Sketchabilities # 42!

This may come late here in my blog... been quite busy for the past weeks! But it always excites me to share a page for Sketchabilities! Here's sketch 42 and its up here...




Shabu-shabu... It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we celebrated it in Tagaytay. We were driving around the hill to find a good place to have lunch when we found this shabu-shabu resto. Tried it and the last thing I heard was a lonnnggg BURP! It was Lorenzo's first time to cook and eat shabu-shabu. I used here DCWV Green Stack pps, cardstocks, AC Thickers foam shapes, K and Company diecut flowers, Jillibeans journaling sprouts, DMC thread and Ranger glossy accents.

Been out of touch for almost 3 weeks, been so occupied preparing for Lorenzo's 7th Birthday Bash plus need to do the final stretch for school requirements. All came up at the same time and I was afraid I might lost time. But inspite of all these, blessings are still pouring! Thank God!

Thanks for looking as always!

sketchabilities # 41!

Its up and you can see the designer's inspirations here. Join us for another month of challenge and win exciting scrapbook goodies. In the meantime, here's my interpretation of sketch #41...




Rainbow of Friends... My scrapbooking buddies truly have unique birthday ideas and they make sure that you will be the happiest on your special day. Here we celebrated Dra. Chiqui and Ytet's birthdays at Sanctuario de San Pablo. Its such a nice place to create a rainbow of friendship! I used here Prima papers and flowers, cardstock, corrugated board, AAS gromets, fibers, lace, Ranger glossy accents and transparent letter stickers.

Just had my first PTC in school last weekend. I was so worried and nervous but it all turned out okay! Now we're heading towards the last quarter of the school year. It'll be exactly 6 weeks from now. At the same time, I am now busy preparing for little Lorenzo's 7th celebration. I need all the powers to do both Mommy and teacher duties, so wish me luck again.

Thanks for looking peeps!

Grow Slowly...

Grow Slowly... My Luigi is growing up to be a young man! Say I'm selfish but I wish you'll slow down and be my baby forever. I used here Websters Pages papers and Sparklers, White cardstock, Tattered Angel glimmer mist, Prima flowers, ribbons and lace, Tsukineko inks, Colorbox fluid chalk ink and Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I made some paper tearing and distressing on the mat of my photo. Then, I cut some flower-like patterns from Webster's Pages lefterovers and I had paper folding and layering to give it a 3D look. Overall, I have a pleasant feeling of creating a Webster's Pages papers on a boy layout... it was FUN!

This is my page for Iris Uy's challenge. I hope I did justice using my paper leftovers.

Thanks for looking and Happy LOVE day tomorrow!

Sketchabilities #40!

It's the love month and I can't believe we are on the second of the year already... time moves sooo fast! And I'm on my 7th page for Sketchabilities. Join our monthly sketch challenge and win exciting prizes, check it out here.



XOXO... Here's a photo of my Chuwee and his Dad having a little bonding time together. Its quite seldom to find a nice photo of the two boys and its great to capture it in scrapbook pages. I used here DCWV Green Stack pps, chipboard shapes, cardstocks, glittered glue, AAS recycled heart shape, and AC Thickers vinyl letters.

I am so high with scrapbooking this days, after I attended a class last weekend, I still feel like scrapping all the time. Unfortunately, its busy time in school and we are working on grades, grades and GRADES! I just wish I can have another ME time really soon! I am also excited for little Lorenzo's 7th bash and I'm working on a Toy Story surprise for him. Life is so tiring, but it is still good after all!

Thank you Lord! TFL as always.

Websters Pages Classes

I can't believe I was able to make Iris Uy pages!!! The LB girls attend her Websters Page Class exclusively here in Los Banos last Saturday, January 29. We had three pages to play with and we basically lifted her original pages plus a lot of new techniques and materials to be used. It was an afternoon of fun and scrapping, bonding and playing... wish ko lang maulit ulit! Now let me share my busy hands' creations...



Time with You... Its Mom and daughter time to take the center page, hehehe! Such a nice shot to scrap! Love the new things I made here plus the use of granular gel medium and mica flakes on the bird and his glimmery house. I used here white cardstock, Websters Pages pps and Sparklers, granular gel with acrylic paint and mica flakes, chipboard shapes, Adirondack acrylic dabbers, mist, Tsukineko inks, ribbons and Tim Holtz Distress Inks.





Heart with Joy... My second page was a shot of my two wacky boys in Tagaytay City after a lunch date with the family. Here we did some misting and stamping using Tim Holtz's Distressing Ink and water sprays. I used here Websters Pages pps and Sparklers, white cardstock, laces and ribbons, chipboard shapes, mists, Tim Holtz Distress Ink and Adirondack dabber, Prima flowers and Tsukineko ink.





My Love... Look at the blending of colors we did on our third page. We used the wonderful colors of Tim Holtz's Distress Inks and his blending tool and sponges. Plus another great technique with the use of gel mediums. Look at the centerpiece that we did as an accent which was adhered with the use of gel. I scrapped my two boys running and playing at the UPLB grounds after an all-day performance in school last January 27. For the materials, I used here Pink Paisley pps, Websters Pages pps, Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Adirondack acrylic dabber, laces, Prima flowers, AC Thickers chipboard letters, Tsukineko Ink and for the center embellishments I used safety pin, metal buttons and antique metal flower, beads and sequences, tule cloth and Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

Mr. Mojo is still here and my mind is still whirling with lots of ideas. I just wish I have the time to put them all in a white space! Iris left us with a little challenge on the left papers and embellishments all to be assembled on a white base. Oh well, mine is done but my eyes are still feasting over it. I will share it soon, promise!

My weekend is finally over and school will be in full blast for the 4th grading period. Thanks for dropping by my blog, TFL peeps!
