Mini jam was a Blast

As usual, the Mini jam sponsored by Scrapbook Hawaii and Little Attic last November 29, 2008 was a blast. The food was again gastronomically satisfying; the scrapbook goodies and the sale were a treat; and the demos were scraptistically enriching. I was also able to meet some of the charming people of scrapbooking, namely, Bjay, Alby and Lee.

The mini jam was an opportunity for me to use my long-time purchased alcohol ink. With all my courage and optimism, I was able to come up with a LO with some alcohol ink element. . . although I sure need more guidance from the experts. I used a Heidi Swapp ghost butterfly and dyed it using my limited supply of alcohol ink. It turned out nice . . . or so my husband told me. Actually, I call it an alcohol ink accident. I just dropped the inks and I guess nature just took its course.

My First LO with Alcohol Ink

And the most selfish reason why I consider the Nov. 29, 2008 Mini jam as a blast is because I won the first prize for the most embellished CD album. The announcement came in as a surprise because we were asked to complete the project within a very limited time (or a conceived time constrained). Since the project was about embellishment, I just put all the bling bling I brought to the event. My Fairy Art Godmother must have whispered to the judges my name and so my name was called.

For winning the Most Embellished Cd Album, I won fancy pants acrylic letters, album and paper stack.

My Loot

I want to thank Nette and Marisa for always coming up with this kind of eventful activity where scrapbookers can expound their artistic skills and knacks. I want also to share my appreciation to the Scrapin Moms finalists, Yoyin, Donna and Cookie for their patience in teaching us more about the craft.
