Mini Album at Scrappinmoms

I made this album for the Scrappinmoms' Idol.The album was inspired by Mother Goose. The mini album is composed of 4 parts. Each part features a nursery rhyme and an ATC.

Part 1. "Hush-a-Bye"






Rhyme: Hush-a-bye baby, lie still with thy daddy, Thy mommy has gone to the mill, to get some meal to bake a cake, so pray my dear baby, lie still.

Journaling: Even as an infant you always find comfort in Dada's chest. In fact he is the one who can put you to sleep.

Part 2: "Sulky Sue"




Rhyme: Here's sulky Sue, what shall we do? Turn her face to the wall till she comes to.

Journaling: What Ike wants Ike gets...'coz if you don't get it you definitely make sure that you get it!

Part 3: "The Mouse and the Clock"




Rhyme: Hickory, dickory, dock! The mouse ran up the clock; The clock struck one, and the he run, Hickory dickory dock!

Journaling: The first time you heard the alarm clock ring you suddenly shifted into your curious look and began to study the alarm's mechanism.

Part 4: "Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling"



Rhyme:Diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John went to bed with his breeches on one stocking off, and one stocking on; Diddle diddle dumpling, my son John.

Journaling: No matter what we do you always end up with only one shoe on. p to now we still wonder how and why?

This is the first time I made ATC and I enjoyed it so much. I think I make more of it!

Another weekend of Challenges

The background paper was hand painted by me. I used sponge and acrylic paint to create the clouds. then I used an old place mat ang crackle paint to add the finishing touches.

Another Prize Won from Scrappin Kids

Last February 28 I joined another fun online crop over at Scrappin' Kids. I was only able to join 1 challenge which was sponsored by Ate Issa. Guess what! I won!!! LOL...I enjoyed making this layout so much. I love the colors so much. I is so funky! By the way I used sassafras and Scenic Route papers which I bought last year. And you know...as a prize I got these patterned papers by October Afternoon Night Light collection. Don't you just love those little monsters! I've been craving for these papers since last year...finally I got them!!! Thank you so much Ate Issa!!!

More Reasons to Celebrate

Yes...it is true my layout was featured in the November issue of Pagemaps. It was a wonderful birthday blessing for me. I've been dreaming of being featured in it for quite a while already and it came true on my birthday!

Another blessing is that I won 2nd runner-up in the resently concluded SK @9 Marathon. Wow...when it pours it really pours. To all those who congratulated and greeted me Thank you so much!!!

Do come back within the week coz I just might PAY IT FORWARD...

Before I go I would like to leave you some photos taken over the weekend.

SK @ 9 Marathon challege # 5

"MOJO" ... That was the clue for the latest challenge of Scrappin Kids. It was Ate Issa's turn to give us the challenge. And we were required to create a masculine layout but we should use flourishes on it. Since I have a son, I'm a bit comfortable with this challenge because I use flowers on my boy layouts most of the time.

Here is the layout that I created for this challenge:



Take a closer look:

SK @ 9 Marathon Challenge # 4

Finally I'm done with this challenge. This is the most difficult so far. We have to use at least 5 of these materials: Inks, stickles, embossing, watercolor, utee, paints or glimmer mist.
Here is my layout:



Well I used Ranger inks and brilliance (to distress the strips of paper and the painted frame and to stamp the word explore),

Pearl UTEE ( to add effect on the accent under the word family), Stickles (I used diamond stickles on the word family)



paint(on the frames)



and glimmer mist (on the brown cardstock):

SK @ 9 Marathon Challenge # 3

My Boy...Your smile Puts a smile on my face. I LOVE YOU!!! XOXO

This is the title and my journaling on my latest layout for the scrappin Kids Marathon challenge # 3. I had lots of fun with this challenge. This is the first time to use blocks of 3 x 3 inches of patterned papers. I loved how this layout turned out. Here is the layout I'm talking about:

SK @ 9 Marathon Challenge # 2

It is now time for the second challenge of the SK @ 9 Marathon.

I had a hard time thinking of a way to create a different matting for my photo. So what I did was, I asked myself what material will I use for my matting? I thought of ribbons and buttons because they are the most abundant materials that I have. From there I created my matting. Here is my layout:



How I made my matting:

I cut out several colors of ribbons. I glued the ribbons on a base cardstock so that it will hold together and that it will not be difficult for me to place the photo. After sticking the photo I bordered it with buttons. Sticking the ribbons one by one may be very tasking but it is all worth it.

Scrappin Kids @ 9 Marathon

The marathon has started and baby Ike is sick. I almost did not make it but I am not a quitter I woke up at 5 am just to do this layout. Thank God Ike has been cooperative.

Here is my first marathon layout:

Journaling:

Look at the picture closely...YES it is a plastic bag. This may not be your favorite outfit but I love the way it fitted you perfectly. You even posed for the camera like a PRO. Just comes to show that you can carry any outfit you wear.

My Scrappinmoms Idol Entries

Hey! Do you like the new look of my blog. Well, it's Christmas season already. I guess I got bored with the old look of my blog so I changed it a bit. I tried my hand on customizing my header. The digi kit is courtesy of My Shabby Princess . I loved the way it turned out. If only I can get a free Christmas digi kit somewhere. Maybe I can make a Christmas themed header.
