Super delayed upload!

I admit that I haven't been able to scrap as much as I want to but I get to finish a layout every now and then. Here are a few that I finished these past few months that I haven't share yet...

These layouts are "just because" layouts... just had fun creating these using photos from an out of trip last summer and using one of my favorite manufacturers.... My Mind's Eye.

Another simple layout, this time using Websters' Pages. Can you tell I'm having fun with my Cameo?

Thanks for dropping by...I have another layout coming up next week!

Just Because

I managed to finish a few layouts a week ago...

This layout is another clean and simple layout, and inspired by Sketch #96 at Inspired Blueprints. Since it was just summer on our part of the globe, my photos are mostly from our vacations. This one is about quiet time at the beach.  Here's the sketch if you want to play along. I love the sketch! So simple yet so full of possiblities!

This next layout is a just because layout...no challenges, no sketch for this one just pure scrapbooking FUN!

Obviously, I'm having fun playing with my Silhouette. Thanks to freebies too! I found these free cut files through Pinterest. The "so very special" sentiment is from Lilith's Scrapbooking Venture but I can't seem to trace the source of the "lovely" frame. Sorry...but it is a free cut file too!

My guilty pleasure is...

This month's theme at Once Upon A Sketch is all about guilty pleasures. I think mine would be travelling. Here's a layout about one of our recent out of town trips this summer. The sketch is lovely as well and I really enjoyed playing with my newly acquired Silhouette.

I'm also very grateful for Pinterest for helping me find Birds Cards where I got this free background cut file!
Stay tuned...I have more to share!

Beauty in Stone

Our recent trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia was called "Beauty in Stone" and this is the title I used for my layout. The title is just perfect because the stone carvings are really beautiful and intricate. Its so hard to believe that they were made in the 13th century!

Anyway, here's my layout using My Mind's Eye and inspired by the May Sketch at Creative Scrappers!

Here's the sketch if you want to play along too...

Last Minute Entries

I managed to finish a couple of layouts in time for the deadline for My Scraps and More Sketches' April challenges.

Here they are...and the sketches that were the starting point for the layout follows.

Thanks for dropping by!

Some unshared layouts...

April is almost over, and it sure went by fast! With the kids on summer vacation, our days have been busy with swimming and ballet lessons and of course going on out of town trips. This means lots photos but less scrapping time.

Just sharing some layouts I finished in the past...

This layout is based on Inspired Blueprints Sketch #87 last March.

This layout is based on a sketch at My Scraps and More 

Thanks for dropping by. I'm off to finish a layout!

Little Moments

The heat is on in our side of the globe! Time to hit the beach or just stay in an air-conditioned room to scrap the day away. If you are looking for some inspiration, then we have what you are looking for over at Scrap The Girls. Our April challenge is about paint/mists, buttons and hexagons!


Here's my layout of me and DD Julia. Its our own version of a selfie.

Our photo is a bit dark, but who cares...It's the little moments that make life big!

Do join us for this challenge. You have till the end of the month to link up your layout.

What a Day!

We were on a staycation during the past holiday...of course a scrapper takes advantage of this time to play with paper, scissors and glue.


Here is just one of the six layouts I finished during that weekend...

Did this for the MME March Sketch Challenge...yup, still scrapping pics for our SG trip. Better do so now before summer photos start piling up.


In case you want some inspiration, here's the sketch I'm talking about...

Will be posting some of the other layouts I finished in the coming days.

Such a Wonderful Day

My Mind's Eye is one of my fave companies...I love the softeness of the designs of the pps, the embellishments and I can't resist the die cuts! Here's one of my latest layouts using their die-cuts as my title...

Thanks for dropping by...please come back soon!

Time Together

I recently discovered the sketches at Pamela's World of Scrap and decided to play along with Sketch 231...

Here's my simple layout....I'm glad I was able to scrap photos printed out for almost a year now!

Used a mix of Pink Paislee and MME for this one...thanks for dropping by.

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!

My Girls and their Daddy

This post is dedicated to the father of my children...we can't thank you enough for everything that you have done and everything that you have given us. For fixing things in the house (yes you are our handy daddy), for cooking our favorite steak and lechon roll, for teaching the girls how to brush their teeth, for helping Julia in her Algebra worksheets, for spoiling us, for being our defender at all times, for the unconditional love, for being our shoulder to cry on...and the list goes on! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, more than words can ever, ever, ever say!

Title: No.1 Dad

Used kit by April Lim

Journaling: Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Dad.

The challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge is all about dad...I hope you can join in the fun! I'm pretty sure you'll be taking pics of this special day so this is the perfect chance to scrap those pics right away!  Link up your layouts HERE! The sketch for this challenge follows...feel free to interpret it any way you want.

This next layout is a "just because" one. Made it for the Creative Scrappers' recent Sunshine Crop.

I got this quote from Julia's Total Girl School planner and I think its sooo cute! Used This and That Graceful for this one.

Have a great day and an even greater week ahead!

Welcome 2012

Happy New Year to everyone!!! Its almost a month since my last post but December will always be the busiest month of the year. I only managed to finish 2 layouts!!! Oh well its a brand new year and I'm optimistic in a lot if not ALL aspects of my life. Scrapping wise I am really hoping that I'll be more productive. For 2011, I only finished 79 layouts compared to 121 in 2010. That's a difference of 42 layouts!

On the first day of the year, I finished a layout that I started in 2011. I hope this means I'll be busy scrapping the whole year round.

Here's the page I finished. Simple but sweet.

Journaling: No one said Christmas pics have to be formal. Wacky photos are in! (Xmas 2010)

 Used  a mix of My Minds Eye, Websters, and Simple Stories for this one.

Here's a closer look at the glittered brads on the tree:

That's it folks! I wish all of you a great and fabulous year ahead! Let's keep on scrapping!

I'm back!!!!

I know I've said this before, but it is true...things have been so busy at work that I wasn't able to scrap for 3 weeks!!!! I wasn't able to blog hop and do my usual scrappy routine but I am hopeful and positive that this will change. Here are a few pages I finished from my last scrapping session with the LB Scrapaholics.

Title: Just the 3 of us

Journaling: This doesn't happen often but when it does, it's EXTRA SPECIAL!

Love this photo of me with my mom and my sis!

Used MME & The Girls Paperie PPS for this one. Thanks to Issa for the lovely border punch.

Title: What's for Lunch?

Journaling: Our first meal afte a long flight! We were hungry and tired but also very excited!

Of course we had one of the staple food: PIZZA!

Used OA pps from different lines. Love that they mix and match!

Title: Lollipop Princess

Journaling: $6.50 for 5 pieces of Mickey Mouse shaped lollipos but your smile is PRICELESS!

Ally really loves sweets and her smile shows it.

Used Pink Paislee Hometown Summer for this layout and I think that line is super cute! Made this layout for  Scrapbookers Anonymous die-cut challenge. Love that Sizzix tree branch!

And lastly, my good friend and super scrapper Issa, made this layout for me....thank you so much!

Journaling: Julia, Ally and Korey having the time of their life.
