Christmas 2022

My favorite time of the year and my favorite subject to scrap!

These have been part of my backlogs and I was able to finish it with my journaling. Christmas layouts always excites me not just because of the bright colors and the ornaments like trees, bells and Santa, but because of the truly festive season of love and hope. Making these in the summer months make me feel Christmas is coming so soon.

Christmas 2022...  Got this picture late September last year in the Ikea store in SM MOA. Occasions like this makes me miss Dodo again. Well, we went shopping instead to forget that missing part of us! I used here MM PPS, Scenic Route scraps, DMC threads, AC Thickers cardboard letters, buttons, epoxy and cardboard stickers.

I aimed to finish my backlogs and create more happy pages! Hope this inspires you to go back to your passion and mess your scrapping nooks once again.

Thanks for looking!

 

BLISS!

Roman Catholics are on holiday this week and it is Black Saturday today.

Aside from the much awaited physical rest is restoring my peace and creating life balance. Its happening now in my scraproom, where else?! Yesterday, I organized new ribbons and some Christmas ornaments my Auntie sent from the US. And I thought of using them for my new layouts (will post that soon!). Meantime, I had some finishing touches on some old pages sitting in my box and finally done for posting.

Since the pandemic, I started revisiting my boy's scrapbook albums. Dusted them, changed crumbling plastic page protectors, glued falling embellishments, labelled them by numbers and restored the albums itself. I realized Lorenzo has more albums than Luigi. So as much as I wanted to catch up with Luigi's pages, I decided to create 2 layouts per picture to make sure that the 2 boys get the same memory in their own albums.

Here goes... 

Bliss... The photo was taken at the dining lounge of the Manor Hotel in Baguio City. Just looking at my boys make me feel blissful, but a little regretful for their father, because he can no longer see them grow more. Well, I hope he will from heaven! I used here Webster Pages PPS, MM PPS, assorted cardstocks, Prima flowers, DMC threads, Tim Holtz Ranger distress inks and Idea-logy trimmings, ribbons and native twine.  

Got more to share.... TFL!
