Doodling

I tried some doodling last night and I am quite happy with the results and medyo nabitin pa nga ako. I got an unfinished layout from my project in progress box (a scrapbukan box)and tried doodling there. what i did is really simple actually. i can't wait to take a picture of it.

Scrapfest 4

Finally! i was able to attend Scrappin' Moms Scrapfest. I was already a member of scrapbooks-exchange when they started the scrapfest but always, there is a conflict in schedule. This time, my calendar is clear. Initially, I was having thoughts of going as the level of their layouts are so different now. But then I realized, how I would I learn if I do not attend these events. Then I had this fear naman of going there alone, I am shy pa naman. What if nobody seats beside me, or even if my seatmate ako, paano kung di ako kausapin. Good thing, I let go of my fears and decided to go. The Scrapfest was held this time in Max Restaurant in QC. I asked hubby pa for directions on how to go there. I arrived the place a little early and its good because I still got a good parking slot. I was so thankful that the ladies are so friendly. I didn't have a problem of adjusting to them.

When we got the chance to enter the place, we went around muna to the suppliers for some shopping, I just looked around canvassing.

Here are some pics that I got from Pia's webshots album:



After that, we had a card making demo.



Had good lunch, syempre, Max eh = )

Then started with our Mini book demo.



AFter the demo, there was a scrapbook layout challenge, unfortunately, I was not able to bring a picture for this challenge. Although I already have an idea of a really good picture that I can use for this challenge theme "Shining Moments" kaso I only prepared the day before and I don't have my wedding cd in the office so di ako nakasali. I just went around looking at their works of art.



Then there was the Idol's contest and I am so in awe of their works of art, ang galing!

Congratulations Scrappin' Moms for a successful Scrapfest. I really had fun!

Subscription with bookoto.com

I bought a subscription from bookoto.com of Memory Makers magazine. I want to try this one out most especially now that Iris is part of the Masters. I was surprised when a package arrived the other day, when I opened it up, they gave me 4 free back issue magazines! whipee! thanks!

I actually do get free mags when I subscribed with Emerald early this year but since in bookoto.com, i only ordered online, i was not aware that they also give out free mags too. For sure I won't be renewing na at Emerald, sa bookoto.com na lang = )

Scrapbooks-Exchange egroup

I just completed reading the posting in scrapbooks-exchange egroup, those dated sept. 10 until today and whew! i missed a lot of happenings in the scrapping world. reading it made me want to go get my things now and scrap. unfortunately, i can't yet as i am still here in the office and i have eye infection again because of my contact lens so i cannot stay up late tonight, need to rest my eyes. haay.. i just hope i can go back to scrapbooking again.

Scrapbook rut!

I am definitely on a scrapbook rut! haven't touched any of my things in a month, only scrapbook related thing that i'm doing is reading my magazines and checking out my egroups. If only we did not have an out of town trip this weekend, I would have joined Scrapbukan's 3rd anniversary, I bet it was fun and it would have waken up my blood in scrapbooking. My hope, that i can join the Scrapfest 4! trying to convince my boss and other officemate to go with me =)

Updates on scrapbooking

I created another simple layout the other night. Yet to take a picture of it. I love it but I wished I have used black paper instead of white para mas buhay.

Now, I'm trying to read the new issues of Simple Scrapbooks and Creating Keepsakes. These arrived today from my subscription with Emerald Headway. I'm also not done yet drooling at the albums in Album Shortcuts by Simple Scrapbooks. It's so inspiring that I want to create another mini album about kurt's 1st year. That has been a 2year old project that I've been wanting to do as gift for my sister in the US. She still doesn't have any picture of Kurt and to think Kurt is turning three on October.

Droppin by

I am still alive. Been out of touch for so long as I am sooo busy at work. I am doing a lot of teaching assignments in our office training and I find it more tiring than actual fieldwork as with training, I stay late to study my area for teaching then I still need to be early the next day as we're supposed to be there the entire time even if we're not the first instructor for the day.

Update about scrapbooking, well, the only scrapbook related thing I did the whole time I was gone is to browse my new book/magazine which is Simple Scrapbook's Album Shortcuts. Not even finished reading my Real. Life. Scrapbooking.

Oohh... and I was busy reading Harry Potter book 7 too.. Teehee.. finished this five days after I purchase the book, a bad record for me as I usually completed books 1-6 in one-two days after buying it. No regrets though as I want to postpone the end of my Harry Potter journey.
