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!

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:

flowers

masking

doodling

chipboard or wood veneers

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!

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!

Winter Colors

The June challenge at Scrap the Girls is up! It's all about winter colors....and it's definitely up to your own interpretation.The first colors that popped into my head were blue and white which reminds me of snow but you can actually use other colors. Here's my layout....

I hope you are not sick of my ballet pics just yet...again, thanks for the visit and hope to see your layout at Scrap the Girls!

A Star is Born

My DD Julia loves to dance and every summer she takes part in a ballet recital. I was able to scrap a photo of her taken during their photo shoot. My inspiration was Prima's May Build a Sketch. This layout is another proof that I am a simple scrapper...just a few embelishments and I consider my layout done!

Thanks for the visit!

Make A Wish!

I have a print out of the sketches that I plan on working on for the month. This time, since its a long weekend for us, I decided on playing with Sketchabilities sketch #90. Its really a great sketch with banners which remains to be a favorite of mine. Here's the sketch...

And here's my layout using October Afternoon Cakewalk...scrapped a photo from Ally's birthday last year.

Its another last minute entry for me...layouts are due tomorrow!

Sweet Smile

The May Challenge is up at SCRAP THE GIRLS, and its a fun one. All you need to do is to use the quote, "A smile is the best make up a girl can wear." It can be part of your title or your journaling.

Here's my layout...

I hope you like it coz I had fun making it. Played with texture paste and distress inks for this one.

Don't forget to link up you layout before the end of the month!

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.

Right Now

The March challenge at Scrap the Girls is up and we have a color challenge for you...BLACK, WHITE and GREEN! For my layout, I played with texture paste and my 6x6 template from The Crafter's Workshop.

Here it is...

My little girl is not so little anymore...here she is at 10 years old.

Thanks for dropping by and I do hope you join the challenge. Stay tuned for some good news this week!

Sweet Love

Whew! February is going by so fast. I didn't realize its going to be March in a few days. Anyway, here's my layout for the Scrap the Girls Feb challenge. We have a sketch for you....

And here's my layout....

The DT also had the chance to play with sticky paper from Sawyer's Place, our sponsor for this month. I used the paper as a mat for my photo. There's still a couple more days left till the deadline!

I'm back!

Happy New Year to all! I know my greeting is very late but I just realized that this is my first blog post for 2013! Yup, my scrapbooking is off to a slow start this year but I'm glad to share with you two new layouts! Both are about my daughters' love for ballet...

Title: I hope you dance

My DD Ally on her first ballet recital last May 2012. She loves dancing and is already looking forward to her next dance recital this summer. Used a mini kit by Echo Park. 

Title: She's a Dancer

My DD Julia on her ballet recital last May 2011. She stopped taking lessons for 1 1/2 years but her love for ballet has prevailed so now she's back. The background paper and flowers are from Prima but the stickers are from Echo Park. Oh, and this layout is based on Sketch 241 at Creative Scrappers.

Thanks for dropping! My next agenda is to scrap Christmas photos. Hope to be back soon.

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!

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:

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:

That was fun! Please do join us for this month's challenge. Details can be found HERE!
