First few pages for the New Year!

YeHey! Finally had the time to unwind and scrapped again... Its the first bonding moment of the LB Scrpaholics for the year and celebrated Doc Ritz's birthday with an overnight scrap. Its great to be with good friends at the same time, love the things that you do together. I was able to make four layouts over the night, a bit slow because I spent more time chit chatting with friends. 

 

Christmas 2012... This is page is for Lorenzo, this will give him the idea of family and opening gifts, which he always looks forward on holidays. I used here Fancy Pants pps, Prima leaves, buttons, baker's twine, brillance ink and washi tape from Helga.

Christmas 2012... This one is for Luigi. An annual shot of how our little family is slowly growing. I used here assorted christmas papers, rick rack ribbons, brillance ink, paper leaves, metals and DMC threads for the stitches. 

One of a Kind... Finally captured a good smile from Luigi! I just love the sketch and idea of this page, clean, easy and innovative. I used here October Afternoon pps, washi tapes, Echo Park tag and sticker, baker's twine, Prima paper flower, buttons, rick rack ribbons, Maya Road mists and DMC threads.

@ 44!...  Turned 44 last month. Getting old but totally enjoying life! I used here Webster's Pages pps, Prima flowers, silk leaves, buds, Thicker's foam numbers, and ribbons.

As of now, I'm half way on my 2-week vacation from my masters class. Yes, I'm done with the second semester of studying and right now, still evaluating things for the coming 3rd trimester. Taking it slowly for now and just enjoying life... and scrapping!

Thanks for looking as always, have a great weeks ahead!

Work!

A box came in this morning! Came from a very generous client from USA who send a lot flowers, embellishments and journaling tags. Now I can't wait to scrap again!



And here is my work part, I need to create an estimated 148 pages for this set of scrap service. Wow, that's a lot of happy scrapping! Hahaha!



I got an early birthday celebration with my wonderful Scrapaholic family! Along with another celebrant, Nanay Cors and I decided to do a Chinese-Field Trip birthday celebration last Wednesday. The first stop was at the Dapitan Arcade in Manila, we went shopping for ceramics, leather organizers, baskets and Christmas decors. Then the next stop was at Lasting Impression, a one-stop scrapbook store in San Juan. Lunch was at North Park followed by Mobler Store where they got me this great floor lamp which is intended for my scrap area. I love it, thanks mga Lola! And the last and longest stop was at the Noel Bazaar at the World Trade Center. We were out for about 15 hours loaded with shopping, laughing, chatting and girl bonding. We just missed Ytet and Helga!

I'm still working on my handmade Christmas presents, still a lot of boxes to wrap. I'm planning to put up my tree tonight, so wish me luck! School is just doing great and so are my 2 boys. Life is so good today!

Thanks for looking peeps!

Its MONDAY once again! and I have a lot to be thankful once again! First of all, I want to thank Ate Liezl for the check she gave me and its ready for encashment along with my positive dreams! My good scrapping buddies for another bonding moment! And thank God, I was able to relax and unwind during the weekend. I'm done checking my midterm exams and finalizing my grades, done with mommy duties, and now ready to scrap again to finish some more photos for service. And this is just LIFE, loving it!

TFL folks, happy scrapping as always!
