I LOVE YOU EVERYDAY

Hello I'm back with another project to share with you.

This LO is for a couple of great challenges-

LET'S GET TRENDY NOW! 3

Day 2: Sequins

and for

ARTFUL DELIGHT

June sketch challenge-

Here is my layout using

ARTFUL DELIGHT June kit mixed with my older supplies-

Love the sketch from ARTFUL DELIGHT.

While doing this layout it brought me to tears, my eldest is now 13

and will be starting high school soon.

It's a mix feeling of sadness that he's growing too fast and also

fear that in only 4 years he will go to college and probably be away from us :(

But i know he's a smart and good kid. Everyday,

we continue to show him how much we love him and continue to guide him to the right path.

Like, i mentioned this one is also for

 LET'S GET TRENDY NOW! 3 Sequins challenge

and i love how i just drop a handful of sequins to the layout

and wherever they fall that's where i glue them.

I hope you enjoy this layout and thank you again for stopping by.

MAKE YOUR OWN STAMP CHALLENGE-



For this challenge, I made my own stamp using the foam adhesive

I got from 99 cents store and they come in 2x2 sizes cut in four.

I used 4 of the stamped hearts in this layout and love the watercolor effect.

ITS ALL IN THE SMILE- PAGEMAPS IMAGINISCE SKETCH CONTEST

TGIF! Hi there! 

What a lovely weather here in San Diego, the sun is out and it's warm outside. Can't wait for my two boys to get off school maybe we'll spend some time in the park. My table where I scrap is in front of the window so I can see how beautiful the weather is. Today, I decide to scrap and play along

 PAGEMAPS IMAGINISCE sketch contest.

...and here is my layout....

I tried to do layers and used fun bright colors in this layout and I'm happy how it came out. Again, the papers and embellishments I used are a mix and match of my own stash and left overs from previous kits.

And just to show you where my humble creative corner is located, it's in the corner of the master bedroom, lots of natural light comes in and i don't even have to go outside to take photos of my layout. I love it!!!

Thanks again for stopping by and looking.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

MY TAKE ON ARTFUL DELIGHT MARCH SKETCH CONTEST

Happy Thursday everyone!

It's been awhile since i joined any contest and since I've been able to scrap this past few days i thought, why don't i give it a try and start playing along with the challenges again?

ARTFUL DELIGHT blog always have great simple sketches that can really get you inspired and just love their sketch for this month.

....and here is what i came up with using the sketch...

All the products used here are a mix and match of left overs from previous

ARTFUL DELIGHT kits i have hoarded for months :)

I've been a long time costumer of Leanne's (owner of AD) kits for a long time now and I hate to admit it but even in my absence from scrapbooking i did not stop my subscription from her kit because i don't want to miss any of it (that's how much i love them!)

I might try out for her DT call that she's having right now, we'll see.

I hope you enjoy looking and have a wonderful, fabulous day!!!

FSCB SKETCH 16 & ARTFUL DELIGHT MARCH KIT

A new sketch is up at FILIPINO SCRAPBOOKER'S CHALLENGE BLOG and i had fun creating using the sketch and using ARTFUL DELIGHT's March Kit.

 

I decided to print out the photo i took using instagram and it came out perfect. I printed out the photo bigger than the regular instagram size photo and it still came out great.

 

Sketch #16 of FSCB was created by Kath and here is my take on it-

 

 

The colors in the ARTFUL DELIGHT MARCH kit are just perfect...i love, love the soft pastel colors of TERESA COLLINS paper collections (Memories, He said She said, & Stationery Noted) that are included in the kit.

I hope you can come by FILIPINO SCRAPBOOKER's CHALLENGE BLOG and be inspired by the talented DT's.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day.
