Layouts to Share!

Recently browsed my files and noticed a few layouts I made a few weeks ago that I haven't uploaded yet.

Title: YOU MAKE MY HEART SING!



This is the layout I submitted for Creative Scrappers' DESIGN TEAM CALL. Aside from being my Lucky Page (Coz I was chosen by CS as one of their DTs),this page is also very precious to me. My heart simply sings when I look at the picture. I can feel the love of my DD for me just by staring at this page!

Title: A SMILE SO CAPTIVATING



Made this page for the PINK PAISLEE CHALLENGE last month at Create my Keepsake. I didn't win but I loved how this page turned out.

Lastly, This third layout is based on a sketch by Becky Fleck at Page Maps. Made this a few months back but failed to upload. Its a picture of my DD Sharie when she had her ear piercing done by Ninang Chiqui Gutierrez! All the other scrapaholics God parents were also present during the said event to give moral support and to document the event! Special thanks to Liezl for taking the pictures!

Title: IT'S A GIRL THING!

Sketch #59

Title: YUONE


This layout is a gift for my son's Pre-school teacher. She recently gave birth and I was her son's pediatrician. Such a cutie, don't you agree? Incidentally this was chosen as LOTD last July 16 at Creative Scrappers! Yipeee!

Sketch #60

Title: MY CUTIE PIE



I used my Scenic Route Sonoma line for this page. I also decided to turn the sketch around to give it a different look.

Watch for the other upcoming weekly sketches at CS! I'm sure it will stir your creative juices and scrap scrap scrap!

First DT Stint!

Yup! I made it as one of Creative Scrappers Design Team! Yipee! Ooooooh Up to now I'm still on high and trying to pinch myself if this is just a dream! When Kristine of Creative Scrappers called for new DT members, I thought I'd give it a try. Ever since I discovered their site last January, I have been an avid fan of their sketches!This is my first DT stint and I'm so excited to be working with so many talented scrappers! Thanks Kristine for this wonderful oppurtunity! I am likewise thrilled that a fellow filipina Mia Castrillo is also part of the team!

Do checkout Creative Scrappers if you love sketches or if you simply just want to be inspired. I know I was!

Sketchaholic Me!

Ever Since I discovered a couple of sketch blogs this year, I got totally hooked! I'm officially now a fan of a lot of these sketch blogs like Creative Scrappers, 52sketches52weeks, Inspired blueprints, Pagemaps and a lot more! I'm really loving all these fantastic sketches because it made me scrap fast and finish more layouts than last year.

Here are a few of my pages inspired from sketches.

Taken from 52 sketches 52 weeks Sketch 11:





This next sketch is from Scrappinkids' Sketch No. 3 Challenge for the month of june.I decided to do hidden journaling so I can accommodate more pictures.

Title: LOVE FOREVER





This one is from A2Z Scraplets June sketch challenge.Good thing Joanne gave me one of their products so I was able to join their challenges.







This next layout I made during the LB scrapaholics Pajama party. This is my take of the sketch made by our very own Helga Vergara! Lovely sketch Helga!





Had a chance also to join Inspired Blueprints' sketch 25 challenge. here's my take:



Now to do you believe me? Yup! I think its an addiction! But I don't mind coz I'm having fun doing this! LOL!

PAGEMAPS Entry

Its my first time to join a challenge at PAGEMAPS. But I loved this Sketch of becky plus I fell in love with the prize that awaits the winner so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here's the sketch followed by my take on the sketch:





Journaling:
- Smiles that melts your heart
- Once upon a time, there was a lovely little princess and she had her Daddy
wrapped around her little finger. Secretly, he didn't mind at all.

I used the photos of my husband Ryan and DD Sharie who were "goofin' around" while I had fun taking pictures of the two. Just love seeing them bonding together and having fun! Sharie is truly a Daddy's Girl! I used Fancy Pants and DCWV PPS. Did some stitching and punch out also the strip of PP as an add on design to the paper. TFL!

My Little Attic Challenge Entry

It's been a while since Nenette of My Little Attic had a challenge. So when she finally had one I couldn't miss it for the world. Actually the challenge is quite difficult. For one I would be scrapping about me since the theme was " A day in my life". I always have a hard time making layouts about myself. Second we had to use different brands of pps! And to top it all, we had to make our own embellishment and do at least 2 types of distressing technique. Definitely a challenge right? Well here's what I came up with.....



I used BG Urban Prarie and several old Fancy Pants PPS. For my homemade embellishment I made a tree out of PPS. Had this picture also of me sitting and relaxing on a bench during one of my trips to Beijing but I decided to cut it out so it would seem that I'm relaxing under the tree.Its my first time also to used a corrugated board as my base paper. All in all I had fun creating this page! Thanks for the challenge nette!

New Layouts to share!

Here are a couple of pages that I have made over the past weeks but haven't had the time to upload.The first three layouts are of my DD Sharie. Oh! how fast she's growing! She'll be 7 months old already next week.







This next layout is for my son Paolo during his moving up ceremony.
