Ztampfilicious

… has just been released! It’s available from Ztampf!Shop and my SBB Store :). The Crop at SBB was fun – it was great to chat with many of you! And I’m glad that you all liked the template and enjoyed the chat. So here are more layered templates… freshly brewed! Check out other Layered Templates I’ve got there too!

And here are some layouts I did with this set – just click to see larger versions with more info:

The first 2 layouts are about my old good friend from art school who came to Hong Kong last summer. The 3rd one is of my last birthday! Feel free to post layouts you made using my template over at Ztampfest Gallery too!

Happy Scrapping!

Another New Year is upon us soon! Yes, the Chinese New Year – also known as the Lunar New Year falls on Feb. 7th this year. If I’m not mistaken, Japanese and Koreans are also celebrating the Lunar New Year. This year it is the Year Of The Mouse (or Rat; in Chinese language there’s no difference between the two). Those who were born in the year of the mouse (1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936, 1924 …) are said to be energetic, quick witted, charming and sharp as a needle. You can find a lot of fun and interesting stuff on Chinese astrology just by googling “chinese horoscope”.

Anyway! For those celebrating the Chinese New Year or simply want to send Chinese New Year greeting cards to friends who do, here’s something that you might find helpful:

If you want to give something even more special – be it for Chinese New Year gifts – or for Valentine’s Day (or Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Just Because…), you might want to take advantage of this:

Yeah! I’ve finally got this done and now it’s sitting pretty in my CafePress Boutique :). I had this idea for months but it’s not until recently that I managed to work on it and yesterday, I’ve uploaded it! What is it?

Well, it’s an actual, physical Wall Calendar that you can order from my CafePress Boutique. So… what so special about it? Well, it IS customizable! How? The concept is similar to that of QuickPages. The top part of the calendar which is usually a finished image/photo is instead a QuickPage! But of course there is not ‘transparent window’ to insert your photo as in the digital version. This paper version provides a Photo Space instead: a framed matting in a scrapbook layout setting. When you received your calendar, you can then add your own photographs on it by gluing (or using double-sticky tape or glue-tape runner) them on the provided Photo Spaces. Because of the beautiful matting, it doesn’t matter if the size or the proportion of your photos is not exactly the same with the provided space. It’s designed to even allow you to be playful by tilting your photos inside the Photo Space if you wish! There are spaces around the Photo Space to add your title or notes i.e. date and occasion or even a short journaling in some cases.

This provides a super quick and easy way to create personalized gifts for your friends and family! You can even send them blank without photos for them to put their own too! And of course, you can always added more actual embellishment if you wish! I think this will come in handy when you are pressed for time or simply don’t like to do any paper crafting and yet wanting something with a more personal touch. What do you think?

Oh! And my own CafePress order came in the post today! Yay! A customer who placed an order a while go also got hers today! And she told me how she loved everything she got – mostly apparel. And as for me, I got the Black Pondering T-Shirt and the two A Perfect Blend Mugs, plus the Vintage Clock! Love them all! Now that I have the ‘Seize The Day… and digiscrap it!’ Collection, I want them too! Ha! I’m rushing out now – leaving for Jakarta the day after tomorrow. But I’ll try to get some pics taken with them and post them!

Some previews of the new designs uploaded yesterday:

What do you think? There are more there… just take a look :).

I still have to finish one Mini Crafty Calendar and one Half-Legal Size Crafty Calendar by tomorrow, my last day in Hong Kong before going to Jakarta to see my folks for 2 weeks. I’ve printed all the pages – will trim, make the covers and bind them tomorrow. Oh and I still have to wrap some Christmas presents too… and the cards to be mailed… among other things! And now it’s already 3 a.m.! Where have all the time gone?

That’s it for now, folks! Hope those of you celebrating Thanksgiving had a good one. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! (And don’t forget to vote for the Ztampfans Challenge #3! Thanks!).

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:

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!
