Keep Blooming

Its been a while since I posted in my blog.  We had  a great family bonding time this weekend and its been so much fun. Photos are uploaded in my facebook page.

After the vacation,  I finished this page  which  I started two weeks ago  and never had time to finish it  because  I was hooked with Stieg Larrson trilogy.  I really really loved those books.

The lay-out is inspired  from this photo inspiration from Berry 71Bleu.

I borrowed this photo from my friend,  since  I don't have any girls to scrap with.   Still praying and wishing to be blessed with one.   And of course,  my friend Nell,  would always love to lend me her girls pictures to play with.  Thanks my dear.  Atasha and Alex are really gorgeous here.

Supplies: Paper - Inkido, flowers - inkido and prima, bakers twine, ALL brad and doily.

I'm also joining the challenge at Bird is the Word Challenge: Future.


Thanks for the visit  and hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend.

Lola's treasure

My mom with his two grandsons - Wacs and my son, Zid.  
These two would always fight  to get my mom's attention and who sits beside her.  Oh well, me and my younger sister are just like that  when we were in their age.

My Creative Mess

Its a beautiful Wednesday!

A busy and inspiring table for me.  I love looking at it this way,  my creative mess:

 The lay-out  I finished last thursday and still seating on my table  since  I never got a chance to take a photo of it last weekend,  an atc  I am trading,  a mixed media tag, papers for the ATC  I am working on,  the eiffel tower stamp from Inkido,  my wicker basket and box that hold those loose papers and other bits  that makes me happy.
I need to take a better photo of this lay-out!   This page is special to me  since  its almost 3 decades  of friendship with these gals.  We were friends  since we were 6 years old - from grade school to high school until after college.  Now,  most of us are married and some are living abroad.  And we still see each other  at least twice a year  for those who are left behind. 

 My ATC for Meredith, that girl is so cute!

 My mixed media tag - I need a better photo of this too. 

Thanks for dropping by  and don't forget to drop by Julia  for more snoop and lots of inspirations!

Have a great day! 
hugs,  Jona

Tag Tutorial on My Stampbox

I am a guest designer this month at My Stampbox.com.  Bettina sent me Road Trip stamp set to work with.  I love their acrylic stamps and it comes with  a case  for easy storage.

Here's my finished tag  and I redirect you to My stampbox for the complete tutorial:

Thanks for the visit  and hope you can leave me some love over My StampBox. 

Shabby Tag

I had so much fun making this tag from scraps and after being inspired by Berry bleu tags,  I guess,  I would like to make more tags to adorn my own scrapbook pages.

Little did I know,  that making tags require as much patience and enthusiasm as making cards and lay-outs.

Thanks for the visit.

Happy Valentines Day!!!
