My Scrapcorner!

Hi Everyone! Because of the great prizes in store for the winner of the RAK my world by Marj, I decided to reveal my mess...ooops! I mean my stash! Believe me,when you visit her blog, you will drool at the goodies in store for the winners!

But first let me show you my Scrapcorner when it was a bit neat and with less kalat. This was taken right after the scrappinmoms Idol contest.But of course several months have past kaya its back to its usual messy state which you will see in my slideshow. Hehehe!

November Scrapbytes Entry

Here's my latest entry for "Scrapbytes"- Seek Inspiration Challenge. For starters I sought inspiration from one international scrapper- Kelly Goree, whos' works I saw at the BG Gallery. I just loved her layouts and her choice of PPS especially when she uses bright colors which I love also. There's this one LO which really caught my eye.



With this inspirational Layout of Kelly Goree, I made this LO of my son who was a month old when the picture was taken. Its been a long time since I wanted to scrap this picture but could not quite decide how to do the LO until I saw the above work of Kelly.And since my son Gian(aside from my hubby of course)is my inspiration in life, Swak na swak talaga itong layout na ginawa ko for scrapbytes!Here's my entry entitled "YOU".



I used my left over BG Oh! Baby Boy PPS, did some stitching and for the first time, I did a lot of DOODLING!Yup! madami na po yan. Hehehe! Thanks scrappinmoms! Kung di dahil sa requirement ng doodling sa challenge, I wouldn't have attempted to doodle.

Dear Rita,

Your layouts are beautiful! I woud love to showcase your work on our website and blog as a Guest Designer in August 2008. I would ask you to make 3 layouts and/or altered art projects with the materials and also include the instructions on how to make each one. All your layouts will be featured on the Inspiration page, the homepage, as well as our blog, as well as your picture and your bio.

If this is something you would be interested in, please let me know.

Thanks so much!

Two More Layouts this week!

Its been a really productive week for me. After my piggy tales and BG Layouts I was again able to make my Hambly Challenge entry and my first overlay layout. Hope I can make some more over the weekend. Here's what I came up with.

One Fruitful Afternoon!

I was supposed to go to greenhills yesterday afternoon to attend a meeting but because of the heavy rains the group decided to cancel it. So with nothing else to do, Liezl, Chiqui and I decided to scrap! As usual before starting, we first had merienda - baked macaroni with buttered toast and a very deliscious Choco from Bicol! Grabe! ang Saraaaaap! Then off to Liezl's Playroom to scrap!

It's been a long time since I last made a layout that wasn't meant to be submitted for a challenge or contest. Kaya ang sarap ng feeling na nakatapos ako ng isang LO in one sitting. Normally it takes me days to complete a layout. Maybe because it was not for a contest kaya ok lang kahit simple layout ang gawin. And It was accepted at the BG Gallery pa! I was also able to finish my piggy tales entry that day. Well let me share it with you. Feel free to comment on it! TFL!

This is my Piggy Tales entry.
