International Culture Week 2011 – Grand Finale

Published by Sula H.

We’ve done it! Finished another culture week. And today was the grand finale, celebrating songs and dances from various cultural backgrounds. Being me, of course, I’m gonna allow you a peek of some of the eye candy we got to have. Here are some pics … And here’s a short clip to give you an even better idea of some of the performances …   Saying Thanks … Lastly, I want to say thanks for living in such a culturally diverse environment, which really helps me to look at life from a different perspective.

P2D & Lot’s of Fun in Digi-Land

Published by Sula H.

I got inspired again. This time by this page, titled “Anticipation” by  jbarksdale. I loved the centered mat about this page, and the fun embellishment strip through the middle. So I tried my hand on this, and here’s how my page turned out: Make sure to check out jbarksdale’s other layouts, because her gallery is full of fun and inspirational pages. And if you’re only remotely connected to digiscrapping, you’re probably aware of all the craziness going on in digiland, because of Digital Scrapbook Day (DSD). So, make sure to check out the stores, coz there are sales and giveaways going on everywhere. A few activities going on this weekend, I’d like to point out to you: Blog Trains Make sure to check out these blog trains, because they have some really pretty stuff to give away: DSD Blog Train MScraps Blog Train 1 ZigZagScrap Blog Train I’m not going to point you to every store in digiland that I’m aware of, but I’m going to point out that some stores offer collaboration kits free …

Freebie Friday: Autumn

Published by Sula H.

Digital Scrapbook Day (DSD) is almost upon us, but before that I managed to get you a new template – despite of all the Culture Week craziness that’s going on this week (busiest week of the year for us). This new template is based on my layout “Cozy Autumn,” and I hope you can find some use for it, sooner or later. As was requested, I also re-uploaded my template No. 26 again, (May Faves), but you have to be quick, because the link will only be up this weekend. Now I have a very busy weekend ahead (probably with very little time for scrapping and DSD celebrations) as tomorrow is the grand finale of Culture Week 2011, followed by a BBQ lunch for the foreign faculty. So, I’m off to bed now, but my wish for you as usual is: Happy Friday scrappers! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to …

Culture Week – Day 5: North America & Australia

Published by Sula H.

Of course, next to China Day, North America Day is probably the most popular day of culture week. No wonder – Most foreign teachers don’t need to teach on Fridays, which means they have plenty of time for games and fun activities. It’s about America, and of course it’s a pride thing to make sure America is well represented. Right after lunch, I made my tour of the square and I was quite entertained by what I saw … My Canadian friends organized a street hockey game. And probably the most interesting part of all was when the students saw the hockey sticks and asked us what they were for! So, I learned today that the average Chinese person doesn’t have a clue what hockey is! Of course, once they started playing, the students figured things pretty quickly. Lady Gaga & Lady Liberty posing back to back, and the students (though clueless as to who those figures were) loved to pose with them for a photo opportunity. Saying Thanks … Finally, I don’t want to …

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 19

Published by Sula H.

I’ve mentioned it before, I’m no fan of Halloween. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like halloween colors. On the contrary. Today I want to show off a birthday card I made last year that features the typical halloween colors of orange, gray, and black. I created this card with a limited edition kit by the Sweetshoppe designers, added a ribbon and some accents, and there was a card to brighten up someone’s birthday!
