Update on Christmas Project

I've neglected my blog for so long, I had a hard time accessing it...

Here's a post about my Christmas project, 2010 calendars. Lost count of how many of these I made for giveaways (for DH, DD, DS1, DS2 and myself). I must have made more or less 100 pieces (plus packaging)...




Thanks for looking!

Blog Candy Package from Kristen Swain

At last, this blog candy package from Kristen Swain is here! I actually received the notice a few days before the typhoon hit the Philippines (26 September 2009). A lot of things happened after that day so I was not able to attend to this right away. Yesterday (12 Oct 2009), I sent our driver (he just took the bus/tricycle) to the Main Post Office in Quezon City to claim the package. Here it is...










Thank you very much, Kristen! I am very excited to use them...I hope I'll find the time soon!

My first two 2010 Calendars

When the "ber" months came, I decided to make mini-desk calendars and/or mini-albums as Christmas give-aways. I started by cutting my "old" double-sided patterned papers/cardstocks into 4x4's (for calendar pages) and 4x10.5 (for calendar stands). Here are the first two finished mini-desk calendars...

Twisted Sketches Nos. 8, 1-5

Sketch No. 8 is up at Twisted Sketches! Here's my take...

TS#08 - Use flower
Title: mother & daughter


As promised, I am sharing my layouts inspired by TS#s 01 - 05...

TS#05 - use fabric
Title: Banaue adventure



I cut a small canvass fabric, used rub-ons for my "Banaue" title, sprayed pearl glitter mist to seal the rub-on, painted some crackle effect on some parts of the fabric, placed the "adventure" sticker and wrote "Fred" and "March 2006" with my uniball signo white pen.

TS#04 - use transparency
Title: Mom & Son



TS#03 - use bling
Title: forever grateful


TS#02 - use die-cut
Title: dengue (not disco) fever


TS#01 - use ribbon
Title: fred: the man, the myth, the legend


That's it, folks! Another project updated...thanks for looking!

Another Discovery - Twisted Sketches!

When I got updated on my Kaya, Card Patterns, 52S52W, whatisyourfavething and SMI3 challenges, I searched the scrapbooking community for another challenge blog that I can join/work on. I found Twisted Sketches (forgot where, though). They are on their 7th sketch...here's my take:

TS#07 - Use Brads or Buttons
Title: Havin' Fun


I thoroughly enjoyed doing this LO that I also did one inspired by TS#06...

TS#06 - Use stamp
Title: me


I have selected the photos for LOs based on TS#01 to 05. I will share the layouts with you once they are done.

I am very happy that I am, slowly but surely, filling up my albums and using up my scrapbooking materials (I had been just hoarding for ages...hehehe!).
