Quick lay outs

 I have not been able to scrap so much this year!  been busy with life,  my online scrapbook store,  and work.  The first one is a picture inside Taipei 101.

A picture of me and my hubby at the Singaporean Ambassador's residence for CNY.

                                                     Inside the Taiwan museum.  

     I will try to be good about posting more stuff now.

Planner 2015

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.

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.

I was just so lucky to purchase a date stamp when I did.

I was also able to purchase a notebook cover from H&M  with a beautiful texture.  Very happy with next year's planner.

You don't have to purchase a fancy planner.  Just make your own!

Taipei Travel Album

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.

  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!

I also mixed in some white water colour paper and some black card stock to make the album more fun!

Beside our hotel was a veritable treasure trove of a store!  I was able to purchase scrapbook stickers of Taiwan,  washi tape and anything I can beautify my album with.  

I am so in love with uniball signo white pens.  The pen pops up in black paper, so I can journal to my heart's content.

  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!

for Mayora

  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.
  So what do you give a person who has everything?  Well,  I made her a lay out since she loves scrapbooking so much.

Pages for a boy named Andro

When work becomes play

Here are some of my works commissioned by a client.  These are lay outs of a baby boy.

I had so much fun making these!

Rushed Romantics

My friend Lola Kate and I are serious paper addicts.  Never met a paper we did not like.

And so we split a Graphic 45 Tea Roses paper set,  while I was in the store,  I was cut cutting roses and birds.  

I misted and put textured paste on some white backgrounds from a previous class.

I do things in batches.  Make sure that you decorate backgrounds,  pile on embellishments, title and journal.

  I purchased the ribbons on sale at Gourdo's.  The AC thickers are from Qoolayful.  Brand spanking new!

Graphic 45 papers available at Lasting Impression Philippines.

In between finishing these lay outs,  we even had time to get stuck in traffic and go crazy scrap shopping.
