weekend treats...

Just sharing some news from the scrapping world. First off, Laines! They chose my little, itty-bitty (but oh so true!) comment... so today I'm gonna go pick it up. =D



...and yesterday I dropped by Nana's blog... found these pretties for sale! I snapped the last of the set #2 and am now patiently waiting for it in the mail.

Finally... I have a decent scrap tote. Just bought it from the LSS and was very pleased with how it looked and felt. I think it's an old design because I can't find a decent picture of it anywhere on the web. Basically it's shaped like the tote bag on the left (with light brown leather handles) but the pattern is the same as the small craft bag on the right.

I've been organizing my stuff to fit in the bag (for the April 10 scrapmeet with the girls) but alas only my papers and thickers would fit. =( I really have to figure out which papers to bring.

That or bring a smaller bag for the embellies and stuff.

3 more layouts! What a feat. I was really pushing myself and trying to see if I could squeeze out a few more pages from the long "winter storage" of a few months.

This one's of an old picture (something I've already made a page on before) using a lot of my old stash.




And this one's for the March 2010 Challenge for Scrappersatsg using the second color combo - Orange and Yellow.

What can I say, I'm still loving that yellow! I just had to make a layout for Jillian (with a title of "sad") because when she saw the page I did with the "happy" title she was looking for the "sad" one... go figure.

pages for March

2 months and 18 days since my last post. Starting off (quite late, but better late than never) with a *bang* this year... 2 pages which I really had fun with. What can I say? I was inspired by good friends and some much needed scrapping time with the girls.

This page is for Shasha's uber talented daughter Julia. I wish I could have put more journalling, but I hope to do that on the other photos.

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
