I Won Kaya 11

I was busy creating another digital layout when I accidentally remember if Mia where able to draw the winner for Kaya. I immediately visit the site and got SURPRISED when I saw my name. I felt speechless. Quickly, I called Nita and telling her the good news. She keeps on shouting HOORAY!! and ask about the prize for we all know that Mia is so generous and Nita believes the prize will be awesome. Thank you Mia.

Happy Birthday, Erwin

Can't find a gift for Erwin until I got an idea from babycakestore owned by Hyce, a friend of my sister. She made baby cakes out of diapers. Do check it out her site. Upon seeing the ready made baby cake that she made for her previous customers, i immediately text her and ask me if she can do a cake for Erwin. After series of text and chat, I decided to have this idea. A towel cake with a Yummy junk foods as topper of the cake. Hyce name this cake as her Junkie Towel Cake creation.

A Boxer Rose For Erwin For Valentine

February 14 - Happy Valentine! Can't find a perfect gift for my hubby Erwin until Joanna buzzed me about this boxer rose. Her friend Hyce was the one who made this roses out of briefs or boxers.
I immediately YM her and order 1 single stem boxer rose for Erwin. I tell Cabbie about this and she also order one.

Opening of Gifts

Opening our gifts was one of our agenda last Christmas eve. I gathered all the gifts and took a souvenir photos of our wrapped gifts. Many thanks to all the friends who gave us Christmas gifts and cards. I won't mention one by one I'm pretty sure you can distinguish your respective gifts to us. To our friends who gave us cakes, brownies, and yummy dessert thank you for making our holiday so fattening. So yummy... stand by for diet and exercise.

Last November I list down all I want for Christmas, surprisingly I never thought that I can receive the first in my list that I had written down.

He loves to buy for me the green lizard strap but I change it to blue, my favorite color.

Rak (Random Act of Kindness) Winner Annouced - I Won!!

I was busy doing a traditional layout in my scrap room when Achie Nita buzzed me. She said,may surprise ako sa iyo, I immediately reply to her, I was thinking that she surprised me with a visit, then the YM window pop in back, telling me that you won and witness daw siya when Marj draw my name. OMG! That’s my first reaction and I keep on shouting and thanking God for the wonderful blessing first winning the kaya 7 and now this rak from Marj. I didn't expect to win because I know that I have no luck from any raffle.

Here's the prizes why we are all so eager to join this RAK.

Marj decided to spread more joy and blessings to us by revising the mechanics instead of drawing 5 names, its now 16. More chances of winning! Yipee! Each winner will receive scrapbooking goodies worth at least $20 each. Lee helps Marj to divide the stash to 16 winners.

Here's Marj announcement to the group:

I won KAYA 7 challenge!

Winning this challenge was the biggest accomplishment since I started digital scrap booking. I personally want to thank the people who voted for me and believing my skills and creativeness to be able to produce my winning layout. I can proudly say that I have a "K" in this hobby. This is the feeling pa... "para kang nanalo ng award", friends keeps on CONGRATULATING me, honestly I ever won any contest nor challenge in my entire life this is the FIRST time, and I will surely treasure and remember that KAYA became a part of my precious hobby, scrapbooking.

To all my friends who keep on criticizing my layout, thank you so much, without your comments I would be able to improve on my skills. I owe you one. To achie Nita who keeps on nagging me to do more layouts often than hoarding scrapbook stuffs, thank you for knocking on me.

Friday, November 30, 2007: KAYA 7 WINNERS by Nita Ang

First of all, I'd like to salute all the ladies who bravely met this month's Kaya 7 challenge. You are all so talented and I am even more impressed with the creativity of this group. Ang gagaling nyo lahat!

Now, for the winners of this month's challenge. I am proud to announce that the winner for our digital layout is JOYLEEN LIM garnering 35 votes out of 71. It is amazing how Joy was able to almost duplicate her source of inspiration. Being a gamer, herself, I can imagine why she is so inspired by it. Great job, sistah :D


As for the traditional layout, the winner is none other than MARIX MARTE garnering 62 votes out of 181. Talk about that spark of inspiration. This one surely started a wild-fire! Truly well-deserved, indeed :D

PRIZE:
CONGRATULATION, ladies. Now, the winners for this month's challenge are each receiving an identical package fresh from my scrap stash (pps, cs, chipboards & rub-ons). Au Lim has also generously added the complementing Queen & Co acrylic flowers and fibers to match the pps.


Besides these prizes, the two lucky winners are also getting a scrapbooking magazine of their choice from two wonderful ladies. THANK YOU Leirs Pagaspas for your special gift to Marix (Creative Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, Scrapbook, Etc., or Memory Makers). Also, to Julie Kelly for adding to Joyleen's prize any digital or special issue digital magazine. Both magazines may be redeemed anytime from Bookoto.

Thank you Nita and Au for the prize. You are so generous. Added Stash!! Mwah
Thank you also to Julie Kelly of bookoto for sponsoring a digital magazine.
