My Birthday Wishes

I received this lovely tag from Annie and Sookie (so sorry took so long for me to post this!). It was fun reading your wishes and I think I kind of "borrowed" some of them (not surprising eh?).

Here's what I need to do:

1. Make a list of what you want for your birthday.
2. The list should be 10 numbers.
3. Include the image of this award on your post.
4. Give it to 10 friends.



My list:

1. 3 weeks vacation (including 1 week at a fab resort somewhere like the Maldives or Koh Samui, I can dream!) with my family
2. A free makeover (possibly with a goody bag, lol)
3. DVD collections of my fave T.V. series
4. Definitely a scraproom!!! (not just a scrap table, hee hee)
5. Loads of scrap supplies (kits would be nice!)
6. A nice tote bag that's not too big and not too small (for scrapmeets)
7. No production problems until 2012!
8. Lower rent
9. Take advantage of a really great sale (scrap supplies, clothes, etc.)
10. Health, wealth and prosperity =D

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch # 140

"Mom & Me"

Gosh, just a few more days and it's mother's day! Needless to say, it inspired me to do a special layot for this week's sketch... that and of course the butterflies! How can I possibly resist?

Materials:
Bazzil Basics Light Yellow, Little Yellow Bicycle D105 Butterfly with glitter, SEI monogram die-cuts, Piggy Tales chipboard alphas, Jenni B metallic butterflies, Thickers Sprinkles, Doodlebug Boutique trims, Doodlebug paper frills, Basic Grey chipboard stickers

Sadly lacking in this layout is the journalling. Then again I don't think I could've squeezed anything else as the letters I used for the title are a bit big (hee hee).

My first sketch at 52 Sketches!

52 Sketches 52 Weeks - Sketch # 16
"gifts!"

So I'm trying my hand at creating a few more layouts and finally got up the courage to enter 52 Sketches. Here's my entry to last week's and it turned out pretty well. The background PP is (yes!) from my SEI "collection" bought last week, the light aqua PP is from a K&Co paper pack that I won from waaay back (almost a year ago). The white ribbon is the last few inches from the one given by Lia from 2 years ago (I really believe in using every piece!).

What I love about this is, apart from the light color (which is not the usual red and green), I used something new (at least for me) - sticking some cotton string to the inner edge of the shaped paper.

"Maika"

This is a long overdue layout (Veron! Heto na ang isa sa mga utang ko sa iyo. Hope you're liking the white space on this one). I love the swirls (from the White Out collection) and will probably be using it on another layout. =) The flower "window" is actually a die-cut label. I cut out the middle portion to make something new out of it, added glitter so the white doesn't look so drab.

The green PP I used is from Bo Bunny (I'm simply loving the Alissa line). Speaking of lines, there's a new "LSS" near our office (opened up in the new mall - Tampines 1). The shop is called "Urban Write" and currently it sells Pebbles Inc and S-E-I (hopefully more brands and products will come in, once they see scrap products are a huge seller). I've already bought the S-E-I papers (unfortunately the one with the glitter butterflies were sold out, *sigh*) and will be posting some new layouts using that line soon.

Ang mga taga-Tampines, pare-pareho ang mga papel! Hahahaha!

"Scrap Family"

I completely forgot about sharing this page! And this was one of my more "creative" ones yet. The leaves were from my stash of scraps. After downloading a nice picture of a leaf (can't remember if it was from a stamp or rub-on), I used the craft robo to cut several pieces from different PPs. The trunk of the tree was hand-cut (patterned after a die-cut from a Halloween layout I saw in a magazine). The birds are from a Christmas PP.

Sayang wala sina Marix, Andros, Maps and Chinqui, para kumpleto sana. Hmmm, I think I still have that photo of the very first Anniversary. =D

Hope you're having a great week!

Bugs

"Squish"

I was trying for a dramatic effect when I took this photo. I didn't expect that Jillian would make it a comedy. If you look closely, she's actually looking at a bug and her foot is poised to squish it.
