Bicolandia Album

Its been a month since we, the Darling Angels together with our loved ones had a great time in Bicol and Misibis Bay.  Now, its about time to document those memories  . . .

I created this mini album from the cardboards I have collected this year, and added bits and pieces of patterned paper in between the pages.  I really had a hard time choosing a few photos from 900 photos we had from our vacation.
Papers are mostly from jubilee collection of Best Creation and some scraps  I have.  I  really can't throw them out.  I love making tassels and you will see more of them on my projects.
Have a great week ahead!

A day of creative fun!

Its a rare moment to scrap with my son around. And more so,  almost a whole day of creative fun.  I finished a lay-out and our mini album from our last vacation.
Here's my lay-out using the Get Picky  anniversary sketch #13.

Loved this sketch and loved how my July 4th blended well with my chosen photos.

Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend!!!

More Christmas Cards

65 days before christmas and here's more christmas cards . . .

Playing with the new Christmas line from Inkido / Papercraft Scandinavia

Loved this new photo stamp.  Embellished with new harmony flowers and blings.

Thanks for the visit. 

Altered Bottle

I loved altering bottles and my little space is now crowded with my altered bottles,  all filled with yummy flowers and buttons for my crafts.

This time I used a tostitos salsa bottle and adorned with Inkido flowers and trims.  I made my own tassel and added it to my cutie patootie bottle.

Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend!!!

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.

Stormy lay-outs

When typhoon Nesat visited my country,  I stayed at home and slept most of the morning.  No electricity,  no internet connection and too lazy to scrap. 

Finally, I overcome my laziness and started scrapping.  However,  these lay-outs were already planned a week before I went on vacation.  So,  all the papers and embellishments are prepared already.  I just need to work on the page.

Forever summer paper collection and embellishments by Papercraft Scandinavia (Inkido).

 close up on the embellishments:

Have a great week.  Please do send me some sunny thoughts since its still raining here.

Thanks for the visit!

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!

Thanks for the visit and send me lots of sunny smiles  for I will be on a vacation in two days!!!! Woot! Woot!

hugs,

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!
