Scrap It Lah Challenge

Went over at Scrap It Lah"s Site and saw their August Challenge given by my Idol Iris Uy! She wants us to have "three things in our layout... stamping, embossing, and misting. Plus there must be at least one raw chipboard to dress up". Ever since I went to Iris' Classes I'm always awed by the different techniques that she uses in her layout. So this challenge is really going to be fun. Here's what I came up with:



Here are a few closeup photos of the techniques I did.


Did some stamping and for the embossing, I first stamped the lamp post on white cardstock using a clear ebossing ink the applied black embossing powder, then I cut it out. For the raw chipboard, I used one of my "Dusty Attic" Fence chipies and applied copper dabber paint then put patches of citrus dabber.

Did some misting ang masking too!

Charming and Adorable- LGS challenge

Its been quite some time since I joined the "LETS GET SHABBY" monthly challenge. For this month, its TOILE AND TICKING! I fell in love with the Creations made by the DT's so I thought I'd give it a try. So I went through my stash and saw two papers that I hope would meet the criteria.

Here's my entry:

Here's My Entry Using my new prima papers and rubons which were simply perfect for this challenge!

First Glimpse of You!

Found time last week to do a couple of layouts and I couldn't resist the challenge over at SCRAP THAT BABY! Their challenge this month is to scrap Ultrasound pictures of our babies. This challenge is simply perfect because I haven't scrapped the 4D ultrasound of my DD.

Well, Here's my Entry using MME Papers! TFL!

Stuck on You Sketches Entry

It's been a few weeks since I found time to scrap. I'm so glad I got a few days off and made this layout for STUCK ON YOU SKETCHES.

Here's the beautiful Sketch from Liz Qualman:


And Here's My take on the sketch:


It's Summertime over here and I decided to use one of my pictures with my DD when we took a dip in the pool! TFL!

Prima March Product Pick and Palette

This is the Prima Pallete for the month of March. I rarely do monochromatic pages so i thought I'd give it a try.

Denim And Lace Challenge at Let's Get Shabby!

I've been busy lately with work that I rarely can scrap or join challenges anymore. But when I went blog hopping a few weeks ago, I saw a couple of challenges that I couldn't resist! One of it is the 'DENIM AND LACE' Challenge over at LGS! Here's what I came up with:

="

I used the Pink Paislee resist front Patterned paper as my base and did some distressing! I'm becoming a fan lately of using distress ink and doing resist stamping and I'm loving it! I also used denim as a frame for my picture as well as used it as a strip together with a lace at the right upper corner of my page. Added pre-made denim flowers also to my cluster of Prima flowers!TFL!

Sweet Girl - Let's Get Shabby Challenge 16!

Ever since I gave birth to my DD I kind of experimented on doing shabby chic layouts and totally loved it! So when I found this new site called LET'S GET SHABBY I was amazed by the beautiful work of their DT's! And they have challenges Too! So I thought I'd give it a try....

Challenge 16 is first to choose one of two kitchens then use 3 of the colors in that kitchen as the dominant colors in the layout and also you have to use 1 fabric and 2 diecut shapes. I chose Kitchen 2 and here's what I came up with! TFL!



Kitchen No. 2


Chose the colors light pink, Dark Pink and green as my dominant colors for this page. Did some stamping too. I recently bought this Dusty Attic Laser chicken wire chipboard and I didn't want to use it only for 1 layout. So what I did was I used it as a stamp using brown paint. And it turned out great! LOL! For the diecut shapes, I used 2 sizes of butteflies.



For the fabric, I first sprayed it with pink shimmerz mist then placed twigs, flowers and stamen at the center and rolled it up forming a bouquet. This by the way was inspired by one tutorial that Master Iris Babao Uy did! Thanks Iris!

Here are some close ups of my layout!




Materials used:
Papers- Shabby Green Door for the base and my scraps from Prima, Websters Pages, green CS
Flowers- Prima
Daisy D's Journaling cards
Chipboards- All about Scrapbooking, Dusty attic (as stamp)
Local lace ribbon and fabric

NEW BOOTS - SEPTEMBER 21 REVEAL

Its reveal time once again at Sketchabilities! This new sketch by Karan Gerber is simply perfect for the pictures that I have had developed for quite some time but didn't get the chance to scrap. It's my DD once again, this time showing off her new dress but most specially her Boots! If I'm a scrapaholic then she's a "shoeholic"! She's less than two years old but she's particular already with the shoes that she wants to wear. While at the mall trying to get shoes for her, she wont try anything I chose! But when she saw these WHITE BOOTS, she was so in a hurry to try them on and we could not take it off already. She wore them until we arrived home! LOL! So I guess this now officially makes it her favorite! LOL!

Here's my layout and the sketch:
