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:

Full Credits HERE.

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.
