Creating Keepsakes January 2008 Issue

I am so inspired by this issue that I have a lot of projects in mind already.

Unfortunately, things changed when I got home. Arrived home past 10pm as I still waited for hubby's bowling tournament to end (I am on coding on Mondays, so its either I wake up early to bring my car or I go with him after office for his Monday bowling). Kurt was still awake when we got home... and he just fell asleep now, a few minutes before I created this post and its 11:43PM right now so definitely no more time to create those layouts.

Anyway, not to lose my momentum and ideas, I'll just post here the pages I want to scraplift, my ideas, photos to use and journaling.

Page 28 - I'm thinking of using the two pictures that I have already developed, size 5R, one photo is Kurt & dada while the other one is Kurt and me, in one occassion so same color range - this is a great way to use the different buttons that I have.

Page 41-43 - I will definitely try this "photo highlights" that Jessica Sprague discussed. Will download the frame and look for photo where I can use this.

Page 45 - I will definitely make a "i predict" layout.

Page 48-50 - I love Becky's sketch this month. I'm thinking of using this for our trip to the US and the template/sketch for my 2008 scrapbook plan which is to create a monthly summary 2-page LO.

Page 53 - I'll definitely try taking pictures in different angle.

Page 69 - I love the multiple pics in one big circle LO. Will definitely try this for another one event LO. This is so good in creating 1-2 page layout of an event with a lot of pictures but is not worth working for as an entire album theme.

Page 111 - I like the simplicity of this LO and I've been thinking if Kurt have some action photos that I can use to create this.

And my favorite, page. 112 - this is in my top list of layout to do. I REALLy must do this layout. I actually even have some journal ideas already.

I haven't finished reading the magazine yet and I already got a lot of inspirations. I think this is the first time that I was this inspired by one issue.

More to this CK!

Christmas card projects-more pics

Here are some pictures of the christmas cards I created:



Hope, I'll be more artistic next time! LOL!

Christmas card projects

I decided to create some cards last night using my very old stash from HOTP. Here is one of the two cards I made.



Materials used: Beige Canson cardstock, green fiber paper-All about scrapbooking, red canson cardstock, paterned paper from HOTP christmas papers. I used the Cuttle Bug christmas embossing folder and MM glitter paint.

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!

More pictures can be viewed here.

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.
