Layouts for Mystical Scrapbooks...

Sharing to you some of my works for Mystical Scrapbooks for the month of March.

Here is the materials that our Lady Boss Donna has sent me...

Thanks for these!!!

This papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle - Love Letters papers and Basic Grey's Marrakech.

Here are my layouts using LYB...

Closer look...

Title: 1 fine day

materials used: LYB diecut paper; KI lace cardstock; Prima Blings and AC thickers

For my first layout, can't believe I was able to scrap a page using 1 pattern paper only!!! I think this is the first time I've done such page!!! Usually I use up to 3 to 4 pps in my pages (love to layer!!!) But trying something you dont normally do is sometimes just great!!! (and money saving too hahaha!)

my next layout.... more LYB goodness...

Attempting the unusual.... using pinks on my boys!!!

Closer....

Title: Dad & Me

Materials Used: LYB pps; Inque Boutique Chipboard; Maya road Alpha chipboard; basic grey Chipboard; Kaiser paints and inks

While I was making this page... Harvey saw it and asked me... "Mommy, Why Pink???" For a moment I dont know what to say to him. Then after, I just told him, pink is also a nice color too hihi" (what an answer hahaha). Anyway, to give this page a masculine feel, I just used platinum inks to color my titles. It looked like metals right? Masculine inspite of all the pinks.

For my 3rd layout... its Basic grey!!! i am a BG challenged kinda person!!! but i was still happy to be able to come up with these...

Closer views....

Title: Love is....

Journaling: ...being able to smile everyday because I know I've got you...

Materials Used: BG pps - Marrakech; Pebeo paint and AC thickers

and for my last layout...

Title: Yum!

Materials: BG pps; Fancy pants felt; Prima flowers and AC thickers

Thanks for looking!!!

4 Harvey

Harvey recently celebrated his 4th birthday last Feb 27. And he celebrated his birthday in school last March 6. He had so much fun and everyone was having a blast with all the games and prizes we gave away. Will be sharing some of the pics soon (still have to resize them hihi) . For the meantime, let me share the invitation i did for his party.This is very simple to do! I just use my cuttlebug on transparencies!!! Printed a few strips and add a picture of my boy.

An Invitation...

I would like to invite you to my tutorial this coming March 21, 2009 at SCRAPPINKIDS!!! You should be a member of the forum and should at least hit 100 posts!!! If you haven't reach the 100 mark, you still have a few days to post away - we would like to get to know you!!! hihi! I'm so excited for this!! Hope to see you all there!!!

The Result of Blog Hopping...

Everyday, I'm like an energizer bunny when in front of my computer. I hop and hop... sometimes staying more that i should be in front of the computer visiting blogs of friends for some scrapping inspirations, events etc... Then i came across BJAY'S Blog. I love reading her blog!!! very entertaining and informative! And because of what i saw on one of her posts this weekend, i ended up at Megatent -Sunday 11 a.m.

The moment I saw her post aboout the CROCS sale... I excitedly told Henry..."hey dad! me sale-CROCS!!!" and my husband's initial reactions was..."Naku, daming tao dyan...nakakatamad yan!" Then i insisted, "laki ng sale!!!! (the sale is BIG!) If were going to buy more than one pair..then it is worth to go there!!!"

So my ever loving husband finally gave in. We invited my MIL who is at the moment here in Manila as well as my 2 SILs to go with us. On our way, my husband was driving like crazy... Making a joke that we should be in a hurry because we might be encountering traffic and endless line just to go inside the tent and there may not have enough CROCS to chose from!

As we go near the venue... traffic sets in. So my husband told us to go down and walk. he would just go somewhere else to park our car as parking inside is full!!!

Then, we saw the line.... Yaiks!!! so long and curling! But we never gave up hope hahaha!!! We patiently endured the heat. Harvey was so thirsty and we are all hungry (its near lunch time!) so we bought sodas, BBQ and fries so that we'll have something to munch as we patiently wait for our turn to enter. Then the moment has come!!! we finally reached the door!!! Were in!!! my husband, who is not so fond of events like these, excitedly got a big platic bag!!!

So it begins!!! we search and search for the perfect pair.... My husband was so sweaty but he didn't mind. Normally, when he is sweaty, he easily gets irritated. But today, we are all in a happy state. Box after box, pile after pile. Our strategy was to get the pairs that has our sizes, put them all on the plastic bag, then after a few rounds, stayed on one corner and try all the shoes on. Harvey was so happy with his Spiderman Crocs! - his most fave of the crocs that were able to buy him.
Sharing to you some of our pics inside the tent!!!

There you have it folks!!!
