Misibis Bay

10 years of friendship and still counting!!!

My girlfriends from El Nido together with my family had our recent trip to one of the luxury resorts here in the Philippines,  Misibis Bay.  We had an awesome time with our former colleagues and friends from El Nido.  It really was a great reunion.  How we wish,  the gang were complete!

Friends we will always be,  reunited in Misibis! (L-R: Rex, Ian, Me, Ivy, Les & Arlie, thanks to hubby for taking the picture!)

 My boys with Fonz (Lesley's son)

 Celebrating Lesley's birthday at the resort

 The darling angels with Nokki! Thanks dude,  til we meet again. 

 Totally, in love with the view at the amphitheatre!

 A lot of courage for me to try ATV (all terrain vehicle) since I don't drive and wouldn't try to learn driving!

 And finally, a photo with hubby. Thanks my love for this awesome vacation and for being part of my El Nido family!

Now,  I just remembered,  with all our 900+ photos,  we never had a chance to have a family picture!  Oh, well,  we really need to return to Misibis bay!

Thanks for the visit!

Christmas in September

 Christmas is just around the corner.  The season of giving, sharing and loving.  Actually,  everyday should be christmas season!
Before the holiday hustle,  I'd better start making my christmas cards and christmas list and start shopping.  I don't want to join the christmas rush ( but always join them in the end!)

Here are some of my christmas cards this year,  more to share when I get some time to make more!
First set,  using the Best creation Christmas 2011 papers:

 And the last set,  using the summer 2011 papers of inkido,  who says you need christmas themed papers for christmas?

Let me be the first to greet you Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks for the visit!

A week of Adrenaline rush

Our group here in Manila challenged ourselves to have a secret scraplift challenge.  We were divided into 2 groups.  Our group  was behind and we had to catch up on the other group.  We have group members in the US and no timezone mattered to us.  I got the lay-out to scraplift at 12midnight.  I slept early and in the middle of wee hour,  I woke up at 3am,  check my facebook account and a message read,  you got the lay-out!
I panicked!  And adrenaline rush was flowing.   Here's my lay-out at 3am  and finished at 5am  so that before going to work,  I can pass it on to the next person.

And the day after,  still with some adrenaline rush,  I finished this lay-out.  Both lay-outs are shouting summer.  Summer is long gone in Manila  and with tropical weather,  we get to enjoy summer all year round!

Thanks for the visit and have a great day!

Scrapbook Laureat

I am still high with Mojo after the scrapbook Laureat here in Manila.  To be surrounded with creative ladies with the same passion in scrapbooking will really push you to the limits.

 

 Our laureat. and there's more where they came from. I was able to complete 14 lay-outs and 16 cards! 

  

A few of my favorite lay-outs,  simple and fast scrapping.

It was indeed a day of fun.

Thanks for the visit!
