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?

Gelai's 7th bday

Gelai's 7th bday was a blast. Although it has been raining the whole afternoon, many people still came. Everything from the decorations, cakes, food and games were all perfect. Abby baked these yummy goodies, 7 butterfly cakes and 4 tier muffins. They tasted good!

Ethan's digital book

I finally made these for my inaanak Ethan, his 1st bday celeb. Btw, he's 3 1/2 yrs old now haha.

Acrylic galore

I was searching for a new LO medium for gifts this Christmas. I found an acrylic sheet(size 9x12in) in Art Friend which costs only $2.30. At first, I only bought 4, just in case, I thought. Then Lew and I came back after a week and bought all their diamond sheet stock bwahahaha, 30pcs in all. I threw in 5 more tinted ones, just to experiment later. Lew was shocked and complained when I handed him the bag because it was sooooo heavy. In addition to that, I bought 2 pregnancy books at a book sale at Bras Basah complex.

These are what I have done so far..

Where does the time go?

I have been taking it easy these past few weeks, Doctor's orders and more strictly Lew's orders. By the time I had my energy going, I was again in pain, still have it now. When will it end? I will be going to the office next week, and I'm hell sure that work has piled up! But I am not well rested yet! Time goes by so fast, I thought I will be able to keep up with my scrapping, orgranizing and all the gazillion things I have to do. Even thinking about it makes me stressful! Haha!

I scrapped a bit. I finally used my zutter. During my organizing, I found a boxful of receipts. I painstakingly sorted all of it, some went into the shedder and the rest were neatly compiled. Then I decided to make a minibook for next year's bills and receipts so I won't end up having the same mess again. This is what I came up with, the design is basicaly the same for every month and I still don't have a decent cover.



Then last Saturday, I begged Lew to let me go out and at last, he agreed. We bought this cute ukelele for Sandi for her 3rd bday. We got this for her because everytime she is at our home, she would admire Lew playing his guitar. The ukelele is real, the store helper even tuned it before he placed it in the box. Then I altered it a bit before we gave it to her. Her reaction was WOW! It was well worth it. Here is how I transformed it.

i won! i won!

Wowoweee!!! I won the Scrappersatsg Challenge#22 with this altered creation...

Thanks Maps for the yummy RAK!

Scrappersatsg Challenge #23 is UP, visit us and maybe you can get some inspirations. Here is my take...

H for Aby

Another wood altered alpha for Lew's pamangkin, Harvey. I am rushing everything before we go home to the Philippines on Saturday. I only thought of doing these things too late so now I think I'm stressed..

Its my first time to use stickles when I made this. I think I went overboard. Confession: I have started hoarding these small sparkly bottles hehehe (ding!ding!ding! an idea just came to mind.. Scrappersatsg Challenge #20)

For Julianne and Gabe

Lew's pamangkins, Julianne and Gabe, arrived in the Philippines today. We will be seeing them on Saturday as we are going home too. Yeheeyy!!!

These are some wood altered alphas I made for them.

Rodfel

Gift to Rodfel on his birthday April 2007.

Happy Birthday Bache 2006

I asked Mau to send me some pix of Bache so I could make her an LO so Jaelle and Rodfel would give it to her on her birthday (April 9th). I have just discovered the inking technique and made a mess on the hearts. I was going to throw them away but then I thought, 'hey! this is scrapbooking! I could do whatever I want!'.. And later on I realized, I liked the distressed effect it brought on the layout. I handstitched the lines/designs inside the heart. The element with the ribbon opens up 3 folds to reveal 3 more pictures of Bache together with Jaelle and Rodfel as they grow up. She really liked it!

Chinchin is now a little Lady

When Lew and I were still dating, Chinchin was our baby. We would take her wherever we go. Not sure if you could read the journaling, but it describes a scene where a stranger thought that she was our child and even said that she looks like Lew more than me. We just laughed coz Chinchin is my brother's eldest daughter. The main picture was taken during her 9th birthday party and all the small pictures were when she was still 2yrs old. She has grown up so easily.

I have just started scrapbooking when I did this page. It again has the same interactive style that you have to lift/swing/pull something to reveal a journal or pix. This was my thing during that time.

My First

This is my first ever scrapbook page. I don't have a kid of my own so I focused mainly on my nieces as subjects. This LO shows my nieces' pix and their qualities that time. The picture was taken after Chinchin and Tintin's birthday party (December 28, 2005). It can swing up to display more journaling.
