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!

Girls Rule!

I'm so glad I have the time to sit down and update this blog of mine. I want to share with you my layout for the September challenge at Scrap The Girls. We have a color combo for you this time...ORANGE, PINK, and GREEN!  I love these colors but I haven't used them lately. So here's my layout...

This is photo of my girls with their cousins. This is the outcome when girls play with make-up!
I hope you join us for this challenge...you have till the end of the month to play along.

Picture Perfect

Time sure flies fast when you are having fun! Can't believe it's already August. Pretty soon its time to put the Christmas tree up. Well, the start of the month means we have a new challenge for you at Scrap the Girls. I want to thank Malinda of Scrap The Girls for letting me stay on the design team for another term! Yipee!

This month we have a recipe challenge for you. The ingredients are:

Here's my layout using Websters' Pages Citrus Squeeze.

My daughter Julia definitely has the talent to smile underwater! LOL! Please head on over to the Scrap The Girls blog for the complete details and be inspired by what the DT (old and new) have created just for you!

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

Use the song title "How Sweet It is To Be Loved By You" as title or part of your journaling...this is the challenge for July over at Scrap The Girls! Fun right?! Sadly though, it will be my last layout as part of the DT but it doesn't mean I can't stop playing with the coming challenges!


Anyway, here's my layout!

Please do join us for this challenge! Details are all HERE!

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!

Blog Hop Winner and a layout too!

Thank you very much to everyone who dropped by for our blog hop. I used random.org to come up with the winner of my RAK and the winner is

KIM! 

Please email me your address so I can send the RAK to you.

I would like to share with you a layout I finished not so long ago. The holiday preparations really keep me busy....shopping for gifts, wrapping, parties, and pretty soon packing for a short trip. Can't believe that I haven't scrapped a page this month of December!!!!!

Anyway, here's the page I was talking about. It's about our wedding anniversary this year....

Thanks for the visit...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can scrap real soon!

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!

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!

I want this!

Have you heard about the Websters' Pages Sprinkles Craftbox? I really, really want it!

Celebrate!

Julia turning nine years old last year is indeed a good reason to celebrate. I recently scrapped this layout using pictures from her week long celebration of sorts.

I used here a mix of different lines from Websters' Pages. I was actually inspired to scrap these pics because of the challenge at Scrap the Girls!

Girlfriends since 1985

Our challenge for you at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge is all about girl scouts or girl groups. The challenge is inspired by Baden Powell Day which falls this February 22. Baden Powell was the founder of Boy Scouts, and his sister Agnes was the founder of Girl Guides. Scrap a memory of you in Scouting or Girl Guides (brownies, Sparks, Guides, etc.) or a memory of a group you belonged to when you were a child or teen. You may include a momento or journal a memory of what belonging meant to you.

Here's my layout....

I scrapped about my girlfriends from high school! We officially became close friends since freshman year. High school is definitely the time when friendships really become established. I'm so glad that we have remained friends ever since even if we are no longer physically close.

I used Websters' Pages Trendsetter for this one and attempted the clean and simple look.

Aside from the theme, please also use the sketch below:

That's it folks! Don't forget that if you play along with this challenge, complete our blog hop this month, or play along with our 1 February challenge by the 28th of this month, you are eligible for a chance (one chance per challenge and completed blog hop) for a FREAKING AWESOME prize.

Blog hop details can be found HERE.

Remember...

This is the word over at Bird is the Word and here's my layout:

Title: Remember....this is what we came here for

Materials Used: Websters' Pages, Dusty Attic, Pink Paislee, Prima, Making Memories, Technique Tuesday

Yipee! I was finally able to scrap one of the most important photos from our trip last year. A family picture like this doesn't happen often because of the distance so this photo is extra special! More than the sight seeing, spending time with family was the highlight of our trip.

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!

At the farm

Finished this layout first week of September for the PinoyScrapbookers' Secret Scraplift Challenge.... and forgot to post it here. I had fun doing this layout even if I was under time pressure.

Title: At the Farm

Journaling: Lola Shirley having a great time with her grand kids.

Used different lines of Websters' for this one.

I love this photo of my mom with her grandchildren coz their smiles are so natural. Too bad one of my nephews is not in the photo.

Here's another "farm" layout... this time I based it on a the sketch challenge at Get Picky BUT I wasn't able to upload it before the deadline.

Thanks for stopping by... I hope I get to scrap more this October. Fingers crossed.
