Skipping this year's tradition of gulping down 18 Starbucks drinks to get a planner! My jeans won't have any more space for Christmas calories if I start gulping down frappuccinos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My alternative was to get a Moleskin planner, but hey the cheapskate in me,just bought a notebook from National Bookstore. I added washi tape, and did some stamping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was just so lucky to purchase a date stamp when I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was also able to purchase a notebook cover from H&M with a beautiful texture. Very happy with next year's planner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You don't have to purchase a fancy planner. Just make your own!</div>

Last year was a year of upheaval in my life. We didn't travel at all, so I didn't have anything to scrapbook. Well this year, the opposite is true. I have so many pictures and didn't have time to put them in lay outs. A quick fix is making mini albums.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with using an echo park getaway travel papers, and some chip board used a zutter bind it all and I'm good to go!</div>

I have also made a mini album for Bali, and I have yet to work on my Dubai one. And so now, if I want to revisit where we went, I get a mini album complete with maps of where we went, what souvenirs we bought and where we had fun!bessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11777031317186929705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655646905605413231.post-28356484977040000342014-09-28T04:34:00.000-07:002014-09-28T04:34:42.652-07:00for Mayora<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A friend is a person close to your heart. I have never met her in person, but I have always conversed with her in Facebook. She's been a friend for the past couple of years. And I am proud to have her as a friend.<br />
So what do you give a person who has everything? Well, I made her a lay out since she loves scrapbooking so much. bessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11777031317186929705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655646905605413231.post-85077224685513548122014-08-13T23:34:00.001-07:002014-09-28T04:35:00.358-07:00Pages for a boy named Andro<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My friend Lola Kate and I are serious paper addicts. Never met a paper we did not like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so we split a Graphic 45 Tea Roses paper set, while I was in the store, I was cut cutting roses and birds. </div>

I used to breeze through making lay outs. And then nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life got busy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had fun with my online store in FB selling scrap stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was kinder to myself, taking a rest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so it is with an Iris class that has me scrapping again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am amazed how with a bit of mists, some glass bead gel, gel medium and gesso, she can make gorgeous lay outs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Heading into Round 2 of the Supreme Scrap Tournament. First up, I've never done a single monochromatic lay out in my life. I am thankful that this tournament really challenges us to work outside our comfort zone.<br />
I only had 2 black and white photos. So my choices were limited. And I was only choosing between white and kraft for my monochromatic colors. <br />
It took me three hours to make this double lay out. Apparently it takes a lot of work and time to do this.<br />
I ended up using like 5 sheets of white cardstocks for this lay out. I punched 2 sheets of paper using different border punchers. The more intricate the punch, the better. I wanted to recreate the beautiful lace work of the bridal gown. With the strips of paper border strips, I glued them down on the white cardstocks. I was measuring with ruler, sometimes I do get OC.<br />
Next up, I piled on trims and die cuts. Those die cuts were cut in white foam, but they had a grey tinge on them. So I had to paint over them with gesso.<br />
I finally get to use my Maya Road White sequins which I have been hoarding for the longest time! <br />
I added resins from Prima and white paper flowers.<br />
Lastly, the title I DO, I used white thickers from American Crafts.<br />
Who knew I had so many white embellishments in the house?<br />
Will be making more monochromatic lay outs in the future? Probably not. It was a arduous process. And monochromatic is never my first choice. I like to live my life in full color!<br />

Along with some friends, I have joined an international competition producing lay outs. So the next couple of weeks should be fun. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Starting with two pieces of watercolor paper, paint with yellow and orange water color the upper part of the paper, using bold brush strokes. Next up, using a combination of gel medium, glass bead gel and rust colored paint, mix well and apply to paper over a brick mask. Using a loaded paint brush, flick on water color paper using water and watercolors.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Stamp on paper.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Pile on die cuts from Webster's papers, layer them on. Trim pictures if necessary. Use green paper to provide base for all the pictures. Glue on wooden chipboard embellishments. I have also added some acrylic paint to the chipboard tree and birds. Add on prima Flowers. I have also added some twine on a tag. Write Journalling on tag: " I live in a paradise called the Philippines. We have wide and open roads, shady trees. Flowering plants all year through. Even our lamp posts are pretty. This is paradise within 1000 steps from home." Hide tag beneath topmost left picture. </div>

A friend and I have been discussing that our lay output this year has been in the low 60's. I used to top the 200 list the previous years. So what happened?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been travelling less. Less travels, Less pictures to scrap about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Papers are all starting to look the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in the spirit of creating more, I've started scrapping in three's again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every Wednesday, I make 3 lay outs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's start with that.</div>

A big smile out, now live at the Filipino Scrapbookers site. Challenge #32. <br />
I purchased a rim of the blue paper which I used as a base. I am having a lot of fun using that paper. Pretty to boot.<br />
I used some K & Co embellishments, which you can buy in a pack. I love the nature theme. Very classic.<br />
I happily finished my lay out requirements and cards way ahead of schedule. Up to March of next year, in fact. So now I have no cloud of pending work hanging over my head. I can freestyle lay outs. yay!<br />

I colored the stamped Magnolia image with distress inks and a watercolor brush. I found that if you look for a small enough doily, you can use this to frame Tilda. And no need to purchase every spellbinder die out there. <br />
I used some small Bangkok paper flowers and a resin flower from All About Scrapbooking. <br />
Please do join the fun and make more cards this August.<br />

Totally loving the Martha Stewart Circle Punch. I am still waiting to purchase mine! So I just borrowed a friend's and punched one. Next up, I used script stamp on top and distressed it Peacock Blue. For the stitching on top, that is a handy stitch stamp. I still have yet to use my stitching tool. Argh. I keep buying tools I hardly use.</div>

Going through my stash, I end up with new discoveries all the time. I found out that I hoarded up on twinkling waters. So here I colored all the corners with twinkling water creating a colorful border. I am also using more of my self made mists. Time to get the mists out of storage and finish those first.</div>

Life got busy, and mojo left me behind. I am currently finishing up projects for the Filipino Scrapbookers group. Three more cards, and I am done for the assignments for the year. Hooray!<br />
Just because I don't post here, doesn't mean I am not creating stuff. <br />
I bought like a packet of these papers, which I totally love since I don't have to punch punch around the page anymore. The die cuts are from 1 page of Graphic 45 papers. So nice! It goes well with my Mamita and Baby Hans picture. I also used a Prima Cherubim resin, Webster's papers for the flowers, and Prima flowers.<br />

I bought an extra Kaisercraft embellishment kit, and I am working with that. I mix it up with new Webster's papers. I add butterflies from a Melissa Frances embellishment box and some resins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some modeling/texture paste from my friend Karen Ngo. I swear, you don't need all the other mediums. All you need is this one. And maybe some gesso.</div>

We've been friends with Helen for the past couple of years. This year, Karen, Sharon and I decided to hold free classes over at Memory Lane store, to celebrate Helen's Birthday.<br />
This beautiful card is the project of Doc Sharon. I am having difficulty uploading the other projects for the class.

To celebrate our friend Helen's birthday. A bunch of us are giving free classes at Memory Lane Store. Memory Lane store is at 99A. Lake st. Barangay Balong Bato in San Juan. If you are coming from SM Sta. Mesa, after the stoplight is UERM on your right side. Just follow the LRT for a bit. When the road narrows to 2 lane, slow down and look for a barber shop on the right side. When you see the barber shop, make a right. That should be A. Lake st. look for #99. I've been there a few times, and that's my fool proof directions to get there.<br />
I am hosting a free make and take lay out. Karen will be teaching a Tim tag and Sharon has a couple of cards lined up.<br />
We hope you will join the fun this Saturday. See you. Classes start at 9:30 a.m.bessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11777031317186929705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655646905605413231.post-70104225346286585242013-05-18T04:47:00.001-07:002013-05-18T04:47:16.292-07:00Mad about Magnolia.Blog Candy now up!

I made a cute cute Mother's day card for my mom. I used DCWV papers, American Crafts for the white cardstock. Die cuts are from Ime. She brings her dies and I cut cut away using foam. The foam is pretty when you add acrylic paint on it. Resins are avalable from scraphappy on Facebook. I used flowers from Prima and from my bestfriend Katcho. <br />
I used an Alli stamp for the bottom. The sentiment is just so perfect.<br />
The message is: Mom, love you and all that you bring to my life everyday.<br />
I know that this Magnolia stamp is for easter. But it's so cute! And the message of nurturing, taking care of your chicks. It's there. <br />
Give your mom some love in the coming days.bessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11777031317186929705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655646905605413231.post-30300320355629717812013-04-20T16:45:00.001-07:002013-04-20T16:45:40.288-07:00A Fun Card Class<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
