Calendar

Scrappersatsg Challenge # 29
"January"

6 days to go til Christmas! And yes, I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet. A lot of events we went to (and still to go to) this month and they all contributed to the general good cheer and holiday spirit. Loved our Christmas Scrapmeet, Office Party (Retro 70's!), and celebrated a few birthdays with colleagues and friends (night out at a pub and a slumber party)... wish it was December all year round! LOL. =P

I made this calendar at the office coz I was really inspired by Webster's Pages and Graphic 45. I just wish work would let up so we can really feel the spirit of the season.

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! =D

Of Yoghurts and Swimming

Sooo, I'm updating for some of the pages I've done on the last Scrappersatsg scrapmeet (too bad a lot of the girls weren't there, we missed you!). That was about 3 weeks ago, and yes this post is waaay delayed.

Thanks to My "mommy" Marix for giving me this wonderful loot! =D What a treat in time for Halloween.


And now for a few quick layouts (quickly made up to a certain point, really) that I only finished last night. =P

CJ's Challenge
"Yoghurt Face"

For CJ's challenge on the scrapmeet, we were tasked to make a page with the ff. elements: (1) a red background, (2) food-related title, (3) a long embellishment, (4) a circular item.

Sassafras Lass was just perfect for this and I'm lovin' the red and green.

Cute #1's challenge
"swim fun"

For Beths' challenge, we were to make a layout with the ff.: (1) a photo of 1 adult and 1 child, and (2) alter a chipboard accent with patterned paper used somewhere else on the layout.

I'm so glad Abby bought so many pics of Bettina and Teta, she even shared some of her stash so I could finish the title. Thanks girl! =D

Ren - Mum to Be

"Mum 2 Be"

Another October post! Better late than never I always say. This one's based on Valerie Salmon's work "You & Me" on the Feb/March 2009 issue of Scrapbooks Etc. We gave our colleague Ren a surprise baby shower today at the office and she was totally caught off guard. Everyone had a great time. I managed to bring my mom and Jillian as well. Too bad Jill wanted to go home before all the games ended, but still it was tons of fun!

Can't wait for tomorrow's scrapmeet! And the halloween party we've got planned on Sunday next! =D Party, party, party!

Lil Artist

52 Sketches 52 Weeks - Sketch # 40
"Lil Artist"

A long overdue layout of my interpretation of Julie Bonner's sketch (posted 2 weeks past). I was waiting for the sun to come out these past few weeks and just my luck that it's been raining (hard) the past month.

I made this a couple of weeks before the typhoon struck the Philippines. My tito's family wasn't spared (they live in Pasig and the first floor of their 2-storey house was completely flooded). Thank God there wasn't much damage to our house in Nova. I was totally surprised about what happened in Makati though. =(

I thought our only problem would be work but guess a lot of other stuff seem to come out from the woodwork... that's life.

The Last Challenge

Scrapbook Challenges - August Challenge
"carefree me"

A definite sign of my slipping scrapping mojo (I can barely keep my blog updated!). This layout is waaay late but it's one of my more unique takes on SC's monthly challenges. =) It was also POTW (Pick of the Week)! Woohoo! =D

I sure am missing the group and hopefully I can still post a page or two (or more!) if time permits. I'm also keen on joining the weekly challenges at 52 Sketches but alas, no time to scrap. =( (a bit busy with work and too engrossed with "The Lost Symbol", LOL).

Oh mojo, where are you? =o

Stephanie's Blog Candy

Happy Weekend! =)

I took a leave from work yesterday, feeling a little tummy flu (but mostly just escaping the office, LOL). I was *positive* I'd get a few layouts done but nooo, my mojo was nowhere to be found. I'm seeing a pattern here... I don't scrap a month or so, and then when I do start the pages just come out 1-2-3. Then I get to the 5th or 6th page then after that I totally can't make the next one. So frustrating!

So now, I'm blog-hopping to get more ideas and I stumbled on this yummy blog candy from Stephanie:

It ends on Tues. (Sept. 1).
