More tags




my sister ordered these last 3 weeks ago.
i made them just this past 2 days.
was busy and could not get to work on them earlier.
i had to rush these cos my sister needs them this morning at 4 am before she leaves for work. (buti na lang umabot)

i had a lot of fun with these tags.
thanks to the acrylic nested tag templates of Simply Srappy (available at Visual Creations)

i played with MM paint, MM foam stamps Floral Dingbats and acrylic paint crackel medium.
these tags got color requirements like torquoise blue, ateneo blue, baby blue and white/blue/pink/yellow.
i mixed up some colors to hopefully get the right shades.
i could not find any PPS on my stacks with these colors so i had to use paints mostly.

i love the cat stamp. (bought at Visual Creations)
the tag name is "KAT" so i thought a cat on the tag would be clever...
plus its my chance to use the cat stamp.

i hope my sister likes the tags.
i also hope that the gals whos names are on the tags loves them too.

i did not get to heat the edges of the ribbons. hope they dont mind.

Put your character in the subject line and forward to your friends and back to the person that sent this to you.

Very interesting to see ‘who’ your friends are!

(10-16 points) You are Garfield :
You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to
have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what
you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may
not see things as you do, but that doesn’t mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what’s i n
and you are never are out of style You are good at knowing how to
satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days
more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned Being married and having children are important to you, but
only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to
give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and
you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to
be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in
your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend
that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause
harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life
is a journey, it’s funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from
traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious
about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom
every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few
Birthdays. Don’t let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker… Every situation is fronted
with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong
family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad
situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a
while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!
Now don’t spoil it! Have some Fun!!

IM sponge bob.

Bedtime Blues



This is my attempt to layering patterned paper.
The LO is about one of those nights where we get to play before bedtime.

journaling reads:
baby: dad, why are you looking at me like that?
Dad's thought: Sleeeeep.... Willem..... Sleeeeep....

i had a lot of fun putting all the papers together positioning them and adding things as i go along.

i love the bear.
i dry emboss it and put some ink on it.
turned out pretty.

i stamped the arrows to emphasize what my baby did to his dad.
i bought the stamps from Visual Creations. this is my chance to use and put arrows on my LO. these arrows are so cute.

My Hubby love this LO..... coz its about him and his son. (hehehehe)

Wedding Anniversary Flowers


august 4, 2007... 5th wedding anniversary.
i was really surprised to find a bouquet of lovely flowers sitting on my office chair.
(dont tell my hubby, i forgot our wedding anniversary.)
super kilig ako.
5 years and he still remembers, and still took the time and effort gives me flowers.
it puts a smile on my face, and made my day.
we have our shares of highs and lows, and became much closer and intimate.
i love the good times we had, it was fun and all good... of course.
i'm greatful for the low and unplesant things we've been thru, made me a stronger person, showed my quality and level of maturity, and best of all, forge our marriage stronger and closer.



these flowers stayed for 2 to 3 weeks in my office.
i smile whenever i see the flowers. reminded me that i'm loved and dear to my husband.
takes my stress away while i'm working.

i love the flowers... and most of all, i love the person who gave them to me, my hubby.

Not Really a Blogger Type

i guess i'm not really the blogger type, takes me a long time to put something on my blog spot...
that or i'm just not hooked enough yet.

i'm determined to keep this blog updated.

i'm busy with things (excuses), thats why i cant update my blog spot as often as i wanted.
i got a day job monday to saturdays and i've got 2 kids to take care of, a house to run...
that and i'm kinda a spoiled/protected child who is used to my parants caring for me(hard to admit but its kinda true).

i wanna take hold of my life, do what i wanna do and accomplish things...
but i dont really have that enought courage in me.
i think i blame my failures to people who i think gives me a hard time(easier than to admit its all me).

i'm not the best writer or anything but i'm not being evaluated here... or am i?(hehehehe)
i got a problem with sticking to a topic.
and another problem with the feeling of being evaluated by a teaher in school.
still have nightmares of school days.

blogger or not, i'm gonna keep this blog spot.

looking at the work of other scrapbookers....

i love looking at the works of other scrapbookers.

i get a lot of ideas,

they inspire me to create Layouts of my own.

and they are pretty to look at.


on the other hand,
i got some down sides on viewing the wonderful works of other scrapbooker.

sometimes i feel frustrated,

like how i'm such a failure in the hobby that i love,
like other Layouts "rock" and mine does not,

but... thats all in my head.

i've got some albums that rocks too...

like the one i made for my officemate. and the one i made for my sister.

got an LO that won the hearts of some people and i got a price for it(runner up in a challenge, thanks scrapin moms)

looking at the works of others inspires me... its up to myself to appreciate my works more.
