Everyone, Heto na po Ang unang silip kay Baby Shanead Marie Vergara:











Looks like kahawig pa din ng panganay ko na si Gian!

New Layouts to share!

Its been a while since I got to scrap. Been lazy lately with my tummy getting bigger and heavier. After clinic all I want to do is rest coz of back aches and swollen feet. Kaya konti lang na scrap ko. So here are a few LOS I've made a few weeks ago but was unable to upload.

This layout was inspired by a layout of April using SR grafton PPS. Just love the colors of these papers.

Journaling Reads:It's your first time to slide on your own. And just by looking at your face, It seems you really had a great time! Keep on enjoying the siple joys in life my son!


The pictures in the next 3 LOS were taken at grand villa resort during Liezl's birthday last August. We had a great time taking pictures and simply enjoying each others company.




This is my first pregnancy layout and I'm so happy with the final outcome. I used BG sultry PPS for this layout. Finally getting the hang of making girl LOS. LOL! Hirap pala when your used to making boy layouts.

Journaling reads: Although this has been a difficult pregnancy,my only wish is for you to be healthy. Hang in there Baby Shanead! Will be patiently waiting for your arrival in due time. Love Mommy!




These last two are 6 x 6 LOS that Liezl asked us to make during her birthday.Had fun doing this!TFL!

Gian's Linggo ng Wika Presentation

Last Aug 30, My son Had his first Linggo ng Wika presentation at their school. He was so excited that day to show their dance to me and my husband. We went to the school early to get seats in front. And Boy did he made us proud. He never cried or got shy to dance infront of all the parents. Fortunately, a parent uploaded their video at YOU TUBE so you can watch him Here

Layouts to share!

It's been a while since my last post. Been very busy lately in the clinic, giving lectures and also going to Manila with my husband to canvass and buy materials for the house we are building. Good thing I still get to scrap once in a while. Here are a couple of the layouts I made.



This layout was made during our second weekend crop held at Issa's place last June 2 We followed Helga's BINGO card instructions, wherein we have to scrap a page with the following: use transparency, use 5 different fonts for the title, use stamps, use plain white cardstock for the base paper and use at least 1 black and white photo.

Journaling reads:
This silent lad was not a cry baby
Was disciplined and was never spanked by his dad
Was tempered by hand me downs; wasn't demanding
Never blew a birthday candle until he was 33
Studied and worked hard to be a generous provider to enjoy the finer
things in life
Became my life's partner, my husband and great dad to my son.



This layout I made during my 1st on line crop at scrappin kids. we were told to use two brands of PPS, 2 flowers and 2 swirls. Luckily I won!This is my second win from SK.

I recently joined Mystical's "Don't Quote me " Challenge. I immediately fell in love with the saying " Even if a day should go by, when I don't say I love you, may never a moment go by without you knowing I do" , so I decided to use it for this layout.

Materials used: Prima dude papers, Basic Grey wilma Chipboard alphabet, Buttons, MM rub-on and brads.

LUCKY AT SCRAPJAM!

After the funfilled morning of shopping, demo classes,sumptuous lunch and bingo, next came the much awaited Scrap Challenge. We were required to use the Anna Griffin PPS provided by Marissa and also to use Bazzill Fancy edges and Boshers or washers(?). The theme was about friends and friendships. For my layout I used a black bracket shaped base CS and then I did some handcutting on the flowers from one of the patterned papers. I also used the fiskars lace border punch which I borrowed from Lee. Tinamad na kasi ako to go thru my stuff and open my new border punch. Thanks Lee for sharing your stuff!

It was again an anchievement on my part to be able to finish a layout in one hour. that's why it was really a big surprise when Marissa announced that my Layout won third place! Woohoo! It's my first On the spot Scrap challenge win! Our table proved to be lucky after all coz Candy won 2nd Place and Lee won the raffle for the Quickutz Squeeze! WooHoo!
