Fresh From The Balikbayan Box

YEHEY!!!! My sizzix arrived last June.Thanks to you, Dennis and Stanley for allowing me to send 10 pounds of my stuffs. My sincere gratitude to you!!! I can't wait to use them. Bid the Sizzix Alphabets (Big Top, Fruit Smoothie and Graffiti) and Alphabars (Ransom) at Ebay. I got them so cheap, roughly around $50 each with free shipping. For the other sizzix dies, I purchased them at Sizzix.com with a huge savings also.

The Big Day - Anniversary LO

I made this digital layout for my beloved husband during our 5th wedding anniversary. I was supposed to surprise him by printing it over and put it in frame but unluckily I wasn't able to do it. So I just send this layout to his email and when Erwin saw this LO , he turn his head to me and said Well done and "galing daw nya magturo"

Exactly 5 years ago, June 23, 2002 at San Agustine Church, two hearts were united in one soul, exchanged I do’s and vows in front of God as a witness of our everlasting love. I thank you Erwin for being good provider in all our needs. Understanding is one the one of reason why I keep on loving you. As we continue our journey as husband and wife, I’m praying to our Lord Almighty to continue to guide our path and continue to grow each day. You will always me my one and only love for the rest of my life. Happy Anniversary!!!

Caricature

When I was doing this layout, I got inspired with my hubby Erwin. He is a support type that never complains on everything that I do, the things that I bought and everything I want. For him whatever what makes me happy he will support me all the way. The feeling is the same between the two of us, we follow give and take format in our relationship. Even though there is no perfect marriage but we are trying to make it a reality.

When the holiday season is approaching, I’m every busy to think for a perfect gift for Erwin. It’s very hard for me to look for certain gifts because he already have everthing he wants to have until I saw these Caricature painting on the mall. I began to think of Anime figures that he adores. I can’t chose among the two anime, Dragon Ball or Macross so I decided to do two caricature for him . - 12/2006

KAYA CHALLENGE 2

This is my FIRST digital challenge since I joined Pinoyscrapbookers. At first I thought the requirements were hard but with the help of my friend everything turned out to be quick and easy. After 5 hours of facing the computer I was able to produce what I wanted. New to digital scrapbooking, this is a good experience for me. Joining this KAYA challenge helped me to improve my artistic skill and creative ideas to explore with the free stuffs that I downloaded. My sincerest thanks to the people who kept on convincing me to join. Without your inspiring encouragement I still wouldn't produce an outcome.

Elizabeth's LO

Elizabeth ask me to do these digital layout for her. These was supposed to be the entry for Working Mom's Quality Time Challenge last May. As you all know my kumare Elizabeth loves to join contest and challenge, everytime there is a challenge, don't forget to check Zabeth's entry. Sad to say, they are not allowed because the entry should be traditional and not digital scrapbooking.

Cristina Layout

Out of nowhere, I just want to do this for one of my good friend Cristina. My partner in everything down to games, to our common problems and puzzle. She said, I influence her a lot. I was the one who told her Nintendo DS and palm. Now she was totally hooked with it. This girl loves to play. Her bag was always heavy and full of gadgets and chargers. Thanks to me who introduce to her the love of playing games. Tried scrapbooking also but it seems to interest.
