i {heart} you

here's another LO i made during Dell's absence. the picture was taken November 2007 and i only got to scrap it now. lately, i've been using 52 sketches on all my LOs as i find them simple and easy to follow. thank goodness for sketches - i just realized that i'm not a free style scrapper. i have 2 more LOs to post but i think it still lacks some embellishments so i'll work on it first and post it soon.

in the meantime here's the LO i'm talking about. i just don't know what's wrong with my camera setting that all the photos i took were too bright.

a Valentine LO for my son

here's something i made last night. i couldn't sleep so i decided to do a LO. it's an inspiration i saw over at Scrapbook Safari when i bought some stuff last week. i made my own version.

Journalling - my joy, my life

materials used : cardstock-DCWV, lace cardstock - KI Memories, alpha stickers & words Miss Elizabeth's, EK Success, vinyl appliques - Scrapworks, ribbon - Joann's Craft Essentials, Cuttlebug embossing folder

and here's my son admiring and appreciating my work - he actually said "Thank you Mommy" when i told him it's for him.


Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Thanks for looking!

love...always & forever

i finished it...just in time for his birthday, departure and valentine's day. no, he wouldn't bring this with him when he goes home to the Philippines.

it's nothing grand - just an album made with L-O-V-E =) how cheesy huh? i couldn't and wouldn't even dare list down all the materials i used or i'll go crazy. all i know is everything came from my stash that i've hoarded all these years and some new finds while shopping.

enjoy viewing and violent reactions are not welcome! j/k

happy valentine's!!!

what i found at the $ Tree store

on my way to the nail salon to have my nails done, i decided to pass by the $ Tree store to kill time since i still have a good 20 mins before my 2pm appointment. and while looking around, i saw some stuff that i never bought in a regular retail store because of the price.

the pop-up giftwrap tape dispenser and tape strips by Scotch and bought 5 packs of the strips.

Fiskar scissors (and bought 2 of the No. 7 and 1 for kids since Igi loves to cut papers)

stamp pads (in blue, gree and purple) by Miss Elizabeth and 2 sets of glitter glue; all guaranteed ACID-FREE.

and 3 tubes glue stick by Avery

i love $ Tree because they sell stuff that you see in regular retail stores so whenever i go here, i never leave empty-handed. how could you resist not buying when you can only get it for $1 vs the regular price of $4.99, right?

in sepia

my co-kulasa B played with Igi's pic and sent me this...how beautiful and definitely a scrap moment...too late to use for my christmas card but i think i will use this next year. =)

thanks mommy bry!

my 1st ever christmas card

every year, my egroup holds a christmas card exchange. it's like the kris kringle except you send a card to your baby instead of a gift and i've always joined the ccx since it was first conceived. then my SE egroup thought of doing the same thing, except on this one, you have to make your own card since all members are scrappers.

so here's my take on the se ccx exchange. this is actually my 3rd card. the 1st one was for my N@W-USA ccx baby and i forgot to take a photo of it. the 2nd had to be thrown away because it was supposed to be mailed by my FIL when he gets to Pinas but unfortunately he had to leave one of his luggage and the card was in that luggage. my short note was not apt for the card anymore so i threw it away.

to my SE ccx baby, so sorry if this will come to you late - strings of unfortunate events caused by those airport personnels delayed all my plans. but just like what they say "better late than never!"

Igi's birth album

finally, after almost 3 years of no output, i was able to work on Igi's birth album. well, i'm not totally finished with it yet but at least 70% of it are done. so i decided to post them para naman magkalaman na tong blog na to. =)

mojo's slowly getting back but i do have gazillions of backlog. i hope to find the time again and it must be SOON!

TFL!
