Fun Facts

I can't believe I haven't posted in this little blog of mine for almost a month now. So sorry but it always happens...come Christmas season, my scrapping addiction takes a back seat.

Today, I'm happy to share with you my latest layout....this one is for the December challenge at Scrap The Girls. The only requirement for this month is a "list!"

Title: Fun Facts

Used MME Sweetest Thing for this one. I'm really loving MME!

I always make it a point to scrap about my DD's noteworthy traits/faves for a particular year. This one is about Ally at 6 years old.

Thanks for dropping by. I'm off to play with some pretty paper!

Happy to be here

Hi blog! I don't mean to ignore you but its been busy as always. LOL! Can't believe its almost mid November! Pretty soon I'll be wrapping Christmas presents. Before we go into that I would like to share with you my layout for the November challenge at Scrap the Girls...

Can you guess what the challenge is all about? Its a color combo challenge this month....TEAL, ORANGE, and WHITE! I hope you can give the combo a chance, the colors go so well together! Take a look at the rest of the DT's fabulous layouts HERE.

Happy Haunting!

Sharing with you Creative Scrappers Sketch #231 by Nicole Nowosad... I love the sketch and see myself using it again on future layouts!

And here's my layout...

Hope you like it! I'm feeling a bit sad though, coz this is going to be my last layout as DT for Creative Scrappers. I definitely enjoyed the ride and I will always be a Creative Scrappers fan.  Thank you Kristine!

Boo!

Halloween is just 2 weeks away so I decided to play with my Halloween pics from 2 years ago and with more inspiration from the latest Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge sketch...this is what I came up with:

Got my journaling from a quote I found at Facebook... I really love it!!!

Here's the sketch and I hope it inspires you too!

I had fun playing with my halloween scrap stuff so expect more halloween layouts from me. I love it that it doesn't get outdated! Gotta go! It's going to be a busy week again for me!



She loves LPS

Here's my layout for Creative Scrappers sketch #229....

Ally love her Littlest Pet Shop toys and she loves watching those videos on YouTube about them. She even makes her own videos. This is defintely worth scrapping about!

Its been a while since I used a black background but I love how the colors pop out. With a lovely sketch to begin with, you can never go wrong!


Here's the sketch to inspire you:

It was a busy week...

It was a busy week and the coming weeks will be busy too. I didn't even have time to update this little blog of mine.  Anyway, I would like to share with you my layout for the October challenge at Scrap the Girls. We have a recipe challenge for you this time and here are the ingredients: flowers, 2 different alphas, more than 1 photo, and staples.



Title: Beauty in Braids

I'm so glad that I got to scrap these photos of Ally...these have been printed out for more than a year now. Used a mix of Websters' papers for this one and I love the way the washi tapes at the corners look!

Thanks for dropping by...hope you can join in our challenge!

Sibling Love - Creative Scrappers Sketch 227

It's Sunday reveal at Creative Scrappers once again and I'm sure you'll love this sketch!

I'm a slow scrapper but this time around I finished this layout quickly. Without further ado, here's the sketch 227 and my layout:

Title: Sibling Love

Used a mix of MME and Websters' for this one. I know I'm a simple scrapper, just a few embellies here and there and I'm done.

Hope you like it!

Wonderful Sweet

We have a new challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge, and its a sketch challenge this time. Here's the sketch for you...

And here is my take...

Simple Stories' Summer Fresh is just perfect for summer photos! Here is Ally enjoying some time on the hammock. I hope you can join our sketch challenge this month. Details can be found HERE!

Speaking of Summer Fresh... here's another layout using the same line...

This time this layout is a "just because" layout, no challenge or sketch is involved in this one. Made it last Aug during a scrapping spree with the LB Scrapaholics. This is the first time that Julia tried drinking coconut water so this photo is definitely scrap worthy!

Free Spirit and CS Blog Hop Winner!

My daughter Ally loves the beach! The beach is her happy place!

The current word at Bird is the Word is perfect for this layout!

And I have a winner for the Creative Scrappers Blog Hop.....the winner is ALINE MARENGO! Congratulations!

Cherish

I love lazy weekends and I love Sunday reveals at Creative Scrappers!

Here's Sketch #225 by the talented Jenny Evans, a lovely single photo sketch!

Here's my layout....its about my girls. I just love seeing them together. Julia takes care of Ally and Ally looks up to her older sister!

Obviously I am loving MME at the moment. I just love their new lines!
I hope you were able to join in our blog hop...winners will be announced on Sept 10!

Perfecting the Jumpshot

I don't know who started it, but jumpshot photos have been around for quite sometime. It takes great timing both for the photographer and the subject to get it right. Oh well, the girls had fun doing this on our last out of town trip. Just perfect for our challenge this month at Scrap the Girls which is all about action photos.

I know you have pics for this challenge so I hope you join in the fun!

Here's my layout:

Without further ado....here's sketch #221!

And here is my layout:

Title: Mwah

Used Echo Park This and That Graceful pps, and bits and pieces of Basic Grey (sticker), Prima, Maya Road pearl pin, Fancy Pants pin, and AC Thickers.

This one's for Max!

We have a new challenge up at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge and its all about pets! I've been wanting to scrap about Max, our beagle so this is the perfect opportunity.

My DD Ally had her eyes on a puppy, and she wanted a beagle.She initially wanted the pet as a gift for her 6th birthday but the wait seems so long coz she just turned 5 years old at that time. To cut the story short, we got Max in November, which is 8 months ahead of her 6th birthday.

Here's my layout for you Max!

I hope you can join our challenge, its your chance to scrap about your beloved pets!
