Colorful Scraps!

Hello, I'm back! I just noticed, the last time blogged about a scrapbook page was last year, July 4th. It has been almost a year...

I am dancing with Mr. Mojo and hoping he will not leave me! Scrapbooking has always been my stress reliever and my life's balance even before my Hubby left. Whatever mood I have, I just go upstairs in my scraproom haven and make sure I create something for the day. Lately, I fell in love with the rainbow colors and here are my outputs...



My Kaleidoscope... It is a toy producing symmetrical patterns in multiple reflections like loose pieces of colored glass or papers. For me, I look at my first child as a kaleidoscope -- so many joyful colors and patterns which reflects my life as a mother and how I brought him up to be a fine young man. He has grown up to be a responsible, caring, God fearing and happy person. I used here assorted scraps of patterned papers, cardstock, foam AC letter stickers, chipboard embellishments, metal brads and eyelet, heart button, DMC threads, flower and pearls. 



My Happiness... I always say that my youngest child makes me feel young too. When Lorenzo was still a playful boy, I would spend time playing with him, and although it was a boy's world, I enjoyed doing things with him and hear his giggles. And so, just like his Kuya, he is also my biggest source of happiness!  I used the same assorted scraps of patterned papers, cardstock, chipboard title, metal brads, buttons, flowers, washi tape and DMC threads.

Lorenzo will soon be graduating in Junior Highschool and his school requested for a family picture to capture his achievement. Since its still pandemic, and graduation rites and other gatherings are still prohibited, this has been the requirement of the school just to not miss this milestone. I would like to thank SWP Studio and its owners Bunny and Rico Marfil for this photo shoot and for accepting my last minute reservation. Although this shoot made me miss my Hubby more, I know he is just happy to see us SMILE again.

So, I will be scrapping our latest studio photos for now.... please watch out!

TFL and happy scrapping!.

Life goes on...


It has been 8 months since we lost their Daddy, my partner... This coming weekend is the first Father's Day that we are not celebrating. I would like to learn to see positive things despite a negative spot. Because of these two gifts left with me, I find the strength to put my foot forward and bravely weather life again.

Finding my inner peace, the things that makes me happy again, cleaning and messing my scraproom and just hanging out with Luigi and Lorenzo. Thank you Lord Almighty for the gift of a grateful heart.

TFL.
