketcham, Lauren Bavin, Roberta D’Achille, Terry Maruca and me, Lie Fhung.

My contributing kits are: “Oh Baby” and “Painting Kit” that I created quite a while ago but had to keep in secret until now :). Just click on the image below to see more detailed images and sample layouts done with the kit:

Oh Baby + Painting Kit

3. And… to serve you better, I have set up an Amazon Associate Store where you can find digital scrapbooking related things such as reference and how to books, digital imaging software, tool and things for your hybrid projects and scrapbook albums to keep your printed digiscrap layouts!

There are sections of my hand picked Children Books, Books I Read, Music I Heard and Movies I Watched there as well! Check it out! The URL of the Fhungalicious Things store is: http://astore.amazon.com/fhungalicious-20. This link is also accessible from here at Ztampfilicious Blog (down there on the right panel under “Pages”) and from Ztampf!Shop (on the left panel under “Categories”).

P.S. On the allergy-side, the new medication still doesn’t give me any relief but at least the night time one made me sleep :). I slept for 12 hours straight last night and I wouldn’t have awoken even then if I wasn’t busting to pee! LOL!

Oh one more thing:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to those celebrating! Enjoy the warmth of home cooking and family gathering :).

Take care!

First off, the Ztampfever No. 27 has been released! Have you subscribed yet?

Did you know that you can read previous editions from this page here: http://ztampf.com/ztampfever.html? Just scroll down to the Archive section. You might not be able to enjoy past coupons, but a few direct download links would still be there ;). Some people found the newsletter layout to be inspiring too :).

Have you heard? The Ztampf! Weekly Challenges has ended and of course, after much agonizing choosing between so many amazingly gorgeous layouts, we’ve got the winners!

THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER IS… MamaCrina with “Once Upon A Time“!
Congratulations!

The Winners for the Week 4 Challenge:
• First Communion by LynnZant
• Fairy Dreaming by 5Angels
• Lissy by Sternrakete
Click here for the complete list of winners.

Those of you loving the challenges, worry not! We’re going to have fun bi-weekly challenges over at Ztampfans Group starting this Thursday, 18 Oct. 2007. How does it work? A new challenge will be posted every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month. The challenges, requirements and prizes will be varied but ANY ONE is ALWAYS welcome to play and to vote. Participants may post as many layouts as they wish.

Participants will have 1 week to upload their layouts with the following week dedicated for voting time. Anyone may vote but only 1 vote is allowed per challenge. The Layout that received the most votes will win. The winner will be announced along with the posting of the next challenge.

What do you think? Interested to play? You will need to join Facebook first. Don’t worry, it is super easy and fun! It could be addicting though, so be warned ;). Once you’ve joined, look for my name Lie Fhung or Ztampfans Group.

Now… the brand new stuff:


And the Deutsche Version of the Ztampf! 5×7 Card Calendar 2008 Kit is now available:

Is that all? Nope! I’ve received my Bind-It-All machine last week and I’ve used it to bind my newest Crafty Calendar Kit coming up to the shop by this weekend! It took some practice to make a perfect binding though, so I advise you to make a mock-up calendar set to practice with. Later you can use this as a guide/example. Here’s a sneak peek for the new Crafty Calendar Kit. Most of the kit is down, I just need to work on the illustrated Instructions Booklet.

COMING SOON : Mini-Vertical Ztampf! Crafty Calendar 2008 Kit

I used the Centering method with 6 holes so that I can have 4 Calendars made from just 1 Double-O Wire binding. Yup, I am a thrifty gal at heart! But it looks good that way, isn’t it?

The Bind-It-All machine will be perfect for the regular size Ztampf! Crafty Calendars too! Get yours from my favorite shop here. In my experience, all orders come with a tiny pack of m&m’s ;). I haven’t shopped there much since I’ve gone digi though…

That’s it for today. Now I need to get some lunch and if I am lucky I might be able to catch a nap too! (Only had about 3.5 hours of sleep last night!).

TERMS OF USE (TOU)

In the light of recent events related to my Terms Of Use, Copyright and such – I have added a Page here in Ztampfilicious Blog where anyone can easily find the terms and requirements of use for Ztampf! products. All of this has always been available from the Ztampf!Shop as well, but I reckon the more widely it is made available, the easier it will be for people to find it – whether they are particularly looking for it or not.

Some people, especially those who are totally new to digital scrapbooking or online communities might not realize that when they download or purchase digital scrapbooking items, what they obtain is the rights to use the items but they do not have the rights of ownership to them. In other words: they do not own the items, even the ones they purchased. Instead, they are given a non-exclusive right to use them for their own personal use. There are certain terms and requirements attached to them. These are usually specified in the Terms Of Use (TOU) or Read Me file enclosed within the related downloadable files/folders. Terms Of Use often varies from one designer to the next, so make sure you read the ones you are using.

I would like to emphasize here the importance of reading the Terms Of Use (TOU) of ANY Designers whose work you are interested in. When the Terms Of Use is made available in their website, then make sure you read it thoroughly before downloading anything. Understanding the TOU will help you to avoid committing copyright violation acts or illegal file sharing activities out of ignorance. If in any doubts, just email the Designer. I am sure they will happily answer your questions.

I realize that my Terms Of Use and Licenses might felt to be too lengthy by some people. I’m afraid it is so by necessity to provide as comprehensive and as precise information as I could. I am aware that some people and many non-English speaker customers might find it difficult to completely understand the terms. If you have ANY questions regarding them, please do not hesitate to email me. Do not wait until someone informed me of “copyright violation case” as has happened several times. PLEASE read my Terms Of Use before you even clicking the “Add To Cart” button. Thank You for those of you who have done so. And Thank You very much for abiding to them :). I really appreciate it.

TUTORIAL USE LICENSE

With the rapid growth of digital scrapbooking, there have been a growing numbers of personal websites offering tutorials for using various digital imaging programs. A lot of these tutorial websites provide downloadable ‘material’ so people can replicate the steps described in the tutorial. This is a very effective way to learn indeed. Sadly, some tutorial writers either didn’t read or simply don’t understand the Terms Of Use attached to the ‘material’ they are redistributing through their tutorial packages.

I realize that tutorials are benefiting many people and I would like to support them by providing a Tutorial Use License. This way, tutorial writers can continue providing tutorials along with the related materials with clear conscience; without violating my copyright and Terms Of Use. Everyone’s happy! Click here to read it and if you’re interested to obtain one, just email me with all the required information.

That’s it for now :). Thank you for reading this!
