Making into the Graphic 45 Design Team!!!

Finally the wait is over... On Monday Graphic 45 announced their new design team for 2014/15... And I saw my name on the list!!! I'm all over the moon!!! Yeah I made it!!! It can't be any happier than this getting into this marvelous amazing team, which is a dream come true...

It has been an amazing year this year to me thus far... Dreams do come true - winning a shoes design competition this January, getting myself a design team position in both Clear Scraps and Graphic 45... And all these come along with a lot of self-believing and hard work... Most importantly it's all about the almighty God who blesses me this much and made these dreams come true... It has all paid off, days of finding inspirations to getting panda eyes to finish up my projects...

I know I've been inactive recently in my blog, Instagram and Facebook as I was really super busy with school and teachings with The Art Republic... Here I'm sharing here a Graphic 45 Couture gift box that I made for my Italian trainer as a farewell gift... I enjoyed his lessons very much and he really gives me good advice... I've been getting requests to make videos on YouTube... It actually took me quite some time to get this started... And I'm glad I did attempt a video for the Graphic 45 final submission... So... I'll be doing a short tutorial in how to create this on my YouTube channel, do keep a look out... ;)

The gift box I'm giving to my Italian trainer...

Here is the inside of the box when I opened up... I wrapped
the gift with some tissue paper and paste a sticker over it...

My Inspirations...

After conducting a few classes at The Art Republic, quite a number of students have asked me where do I get my inspirations from or what inspires me...Hmm... This can be quite a profound question and really depends on what is within your surrounding...

Inspirations can come from anywhere and everywhere, it's just that whether you want to take a moment to get inspired... It can be from a place, an object, a theory, people whom you love or even a total stranger... Everyone gets inspired differently so it can be quite hard to explain where my inspirations really come from... Sometimes it's all about the mojo moment... To get that dose of mojo juice to feed my inspirations, I'd watch a lot of tutorials on YouTube or even visit scrapper's blogs to know what they are creating... Sometimes I'd think how they do that!? It's amazing!!! Well sometimes it's really about the mojo... But be warned, once you get that juice going on in you and get so inspired by it, you'd run to your scrap corner and try to do something, it's always the case when the moment you look at your scraps, you just lost it... The magic spell is gone!!! No worries, I do get that at times...

I'm still exploring, as always... Inspirations come and go, if you lost it today it's ok... It'll either come back to you one day or you get inspired in a different way... Sometimes, it's good to think a little more flexible and differently... The more you try thinking differently, the more mojos you'll get... So when you reached this stage, don't stop and keep the momentum going... The more you do it this way, you'll get to realize your inspirations will start coming in from different aspects... It's about practice and give your thinking a little thought...
