just a quick share

Pre, Abby, Marix and I scrapped this weekend. I'm happy to be scrapping with friends again, although I dd the least among us since I was not in a scrappy mood. And I didn't get to take pix of what I did because I was sleeping the whole day today hehe. I promise to post them soon, for the meantime I just want to share some new pics of my twin nieces. Aren't they adorable?

Agatha's 2nd bday party

Here is another gift for a cute kid. The party was held at Jollibbee in the Philippines.

Jessica's Christening

We attended Jessica's Christening last Saturday at St Theresa's church. I gave her a cute bathing suit and matching towels and this guestbook.

Seeing double

Do these 2 babies look alike? Yes, they do! That's because they are twins! They are my new nieces, 6 months old. Their names, Mari Haelle and Gracie Mari, are based on the prayer 'Hail Mary, full of Grace'. I haven't seen them yet but oddly I seem to miss them.

I forgot to post these

Some more gifts for friends and inaanak.

Sunday well spent

Here are some LOs I finished while watching the last day of Olympics yesterday.

This one is so simple, just layering and some inking. I printed the title and journal. Even the embellishments are store-bought, already made. And I only found out that the scallop blade attachment thingy for my cutterpede is broken. So I had to handcut the scallop of this LO.


For this one, a bit of effort, I got carried away with the stickles again. Don't know how many dots I did here. Then the swirl was a raw chipboard from lil davies that I had to emboss with gold powder.



I have some 3 more projects to be finished, almost done, just the picture missing..

for Gaby

Together with fellow scrapper friends, Marix and Abby, we helped Pre to put together a 12-page guestbook for Gaby's 1st birthday. She asked us to do 3 pages each, provided the pictures and we can do it however we want. Although Gaby's theme was Disney princess, none of us did a layout according to the theme which made the whole guestbook uniform. It turned out quite well and Gaby's dad(which I learned was also a batchmate Mapuan) liked it very much. Here are my contributions...

Chichuy's guestbook cover page

Kirstin's birthday last Sunday was a blast. A lot .. and I mean A LOT .. of kids were there. There was a magic show and lots of games and prizes. A wide variety of food such as hokkien mee, sushi, vegetarian spaghetti, pizza, finger foods, salads and mini cakes were served. The cake was so cute and yummy, a 2 layered chocolate chewy fudge cake covered in baby pink marzipan with little flowers around, dangling stars and a tiara on top.

As promised, here is the cover page of Kirstin's guestbook. The base was from Nana's kids, large flower from heidi grace, foam thickers, Happy birthday from around the block and some embellies. The words 'Please sign my guestbook' was edited in Photoshop elements and I just mounted in extra thick foam dots. The silver butterfly, I decorated with pink, violet and gold stickles. I had fun making this guestbook, although I had some sleepless nights in making the digital LOs.. it was worth it because it was for sweet Kirstin aka Chichuy.

Chichuy's digital LOs partII

I have finished these at around 9:30 last night.. the covers much later.. Then Lew and I rushed to the printing center.. good thing they are still open.

I wanted to print these into transparencies but the outcome didn't quite went well as I have expected. So I had these printed in photo paper instead.. 3x3 size each and attached at the center of the white chipboard album pages. I was going to stamp some swirls around it but I am afraid I'd mess them up so I let them be.

I have yet taken a pix of the front and back of the album, clouds are not cooperating.. they keep blocking my natural light hehe.. I'll try to post the cover later.

Chichuy's LOs continued...this baby is sooooo cute!

Chichuy's digital LOs

I'm trying to finish the digital LOs that I am planning to print in transparencies/photo paper and attach to the guestbook I am giving as a gift tomorrow. Trina suggested that instead of buying a gift, I would make a guestbook for Kirstin. I saw this plain white chipboard book in Spotlight and I thought it would be perfect. I would make a traditional LO as cover and just attach the monthly digital LOs inside. I can't make paper LOs inside because it would make the book bulkier. I don't think the binding can handle it.

Anyway, below is what I made so far.. isn't she adorable?
