MWAH! - my layout for CS #221

Its Sunday once again and its time for another Creative Scrappers' reveal. Time for something refreshing after a roller coaster week.

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

And here is my layout:

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.

See the full reveal HERE! I hope you can play along with the challenges this month!!!!!!!!

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!

Its the love month!

Its already the 2nd month of the year, and its the love month.  Our challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge this time around is to scrap about our first love. It can be a real boy, a celebrity crush perhaps. I gave this challenge a lot of thought...and came up with this:

It's a layout about me and my dad! I'm so happy I was able to scrap these old pictures! Hope you can join us for this challenge. Details and the other DT's takes 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!

A little distressing goes a long way

I needed to satisfy my craving to scrap so I got creative yesterday and scrapped a layout.  It looked plain to me so I decided to distress the edges with blue and yellow and this is what I came up with it:

Title: Disney Magic

Journaling: Disneyland for the 2nd time but the excitedment is even greater this time around. (May 2011, Anaheim, CA)

Materials: Echo Park Summer Days and Happy Days mixed in with Prima and Scenic Route plus a Tim Holtz die

As always, a Sketchy Thursdays' sketch keeps me going and as usual, I almost forgot about the deadline. LOL! Here's the sketch for this week:

Gotta run!!!
