Christmas LayOut

I've done it.
hehehehe.
A christmas LO.

Cards, more cards.

Kaya Challenge 8

i was planning to join this challenge.
too bad, i did not get to work on my cards earlier in time for the challenge deadline for submission.
i made 7 cards and used the sketch provided by Ms Valerie Salmon for the kaya 8.
too bad i did not get to take the pictures of the other 6... i gave them away on the same day i accomplished the cards, December 31, 2007... in time for a simple reunion with our college friends. (i had the picture taken and printed on the same day Dec 31, 2007)

i used my AL clear christmas stamps (my only christmas stamp set).
some DCWV papers,
mm paints,
"the princess" inque boutique stamp.

i ask my hubby to write "Tan Family". i find my hubby's hand writing much more prettier than mine.

its my first time to give Holiday cards with our family picture on it.
i hope our friends would keep the cards.
i'm going to put this one in my scrapbook.

Christmas cards

Here are Some Christmas Cards that i made.
it looks like some Grade school's Christmas Card Project. well, i felt like grade school again while i was making these cards. I was so happy to be a Kid again for just a few hours.

i hope my friends liked my cards.
i've put a lot of love creating this.

Clear Acrylic Page

Here is my 1st shot at acrylic sheet Layout.



A friend of mine wants to give something special to her brothers. Something special to remind her brothers that they have a family that loves them here in manila. They, her brothers, are usually abroad, they come home to manila for the holidays.

she wants her brothers to be able to display the Layout and see it everyday. The Scrappin Mom's Idol final challenge gave me the idea of using acrylic sheet. i remember that they put the final Layouts on a stand to show them to the crowd. So i thought to give it a go. another idea was the shadow box, but i would have to look for it and travel to the seller and buys it. But, i just have this 1 week time to accomplish the Layout in time for Christmas. Acrylic sheet is more convenient for me. my friend Michelle sells them at Visual Creations, and we meet almost every Fridays.

my inspiration for this layout is my friend Nita's kaya Challenge Layout entry Favorite things. i had this in mind when i started creating this Layout. things changed while i was making it. (thanks Nita for the inspiration)



Maribel’s Acrylic Sheet

i mod podge the surface to protect the pictures from water and scratches... and at the same time stick everything on the acrylic.
