I have been procrastinating in creating my entry for the Kaya 27 Challenge in Pinoy Scrapbookers. When I first saw the challenge details, I was glad that digital entries are accepted. But a few days later, I thought I wanted to have a traditional layout because the ladies in there have great layouts and I was inspired. I gathered my stash to check on what I have and I only have a few. I have several kits purchased from Studio Azul but then I don’t want to use it yet – I am reserving them for my album

And so, it is only now that I found time to enjoy my use of PC (hubby is in their Photography Club’s General Assembly). I can use the computer today, all by myself! First thing in the morning, I exported the raw image of the picture hubby took a couple of days ago and made a digital LO for this challenge. I browsed my digital kits but ended up using my favorite kit to date – Grandma’s Porch by Mad Scrapper Designs.

“The Wedding Planner”

Oh, I remember I did not post about my Kaya 26 entry so I might as well take this opportunity to show it. Kaya 26 was a Pearl Challenge. We have to make a layout with pearls. This was actually my second layout. I was not in the picture on the first layout so I have to redo it. And voila – I made this!

“Engaged”

Materials Used:

Flowers – Prima and Heidi Swapp

Diecut Alphas and photo corner – Colorbok

Patterned paper and rubons – from Studio Azul kit

This was the layout that I did not submit because I did not follow the requirements hehehe. Just want to show you:

“Water Babies”

Materials Used:

Solid and Patterned Paper – Colorbok

Punch-out Alpha – Colorbok

Chipboard – Provo Craft

Flowers – Heidi Swapp

Thanks for looking

At last, I will now be able to post my layouts for the Color and Lyric Challenge in One Single Seed. I’ve been having issues with my internet connection but here it is now.

“Love to Love You Baby”

June Lyric Challenge

“Moments that Matter”

June Color Challenge

I used Grandma’s Porch by Mad Scrapper Designs for both layouts. It was really a nice kit and take note, I purchased it with a $5 discount coupon as my token for participating in the OSS Speed Scrap Challenge. Isn’t it wonderful? I just got a gorgeous kit for less! Visit Mad Scrapper Designs store for more.

What can you say about these layouts? Am I improving?

For One Single Seed, their June Sketch Challenge is also out. And it was provided by Donna, way to go girl! I love your sketch so much I can’t wait but do it at once. And while I am on sick leave (yes, I am sick since Saturday), I indulged myself creating a few layout I can post and upload. And OSS June sketch is one. I had fun doing the challenge because I have a couple of new pictures so here it is:

I used the photos taken during our Family Outing at Lake Villa. My mom and dad was reminiscing the day I got married and so we decided to go over at the resort where my wedding reception took place and it was Lake Villa resort. Our wedding in 2004 was a blast (at least for me and my family). My husband and I personally took care of everything and even on the day before our wedding, I am still preparing the tiniest details for the reception. It was, however, my mistake. I did not understand the concept of hiring wedding coordinators before. I thought they were just additional expenses but I was wrong. I got sick 2 days before the wedding and I have 39degrees fever while I was marching down the aisle. But still, I was able to manage. I walked down the aisle crying and still went to the reception as if nothing is happening inside of me. Here are some pics:

The same pool that the kids enjoyed swimming in was the pool we used to setup the stage. It was hard for the carpenters who did it but it was well worth it.

Once again, a new month is again time for new challenges, whether sketches, speed scraps, templates, etc. For Black Magic Sketches, it is their monthly sketch challenge and for this month, we are to use the colors red, green, teal, yellow and black! I was so excited to know the colors for I can finally use the Child’s Play Kit by Scraps of Ellay.

Here’s my take:

The kids enjoyed their summer of 2009. At last, they wouldn’t be settled on an inflatable pool alone. They got the chance to enjoy a real big pool. See more pictures here. It was way fun even though it was raining that day. Totally washed out all our worries.

I have been away for some time. And while I am out, I have been doing quick posts about the scraps I made so as not to keep this site idle . Haha, I can’t blog but I can do some scraps

It has been very busy at work and I need to dedicate my time for a while to do my regular tasks or else…I might end up losing my job haha! Anyway, the hard work paid off. The result of today’s judgement turned out pretty successful and I want to give myself a reward! My long-awaited vacation! I hope I will be able to get one (it would probably just be short though). I am praying my boss will allow me. Everybody was tired and stressed out and we need some time to breathe. It is always a pleasure to go on vacation when the job was well done. Anyway, final result will still be on Friday but today was already a great day for me.

Oooopppsss, extra!

Another scrap done last night, pardon me but I can’t bring myself to end this post without posting the layout This is my take on the May Font Challenge at One Single Seed. The font given for the challenge was Jellyka – St. Andrew’s Queen. This was my first time to use this font in my layout but it was a good one. Take a look

The picture was taken by hubby when he was practicing with the prime lens. No editing done so I can say, he’s learning fast, huh! I love this pic and I am thinking of replacing my gravatar hehehe…
