Thank You Lord - Don Moen Concert

It was July 28 that time when we watched Don Moen concert at Araneta. It was raining hard that time (God Is Good!!) but we still manage to go and see the concert. (Thanks to my sister in law and her hubby for the ride and the ticket as well.) This is our first Christian concert that we watch after I convert to Christian believer last May 2006. I love the way Don Moen and his band sing praises to God. He sang his all time favorite like Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord, Celebrate Jesus, Give Thanks, God Is Good All The Time, Heal Me O Lord and others. I can totally feel God's presence during that time. I believe being a Christian is really hard but my faith will continue to be stronger each day as face my everyday challenges. To God Be The Glory.

My First Baby Digital LO

Finally, I was able to create a digital LO for myself. The colors looks so sweet and adorable. This is one of my favorite not because it was my baby picture but I'm really inspired when I'm doing it. I had done this layout in less than an hour. Hmmm.... marathon to the max. Oh wait, Am I cute?

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.

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.

Sylvanian

Last 2005, I got hooked with Sylvanian Families. I order from US, Japan and Malaysia to complete some other stuffs that are not available here. Super Addicted!!! But scrapbooking is more addicting. No more for my Sylvanian.... low demand and supply

My hubby also supports me buying some for me also. He said "they are really cute and look like real". Wow!!

This EMPTY deluxe house was a gift from my hubby. I was the one who bought the furnitures. "kung baga si Hubby ang nag-start and me lang ang nagpuno"

Sylvanian Families (シルバニアファミリー) is the name of a line of anthropomorphic collectible toy figures, created by JapaneseEpoch in 1985 and distributed worldwide by a number of companies. The characters, grouped into families, feature woodlandcreatures such as beavers, hedgehogs, mice and bears. They remain a quintessential part of the 1990s boom in craze (or fad) toys..

At the beginning of production, in 1985, Sylvanian Families were released in both Japan and North America, albeit with different packaging and minor differences to the characters themselves. In 1987, the success in these markets led to expansion into the UK and Ireland. By 1988, Sylvanian Families had become a major success around the world, spawning a spinoff animated series, and winning the British Association of Toy Retailers award for Toy of the Year three years consecutively, in 1987, 1988 and 1989. There was also a cartoon TV series shown in the 80s that was popular in Spain and England.
In 1993, Tomy, who had been distributing the toys worldwide, lost the rights to the name "Sylvanian Families" in Canada and the US. Tomy reintroduced the line under the new name Calico Critters.

First Digital LO

I started working on my digital scrapbooking LOs last March 2007. My friend Joanna was the one who introduced me here. She was the one who first downloaded a lot of digital freebies in the internet and shared it with me. I got amazed with her layouts and eventually starting downloading a lot of freebies. Now, I had tons of digital stuffs in my HDD, thanks to for my beloved DH for giving me 50G disk space.
These are some of the LO's I made from the freebies I downloaded.
